Ep 23: the Spiral of Integration with Evylyn Rose
<p>What if spiraling isn't a sign that you're falling apart?</p><p>In this episode of Sacred Stories of the Spirit, I sit down with intuitive tarot reader, educator, healer and U.S. Army veteran Evylyn Rose to explore a different understanding of growth, healing and personal evolution.</p><p>Together, we discuss Evylyn's powerful metaphor of life as a spiral rather than a straight line. Instead of seeing ourselves as moving from one point to another, she invites us to consider how we revisit familiar lessons throughout our lives, each time bringing new wisdom, perspective and understanding.</p><p>Along the way, we explore:</p><p>• Why life may be better understood as a spiral than a straight line<br>• The stories we inherit from family, culture and society<br>• Rewriting narratives that no longer serve us<br>• Military service, resilience and belonging<br>• Tarot as a tool for storytelling and self-reflection<br>• Storytelling as medicine in times of uncertainty<br>• The journey of integrating the many parts of ourselves into a coherent whole</p><p>At the heart of this conversation is a simple but profound question:</p><p>What is the connecting thread that runs through every chapter of your life?</p><p>For Evylyn, the answer is simple.</p><p>"Me. It's me."</p><p>This is a conversation about identity, integration, and finding yourself within the spiral of your own story.</p><p><br></p><p>About Series 3 of Sacred Stories of the Spirit: Consciousness in the World of Work: we're exploring the stories, practices and perspectives that help us navigate life, work and meaning with greater awareness, presence and purpose.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find out more about our my guest, Evylyn Rose: </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.evylynrose.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.evylynrose.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/evylynrose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Linkedin</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find out more about your host, Jordan Harcourt-Hughes</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://jordanharcourthughes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://jordanharcourthughes.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanharcourthughes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">LinkedIn</a></p>
