There are moments in life when the ground shifts beneath us—moments that ask us to release who we have been and surrender to who we are becoming.In this conversation with Christine Eck, we explore these initiatory thresholds: the postpartum window, identity shifts, creative rebirth, and the deeply human experience of meeting ourselves in the dark.Whether it’s the identity rupture of new parenthood, a dream dissolving, a relationship shifting, or a calling echoing from somewhere you can’t yet see, these moments feel like freefall. They feel like failure. They feel like we are being unmade.And yet—they feel like that because it is a death.And it is also the beginning of a profound becoming.The only way out is through.The gift is at the bottom.And you cannot effort your way into becoming—you can only surrender into it.Enjoy this episode. And tune in next week for part two. we discuss —The beauty in the bottom of the chasmLaying down our fear of failureCaregiving as witnessing, not rescuingThe quiet tools that carry us through initiationsWhy we don’t walk alone LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —The Transformative Power of Desire & Devotion w—Erin KelleyBusiness as Initiation, grace on an episode of Off the Grid More about our guest —www.sacredwindowstudies.comIG @sacredwindowstudiesFB @AyurvedaForPostpartumSacred Window PodcastSacred Window Blog Free Resources —Receive the 3 keys that unlocked every major Initiation in my life.

Today I’m sharing my second conversation with writer and astrologer Erin Kelley.We tell our personal (and planetary) stories of loss, seduction, codependency, and people-pleasing — as we explore how mid-life transits can become portals to authentic intimacy.We also discuss Erin's Slow Magick practice and how to change your life in sacred time. As soon as I started to do the deep work… it changed how I was in my relationships. Once I was able to show up in a different way and be intimate in a whole new experience — that freedom of expression showed me how: “Oh no sweetie, you weren’t just codependent in your romantic relationships. That shit was everywhere.” — Erin Kelley we discuss —the power of a second actmid-life transits as portals for transformationending cycles of Self-abandonmentstarting over after loss of love, job, money, everythingNeptune’s illusions and delusionsthe tension between the 1st house of Self and the 7th house of Otherreleasing codependence and people-pleasingwhat committed partnership really meansthe devotional practice of Slow Magickthe pleasure of stepping into the Moment  LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —R.I.P.
