Not every difficult season is a setback. Some are invitations.

In this episode, we walk through the terrain that often follows expansion — fatigue, frustration, emotional loops, and the quiet question: why is this still here?

Rather than treating these moments as failure, we explore them as signposts — markers pointing toward integration rather than transcendence.

Together we move through:

• Stress and shadow as integration signals

• The pleasure–pain cycle and its hidden teaching

• Why “doing the work” doesn’t remove friction

• Homesickness for coherence

• Living insight instead of chasing it

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about recognising what your system is already asking for. Integration isn’t glamorous. But it is stabilising.
