The Fertile Dark is a podcast for people who sense something essential is missing — even when life looks productive, informed, or “successful.” Drawing from depth psychology, mythology, and lived experience, the show explores the slow, relational work of becoming beyond self-optimization and performance. Through thoughtful conversations and reflection, it examines authenticity, meaning, and community — and what it takes to live in ways that are personally true, genuinely sustaining, and willing to question inherited definitions of success.
