Dose of Depth
Welcome to Dose of Depth. I’m your host, Deborah Lukovich, PhD, and I invite you into conversations that explore the field between us.
Together we’ll examine dreams, relationships, creativity, leadership, organizations, and the ordinary moments that quietly reshape our lives. Through stories, conversations, and depth psychology, we’ll ask not only why something happened, but why now and what is trying to emerge through our experience.
This podcast is for people who sense that life is always speaking through relationships, conflict, attraction, loss, joy, and the unexpected synchronicities that seem to appear at just the right time. We’re less interested in having the right answers than in cultivating the conditions where new understanding can emerge.
Some episodes may offer a profound insight. Others may make you laugh at the strange symbolism of your own life.
I hope that each conversation helps you become more psychologically sovereign, more available to your own unfolding, and more aware of what is ripening in the field between you, others, and the world.
So pull up a chair. Let’s explore what is trying to emerge.

2026: Becoming vs. Goal Setting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As the new year approaches, many of us rush to set goals, make plans, and envision what’s next. But real transformation doesn’t begin with striving—it begins with release.
In this episode, What Must Die Before the New Year Can Begin, I explore the often-overlooked truth that something within us must end before something new can emerge. We can’t become the person who has achieved our goals without allowing an old version of ourselves to fall away.
I share a deeply personal story from ten years ago—listening to Amy Grant’s Mary’s Song and experiencing a soul-shifting moment that taught me to trust what was happening inside me. I also reflect on a recent Christmas night of illness, where leaning into physical pain felt like a sacred shedding, much like a snake releasing its skin.
This episode is an invitation to pause, listen inward, and recognize the difference between trusting the process and knowing it. Before you plan the year, ask yourself: what must be released so the new can truly begin?
Enjoy!
