  SPEAKER_00: Hello and welcome back to the Spiritual Shit Show.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: My name is Julie Wynn, your ultimate spiritual hype girl, and we are starting today's podcast with this phrase the only way out is through.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Because the energies we are collectively moving through right now, that phrase is asking to be understood in a much deeper way.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: We are still in the season of shedding.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: And it's important to reframe what shedding actually means.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: Shedding is not about cutting things off.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about deciding something was bad, wrong, annoying.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Shedding is not just finally fucking releasing that thing that we just want to be done with.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about disconnecting and then calling that healing.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: That isn't shedding.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's avoidance.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: True shedding, the kind that actually completes a cycle can only happen through love.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why this conversation right now matters.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: So these final three weeks that we are in, the snake energy still, it's not asking us to abandon parts of ourselves or our stories.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's asking us to go back and love what was unloved.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: The people, the experiences, the patterns, the versions of ourselves, the parts of our personality we learn to reject just to survive.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: We are not being asked to disconnect in this shedding.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: We are being asked to repair it, to touch it, to dance with it, to hold it, repair in love, because you cannot shed what you have not first loved.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Unloved parts don't dissolve, they linger, they loop, they resurface.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: But when something is met with love, real love, it completes.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: And this is where the phrase lands differently.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: The only way through is through love.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: And what I'm learning about love is that love, real love, is not passive.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's not soft in the way we sometimes imagine.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Love is strong, love is bold, love is disciplined, it requires devotion.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: For many people, the instinct when something becomes painful is to cut off, shut down, disconnect.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes that strategy once served a purpose, but the invitation now is different.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: We are being asked to turn back towards the places we once avoided.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Not to fix, not to force, but to repair with love.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because anything left unrepaired continues to hold energy.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: It pulls on us.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: It repeats itself.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: It creates suffering.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Love is what completes the loop.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is why the current shedding phase is so important.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Shedding is not about erasing the past.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about pretending something didn't happen.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about rejecting who you were.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about holding on to guilt and shame and anger and resentment.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: True shedding happens when something is fully integrated.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: And integration happens through love.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: You do not step into a new version of yourself by abandoning the old ones.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: You step into the next version of loving every step that brought you here to this very present moment.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that can be hard.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: It can be annoying.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: When love is calling on your heart, that can feel so annoying because it's so much easier to be angry.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's so much easier to hate.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: When we are healing, and especially in this time, old memories, emotions, patterns may resurface.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to tell you that that is not a sign of regression.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's a sign that something is ready to be completed.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Love in this context is an action.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: It asks us to see clearly, to soften where we have hardened, to meet ourselves and others with honesty and compassion.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, love can feel harder than anger, trust me.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: It can feel easier to stay resentful, closed, to want karma and validation, justice.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: But resentment keeps energy active, and love resolves it.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Love is the only thing that completes energy.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Love is the only thing that closes karmic loops.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: This phase is not about disconnecting.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's about healing.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's about repair.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's about loving all of it.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Every chapter, every lesson, every version.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: And that is how cycles end.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: That is how energy clears.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that is how true shedding happens.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: So here is the question to sit with.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And if it feels uncomfortable, confronting, or difficult, consider this.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Love may be inviting you deeper because love isn't always easy, but it is always transformative.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: And truly the only way through that is love.
