It was such a delight to welcome Dr. Melissa Corley Carter to the podcast! Melissa shared on the podcast the dark night of the soul is actually the "dark night of the ego and the healing of the soul." I was blown away by this statement and her story of taking her rejection from becoming an astronaut and running with it.
We had the most fun geeking out on Human Design and she introduced me to the 7 Levels of Energy Leadership, which can be used with each gate in human design - is this my new obsession???
