Episode 7
Dark nights Don’t Last Forever
In this empowering solo episode of the Truth Then Dare podcast, Dr. Nandi Shareef explores the concept of "Dark Nights of the Soul", a phrase coined by 16th Century Spanish Mystic, St. John of the Cross, which are those challenging periods in life when everything seems overwhelming and unending.
Drawing from her own experiences with hardships such as job losses, relationship challenges, and personal grief, Dr. Nandi offers practical techniques and uplifting advice to help listeners navigate through dark periods and hold onto hope.
