Episode 5: When Life Feels Like It’s Falling Apart

Have you ever felt like everything in your life is unraveling — like things are getting worse instead of better? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. In this episode, Lisa explores one of the most disorienting experiences on the spiritual journey: the Stirring phase.

During the Stirring, old patterns, unresolved emotions, and buried memories rise to the surface. Life can feel chaotic, emotionally overwhelming, or even frightening. Many of us ask ourselves, “Did I do something wrong? Should I stick this out?” These are normal responses to a powerful inner transformation, and this episode helps you understand why this phase happens, what it really means, and how to navigate it with clarity and compassion.

Lisa also shares her own reflections on this transformative phase, and explains why the Stirring was so significant that it became the subject of her first book, The Stirring. You’ll gain insight into how to observe the turbulence without judgment, ground yourself in presence, and recognize that falling apart can actually be a sign that transformation is underway.

Whether you’ve been following the podcast or are just discovering it, this episode offers validation, guidance, and reassurance for anyone navigating life’s upheavals on the spiritual path. Falling apart doesn’t mean falling away — it means change is happening beneath the surface, and you’re exactly where you need to be.
