Feeling Your Way Through the Wilderness:...

BLUE WIRE
About this episode

What if the darkness you’re in isn’t punishment, but preparation?
In this soul-stirring solo episode, Tori Gordon unpacks what it means to be in the messy middle—that wilderness between who you were and who you're becoming. Through biblical metaphor, personal storytelling, and spiritual wisdom, she offers a tender and truthful roadmap for anyone navigating uncertainty, grief, transition, or the silent in-between seasons of life.

From walking away from her marriage with no plan, to learning how to trust divine timing, Tori shares how surrendering control is sometimes the only way forward—and how the desert can become holy ground.

Whether you're in a career shift, a breakup, a spiritual awakening, or simply unsure of what’s next—this episode is your reminder:
You’re not lost. You’re being led.

In This Episode

  • What the “wilderness season” really means (biblical and personal reflections)
  • Why your nervous system craves clarity but your soul longs for truth
  • The power of spiritual GPS: listening for the next prompt
  • Why trying to skip the hard part blocks your breakthrough
  • How to regulate your body when you’re in emotional disarray
  • A reframe on waiting, faith, and staying the course
  • Somatic and spiritual practices to stay grounded when life feels uncertain

This Is For You If You're

  • Feeling disoriented, stuck, or like nothing is working
  • Going through a breakup, divorce, or major life pivot
  • Questioning your next step and craving clarity
  • Experiencing a dark night of the soul or spiritual stripping
  • Longing for alignment, guidance, and embodied truth
