People call it the dark night of the soul. And almost no one explains it in a way you can actually feel. In Episode 4 of UNMASKED, Olga Karpman goes beneath the surface of this phase — the one that doesn't arrive all at once, but slowly, like a whisper. The one where the life you built, the roles you play, the identity you wore, suddenly stop feeling true. Where going back no longer works, and there isn't a clear way forward yet.This isn't a quick-fix episode. Olga doesn't promise answers. What she offers is rarer: language for what you're feeling, the reassurance that you are not broken, and one simple practice — observe — that can carry you through the heaviest moments.If you are in this right now, or someone you love is, this episode is a place to stay. To breathe. To remember you're not alone.In this episode:Why the dark night of the soul is so often mistaken for depressionThe caterpillar and the cocoon — why you can only move forwardHow to be with grief, old wounds, and emotions that resurfaceThe ‘observe’ practice — sitting on the mountain above your own feelingsHow to ask the people you love for space without losing themA note: Olga is not a medical professional and this is not medical advice.
