What happens when everything familiar falls away—and there’s no map to guide you home?

In this first interview of the Mapping the Descent series, Michelle Lynn sits down with writer and soul guide Kelci Heart for a raw, poetic conversation about her journey through the underworld. From the loss of identity to the surrender of control, Kelci shares how her descent unraveled everything she thought she knew—and how it revealed something far more true.

Together, we explore:

• What it really means to be “held in the dark”

• The difference between spiritual bypassing and true surrender

• How the descent reshapes your sense of self, power, and purpose

• The deep feminine wisdom encoded in grief, rage, and stillness

• How myth and metaphor help us survive—and integrate—spiritual unraveling

This episode is a balm and a lantern for anyone navigating liminal space, spiritual breakdown, or soul initiation. It reminds us that descent is not the end of the story—it’s a sacred threshold into a deeper kind of knowing.
