The Art of Becoming
In this deeply personal and reflective episode, Abel takes us on a journey through memory, transformation, and radical self-honesty. Sparked by the meditative act of reorganizing old photo albums lovingly assembled by his mother, he explores how confronting the past becomes a sacred doorway into self-awareness and healing.
Abel shares the beauty—and brutality—of “becoming” as a spiritual art form. What begins as a nostalgic reflection quickly unfolds into a vulnerable confession: the pain of recognizing one’s own darkness, the shame of past transgressions, and the ongoing process of rebuilding integrity. Through the lens of shadow work, Abel explores themes of accountability, grief, and redemption, while honoring the impermanence and fluidity of identity.
This episode offers a raw meditation on embracing both light and shadow in the pursuit of self-actualization. It’s a call to surrender to change, let go of ego, and lean into sorrow as a portal to deeper love. With poetic introspection and spiritual depth, The Art of Becoming reminds us that transformation is never linear—and that healing is found in remembering every version of ourselves.
