243. When Life Changes You: The Blessing in Disguise

from Spiritually Hungry · host Monica Berg and Michael Berg

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore one of life's most universal yet misunderstood experiences: change. Not the changes we choose, but the ones that choose us. Even when change is positive, it can bring unexpected pain—and we unpack why. At the root of that resistance is the ego, and how our attachment to it creates suffering when life inevitably shifts beneath our feet. From empty nests to new chapters, we reflect on the discomfort that comes with leaving one phase of life behind, even when something beautiful lies ahead. This episode invites you to stop fearing change, and instead recognize it as the very path toward your most authentic, fulfilled self. Further Readings: "Immortality and the Soul" in If You Were God by Aryeh Kaplan
