242: Befriending Your Darkness

from I'm Perfectly Divine Podcast · host Michelle Bersell

Have you ever felt that twinge of fear creep in—afraid that you're slipping into a dark place again? Maybe it's a wave of emotional heaviness you can't quite name. In this episode of I'm Perfectly Divine, we’re getting honest about those moments when darkness arises and how to meet them with empowered, embodied presence instead of fear. Drawing from my personal experiences with darkness and years of guiding others through emotional and spiritual healing, Michelle shares a holistic approach—blending mind, body, spirit, and emotion—for moving through dark energy without it overtaking youIn this episode, we explore:- Why dark periods are a normal part of the human journey.- Seven steps to take when you feel darkness engulfing you.- Where mindset does and doesn’t fit within your journey to remembering your Sacred Self.- Why what your humanity fears is you going backwards is actually a step forward to deeper transformation.- How your darkness holds the gold for you to integrate more aspects of yourself more fully from love. We’re not meant to white-knuckle our way through life. True growth comes from allowing the full human experience—including the darkness within us. When we stop resisting and start receiving what the darkness is offering, we move through it with grace instead of fear. The dips become shallower. Our frequency steadies. And we remember who we are—not because we fought for it—but because we allowed truth to emerge.Sign up to never miss an episode and learn about upcoming trainings on your Sacred Self journey at https://michellebersell.com/
