In this short episode, I open up about what feels like a spiritual drought—those seasons when my once-vivid sense of connection and expansion feels distant. Reading from a recent journal entry, I wrestle with the tendency to judge where I am now against past mountaintop moments and the longing to return to a state of clarity and divine encounters.

Using the metaphor of trees and their seasonal cycles, I explore the importance of honoring times of dormancy, trusting that even in stillness, the roots are deepening. I reflect on my own habit of chasing spiritual highs, the need for integration, and the necessity of embracing the full spectrum of emotions.

This episode is an invitation to release self-judgment, lean into trust, and recognize that growth is happening, even when it’s unseen. If you’re navigating your own spiritual winter, I hope this perspective brings you reassurance that the seasons always turn, and the harvest will come again.
