Episode Description
- In this episode I explore why modern life so often feels empty — the burnout, numbness, anxiety, and quiet loss of meaning that many of us carry despite full calendars and constant connection. If you’ve ever felt strangely hollow despite doing all the “right” things, this episode names what’s really happening beneath the surface and why the ancient idea of soul sickness helps explain our modern meaning crisis. You’ll gain compassion for yourself and others, plus a clearer path toward reconnection. By the end you’ll understand why this wisdom feels so relevant right now. Welcome to the second part of our three-episode series.
