002: I’m Not Who I Was Anymore

004 The Dark Night of the Soul: When Everything You Built Stops Feeling True

There is a phase in your spiritual journey where you feel the loneliest — where you stop trusting your own voice, your intuition, the people around you, and it feels like everything is quietly collapsing. People call it the dark night of the soul. And almost no one explains it in a way you can actually feel.  In Episode 4 of UNMASKED [https://share.transistor.fm/s/9f89d46b], Olga Karpman goes beneath the surface of this phase — the one that doesn't arrive all at once, but slowly, like a whisper. The one where the life you built, the roles you play, the identity you wore, suddenly stop feeling true. Where going back no longer works, and there isn't a clear way forward yet. This isn't a quick-fix episode. Olga doesn't promise answers. What she offers is rarer: language for what you're feeling, the reassurance that you are not broken, and one simple practice — observe — that can carry you through the heaviest moments. If you are in this right now, or someone you love is, this episode is a place to stay. To breathe. To remember you're not alone. In this episode: * Why the dark night of the soul is so often mistaken for depression * The caterpillar and the cocoon — why you can only move forward * How to be with grief, old wounds, and emotions that resurface * The ‘observe’ practice — sitting on the mountain above your own feelings * How to ask the people you love for space without losing them A note: Olga is not a medical professional and this is not medical advice.

002: I’m Not Who I Was Anymore

There’s a moment in life that’s hard to explain. Nothing is falling apart, everything still looks good on the outside, but something inside of you quietly shifts. https://www.olgakarpman.com/ [https://www.olgakarpman.com/] In this episode, Olga Karpman opens up about that exact moment — the one where you realize you’re no longer who you used to be, even if your life hasn’t visibly changed.

If you’ve ever felt like your life still works but no longer feels true, this episode is for you.

001: When the Mask No Longer Fits

It’s quiet at first. Subtle. Easy to overlook. Everything in your life may still be working. You’re showing up, doing what you’ve always done, holding things together the way you always have. From the outside, nothing looks off. And yet, somewhere underneath all of that, something feels different. You can’t always explain it. It’s not even dramatic. Just a slight SHIFT — a feeling that stays with you once you notice it. You keep going, you keep showing up, and still… it doesn’t feel the same. In this episode we touch on: • the moment something inside shifts • when life works… but no longer feels like yours • seeing yourself differently, without forcing change • what remains underneath the roles you’ve been living in There’s a point where you just KNOW. Something doesn’t fully fit anymore.And underneath all of it, there’s something else — quieter, more real, something that has always been there. If that feeling has been present, even in the background of your days, even without clear words for it, you’ll recognize yourself here.
