    Stop Fighting Yourself

    Being hard on yourself doesn’t make you stronger. It severs you from the very strength you need to make it through the Dark Night of Heartbreak. In this episode, I explore the inner war we wage with ourselves: criticizing, shaming, overriding, restricting, pushing, and trying to defeat the parts of ourselves we’ve decided are the problem. Heartbreak has a way of bringing us face to face with this relationship. As painful as this reckoning can be, it offers us an extraordinary opportunity: to stop turning against ourselves. To trade brute force for passionate conviction, intimidation for intimacy, overriding for understanding, and combat for kindness. In this episode, look and listen for: How you stop fighting yourself.Why your heartbreak brings you face to face with how you treat yourself and demands you reckon with it.How the Excavation phase of a Dark Night of Heartbreak asks us to examine the beliefs, patterns, abandoned parts, crossed boundaries, and old stories that brought us here.The most important relationship you’ll have in your entire life As one of my mentors asked me, I ask you: when you are at war with yourself and you win… who loses? Resources mentioned in the episode: Let This Heartbreak Remake You: episode that explores Initiation, phase one of the Dark Night of Heartbreak. What I Said When She Called Me Sobbing: episode that explores Dissolution, phase two of the Dark Night of Heartbreak.

    When Everything Burns with HeatherAsh Amara

    Healing doesn't begin when we "rise from the ashes," but when we stop trying to avoid the fire. Welcome to this intimate, incendiary conversation with HeatherAsh Amara, mentor, land steward, philanthropist, and author of nine best-selling books, including Warrior Goddess Training. Listen in, friend, as Ash and I talk about walking through fire, not around it, and how that remakes us into the person who emerges on the other side of the wreckage. As well as how our deepest losses can become invitations into a more intimate relationship with ourselves. In this episode, look and listen for: The simple choice that transformed Ash's divorce from devastation into initiation.How Ash’s home and land was destroyed by wildfire, and what it taught her about presence, surrender, and staying with what cannot be saved.The difference between learning from the past and punishing yourself with it.The hidden agreements that heartbreak brings to the surface — including the belief, "I can't do this without them."Why so many of us have been taught to make romantic partnership the center of our lives — and what becomes possible when we stop.How to become the kind of person who can sit beside devastation without rushing to make it okay.What it actually means to refuse to abandon yourself in the middle of heartbreak. Consider that this impossible time in your life isn't asking you to be stronger but is simply asking you to stay. About HeatherAsh Amara Best-selling author, mentor, land steward, and philanthropist, HeatherAsh Amara has spent the last three decades guiding her many loyal readers through the challenging contradictions of modern life.

    The Sacred Work of Falling Apart with Mirabai Starr

    The Sacred Work of Falling Apart with host LiYana Silver & guest Mirabai Starr What if the worst season of your life wasn't evidence that you've lost your way but an ancient passage that countless mystics have walked before you? In this luminous and deeply personal conversation, Mirabai Starr, translator of Dark Night of the Soul and author of Ordinary Mysticism and I explore the Dark Night of the Soul: what it is, what it isn't, and why experiences like heartbreak, divorce, grief, and profound loss can become unexpected doorways into a more intimate relationship with ourselves, with love, and with what is sacred. This is a conversation about surrender, soul, and the mysterious grace that sometimes arrives only after everything we thought would save us has fallen away. In this episode, look and listen for: What the mystics knew about heartbreak.What the "Dark Night of the Soul" actually is and why it's far more than simply going through a hard time.Why divorce can become one of life's deepest spiritual initiations, whether you left or were left.The surprising difference between suffering that breaks us and suffering that transforms us.The moment when the spiritual practices, beliefs, and certainties that once sustained us sometimes stop working, and why that's not failure.Understanding grief not as weakness but as evidence of our capacity to love.Why authenticity, not positivity, is the most healing companion during heartbreak.Mirabai's own extraordinary story of love, loss, spiritual abuse, divorce, and the death of her daughter Jenny, and how those experiences reshaped her understanding of the sacred.What the mystics mean when they say that something in us must die before something truer can be born.Why there isn't just one dark night but many, and how each one invites us into a deeper intimacy with life. I hope this conversation meets you in your own dark night of heartbreak, reminding you that you are not lost, even if everything familiar has fallen away. Sometimes the deepest transformation begins precisely where certainty ends. About Mirabai Starr Mirabai Starr is an award-winning author, internationally acclaimed speaker, and interspiritual teacher. In 2020, she was honored on Watkins’ list of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. Drawing from 20 years of teaching Philosophy and World Religions and a lifetime of practice, Mirabai shares her wisdom worldwide on contemplative living, writing as a spiritual practice, and the transformational power of grief and loss. Mirabai has authored over a dozen books including Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair, and renowned translations of sacred literature, including Dark Night of the Soul. Her most recent book, Ordinary Mysticism, has been praised by Anne Lamott as “a gorgeous, transformative, welcoming book is for anyone who longs to feel more present, more alive, more joyful and aware of the holiness of daily life”. She lives with her extended family in the mountains of northern New Mexico. For more, visit www.mirabaistarr.com.

    In We Go: Podcast Trailer with host LiYana Silver

    Welcome to Waking Up in Heartbreak. I suspect three things about you, if you’re here at a podcast titled Waking Up in Heartbreak: Your heart is shredded. Your identity is dissolving. What you’re going through is so intense and complex it feels like a dark night of the soul.Yes, you want relief. You want to be on the other side, glowing and confident. And you will. But something in you says, stay here for a spell: there’s something here in the very parts you’re tempted to skip over, that’s key to who you’re becoming. Who you become as you do the work of not skipping over, IS who helps you emerge.There is an impulse, an indomitable strength or inner fire in you -- even if it feels faint at the moment -- that won’t let up until you are more fully awake, lit-up, fully yourself. I think it’s precisely what led you here. Welcome. I’m LiYana Silver, author of Waking Up in the Dark Night of Divorce and Feminine Genius. I’ve been a relationship coach for nearly 25 years, guiding women (and their partners) through deep transformation, all the way through heartbreak to rebuilding lives and loves that are unapologetically alive, beautiful, meaningful. Here’s what we need to talk about: How to get through (but not bypass) the hardest partsWhy losing yourself in relationships, especially for women, is not an accident but by design.The inner work of reclaiming yourself that has to happen before you rebuild your life.Trusting yourself (again), being good to yourself, and being as big and bright as you truly are I know, this divorce or breakup feels like a failure, but it’s an initiation. I know you might feel all is lost. Or you are lost. But you are somewhere: in one of life’s most potent rites of passage. So come in close. Grab a soft blanket and warm beverage. Let this heartbreak wake you and remake you.
