      From Breakdown to Breakthrough – the Dark Night of the Soul

      Oh yes, I’ve been there.

      I’m not sure if you are experiencing this, or if your experience feels the same, but let me share mine.

      I was completely stuck.
      No motivation, no inspiration, nothing seemed to work.
      Everything felt off, like I was living a life that didn’t belong to me.
      I was in survival mode, just going through the motions.
      No spark, no direction, and no real connection to anyone — not even my guides or higher self. If they were there, they were radio silent.

      Then came the breaking point.
      I hit a wall so hard I actually thought, “If this is life… I don’t want it.”
      It felt like there were only two options: collapse or change.
      So I did what many of us do in a moment of crisis — I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through YouTube, hoping something would help.
      That’s when I stumbled across Aaron Doughty’s videos.

      Something inside me lit up. It wasn’t just a random video — it resonated.
      I binged his content like it was spiritual Netflix, and honestly, within 30 days, things began to shift.

      If you’re moving through a Dark Night of the Soul, this is from my heart to yours:
      What you’re experiencing isn’t a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.
      You’re awakening.
      The old layers — the beliefs, masks, fears, illusions — they’re falling away.
      This is a total shift in frequency, and yeah, it can feel like your world is falling apart.
      But that’s only because something much truer is trying to emerge.

      Here’s what helped me, and might help you too:

      🎧 Feed your mind with empowering content.
      Focus on spiritual growth, shadow work, inner child healing, identity shifts. Aaron’s teachings are amazing — stick to one source for now to avoid overwhelm.
      🧘 Create a daily ritual.
      Meditate. Watch one video. Practice a new tool. Keep it simple, but consistent.
      💔 Let the emotions come through.
      Don’t bottle it up. Cry, journal, move, scream into a pillow. Emotions are here to be felt and released.
      🌱 Keep things grounded.
      Eat well, sleep deeply, hydrate often, and move your body. Walk barefoot. Hug a tree. Seriously. Nature is legit magic.
      📴 Protect your energy.
      Cut out fear-based media, toxic people, and anything that drains your spirit.
      📓 Listen within.
      Journal. Ask your heart or higher self, “What do I need right now?” Then trust what comes.
      💫 Stay with the process.
      Yes, it’s intense. But you are not being destroyed — you’re being remade in truth.

      This is a rebirth. Be gentle. Go slow.
      You’re not behind — you’re becoming.
      And when you come through it, you won’t just survive.

      You’ll rise — more aligned, more authentic, more you than ever before.

      ✨ You’ve got this. And you’re absolutely not alone.

      Heart
