Last week, I thought I was stepping away from the podcast. But something unexpected happened…

I realized I was grieving — not a person, but an entire identity. A marriage. A career. A version of me who worked endlessly to be enough.

So I gave myself space.

I shut down the noise.

I sat in silence.

And then… I performed a ritual to honor the man I used to be — the one who tried so hard to survive, succeed, and be loved in all the ways he knew how.

I thanked him.

I released him.

And something new was born.

In this episode, I share:

• the emotional heaviness that revealed my grief

• how silence helped me hear what I’d been ignoring

• the ritual that marked the end of one life and the beginning of another

• a vivid dream that showed me my psyche was reorganizing itself

• the moment I finally said: you have nothing to be ashamed of… you can rest now

This isn’t a return to the podcast.

It’s a rebirth — from performance to presence.

If you’re grieving a past version of yourself… you’re not alone.

And if you feel a quiet pull toward something new… maybe that’s what’s being born.

We are not broken — we are becoming.

In this short, heartfelt episode, I share what’s true for me right now.

The truth is—I’m grieving. And for a long time, I haven’t given myself the space to fully feel it.

So I’m stepping away for a while. Not because something’s wrong, but because it’s time to rest, heal, and come home to myself again.

This isn’t a goodbye—it’s a sacred pause. A moment to live what I’ve been teaching.

If you’ve been walking beside me through this journey, thank you.

You’ve reminded me that we’re not broken, we’re just remembering.

Take a deep breath.

You are home. You are whole. You are enough.

Until we meet again— stay naked, stay true, and keep coming home.

This week, I didn’t plan to record anything. My mind was full, my heart was tired, and I wasn’t sure what I had left to say.

But then three moments found me—and each one reminded me of something I can’t ignore: healing doesn’t happen because we dig harder; it happens when we create space for truth to find us.

In this raw and real episode of Coming Home with Daryl, I talk about what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what our heart is asking for.

You’ll hear stories about releasing people-pleasing, creating emotional space, and finding freedom through presence and self-acceptance.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in your head, this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect to yourself.

This week’s episode is raw, messy, and real.

After losing my job, giving up cannabis, and wrestling through one of the strangest days I’ve ever had—filled with vivid daydreams and disorientation—I discovered a deeper truth: growth only happens when we step outside our comfort zone.

In this episode, I share what it feels like to question your sanity, why I chose to let go of another substance in my life, and how I’m learning to embrace discomfort as part of becoming my truest self.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not broken—you’re becoming.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share a deeply honest journaling moment that began with unexpected sadness and spiraled into questions about fear, loneliness, and validation.

I explore how chasing approval sneaks back in—even after shedding people-pleasing—and how returning to meditation, trust, and alignment brings me home again. You’ll hear the story of a friend’s message that cracked me open, reminding me of the power of being seen.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt unseen, or longed for permission, this episode will remind you that you already have everything you need inside you.

In this raw and vulnerable episode of Coming Home, I open up about the secrets I’ve carried — including my fear of sharing my spiritual beliefs publicly.

For years, I shrank in silence, worried about judgment and rejection. Today, I take a step into freedom by naming my truth with love, without blame, and with deep respect for everyone’s path.

I share how conditioning once kept me quiet, how I’ve worked to release it, and why I refuse to hide who I am anymore.

This is not about right or wrong. It’s about presence, love, and owning the truth that brings us home.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• The hidden cost of secrets and silence
• How fear of judgment kept me from speaking my beliefs
• Practices that helped me dismantle old conditioning
• Why vulnerability is the doorway to freedom
• Reflective questions to help you uncover your own hidden truths

If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep quiet about who you are or what you believe, this episode is for you. Come home with me — and step into the freedom of being fully seen.

This week I found myself face-to-face with old patterns I thought I’d buried—people-pleasing, autopilot yeses, and sneaky self-doubt.

Fear showed up quietly, disguised as approval-seeking and second-guessing my path. For three days straight, I caught myself slipping into old masks… until faith reminded me to come home.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share how fear can creep in through the back door, how easy it is to default to old identities, and how I continue to choose faith—even when doubt is loud.

You’ll hear the truth of what it feels like to shed people-pleasing, set boundaries when others “dump” on you, and reclaim your presence as enough.

✨ Themes in this episode:

Catching sneaky masks of approval-seeking

Recognizing when fear is disguised as “being nice”

Returning to faith, presence, and peace

Gratitude for those who see you along the way

Why you don’t need anyone’s permission to be you

If you’ve ever questioned yourself on this path, this episode is for you. Remember: fear is sneaky, but faith always brings you home.

When I sat down to record this episode, I felt the pressure to “say something good.” Then I caught myself — that’s performance talking, not presence.

What followed was raw truth: reflections from my journal, a passage from a book, and a reminder that letting go creates more freedom than overthinking ever could.

This isn’t polished. It isn’t a TED Talk. It’s me, real and unfiltered — and maybe that’s what makes it worth hearing.
