self-mastery part 2: embracing the journey through life and soul cycles

Are you ready to dive deeper into the untapped realms of self-mastery and understand the powerful cycles that govern our lives? In this final part of our two-part series, we’ll expand on the insights from our first episode, where we uncovered the delicate balance between mastering our fate and aligning with the universe's natural rhythms. In this episode, I take you further into the fascinating world of life cycles, exploring the seven-year phases that map out human growth and development. Ever wondered why certain ages seem pivotal in your life? We'll dissect each cycle, helping you identify which phase you're currently navigating and how to leverage this knowledge for transformative personal growth.Then, we shift our focus to the timeless wisdom of various esoteric and spiritual traditions, contemplating the profound concept of reincarnation—not to convert you to any spiritual belief, but to offer a broader perspective on life's challenges. Viewing life as a 'school' with lessons to learn can change how we approach our experiences, providing a framework for enduring growth and self-mastery. Tune in to explore how these ancient insights can be applied to modern life challenges, offering you a holistic view that connects your personal journey to the larger cosmic tapestry. This isn't just about spiritual beliefs—it's about using age-old wisdom to cultivate a deeper, more interconnected understanding of life, empowering you to navigate your path with greater awareness and purpose. Don't miss this chance to transform how you perceive and interact with the world around you.Enjoyed this episode? Explore more as a Premium Submarine.

I don’t want to talk to your personality; I want to talk to your soul. Imagine if your most painful and debilitating mental health symptoms and self-sabotaging behaviors aren’t evidence of 'disorder' or 'dysfunction', but adaptive strategies that once kept you safe. My goal is to help you shift from asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ to ‘What happened to me?’The word ‘borderline’ in this podcast isn’t about psychiatric labels. It’s about coming back from the inner psychological brink we all experience. Everyone has found themselves on the edge, in that liminal space where the old self falls apart and the new Self emerges. Here, we explore what it means to undergo true emotional alchemy: that ancient and primordial process of falling apart, confronting the underworld of our psyche, and falling back together into someone stronger, wiser, and more whole.Many highly sensitive people who identify with the seemingly never-ending list of diagnostic mental health labels contained within ‘the bible of psychiatry’ (the DSM) share the same underlying sense of being irreparably broken, disconnected from their intuition, and paralyzed by life’s existential questions. I believe the resulting—and perfectly understandable—chronic feelings of emptiness and spiritual starvation are the TRUE causes of our current collective ‘mental health crisis.’ Together, we’ll dive into depth psychology, mythology, human consciousness, critical psychiatry, and the impact of trauma to help you begin the process of emotional alchemy. This exploration will help you get to the root cause of your suffering and free yourself from the toxic shame, limiting beliefs, and mental programming that have kept you locked in the chains of your past.In an era where mental health and spirituality are too often commercialized, I’m not here as a guru with a quick fix to sell you. I don’t believe anyone is ever truly ‘healed’ or ‘cured.’ There is no return to some mythical state of pre-trauma purity, but rather a continuous spiral of unbecoming, unlearning, and transformation. As a fellow seeker, I will be there in your ear, walking alongside you on your path toward wholeness as a sort of parasocial big sister. That, I can promise. By integrating the concepts we explore together, you’ll begin to see that anyone—even you—can come back from the borderline.CRAVING MORE?
