In this solo episode of ENHEARTENED with Xavier Dagba, we dive deep into the misunderstood territory of spiritual depression—a soul-initiated pause that invites deep realignment, not pathology.

You’ll learn:

• What spiritual depression actually is—and how it differs from emotional burnout or clinical depression
• The hidden wisdom of the soul when everything goes quiet
• How to stop resisting the void and begin listening to what’s gestating
• The role of masculine and feminine energetics in navigating the unknown
• Why unfinished business must be cleared before new vision can emerge
• How to recognize when you’re ready to re-engage with life from deeper truth

This episode is for anyone walking through a fog they can’t quite explain, feeling disconnected from old identities but not yet anchored in the new.
You’re not broken. You’re in transition. And there is medicine in the undoing.
