Navigating Uncertainty And Surrendering Control In Love And Life | Lessons From My Dark Night Of The Soul
What if the hardest, most painful moments of your life were actually working for you?
Let’s get real—life has a way of throwing curveballs, and sometimes, they hit harder than we ever imagined. In this episode of The Femme Cast, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about a year that pushed me to my breaking point. From navigating the overwhelming demands of caring for aging parents, to confronting deep-rooted fears and patterns that shook me to my core—I’m diving deep into the personal, messy, and transformative journey I’ve been on.
If you’ve ever found yourself trying to hold everything together while slowly falling apart, this one’s for you. I learned the hard way that controlling every outcome isn’t just impossible—it’s draining the life out of you. And that sometimes, the best thing we can do is to just let go.
In this episode, I’m sharing the tools that helped me do just that—like the simple but powerful practice of daily journaling (thank you, Gabby Bernstein!). These aren’t just feel-good tips; they’re game-changing strategies that helped me break toxic patterns, reclaim my peace, and start making decisions from a place of calm, not fear.
Here’s the truth: your struggles aren’t roadblocks—they’re your greatest opportunities for growth. So if you're ready to just let go and trust where the struggles are taking you (or if you're just too tired from always trying to control them, like I was lol), then this episode is for you.
Let's do this.

Hey you guys, what is up and welcome back to the show. I'm so excited and grateful to have you here. I have very little notes today. I don't have a plan other than a subject that I wanna talk about, so we're doing it off the cuff today.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:This has been one of the most difficult periods of my life to navigate. This whole year in itself has been really challenging and there's been a lot of transformation around me and it has not been the most comfortable, to be honest, and I haven't really shared. I've shared a little bit about what's been happening, but I always try and share things in hindsight just so I can have an empowered perspective of whatever it was that kind of took place. I'm going to share it really raw and real and in the moment, right now, because I just don't have the capacity to share anything. That is above and beyond what I'm dealing with right now. Like I said, it's been a very transformational year. It has been, it has taken, it has triggered me far beyond anything I could have ever imagined and it has brought to the surface a lot of some of my own limiting beliefs and dependencies and even toxicities in some levels, in that, especially in the last few weeks, a lot, a lot of my toxic conditioning has been magnified. Maybe it was the effects of the full moon or the eclipse, I'm not sure, but here we are. So we're going to talk a little bit about how life happens. Things will get messy, life gets hard, so we're going to talk a little bit about navigating uncertainty and surrendering control in those transformational times in love and in life. Really, I mean, this applies to all sorts of transformations and upheavals, right, and you know, really understanding our place and how to navigate these challenges and transformations with ease, as opposed to creating more drama and problems for ourselves. So you know I will say this very loosely you know whether you define yourself as a spiritual person or not, you know I did speak to my spiritual advisor recently and you know she said to me she goes in very clearly.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:She's like you know you're moving through a dark night of the soul, so you have to kind of be present with it and it was so funny. Like I said to her, you know I've moved through that so many times. If you believe in that stuff and I firmly believe in you know we go through these periods of transformation and I do believe in the dark night of the soul, which is where an old version of ourselves dies so that a new version of ourselves can be reborn, and we're forced to look in the mirror and face a lot of our fears, limiting beliefs and patterning that we need to leave behind. So it's so funny because I've been through that so many times and I told her I go, you know what? I didn't even recognize it this time around at all, I just thought I was screwing everything up. She's like no, no, you've not screwed anything up, you're exactly where you need to be. She goes you just need to surrender control and just let it be. So that in itself has created a profound shift for me in the last few days, I think so, where I'm able to kind of talk about what's happening now from a perspective of still being in it, but you know, being able to kind of hold an empowered perspective on what's happening. You're going through something similar.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So you know, when we talk about lessons from my dark night of the soul, you know, like I said, what is a dark night of the soul. It is literally an old part, an old version of yourself is dying so that a new version of yourself can be reborn. So you often have to face all your worst fears, limiting beliefs and negative behavior patterns, and that is very much what's been happening for me over the last, slowly unfolding over the last year, but has really come to peak in the last two months, and I will share a little bit about what that looks like. But basically, you know, in order to do that, we have to let go of or we don't even choose to. Actually, the universe does this for us, it forces us to let go of all the things that our ego is finding some sort of comfort in, is hiding behind, is dependent on. You know all these things kind of start to strip away.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So what we start to see in, you know, these types of truly profoundly transformational experiences in our lives, or you know seasons in our lives, is a lot of the relationships that we grow comfortable around start to fall away. Careers start to fall by the wayside, jobs start to, you know, come to an end, living arrangements begin to change, relocations. You know illness, relationship endings, tragedy, like a lot, will come all at once and will trigger the crap out of you, will put you kind of back up against the wall so you can see all your worst fears, beliefs and toxic traits and all their beauty, and really allow you to have a clear picture of, okay, this is something that needs to be let go of now. You know I can't bring this with me. You know, when you're conscious, when you're conscious about being in these moments and being in these seasons of transformation, you can consciously choose what you want to bring with you and what you don't. And you can I firmly believe we can work towards, you know, transforming some of these traits and things that we see in ourselves. It's never going to be perfect. You know we're always going to be a bit of a hot mess, and that that gets to be okay. Um, but I think when we're aware of it and conscious of it, we can, we can start to make better choices and create more healthy patterns.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So I think for me, um, you know, moving through this season that I've been in, um, it's number one really being able to take a hard look at the patterns and the conditioning that I'm seeing and the fears that are coming up, and really paying attention to how they are impacting my life and my relationships. Okay, number two is, you know, really learning to trust myself beyond what logic and reason will tell me, because we are so hardwired to be in our ego, to be in our masculine energy, to constantly try and fix and control. These are the seasons where we have no control and we're actually being called to let go of control so that things can unfold the way that they're supposed to. The longer we try no control and we're not, we're actually being called to let go of control so that things can unfold the way that they're supposed to. The longer we try and control things, the longer this whole process takes. And that's kind of what I've been doing to be honest and also being able to trust ourselves beyond what seems logical or reasonable.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Because, you know again, we've been hardwired to deal with things in a very logical, reasonable. Because, you know, again, we've been hardwired to deal with things in a very logical, reasonable, strategic way, a very masculine way, and sometimes those aren't always the best solutions for where we find ourselves, and you know we can end up. And you know we can end up in this sort of trapped, in this cycle of mistrust, of not trusting what our intuition is trying to tell us. And that's where surrendering control becomes really important, because when we stop, you know, trying to control and manage everything and just sit in stillness and sit in quiet and start to hear what our inner guidance is saying to us and speaking to us. From one day to the next, we can start to navigate these situations with a lot greater ease, because we're no longer letting the logical mind or the ego run the show. We're now tuning into our higher wisdom and being able to make decisions from that place, which don't always sound like the logical thing to do. And then, after all, that said and done, it's really about holding faith and staying grounded until you move through these times with ease and come out the other side.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:One thing I will say is anytime you move through periods like this, whether it be in your relationships or your life or whatever, whatever area of your life, it's impacting, and this is something that I firmly believe, and if you can take anything away from this episode, please take this, and that is that these massive periods of transformation are never, ever meant to lead you any place that is not aligned with your highest good and your highest possible outcome or timeline. These are the shifts that literally bring you closer to the life you truly want, and it's very hard to remember that when you're in it. I am really struggling to remember that right now and it's very easy to get caught up in everything that's happening around me and I'll share a little bit more about that. But the one thing that I keep trying to like bring myself back to is that this would not be happening right now if I wasn't being um, moved into a higher timeline, a much more positive experience, life experience, um, and so I kind of keep holding this. You know, I keep holding this vision of myself, kind of on the other side of this um, you know just being content and, you know, trusting that, like just in the knowing that everything worked out so much better than I ever could have thought was possible, and that's kind of a mantra. That's kind of a mantra that I'm holding with me right now. It's an affirmation I keep saying again and again I'm so grateful that everything turned out so much and so much more magical than anything I ever could have thought was possible or imagined before. I would go through it all again to get to where I am right now, today, Right, and so when we're faced with these challenging times of uncertainty where you know life's challenges are just flying off the hook, sometimes that's all we have.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And you know what that challenges are just flying off the hook. Sometimes that's all we have, and you know what that gets to be okay. And I want to, I would love to, you know, just create a movement in the personal development community where we do start to get really real about life's challenges. Because you know what? I will tell you one thing I've been in this industry for 10 years now, 10 plus years, going on 15, I think actually, and I will say this, it is, you know, it's uncanny to me how certain communities and certain groups and certain mentors just take, you know, take permission away from anybody to talk about things that are challenging that they're moving through, you know, or almost shame them for it. And you know, talk about the importance of a positive mindset. And you know, positive mindset fixes everything, and you know you just, you just have to stay positive and be optimistic. Well, you know what, honey, that's not always the answer. Sometimes we actually, sometimes life gets hard and sometimes we need to move through hard shit and sometimes we need to talk about it. And you know, in talking and in exploring and in, you know, reflection and discovery, we have epiphanies. The important thing is to do that in balance and we'll talk about that in another episode. Otherwise this is going to unfold into a whole like novel of an episode. So let's talk about this right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So recently, you know, you guys know I'm a caregiver to both my parents. They have been in and out of hospital all year long and my mom is currently we're currently dealing with one of the most challenging health situations that we've had with my parents to date. My mom has had an L2 compression spinal fracture. She has osteoporosis. She had a fall one night. We didn't think anything of it at first, sure enough, you know. Fall one night. We didn't think anything of it at first, sure enough, you know. I won't even get into the ordeal of how this went, how this got dragged on, but you know, many days later we realized it was actually a spinal fracture that we were dealing with and so she's also got a very severe infection that she caught in hospital. So we've been dealing with that and it is, if you've.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You know she's, she's wearing a brace and she can't be upright or in a standing position without the brace on. So, um, she can be in. You know, she's either in bed and completely horizontal and unable to move beyond a 30 degree angle, or she's in a brace, um, for any of you who have like, I don't think anything could have prepared us with what we were about to deal with when we made the decision to bring her home, um and care for her at home, just because the hospital care in our area is not the greatest, um, so I don't think anything could have prepared us. I mean, and add to that the fact that she now has this infection, that is creating other challenges for her, and it has been an absolute melting pot, a perfect storm, if you will, for all of my worst fears, patterns, conditionings, triggers, all kind of coming at me all at the same time. She, we basically have to put her in and out of this brace. Every time she needs to eat, every time she needs to go to the bathroom which, with the infection, has been quite frequent, you know every time we need to set her up to take her pills, like and it's.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And seeing my mom in this state, you know this woman, who has always been like my saving grace, has been so painful for me, and I think that's where a lot of my worst triggers have come from is seeing my mom in this vulnerable state and knowing how codependent I have always been with my mother and how attached I have always been with my mother, and I'm having to face those fears and attachments right now on a very deep level and it's really it's been very triggering. And in the mix of all this you also see some of the toxic dynamics that me and all my family members have been, you know, kind of conditioned around and you know some of our worst traits being triggered and coming to the surface, things that I haven't seen in years in all of us really, and myself included in all of this, where you know we're all fighting to care for her and you know who you know trying to give her the best care possible and feeling it's like caregiving palooza in my house right now and it's almost it becomes a source of I don't know what. I don't know if you want to call it like I'm skirting around. The issue is what I'm doing right now. It's like we're all competing to be the best caregiver, because so much of who we are as family members is to care for one another and to care for one another to the best of our ability, and there's so much. I don't know if it's like a much, I don't know if it's like a. There's an attachment there that we need to provide the best care possible and in that mess there's like I don't know if it's like a competition happening between all of us. And you know, I see my dad, who also doesn't have like the best, isn't in the best place when you know, when we talk, you know, mentally speaking, you know he's been, he's been triggered by this tremendously and and and kind of taking a stance of you know pointing out the mistakes that everyone's making. And we're all doing it, we're all pointing out each other's mistakes, we all have the right answers and everybody else has the wrong answers.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So it's not to say that it's all like that, but it's definitely, I think, brought up a lot of ick for each and every one of us facing our worst fears, our worst limiting beliefs and some of our own, you know, toxic traits. One of the things I always say is you know, it's not always the easy work, but it's one of the things that I talk about when we're starting to break toxic patterning is how are we contributing to those toxic patterns? Because it's always, it's always something that we are contributing to or benefiting from in some way. And those are the truths that we often don't want to look at or we can easily avoid and just blame the other person. But when we break it down, you know, we take back our power from you know, and start to break toxic relationship patterns. When we start to look at okay, well, how am I contributing to this, how am I perpetuating the cycle and what can I do differently to break the cycle? Right, because waiting for other people to change is never the answer, right? So that's a lot of the work that you know I do with people and I'm having to redo it for myself right now is look at okay, well, where am I perpetuating some of the patterns that I'm seeing? Where am I making a contribution? How can I take a different approach? So that is kind of an empowered approach or a healthy approach to moving through all this mirroring and projection of toxic traits and patterns. So there we go, we threw an extra nugget in there for you. So that's the first thing.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The second thing Weta mentioned was the significance of being able to trust yourself beyond what logic and reason will tell you. This is hard because oftentimes the logical solution isn't the right solution in these things. Oftentimes it's doing the thing that feels completely, completely illogical. Or, you know, maybe it's your mind telling you that you need to do something, but you don't know what to do and rather than stop, you know mentally tripping and starting trying to figure out what that is, maybe it's just surrendering to. And this brings me to my third point, which is surrender. Surrendering to. I just don't know what that is right now and I'm just gonna do my best, from moment to moment to moment to moment, listen to and trust myself when I do get answers or when I do feel like, okay, this is the right approach to take and not try and force it.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You know, and I think we spend so much time and energy trying to find solutions, trying to create fixes, trying to manage every little thing that comes up, every little trigger that comes up, avoid every mishap, micromanaging to the point of exhaustion and sometimes even creating more problems for ourselves in the process. Right, like I know, like with this example, like you know, there have been situations with my mom where, you know, something came up and she was having a symptom. We knew there were symptoms of infection. Okay, well, let's get her antibiotic. We got her the antibiotic, which was great because she started to feel better, but then she got another infection as a result of the antibiotic. Like, if we had just taken the time to do this, I think, more thoughtfully, you know, maybe we could have avoided some of the complications that we've been having. You know, at the same time, though, too, it's also been, you know, about trusting ourselves and what our gut has been telling us, because in many cases, the doctors were telling us we had nothing to worry about, but we knew that there was something deeper going on beneath the surface that wasn't being addressed, and there have been so many instances where they told us there was nothing to worry about, where there was definitely something to be worried about. So, you know, it's about learning to navigate all of this while you're going through these moments, and what I would invite each and every one of you to do if you are going through these periods of intense transformation and upheaval, where everything's bubbling up to the surface and just to you know, create a very clear picture.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I did lose my job at the beginning of last year and I focused a lot on caregiving. I was looking for work, but not as intently. I was kind of like, yeah, I'll find something when I find something and it'll be the right fit. Like I wasn't in a rush to find anything and I was taking the time to really, you know, be there for my parents who were in and out of hospital this whole year. You know that's now my runway of finding work has now run out and I'm in a very serious financial crunch at the same time too. So, having to deal with my mom being in this financial crutch, there's been some upheaval in my personal relationships crotch. There's been some upheaval in my personal relationships, more so friendships more than anything else.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But you know, moving through all of this and feeling very I'm not going to say alone, because I do have support around me, but feeling very like I feel like a fish out of water. You guys sometimes Like I feel like, like something's got to give and that's what I kind of keep saying Like something's got to give, like the more attention and focus that I give on supporting my parents, the more I put myself in jeopardy, the more I start to take care of you know what it is that I need to take care of. I feel like the more you know burden is put on my family to care for and manage my parents' conditions, because obviously, this is something that we're all doing together and we're supporting each other through, especially me and my sister. But she works full time also, too, right, and that's something that I do need to consider. Like she's away from the home a lot, whereas I get to typically work from home.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So, guys, it has been a hot fucking mess, is the best way that I can put it, and controlling it has not helped. Micromanaging it has not helped. To overthink, overanalyze, try and predict what's going to happen and what the best possible solution is to what hasn't even happened yet. No, that has completely burnt me out and actually literally probably put me on the verge of a nervous breakdown at this point, because I've been trying to control everything so much and I see other people around me going like, like, kind of doing the same thing and listen, we're all human, we all do it. We get into survival mode and we start to just our baseline is survive, survive, survive, survive. How can I get through this with as least amount of you know abrasions as possible? Yeah, trust yourself. Okay, get quiet.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Stop when you think you're overthinking and you feel yourself going into that place of overanalyzing, overthinking and trying to come up with fixes to problems that you have no idea how to fix. Stop, stop. Do something else. Do anything, anything to get your mind off of what it is that you're thinking of. I don't know. Play with a pet. Off of what it is that you're thinking of, I don't know. Play with a pet. Turn on a song, put on a comedy, hug someone that you love. Do anything to get you to stop thinking, because in that thinking and trying to come up with logical solutions, when it comes from a very overactive and desperate place, we actually our fear takes over and we're not making reasonable decisions anymore and we can very easily spiral into worst case scenarios. And you don't want that and it's not what you need in these times.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You know, when I look at what we're going through right now and how many times we've all spiraled into worst case scenarios, I mean, and it's exhausting, you know, and we never, we never make the best decisions. When we do that. The best decisions are the ones that we make when we're calm, when we're not in our fear, when we can see the situation for what it is and just be present and in the moment, right and really hear what our instincts are telling us and really just trusting it and being unwavering in that. And that's when we've made our best decisions. And that is not made when we are overthinking, overanalyzing and over prophesizing if that's even a word about what's going to happen in the future, that we really have no clue whether or not it's going to happen Resisting the urge to fix and manage and control and simply surrender. You have to understand, when we go through these seasons of upheaval, like I said in the beginning, they are bringing us to a newer, better version of ourselves, and a lot of the things that we're being asked to let go of are not meant to come with us, whether it's patterns, behaviors, beliefs, people, places, things even sometimes aren't meant to come with us. And that's where I think a lot of you know this whole year has been about letting go of a lot of things that I was kind of relying on as a crutch that really don't need to be there for me anymore, you know. And so, moving forward, it's about letting go of the control and simply allowing things to be and being in this difficult season, feeling the emotions that are coming up for you and really being present with them.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I have actually made a daily practice of you know, especially in the last few weeks, of really like journaling what is coming up for me, like even if it's like, even if I rage on the page for a few minutes a day, and that's a practice that I learned from Gabby Bernstein just letting it be and being really present with what I'm feeling, with what I'm thinking, with what's coming up for me, with what's being triggered and what triggered it and why I think it's showing up for me. And you know what, guys, usually when I do this for a few minutes a day, I start to see, you know, I'll journal until I feel like I've okay, I've said everything that I had to say, I've gotten it all off my chest, I feel like I'm what's it called? Like I'm not, I'm no longer stuffing this down or carrying it with me or allowing it to fester internally, and then I can look at it and say okay, well, okay, knowing this, you know, how did I contribute to this, whatever it is, how did I contribute to this outcome or this trigger or this toxic pattern that I'm seeing, and what's my role in it, and how can I do things differently? And you'd be surprised how eye-opening things can be when you just surrender to what is and allow whatever is meant to move to just move and allow all these different parts of your life to become their own living, breathing entity and you can just kind of, you know, exist almost like a I don't want to say a bystander to your life, like we never want to be a bystander in our lives.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Obviously we have goals, we take actions, you know, but there's certain seasons in our lives where we're not meant to do that. There's certain reasons. There's certain seasons in our lives where we're just meant to sit still and allow the universe to do the work for us and all that we're supposed to do is kind of sit and be present, allow the feelings to get stirred in our body and allow them to come up and out and out in healthy ways, whether it's recording an audio note, journaling about it, having a good cry screaming into a pillow, trusting, you know, talking to a trusted advisor who can kind of remain unbiased about what's happening and can give you an unbiased perspective. I think that's really important and that's something that not all of us have access to. But I will tell you like I am not one to shy away from getting external support, whether it's the support of a therapist, a coach, a healer, a spiritual advisor freaking hotline sometimes can talk you like out of a spiral pretty quickly.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Like you have to understand, we are going through such a season of transformation, I think collectively, and I don't think that you know what we experience, the shifts that we experience in our lives, in our own world, in our own little like you know fish bowl of our existence. It is happening on a much larger scale and I think what we have to remember is we're each going through it individually but we're also all going through it collectively. So you know, thinking that you're doing something wrong or you're fucking it up because things are going wrong in your life or you made bad choices, or, you know, maybe you're bringing low vibrational energy. I mean, yeah, we can attract lower vibrational crap. But I mean I mean sometimes it's a learning experience that we go through, like I know I went through it at one point but sometimes it's just fucking life, sometimes it's just life and life gets hard and that gets to be okay and we get to move through that and trust that everything is working in our favor, even if it doesn't feel like it in that moment.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And that really is the third and final point that I want to say is that hold the faith. Stay grounded in the belief that everything is working for you, even when things get hard, even when things feel like they're falling apart, even when you're facing your worst fears, your worst limiting beliefs, your most painful triggers are coming at you at lightning speed, like literally on rapid fire is what it felt like. Just hold the faith. Yes, this feels shitty. Yes, this isn't a good place right now. Feel shitty. Yes, this isn't a good place right now, but I trust that this is somehow working for my highest good and when it all unfolds, I know the outcome will be exactly what I would have wanted and needed, even if I can't see it right now. And just keep staying grounded in that belief.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And I think that, as we move through difficult times in our lives, you know faith. You know faith is one of those things that you know. They always say it's, it's, it's believing in what you. What there's no proof exists right. What there's no proof exists right. And we talk about having faith in higher beings. And you know whether you identify as someone who is religious or spiritual or whatever, having faith that life is just working for you, even though it doesn't look like it in the moment. You know, whether you believe in something or not, you can, you can have faith in that. You know nature is always coming to balance, nature is always healing itself, nature is always finding equilibrium and you know, yeah, things get. And you know, yeah, things get, things get fiery, sometimes storms happen. You know all of these things, you know they, they, they. They are part of the experience, internally, externally, collectively. But you know the, the healing how do I want to say this? The healing, the transformation, the cleansing, these are all part of nature, right? And I think that a lot of times when we talk about healing and we talk about, you know, having like a healing experience, you know I help facilitate healing for many people, obviously, and I've facilitated healing in myself so many times. And you know people ask me. You know, heidi, do it.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Healing is the natural process. It's unlearning all the ways that we have blocked our own healing through time, through our conditioning. The body's natural response is to heal itself. The emotional body, the spiritual body, the soul, its natural state is to heal itself and that's why sometimes we, you know, in this process of healing and transformation, we will attract the people, places and things that trigger the exact thing that we're meant to be working on. And that's what's happening. We're triggering the exact things that we're meant to be working on to let go of so that we can reemerge a higher expression of who we are meant to be in this life, and that is the be all and end all of these very difficult seasons that we move through. Whether you want to call it the dark night of the soul or whatever, the shit is real. So hopefully that gives you some comfort today.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Hopefully, let me know what you take from this and how this spoke to you. Hopefully, you know, let me know what you take from this and how this spoke to you, what you want to. You know what you're thinking of and you know listening to and thinking, oh my God, like that's exactly what I needed to hear or that's exactly what I'm moving through and that's exactly the advice that I needed. I'm really curious and let me know if you are moving through one of these seasons.

And if you can take anything away from this episode, take that.
