Anné ["Anna"] Klint is a spiritual rebel who refuses to play by anyone else's rules—including her own from yesterday. As an energy worker and psycho-spiritual insurrectionist, Anné's work is a love letter to women who are absolutely done with playing small. She's here for the midlife mystics who are sick of hiding their soul gifts, tired of prioritizing everyone else's comfort over their own truth, and ready to become so ungovernable in their self-love that they accidentally start a revolution. Liberation is your birthright!I first connected with Anné a few years ago when she invited me to be part of an online summit she was hosting. We hit it off, and last year we started teaching together, in Santa Fe and online, and we've become good friends in the process. Anné has a lot of wisdom to share, based on her own experience of navigating the dark night of the soul. She's now on her third tour through the underworld, and she offers some very useful advice for these times, as all of us are now experiencing a collective dark night of the soul. We talked about:* The personal crisis that catalyzed Anné's transition from artist to soul guide and healer;* The dark night's mandate to kill off old versions of self and old ways of living;* What it looks like to surrender to the process vs. coping and resisting;* The collective dark night and the opportunity to open to greater power and possibility;* Navigational guidance for the dark night - starting with radical curiosity;* The power of dis-identifying with what we think we know and who we think we are;* The gifts on the other side of the dark night, when we're willing to face the pain;* And much more!Find out more about Anné's work:* main site: AnneMKlint.com * Anné on Substack: The Love and Liberation Diaries* Receive a free 10-day self-compassion challenge: SelfCompassion.rocksJoin Anné and me in Santa Fe for a women's mini-retreat!

The dark night of the soul is one of the most misunderstood yet essential stages of spiritual awakening.

This is the most personal, raw, and vulnerable solo I've recorded in a long time—because life has been… a lot. In this episode, I share what's really been going on behind the scenes: my divorce, the most intense love I've ever experienced (and the heartbreak that followed) after the divorce, family estrangement, spirals of loneliness, and what it means to reclaim safety when every structure you've leaned on is gone.I talk about emotional addiction, why I've committed to six months of no romantic relationships, and how I'm learning to turn toward the friendships and community I've built instead of defaulting to old trauma patterns.This episode is about survival, heartbreak, nervous system healing, and the daily practice of choosing connection in a healthier way.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 290The Saint of the day is Saint Mary Magdalene de PazziSaint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi's Story Mystical ecstasy is the elevation of the spirit to God in such a way that the person is aware of this union with God while both internal and external senses are detached from the sensible world. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi was so generously given this special gift of God that she is called the “ecstatic saint.” Catherine de' Pazzi was born into a noble family in Florence in 1566. The normal course would have been for her to have married into wealth and enjoyed comfort, but Catherine chose to follow her own path. At 9, she learned to meditate from the family confessor. She made her first Communion at the then-early age of 10, and made a vow of virginity one month later. At 16, Catherine entered the Carmelite convent in Florence because she could receive Communion daily there. Catherine had taken the name Mary Magdalene and had been a novice for a year when she became critically ill. Death seemed near, so her superiors let her make her profession of vows in a private ceremony from a cot in the chapel. Immediately after, Mary Magdalene fell into an ecstasy that lasted about two hours. This was repeated after Communion on the following 40 mornings. These ecstasies were rich experiences of union with God and contained marvelous insights into divine truths. As a safeguard against deception and to preserve the revelations, her confessor asked Mary Magdalene to dictate her experiences to sister secretaries. Over the next six years, five large volumes were filled. The first three books record ecstasies from May of 1584 through Pentecost week the following year. This week was a preparation for a severe five-year trial. The fourth book records that trial and the fifth is a collection of letters concerning reform and renewal. Another book, Admonitions, is a collection of her sayings arising from her experiences in the formation of women religious. The extraordinary was ordinary for this saint. She read the thoughts of others and predicted future events. During her lifetime, Mary Magdalene appeared to several persons in distant places and cured a number of sick people. It would be easy to dwell on the ecstasies and pretend that Mary Magdalene only had spiritual highs. This is far from true. It seems that God permitted her this special closeness to prepare her for the five years of desolation that followed when she experienced spiritual dryness. She was plunged into a state of darkness in which she saw nothing but what was horrible in herself and all around her. She had violent temptations and endured great physical suffering. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi died in 1607 at age 41, and was canonized in 1669. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on May 25. Reflection Intimate union, God's gift to mystics, is a reminder to all of us of the eternal happiness of union he wishes to give us. The cause of mystical ecstasy in this life is the Holy Spirit, working through spiritual gifts. The ecstasy occurs because of the weakness of the body and its powers to withstand the divine illumination, but as the body is purified and strengthened, ecstasy no longer occurs. See Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, and John of the Cross' Dark Night of the Soul, for more about various aspects of ecstasies. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

"You feel it. A longing. A restlessness. A hunger for something more. What if that ache isn't random? What if it's an invitation?"Welcome to The Ache, a podcast exploring the deep longings within us and how prayer meets us in those sacred places. In Week 5: The Ache for Grace, we explore one of the most difficult, yet transformative, truths: prayer isn't about getting what we want—it's about becoming who God is shaping us to be.We look at Paul's plea for relief from his “thorn,” and how God's answer was not escape, but grace. We remember Jesus in Gethsemane, asking for another way, yet surrendering fully to the Father's will. And we reflect on the Dark Night of the Soul—those seasons when God feels distant, but is still present and working in unseen ways.This week, respond by praying honestly about your struggles, but end with the words: "Not my will, but Yours be done."Subscribe now to explore how answering The Ache with surrender leads to grace, growth, and a deeper encounter with God.Are you willing to trust Him, even when the answer is silence?

I'm joined by the brilliant and beautifully honest Dr. Heather Thompson Day for a conversation on spiritual wrestling. Heather's latest book, What If I'm Wrong? Navigating the Waves of Fear and Failure explores what happens when the faith you once relied on starts to unravel. Heather shares openly about her father's battle with Alzheimer's, the spiritual crisis it triggered, and the years she spent in what she calls “spiritual drowning.” We talk about attachment, disappointment, failure, and the unexpected ways God shows up when everything else is falling apart. This conversation is a powerful example of how doubt and faith can co-exist. If you've ever wondered whether you're allowed to question your faith—or felt like you were losing your grip on God—this episode is for you. We explore: What happens when the God you believed in no longer matches your reality How therapy helped Heather not just psychologically but spiritually Why what feels like failure may be something deeper—and more redemptive The unexpected miracle Heather experienced at the end of her long season of doubt This isn't a story of tidy answers. It's a story of holding on, even when you're not sure what you're holding onto.

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

The conversation then shifts to the newly introduced “Hopeful Mysteries” of the Rosary, which reflect God's promises and presence in the Old Testament. This innovation, now approved for diocesan use, seeks to root believers in salvation history and offer fresh hope through contemplative prayer.In this episode:

Send us a textAfter a year-long hiatus, Get Uncomfortable is back! In this welcome-back episode, Shae dives deep into the personal struggles that led to a dark night of the soul, the hard lessons learned during a chaotic move to Florida, and why he chose to return to Nebraska for a fresh start.

In this deeply reflective episode, we explore how the solar plexus and throat chakras are affected during the Dark Night of the Soul. When identity fades and words disappear, these energy centers invite us into transformation. Discover what happens when personal power dims and the voice goes silent—and how, through spiritual surrender, they are reborn with greater authenticity and strength.In this episode, you'll learn:Why motivation and confidence often vanish in the Dark NightHow the solar plexus redefines power as sovereignty rather than controlWhat the silence of the throat chakra is trying to revealPractical tools to rekindle your inner fire and reclaim your voiceReal-world stories and spiritual metaphors to guide you through the darknessOpening music by Dan Michael

A Taste of Evil (1971), Snowbeast (1977), This House Possessed (1981) We're back on the small screen for our fourth dive into the world of made-for-TV horror—which should tell you something: we love these things. Maybe it's nostalgia from growing up in an era when you couldn't stream whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted. Or maybe it's because some of these films were just plain good—tight, creepy little stories that managed to leave a mark. This time around, we're not talking about the crown jewels of the genre, but rather three solid, middle-of-the-pack entries: well-made, weirdly memorable, and wildly watchable. You've got disturbed minds, ski lodge mayhem, and a haunted house that's a little too into you. If the stories don't grab you, the casts just might. Films mentioned in this episode: 1941 (1979), Abominable (2006), Alien (1979), Amityville Horror (1979), Asylum (1972), Beetlejuice (1988), Beyond the Door (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974), Butcher Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981), City of the Dead (1960), City Slickers (1991), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Don't be Afraid of the Dark (1973), Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981), Devil Dog: Hound of Hell (1978), The Devil's Daughter (1973), Double Indemnity (1944), Drag Me to Hell (2009), Duel (1971), Frankenstein: The True Story (1973), Halloween (1978), House by the Cemetery (1981), House that Wouldn't Die (1970), Horror of Dracula (1958), I, Desire (1982), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Jaws (1975), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Night of the Creeps (1986), The Night Stalker (1972), The Night Walker (1964), Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), Psycho (1960), Re-Animator (1985), Salem's Lot (1979), Satan's School for Girls (1973), Scream of Fear (1961), Shriek of the Mutilated (1974), Snowbeast (1977), Strange and Deadly Occurrence (1974), Suspiria (1977), A Taste of Evil (1971), Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962), This House of Possessed (1981), The Tingler (1959), Trilogy of Terror (1975), Videodrome (1983)

In this episode, Guy spoke with Aaron Abke and shared his profound journey from growing up as an evangelical Christian pastor's kid to experiencing a transformative spiritual awakening. He discussed the role of the nervous system in limiting consciousness and the significance of a Kundalini awakening in humanity's evolution. Aaron opened up about his personal dark night of the soul, his two-week experience of oneness, and his transition from a traditional religious upbringing to exploring Eastern spiritual traditions. He also dived into the importance of spiritual growth, the evolutionary densities of consciousness as described in the Law of One, and how these insights influenced his teachings and online academy, 4D University. Additionally, Aaron emphasized the powerful impact of individual spiritual growth on the collective consciousness and provides guidance on how to navigate and utilize current global challenges for personal and collective awakening. About Aaron: Aaron Abke went to Oral Roberts University and got a Degree in Music and Theology. After that, I took my first job as a pastor as I prepared to follow in my father's footsteps and pursue a career in ministry.

Life's most painful moments often carry the seeds of our deepest transformation. In this powerful episode, author and scholar Simon Haas joins Wisdom of the Sages to illuminate how the Bhagavad Gita frames personal crisis—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as an integral part of it. Known as Vishad Yoga, the yoga of crisis, this ancient wisdom reveals how despair can become a gateway to awakening. Through the lens of Arjuna's breakdown on the battlefield, Simon explains the four universal symptoms of a dark night of the soul: •⁠  ⁠Intense suffering tied to time—fear of the future, lamentation for the past, and confusion in the present •⁠  ⁠A powerful urge to withdraw from life or even give up •⁠  ⁠Confrontation with parts of ourselves we'd rather not see •⁠  ⁠A feeling of complete helplessness, where even our best tools no longer work Rather than avoiding these moments, Simon shows us how to recognize them as sacred rites of passage—times when the soul is being reshaped by divine design. Learn how to navigate the inner battlefield with the guidance of yoga philosophy, and why the teachings of Krishna to Arjuna offer a timeless blueprint for turning breakdown into breakthrough. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Why suffering often precedes spiritual evolution •⁠  ⁠How to listen, surrender, and evolve when everything falls apart •⁠  ⁠Why the world's greatest spiritual texts were born from suffering •⁠  ⁠Practical tools from the Gita for navigating emotional crisis This episode is a profound companion for anyone going through grief, loss, disillusionment, or inner change. Let the Gita be your guide through the shadows.
