Building Your Spiritual Operating System (SOS) with team Holisticism

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Twelfth House! This month we’re reflecting on what’s in our spiritual and squiggly brained SOS kits.

Throughout January we’ll be musing on how to soothe our psyches and our souls, when in spiritual crisis, and sharing what we turn towards when going through spiritual growth spurts. We’ll also be dissecting with the team and featured guests how to work with, instead of against, our neuro-divergent, squiggly brained ways of being.

On today’s episode, Michelle, Janelle, and Wallis join in discussion to share their most treasured resources and habits for dealing with dark nights of the soul of the past and what’s in their toolkits as of late.

We’re musing on big Q’s like…

  • How do we know if we’re in a spiritual growth spurt?

  • What were the integral resources which helped you get through your darkest night of the soul?

  • What’s in our SOS toolkit now?

“Nothing is just accidental. Everything happens for a reason. However, that doesn’t mean that there’s meaning in everything.”
— Janelle Pearson
“The other thing that I was doing a lot at this time of my life was getting really into herbs like adaptogens. I felt like getting to know them opened up this part of me, this physical intuitive, but also actually changed the way that my brain worked and helped me see things in a different way and also gave me some sense of semblance of not control but CHOICE.”
— Michelle Pellizzon
“Sometimes, as Pema Chodron says, things fall apart. And that doesn’t mean it’s your fault.”
— Wallis Millar-Blanchaer
“Luck is random. And sometimes people are really unlucky super randomly, too.”
