Things Fall Apart: The Wisdom of Collapse, Grief Magic, and the 9 of Swords


Listen Later

What if crashing out is exactly what your soul needs to transform?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener explores the Nine of Swords, one of the tarot’s most intense cards of collapse, grief, shadow work, and transformation. If you’re navigating grief, facing an identity shift, or feeling like you’ve hit rock bottom, this conversation will help you reframe what it means to be in the “crash out” moment.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why grief and collapse can be portals to spiritual growth
  • How the Nine of Swords reveals what is no longer sustainable
  • Why identity dissolves in the wake of trauma healing—and what comes after
  • How to work with ego death, shame, and shadow during rock bottom
  • The collective and personal implications of unprocessed grief

This episode is a compassionate guide for anyone moving through crisis, deep grief, or major life change — offering permission to pause, process, and allow transformation to unfold.
