Navigating the Dark Night of the Soul

Have you ever felt disconnected from your spiritual path, as if no amount of prayer, meditation, or seeking could bring you closer to God, source, or the universe? That experience may be what’s called the Dark Night of the Soul—a profound, sometimes unsettling part of the awakening phase on your spiritual journey.

In this episode, we explore what the Dark Night is, why it happens, and why it can feel like it’s happening to you without choice. Not everyone experiences it, but for those who do, it serves a deeply transformative purpose. We’ll talk about the signs, the inner shifts, and how this phase is actually preparing you for alignment, clarity, and deeper connection with your soul’s purpose.

You’ll also hear practical tools to navigate this challenging period, including presence, journaling, meditation, and the power of noticing, listening, and releasing without judgment. Whether you’re in the middle of this experience or simply curious about it, this episode provides insight, guidance, and reassurance.

By the end, you’ll understand why the Dark Night is not a punishment, but a sacred threshold that leads to awakening, realignment, and the natural flow of life.

Tune in and learn how to move through the Dark Night with awareness, trust, and purpose.

Episode 5: When Life Feels Like It’s Falling Apart

Have you ever felt like everything in your life is unraveling — like things are getting worse instead of better? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. In this episode, Lisa explores one of the most disorienting experiences on the spiritual journey: the Stirring phase.

During the Stirring, old patterns, unresolved emotions, and buried memories rise to the surface. Life can feel chaotic, emotionally overwhelming, or even frightening. Many of us ask ourselves, “Did I do something wrong? Should I stick this out?” These are normal responses to a powerful inner transformation, and this episode helps you understand why this phase happens, what it really means, and how to navigate it with clarity and compassion.

Lisa also shares her own reflections on this transformative phase, and explains why the Stirring was so significant that it became the subject of her first book, The Stirring. You’ll gain insight into how to observe the turbulence without judgment, ground yourself in presence, and recognize that falling apart can actually be a sign that transformation is underway.

Whether you’ve been following the podcast or are just discovering it, this episode offers validation, guidance, and reassurance for anyone navigating life’s upheavals on the spiritual path. Falling apart doesn’t mean falling away — it means change is happening beneath the surface, and you’re exactly where you need to be.

Episode 4: Why You Feel Empty and Want More

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life, even when everything seems fine on the outside? That quiet feeling of emptiness, that subtle tug toward “more,” is something many of us experience but rarely talk about. In this episode of Soul Current, we dive into the stirring — the phase that follows the initial sense of restlessness (what I call pre-stirring) — when your awareness stops being passive and starts to move.

During the stirring, memories, emotions, and experiences that you’ve buried for years begin to rise to the surface. Grief, shame, embarrassment, and regret — even moments you thought you had already healed — may resurface unexpectedly. This can feel unsettling, but it’s a natural and essential part of your spiritual journey.

We talk about what the stirring is — and what it isn’t. You’re not expected to fix your emotions, change your thoughts, or analyze why things come up. The goal is simple: notice what arises, feel it in your body, and allow it to be there without judgment. By doing this, you stop pushing down what’s inside and give your inner system a chance to reorganize naturally, helping you move toward stability and alignment.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize the stirring, understand why old feelings and buried memories appear, and know how to respond in a way that’s gentle and grounding. Whether it’s grief from loss, shame from past mistakes, or emotions you’ve been avoiding, the stirring gives you the opportunity to face what’s inside with awareness and compassion.

If you’ve been feeling hollow, restless, or like life should be more than it feels right now, this episode will help you understand what’s happening inside you and why it matters — without feeling pressured to fix or change anything. You’ll walk away with clarity, reassurance, and a simple practice for noticing and allowing your inner world to surface safely.
