## Resource

From struggle to stillness. In this episode, I share the story of my recent awakening — what actually happened, how it felt, and what’s shifted since. It followed years of inner work, self-inquiry, and emotional processing, but the moment itself came unexpectedly during a retreat. There was a clear seeing that the sense of separation is an illusion — and with that, a deep peace, simplicity and humour. I talk about the build-up, the walking meditation that cracked it open, and how things have settled in the weeks since.
