this hits. that quiet after the storm can feel so strange, foreign like you’ve built your whole life around surviving & then suddenly there’s nothing left to fight. I’ve felt that emptiness too & it really is the soil of becoming. shadow work teaches us how to meet our pain, but light work asks us to remember how to live again🖤

After the chaos went quiet, I kept circling the wreckage like it still needed me. Peace felt unsafe. The real edge now is building a life that doesn’t require an emergency to feel alive. Light work, for me, is unlearning crisis and letting ordinary joy count.

I appreciate this post so much! 💜 I’ve been doing the shadow work for about a year now, and I am so aware of my patterns, but feel like I’m in this limbo. I make the changes and I see now that I’m gravitating towards light work- but haven’t been knowing how to navigate. Thank you for helping me on my journey!

Thank you 🙏

My journey of shadow work began 8 years ago. WOW, what an amazing journey of healing. Recently, I have found myself trying to force more shadow work, trying to dig up something to be able to work with my shadow more. I've been so frustrated. This is the message I needed. Now, I understand how to proceed. Light work! Thank you and I can't wait for your next journal 💓

I fully connected to this post. I very much feel like this is where I am. I want to help other women navigate the landscape of rebuilding. With all its messy, wonderful bits! Thank you for this.
