Why You Have to Lose Everything to Find Yourself (Dark Night of the Soul) | Jaxon Phoenix

inspo stories mindset spirituality Oct 07, 2025

When Jaxon Phoenix lost his best friend and uncovered a shattering family secret, he found himself on the edge wondering if life was worth staying for. But what came after wasn’t just survival…it was rebirth.

An author, handpan musician, and Christian humanist, Jaxon shows how the dark night of the soul can transform. In this conversation, Jaxon shares the panic attack that nearly ended everything, the small voice that kept him here, and how wrestling with God led to something more real than the faith he inherited. This isn’t a story about escaping the dark…it’s about what blooms because of it.


TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • Death and resurrection: how hitting bottom opened the door to rebirth
  • A handpan discovered by chance, with melodies he can’t explain
  • The gift of wrestling with God and questioning everything
