Navigating a Soul Shift: How Deep Unravelling Can Lead to Personal Transformation
Life can sometimes feel like a complex web of invisible layers that hold us back from fully being ourselves. These layers might be made up of old wounds, limiting beliefs, or unexamined family dynamics — all quietly shaping how we experience the world. For some, a powerful soul shift becomes the catalyst to start peeling back these layers and reclaiming their true self.
Eleanor Moshe’s journey provides a vivid example of this process. Working in a demanding and often toxic industry, she found herself increasingly disillusioned by the disconnect between values and reality. While she appeared successful from the outside, internally she experienced deep exhaustion, confusion, and a sense of not belonging — symptoms common to many undergoing spiritual awakening or deep personal transformation.
Her “soul shift” began in 2021, triggered by what she describes as the collapse of her entire worldview — like the Tower card in Tarot, representing sudden upheaval and destruction of old structures. The external world was changing rapidly, and so was her professional environment, which was rife with toxicity and contradictions, especially in a pharmaceutical project that felt more focused on profit than genuine care.
At the same time, Eleanor was searching for meaning beyond the surface success and pushing herself towards self-discovery. It was a slow, simmering process—like a frog in gradually boiling water—until she reached a breaking point during a family trip overseas in 2023. A seemingly small event, a moment of frustration about restrictions imposed by her mother, triggered a profound emotional and spiritual breakdown. This was not just a reaction to one incident but a release of years of suppressed pain and soul abrasion caused by controlling and enmeshed family dynamics.
This breakdown marked a pivotal moment. Eleanor experienced what she calls the “devouring mother” effect, a concept she learned about through a close friend and partner, which helped her understand how deeply parental and societal expectations had shaped and limited her identity. For the first time, she cried from the soul — a deep, cathartic release that symbolised the beginning of real healing.
The journey forward involved both intense self-work and finding the right support. Eleanor discovered that not everyone in her life could walk alongside her during this transformation. Often, people only relate to the familiar, wounded versions of us, and when we grow beyond those limitations, some relationships naturally fall away.
Fortunately, she found an ally in Daniel, a friend and later partner, whose presence helped her open new doors of self-awareness. Together, they explored spirituality, energy work, and past life regression, tools that deepened their understanding of themselves and each other. These practices highlighted how much of their lives had been shaped by unresolved wounds and how healing could shift not only individual timelines but also shared realities.
What Eleanor’s story emphasises is that soul shifts often come wrapped in pain and discomfort but open up space for profound peace and clarity. It’s rarely a linear or easy path. Instead, it requires courage to face internal shadows, willingness to question old beliefs, and the grace to accept help along the way.
If you feel a stirring within, a sense that something needs to change, know that you are not alone. Whether through therapy, spiritual practice, or supportive relationships, there is a path to greater wholeness. The first step is often simply to start noticing, questioning, and allowing yourself to unravel, bit by bit, so you can begin living from your true soul.
