In this episode of Let's Unpack, we take a deep dive into the spiritual concept of "The Dark Night of the Soul," a term coined by the 16th-century mystic St. John of the Cross. We explore the emotional and spiritual challenges that arise during times of profound transformation — the disorientation, isolation, and inner turmoil — and how these moments can lead to a deeper connection with the divine and a more enlightened sense of self.

Drawing from St. John's teachings, we unpack the themes of purification, ego surrender, and the journey toward spiritual rebirth. Whether you're going through a personal crisis or simply curious about the transformative power of suffering, this episode offers valuable insights into navigating the darkness.

But it's not all deep introspection — we also lighten the mood by sharing our personal "Mount Rushmore" of comfort movies. From classic feel-good favorites to nostalgic films that help us through tough times, we discuss the movies that provide comfort and healing when life gets tough.

Join us for an episode that blends spiritual reflection with a touch of levity, as we unpack both the shadows and the light.
