"The dark nights, the dark times do not come to break you. The dark nights and the dark times do not come to bury you. They come to force you to access your own inner light .” 

In this week’s episode of the Soul Talk podcast, I dive into a powerful message of hope and healing during times of crisis. With the devastating fires currently sweeping through Los Angeles, I felt compelled to speak directly to those affected whether you’ve lost your home, your possessions, or even loved ones. I want to remind you that while nothing I say can erase the pain, I’m sending you my love, prayers, and positive energy as you navigate this incredibly challenging time.

I reflect on the fragile nature of life and how, in the blink of an eye, everything can change. The fires burning in Los Angeles have brought to light just how quickly life can turn upside down, but amid these dark moments, there’s a reminder of the power we all have to find light within. I talk about the importance of grieving the losses we face whether it’s a home, a dream, or a vision of what life was supposed to be, and why it’s crucial to allow yourself the space to process and heal. Grief moves in stages and layers, and we must permit ourselves to feel every emotion fully to move through it.

Through this episode, I share how our darkest times can be the catalyst for discovering our true strength and power.

Listen to this episode and learn how to navigate difficult moments with courage, trust, and faith that you will rise again.
