In this episode Pace and I discuss the metaphor of the chrysalis, how a caterpillar builds a safe container around itself where it melts down into a kind of cosmic soup before it can reform into a butterfly and take flight. We talk about how this metaphor relates to our own lives and those periods of expansion that often feel like we turn to goo for long periods of time before we finally have a breakthrough.The chrysalis is that threshold time when you’ve outgrown the old world, but the new world has yet to emerge, and you’re in a kind of stasis between the two. That period can feel quite confusing and confronting. We talk about why that is, what we can do to cross the threshold into the new world, and how the chrysalis is a natural process and ultimately a good thing, despite it often feeling the opposite.
