About this listen

Sink first, then rise.

In this solo episode, I unpack a haunting metaphor about drowning and survival, and connect it to how we experience emotional rock bottom.

With insight from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and DBT, we explore how sometimes — the fall is the path.

This isn’t about glorifying suffering. It’s about recognizing that when everything falls away, we get to decide what truly matters.

⚠️ Includes a note on addiction and the myth of ‘needing’ rock bottom to change.
