Two years ago today, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and hospitalized for suicidal ideation. Two years later, I sit in deep gratitude for this experience and all that it has taught me. I am grateful for my experience of madness and insanity, and I am grateful that my intuition has helped me to see the bigger picture of these often misunderstood experiences. My madness was a breaking open and a breaking through, it was the beginning of my initiate's journey and my dark night of the soul. Now, as I prepare to close the container of my initiation, I am in awe of this journey and all that it has held. This episode is reflective, and includes more storytelling than usual, as I update you on my initiation, what these past seven months have held for me, and how I am emerging from this cocoon.
