A quick heads-up: Hey friends, parts of the audio get a little rough or distorted since I recorded this on a late-night walk with my phone. Stick with it. The heart of the episode comes through just fine if you're willing to hear it.

On this walk, I found myself naming something I’ve tried to avoid most of my life: the cocoon stage. The in-between. The uncomfortable middle where nothing feels clear yet everything is being rewired on the inside.

I talk about why I’ve started to see my own “suffering seasons” as beautiful, not because they’re easy, but because they form me in ways comfort never could. I share how judgment kept me blind, how dualistic thinking pulled me out of the present moment, and how Jesus keeps inviting me to a deeper, richer way of seeing reality.

This episode is me processing out loud what it means to wake up, to renew my mind, to stop clinging to old scripts, and to trust that something sacred is happening even when life feels confusing. If you’re in a hard chapter right now, this is a reminder that you’re not failing. You’re transforming.
