Initiation isn't a metaphor. It's the death of who you were and the birth of who you're becoming—and there's a terrifying void in between.
In this episode, Casey explores what initiation actually is: not the sanitized self-help version, but the real thing that breaks you open and changes you forever. You'll learn why initiations choose you (not the other way around), why death and rebirth are literal experiences, and why comfort was never the goal.
You'll discover:
- How to recognize if you're in an initiation right now
- Why the liminal space—the underworld, the void—is where transformation actually happens
- The difference between "hard times" and true initiations
- Why initiation is a spiral, not a linear path you complete
- How Casey teaches from the threshold she's walking (maiden-to-mother)
If something in your life feels like it's falling apart, you might be exactly where you need to be. This episode will help you trust the descent.
