“I was on the floor crying and saying I can't do this, I can't do this and then at some point I remember praying and just saying okay just help me. I know I'm meant to be here. It doesn't feel like I am. I'm meant to be in this world. So what am I supposed to do? And then I reached to the books behind me on the bed. I grabbed a copy of Michael Singer's Untethered Soul. I opened it to a page that I was up to and I read a paragraph on surrender.”
In this deeply honest episode, journalist, author, and founder of The Spiritual Book Club Jacinta Tynan shares the rarely-seen layers beneath a life of public success. From single motherhood and estrangement to spiritual awakening and surrender, Jacinta brings words to the quiet becoming so many high-achieving women know - but rarely name.
We talk about how clarity often follows collapse, how stillness lets the truth speak, and how journaling and Vedic meditation became anchors for rebuilding from the inside out - plus the surprising role breathwork is now beginning to play in her healing.
This is not an episode about fixing yourself. It’s about softening into your wholeness and remembering who you were before life asked you to prove it.
