Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a journey of reflection, practice, and transformation with Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and consultant.

In this episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood phases in any process of awakening: the moment when life falls apart so that something deeper can emerge.

What if pain isn’t a punishment… but an initiation?
What if your exhaustion, confusion, or loss of direction isn’t a breakdown — but a signal that your old identity no longer fits?

✨ “The soul speaks through symptoms when the mind refuses to listen.”

Through stories, insight, and a gentle guided reflection, Elisabeth invites you to see crisis as a threshold — not as failure, but as transformation in progress.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll explore:
• Why not all suffering is pathology — and how to tell the difference
• The hidden wisdom of “spiritual crisis” and how it leads to growth
• How to move from fear to curiosity when life feels uncertain
• A short journaling practice to help you reconnect with meaning

My book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released in 2026.
