Every time I have experienced grief, I felt like I was being completely shattered into pieces.

It’s that terrifying space where it feels like I am losing everything, and something inside me is falling apart so deeply that I don’t know how I’ll ever put it back together.

But in those exact moments of darkness, I have always felt a silent, persistent sense of light.
This light, this inner divine, is always present.

But perhaps we are normally unable to see it because we are so locked into our rigid structures and the routines of everyday life, taking everything for granted.
Life is so incredibly fragile. We are so fragile.

Loss has a brutal way of reminding us of that. But for me, spirituality is “something” that is eternal. It is unbreakable. It is always there.

In the end, it gives us hope. But even more than that, it forces us to open our eyes so that we can finally see this world with our real eyes. In a way, it is a profound awakening.

Grief is excruciatingly difficult for a human being. There is no bypassing the pain. But if we can allow the shattering to happen, and if we are able to find that encounter with the God within... we are truly blessed. 🤍

I’ve been pondering the truth lately, and what came to me is that if we were really to see the full truth, it would jeopardize our humanness. Now, bear with me: we would become aware of the totality of who and what we are, and that could be the ultimate sacrifice of our human desires, goals, dreams, and visions.

And I feel like there is a reason why we are given these moments of enlightenment bite by bite, so that we can ground them, embody them, and truly live them. Because that is also the truth.

We are here to be embodied, not just aware of our bodies, but as a deeper reality. To bring spirit into matter. That’s the essence of embodiment, at least the way I perceive it.

There is this beautiful narrative that we should "live in truth," and the intention behind that is amazing.

But we don't talk enough about what it actually takes to get there.
To really be in truth, we first have to face our lies.

We have to face disillusionment, and honestly, that is one of the most painful things a human being can go through.

If you’ve ever been in the middle of it, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

It feels like the ground is being pulled out from under you.

But here is the thing: the first step isn't just "finding the truth." The first step is finding a foundation that doesn’t come from the lie.

We have to build that foundation inside, step by step, while the old world is still falling apart.

Only once we have that inner solid ground can we truly stop the illusion and embrace what’s real.

Truth is the courage to outlive our own lies.

Today in therapy, I realized something that’s been reshaping how I see my work:

I don’t want to control it anymore.

For a long time, I built everything from effort, strategy, and discipline.
And it worked. It still works.

But when I really look back…
the most aligned clients, the most meaningful collaborations, the moments that felt alive…
They didn’t come from control.

They came from something else. Something I can’t fully explain.

Call it intuition. Call it the field. Or call it love.

Lately, I’ve been allowing myself to surrender my work to that.

As a deeper devotion than strategy.

Because the truth is:
if there was no love moving through me, I wouldn’t be able to do this work at all.

And I have a feeling I’m not the only one.

So this is where I am right now. Less force, more listening.
Less control, more trust.
Less “building something”, more becoming a vessel for something that already wants to move

Curious how others experience this. Do you lead, or does something also lead you?

In this video I found myself answering a simple question, what was my journey, really?

And somewhere in that answer, it became very clear to me, I followed something.
And it led me here.

I used to believe that my ego was the problem.

I spent years in spiritual circles, drawn to the idea of ego dissolution.
I met so many spiritual teachers with inflated egos. People identified completely with their divine, unaware it’s their ego talking.

Inflated egos have no humility. They don’t feel awe for the divine. They teach you to be like them, while living in a constant state of self-importance masked as enlightenment.

I thought I had to dissolve my ego to reach that state.

But after 20 years of this work, I’ve realized something.
The greatest gift isn’t feeling “I am God also”, that’s always true, in essence.
And we don’t need to dissolve into it. It is the realization of the Self. I Am. I Am That I Am.

The gift after that realization is also learning what it means to be human, how to relate to other humans, and how to let the divine self experience life through your human presence.

For that, we need healthy egos. Ego with humility.

It reminds me of myths about unicorns. 🦄
The unicorn only approaches the maiden who is pure enough to receive its presence, not capture it.

Like her, our egos need to be able to hold the divine without needing to own it.
To be open enough to receive the Self as a gift, often fleeting and mysterious.

Save this for later if you’ve ever struggled with ego or humility.
DM me if you want to explore this in your own life.

In therapy, we don’t work by simply expressing anger.
We learn how to relate to the energy of anger.

Anger is form of energy.
And energy cannot simply be destroyed. It can only move.

Through practices such as awareness, breath, and active imagination, we allow the energy of anger to be felt and explored rather than acted out.

A central part of this work is learning how to stay present with anger without becoming overwhelmed.

This often begins very simply:
slowing down the experience, breathing, and becoming curious about what the anger is revealing.

Very often anger points to a boundary that has been crossed.

When anger has been suppressed for a long time, we may not even notice these crossings until the boundary has been pushed so far that the anger suddenly explodes.

Part of the therapeutic process is returning to the basics:
learning to recognize the early signals in the body and understanding more clearly where our limits are.

As we slow down the energy of anger, it begins to transform.
What first appears as overwhelming intensity can gradually become clarity about what matters and what needs protection.

When anger cannot move consciously, it will still move somewhere.

It may turn outward in destructive ways, or it may turn inward.

When anger turns inward over time, it can become toxic, manifesting as chronic tension, resentment, guilt, or self-loathing.

The work is not to eliminate anger, but to develop the capacity to stay present with its energy and allow it to move in a conscious way.

I recently started a foundation course in analytical psychology.

Yesterday we had a lecture on the shadow. The personal shadow, collective, and archetypal shadow.

It made me think about where I come from. About Croatian myths and fairy tales.

I went back into some of the stories about the Black Queen (Barbara of Celje).

The legend about the Black Queen is near where I was born, on the mountain Medvednica. Ruins there are connected to her name.

She was a sovereign woman who was demonized. Turned into something dark and dangerous.

I completely forgot about her.

And then I had this uncomfortable realization. I do the same thing to myself.

Every time I step into more authority, more financial independence and more expansion, my body reacts.

It feels like I’m stepping outside my window of tolerance. My nervous system gets activated. Like I’m doing something risky.

There is something very deep that still associates female sovereignty with danger.

As if wanting more means I will lose love, be judged or isolated.

And that’s not only personal. That’s also cultural and collective.

A woman who takes space becomes a witch.
A woman who leads becomes threatening.
A woman who wants wealth becomes “too much.”

Of course the nervous system reacts.

Shadow is sometimes centuries old.

And sometimes it shows up very practically, for example when you raise your prices, when you speak more directly, when you allow yourself to want a bigger life.

This is where shadow work becomes nervous system work.

And this is where sovereignty becomes something we have to embody, not just understand mentally.

Healing from trauma is not only processing what happened.

It’s also grieving what didn’t happen.

Trauma freezes parts of us in time. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, survival becomes the priority. Energy that would have gone into exploration, connection, creativity, or risk-taking gets redirected into protection.

Over time, this can look like lost years. Because your nervous system was doing its job, to keep you safe.

In trauma therapy, we work to:
• restore nervous system regulation
• complete interrupted defensive responses
• reconnect with dissociated or protected parts of the self
• integrate fragmented experiences into a coherent story

As the system stabilizes, something unexpected often appears: grief.

Grief for the childhood you didn’t fully have.
For the risks you didn’t take.
For the version of you that never got space to unfold.
Grief for the life that might have been.

This grief is a sign that time is moving again.
