Sometimes in the healing journey, we shed layers of ego — maybe that was there to protect us but no longer serves us — much like an onion to get to the core of who we are. If it were all at once, it likely would have been unbearable. My experience of this has been very physical — a feeling like dying, quite literally. I imagine this is what it feels like to have a hospice diagnosis. Although I know this is just my ego and neurological system adjusting, it is still very uncomfortable and challenging to trust the process.

As intense as these are, I know that so much more is opened once through the other side. Grateful to have incredible, patient, loving people in my life. I wish that for each of you on the shedding journey.

It’s worthwhile 🧅🤍🌀
