Rising From Shame

This Too Shall Pass


Listen Later

Circumstances change. Seasons of life rise and fall. And sometimes when we’re in the middle of challenging times, or a painful moment, it can feel like it will never pass. This episode is a gentle reminder of the truth of impermanence—that whatever you are facing right now is not the whole story of who you are, and it will not last forever.
When our minds are loud with fear, shame, or despair, they can convince us that something is wrong with us—that we are broken. But the deeper truth is that beneath the noise of the mind, your core self remains whole, divine, and complete. Nothing that is happening in your circumstances can take that away.
In this episode, I share reflections on caring for ourselves during difficult seasons and remembering our inherent worth even when life feels uncertain. It’s an invitation to pause, nurture yourself, and soften toward whatever you are experiencing.
I also reflect on teachings from Eckhart Tolle about not overvaluing our circumstances, and the wisdom he offers: “Beyond happiness and unhappiness there is peace.” When we stop attaching our identity to what is happening around us, we reconnect with the quiet steadiness that lives within.
These teachings remind me of my father's favorite saying: This Too Shall Pass. To him this meant that, In times of prosperity, we remain humble, and In times of despair, to have and feed hope.
If you are going through a difficult chapter right now, this episode is for you. A reminder that circumstances pass, that you are not broken, and that peace is always closer than the mind would have us believe.
This week, let’s practice not overvaluing our circumstances—and instead remembering who we truly are beneath them.
