Stories are how we humans evolve and pass on our experience and wisdom.

And stories that encompass the complex reality of being a human on Earth help us feel less alone and more capable of navigating moments of personal crisis.

This Advent season, let yourself be enchanted and inspired by the story of Inanna's Descent into the Underworld, which is a powerful reminder that the dark times are necessary and an inherent part of Life.

In this episode, I dive into:

- The story of Inanna's Descent into the Underworld

- What it can teach you about how to navigate a personal moment of crisis with more compassion towards yourself

- The fact that as a (cis-/trans)woman or non-binary menstruator you go through a powerful death and rebirth process every month

- How the planet Venus' journey may have inspired the story
