What if the discomfort you’re feeling… is transformation in progress?

In this raw and soulful episode of Inner Temple, I revisit a time when my life no longer fit—when I was shedding an old identity, living in a beautiful loft perched at the edge of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Outside: addiction, pain, and despair. Inside: dreams, downloads, and a sacred portal for healing… until the space itself began to crack under the pressure.

This is the story of Uncomfortable Skin—the awkward, aching stage of growth where you haven’t yet arrived, but you’re no longer who you were. A space between identities. A place where magic and madness collide.

Includes the original poem: Uncomfortable Skin

Guided reflection on the grit, grief, and grace of staying with discomfort

🎧 Tune in and explore:

• Why discomfort is often the birthplace of transformation

• How space, energy, and place shape your healing journey

• What it means to outgrow a version of yourself—and stay present anyway

“For in the stretch, the crack, the break, the soul finds paths it’s meant to take.”
