Without further ado, let's dive into today's episode. Today we are talking about the concept of loneliness and in a way we're actually going to be diving into the concept of spiritual loneliness. So if you recently in your life you've been feeling like

you're just being isolated in a sense, you're losing friendships, opportunities or plans are just falling apart and you find yourself in this gap, in this transitional period, then you have clicked on the right episode because today we're going to dive into it, decipher it, and I'm going to give you all the tools and mindset shifts that you need to feel empowered after listening to this episode. So I want to start off by sharing a little bit about my life.

So when I had started my spiritual path, my spiritual journey, I don't know why I don't like saying that because I feel like we're all always on a spiritual journey even if we're unaware to it, like we're all souls having a human experience. But when I started really raising my consciousness and straying away from the victim mindset, from disconnecting to my source, to my self-worth and I started really to work deeply on myself,

I had found myself in a major isolation period and a major metamorphosis where I had lost most of my friends, a relationship ended, I was questioning so many things about my life, about my future, about my personal belief systems, and I had found myself really being alone. Like completely isolated from most people and not like that I was like in a cave never speaking to anybody, but in a sense where...

The universe literally came in and removed everyone from my life that wasn't able to grow with me. I had grown a lot of old people, old environments, and I had found myself spending a lot of time in solitude, a lot of time by myself. And I remember those first year and two years, I was going to the beach like every week with a journal to see my sunset and I was doing a lot of shadow work at the time in my life and

It's funny because I'm looking over now at my desk and I see this like clay sculpture that I was actually visiting my grandmother's house and I was looking through her attic and

And I had found this old like butterfly clay sculpture thing that I created when I was probably in the first grade. And it's so interesting because if you were doing my 21 day manifestation challenge, we were talking in the group chat a lot about how all of us were seeing butterflies all the time. And butterflies signify change, transition, transformation, transformation.

And so right after that challenge ended, I had found this butterfly sculpture that my inner child had created and I'm now looking over at it and I feel like it's like this constant reminder of what we're going to be talking about today, about the transition of self, about metamorphosis, about isolation, about spending time by yourself. And so...

Where I was going with this story of sharing a little bit about my life is that if right now you are in a period in your life where you're finding yourself

Spending a lot of time alone, like maybe a lot of plans are falling through, you're losing certain relationships or friendships, and you find yourself wanting to fill that gap, like make more plans, reach out to more people, push and push energy, that masculine forceful energy all the time. I actually want to invite you to surrender to the gap.

and to surrender to this moment and this phase in your life. Because what I have learned, and honestly, if I'm being completely honest, I'm going again five years later through the same period of isolation where, again, it's not like literal isolation where you're in a cave and you're not speaking to anyone, but it's

Going in this place where you have outgrown a lot of old ways. And maybe it's not even people. It's like old ways that you have been operating your life. And you're kind of doing this cleansing and this metamorphosis. And so you find yourself feeling lonely. And you find yourself feeling isolated. And I just want to say that if you are going through that phase in your life right now, bless it. Bless it.

because you are about to prosper into a higher, even more abundant version of yourself that you've never met before. And the universe isolates you for a reason. So if you're in a phase in your life right now where you feel a bit isolated, you feel like things are very slow, this is an opportunity for you. So don't try to fill the space where...

with over simulations, with constant distractions, with constantly reaching out to people, I actually want to challenge you to enjoy the in-between and to bless this period of your life and to bless the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Because if you're ever given an opportunity in your life where things are suddenly slowing down outside of you,

It's actually a massive opportunity and a massive gesture from the universe to go more inward, to reconnect with yourself, to reconnect with your spirit, to reconnect with your soul.

And again, the human experience isn't linear. There's ups and downs. So we have phases in our lives where we're very busy. There's a lot going on around us. We're traveling, things with our work. We're in a new relationship. We're dating. We're meeting new friends. And then there are phases in life that are equally as pivotal and as important where things are slow, when things are a little boring per se, where things aren't going as smoothly as envisioned.

And this phase in your life

is the one that's laying the foundation and preparing you for the phase of prospering and leveling up and all of those good external sources coming in. But for those things to happen, there has to be also a phase where you're actually being more introspective and you're being isolated in a way. The universe often isolates us so that we can reconnect to our soul and find our purpose.

So right now on the external world, it may seem like you've lost friendships or relationships or things are falling apart and nothing is flowing, but fundamentally,

finding your path and reconnecting to your purpose and your soul is where the true treasure is and that's where you find so much solace and so much fulfillment. So if you're feeling lonely right now or you even just feel like this is a period that you're resisting, you are in this go-go energy and nothing is really flowing for you, instead of pushing harder, instead of holding on more, try to surrender.

Because surrendering to the universe is very different than giving up, okay?

It just means that in this moment right now, you're choosing to be present in the space of the in-between. It means that you're releasing the expectations around how things should be, how things should happen, where you should be because you know that there's a higher power that knows something a lot better for you than you know for yourself. I truly believe that one of the main reasons we have phases in our lives where the universe isolates us

is because it is giving us a chance and an opportunity to connect deeply to our purpose. So this can manifest in a lot of different ways. This can manifest as you losing certain friendships, as you really want a relationship and that person is just not coming in.

As you wanting to start something new, move an apartment, and it's just like not flowing. It's because the universe right now doesn't want you to have too many outside distractions. It actually wants you to go inwards. It wants you to get clear on your purpose, on your calling, on your passions. Because what happens in our day-to-day life is often we get disconnected from that.

And so often the universe isolates us so that we can better understand ourselves and better understand our soul and our spirit and what we're truly here for. But if there's so many distractions outside of us, then our soul doesn't feel the space and we don't feel the calling to go inward. And that's why this phase in your life is equally as important because it lays the foundation for the other phases where you can prosper and enjoy and reap the benefits that you have sowed.

Also, I truly believe that sometimes the universe isolates us for the purpose of giving us an opportunity to do more inner work before we enter the next chapter. So don't look at this as a phase of punishment. Look at this as preparation. So I honestly look back at storybooks.

So many periods in my life where I was isolated and I feel so grateful for those moments in my life because I had learned so much more about myself, about my goals, about my dreams, and sometimes it was even protection. It was protection for things that were not meant for me. So you have to look at this phase in your life as preparation.

Maybe you don't understand why things aren't aligning for you right now, but the universe does. The universe does. So I really want to invite you to use this hermit mode per se in your life as an opportunity.

Get to know yourself. What are some projects, for instance, that you've been putting off for a really long time? It could be big or small. They could have to do with your business or with your passions or with your sidekicks. But what have you been putting off that you haven't had time for that now in the space, in the gap, in the isolation period, you've been given a platter of time? Where are some things that you haven't been pouring your energy on that you can start pouring your energy that have to do with you?

You have been given an opportunity to dive deeper inside of yourself because at the end of the day, everyone and everything is you pushed out. So when you are given an opportunity to do inner work, it is only because you can lay the foundation, set the base for things outside of you to shift to.

This chapter in your life is calling you to dive deeper, to know yourself on a deeper level, and to surrender. And one of the most comforting realizations that I always look back to whenever I feel a sense of loneliness and I feel like I'm all alone is, first of all, you are never alone. You are always supported by the universe and

And also thinking back to how special this exact moment is and how many things had to align for you to even be a human on this earth. And the fact that we are like 93% stardust, we have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, nitrogen in our brains, like

Our souls are just made of stars and flames and that is something that is so special and something that I always look back on. So if you ever feel alone, just remember that you have so much around you, so much love around you and there's trillions of cells inside of your body working for you, loving you and there's the universe conspiring in your favor and

So even if it feels like everyone around you is you're alone and you're isolated, that's never the case. You are never alone. So just remember this as you continue to move through this period in your life.

Use this as an opportunity for growth because I can guarantee you that a future version of you, whether that be in a couple weeks or in a few months, is going to look back at this exact phase in your life and they're going to realize why they had this phase, why they felt this way, why these things came up to surface because they had helped you become the version that you are today. So bless the space, bless the metamorphosis, bless the in-between because it's all part of the greater scheme of things.

Beautiful souls, thank you so much for joining me in today's episode. As always, I will talk to you next week. Bye!
