DEPTH Work: A Holistic Mental Health Podcast

10. The Fertile Void: Navigating Confusion, Lostness, and Emptiness


Listen Later

The "fertile void" is the concept that moments in life marked by massive transitions, emptiness, lostness, and confusion can also be moments of pure magic and possibility. In fact, feeling confused in areas of life can be a really healthy and wonderful sign that there's so much more waiting for us. We need moments of rest, visioning, and recalibration in order to move forward in integrity. In this episode I discuss lessons I've learned from engaging in "the fertile void" and how to navigate lostness and confusion.
