Lately, people have been asking me what's going on. 

Why are they feeling lost, and is their life and world coming apart in some way?

Many people I talk to tell me they are going through changes, and experiences and situations arise that they don't understand.  

Some of the common symptoms are:

• Plans fall apart, and they don't know what to do next.
• They have lost all motivation and simply don't feel like doing anything… except maybe sleep.
• So many things are changing in a short period of time (views, beliefs, desires, needs/wants, and their sense of identity and where they fit in now).
• Feeling unfulfilled, or noticing a subtle (or not so subtle) overall dissatisfaction with their life, relationships, and career.
• Tired all the time.
• No longer finding enjoyment in things that they used to like.
• Not knowing what they really want now, or what they could do to make them feel better.
• Mind constantly churning, trying to process everything, which leads to mental, physical, and spiritual exhaustion and overwhelm.
• Feeling they lost their North Star to navigate by, or lost their sense of purpose or direction.
• Unsure of how to navigate this crumbling reality.

While there may be several reasons for what is going on, my guidance tells me that many people are awakening and shedding the old, outdated parts of themselves as well as dealing with the shadow aspects that are asking to be acknowledged and healed.

This is a period of internal change. If one or more of these are going on in your life, you may be sitting in the Void.

If you are moving through a Dark Night of the Soul, you will spend time in the void.

You are not alone. Many of us are in various stages of sitting in the Void right now. Be patient, kind, and gentle with yourself.

The void isn’t to be feared… or rushed.

For those of you who do the inner work and shadow work, you will find yourself in the Void from time to time. It's OK.

It's part of the shedding and integration process we go through as we change, grow, and evolve.

It often accompanies the end stages of a Dark Night of the Soul. There is no bypass road.

You are in that goopy caterpillar-in-the-chrysalis stage.

Be with it. You are becoming more of your true self.

Think of this as a cocoon of becoming. Like the caterpillar’s chrysalis, you are in the process of shedding the old and becoming the new, integrating your shadow.

You can’t bypass the Void.

Resisting the Void prolongs this period of not knowing and feeling disconnected.

You are not disconnected from your true self.

You are disconnecting, unplugging, dismantling, and releasing all the not-you pieces of your persona.

Be in and with the void. Surrender to it, and allow its magic to embrace you.

The Void

The void is like an incubator for your being.

Do not fear or try to rush the process.

It is a place of not knowing and becoming.

Rest. Acknowledge and integrate the shadow parts of you.

Surrender to The Void, and allow its magic to embrace you.

The energy of 2025’s Universal 9-year embraces and supports the void.

The void is an aspect of the 9-vibration. This year is really "poking the bear." 

Even if you are no stranger to doing inner and shadow work, different, deeper stuff is now coming up.

Reassess, release, reintegrate, rest.

Some Void Navigation Tips

1) A simple yet not easy practice for this time is to stop judging everything, and especially yourself.

Play with having a no-judgment zone. See things from a different perspective.

2) Another of my favorite tools is "What if this is happening for me, not to me? What might that blessing be?"

3) Become comfortable with not knowing. Allow yourself to feel uncomfortable, like a fish out of water.

Keep reminding yourself that you are OK. This, too, shall pass.

4) Be willing to go deeper than ever before. See the new aspects of that wound, belief, Shadow element that wishes to be recognized, acknowledged, and processed.

Being in the Void is alien to most people. It’s like you’ve lost your sense of direction, sense of self, and have no compass to guide you.

We're often conditioned to be doing things, setting goals, making plans, rushing to some non-existent finish line.

When a business, job, relationship, or life as you knew it stalls, many feel disconnected.

When the old ways of doing things no longer yield the same results, many people feel discouraged.

The reality is you're reconnecting to you and your Being.

It is a coming-home-to-self process, but can be quite disconcerting.

I’ve gone through this multiple times.

It’s part of stripping away all the things you thought you were and discovering who you truly are.

I think I go through a version of this every few years. The deepest one in recent years was the long, dark night of the soul after my mom died in 2018.

If you'd like assistance with navigating the Void, I invite you to consider scheduling a session with me.

Be still, listen to the whispers of your higher self and your body, and allow the journey to unfold.

Only from a place of presence and "the now" can real change be made.

Sending everyone going through this lots of love. You got this!

 With deep appreciation for you,
