Have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend ten days in complete silence, meditating for hours on end? In this episode, I take you inside my journey at a Vipassana meditation retreat—an experience I was intuitively guided to embark on.

From the challenge of sitting with deep emotional discomfort to profound realizations about my relationships, wounds, and shadow work, this retreat brought up everything I needed to see. I faced moments of deep grounding and presence, but also moments where I felt like I might explode from the intensity of it all. Through it, I learned how to be with myself in a way I never had before—sitting with anger, surrendering to stillness, and discovering what lies beyond resistance.

Join me as I share my personal experiences, reflections, and the biggest takeaways from this journey. Whether you’re curious about Vipassana, struggling with sitting in discomfort, or exploring your own healing path, this episode offers raw insights into what happens when we remove all distractions and meet ourselves fully.
