What if the very thing that wounded you is the source of the medicine you’re here to give?
In this month’s Point of Insight, Tami Simon shares a personal story: minutes before going live with an archetypal astrologer, she was told—correctly, and within seconds—that she carried “the mother of all mother wounds.” That single moment became the culmination of a much longer, gradual unfolding: a lifetime’s worth of “drops,” from a mentor she called the Queen of the Reframe, to an interview with yoga teacher and activist Seane Corn titled “Your Pain Is Your Purpose,” to an email from a business coach whose four simple words reframed everything—your karma is your dharma.
Join Tami as she reflects on:
- How a lifelong feeling of not belonging became the soil for a life’s work helping others feel connected
- The difference between sudden insight and the slow, gradual “boiling water” of a tipping point
- Why real breakthrough requires going all the way through pain, not around it
- Joanna Macy’s question—”What breaks your heart?”—and how grief and care become fuel for service
- Why “never turn away” may be one of the most important spiritual instructions there is
This is a shorter, solo reflection from Tami—released once a month on the Insights at the Edge feed—on where our deepest wounds and our clearest purpose meet.
