The Hidden Reason You’re Unhappy: Discovering the Soul’s Hunger for More

By Michal Spiegelman

Twice in my life, I felt so empty inside I wanted to die.

The first time was after I lost my last pregnancy. Previous pregnancies stopped in early labor, but this one was different. I fell into a depression so deep I was unable to feel grateful for the two amazing children I did have. It was like my soul only had space for grief and nothing else.

The second time was at my mother’s funeral. She had a heart attack at 55 and passed at age 65. Standing by her graveside, I had an epiphany: if I didn’t find a way to take care of myself and heal, I would soon go down the same road she did.

I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t just burnout; I was dead inside.

I’ve always been highly driven and goal-oriented in my professional life, but in my personal life, I was falling apart. I had no sense of direction and felt consumed by grief. If only I had known then that my soul was broken and craving more, it would have saved me years of pain, spiritual and inner work.

Turning my brokenness into a breakthrough was part of my spiritual lesson.

Looking back, I realize I had been living a soulless life for a long time. While I’d never want to re-live those dark days, they gave me a sense of deep knowing. I understand what it’s like to be broken and how to offer genuine compassion to other women whose souls are in pain.

I think back to my mother’s funeral often, the moment I knew I couldn’t follow in her footsteps because my soul was hungry for more. Maybe you’ve also been seeking more connection, meaning, and “food” for your soul.

How do you know when your soul is craving more?

  • You feel like you “should” be happy, but you’re not.
  • You’re searching for deeper meaning but never seem to find it.
  • You feel like you’re just going through the motions of life.
  • You’re constantly questioning, “Why am I not happier?”
  • Your relationships feel surface-level and lack connection.
  • People think your life is perfect, but it feels like you’re dying inside.
  • Being a wife, mother, sister, or friend (different roles you play in life) no longer excites you.

When women reach out to me for guidance, they usually say…

  • “I feel stuck”
  • “I can’t move forward”
  • “My job sucks”
  • “My marriage is falling apart”
  • “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired”

They usually don’t say, “My soul is craving more.” Once we get to the core of their pain, they realize that the challenges they’re experiencing are often symptoms of a soul that is hungry for deeper purpose and meaning. Underneath the symptom is a need to add more soulfulness to their lives.

How do we define the soul?

Since I started writing my book about the healing model I developed called A Journey into Your Soul, I have lived and breathed the word “soul” every day. In my research to understand the soul, the need to differentiate between “soul” and “spirit” emerged. We often use these terms interchangeably, but I believe there is a difference.

I’ll share more in my book, but these are my current, nuanced definitions of “soul” and “spirit” …

Your spirit is your eternal, unlimited, divine spark.

Your Soul is the inner life of your emotions, experiences, history, and purpose that creates your evolutionary journey.

The painful price of being disconnected from your soul.

Growing up in a house that discouraged the expression of emotions taught me to numb my feelings. I escaped to unhealthy coping behaviors, one of which was overeating. Being overweight well into my forties gave me a fake protection shield. It took me years to realize that my weight was just a symptom and deep pain and suffering were underneath it. Beneath the weight was a lack of connection with my soul.

When you live a soulless life, the price you pay is a lack of joy, health, and meaning. I believe that lacking an intimate connection with your soul is the root cause of many imbalances. While our culture is aware of the effects of stress, there isn’t enough understanding about missing soulfulness as the core reason for physical and emotional dis-ease.

Adding soulfulness back into your life.

In his book Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life, Thomas Moore says, “Soul is not a thing but a quality or dimension of experiencing life and ourselves. It has to do with depth, value, relatedness, heart, and personal substance.”

Most of us think about the soul as something profound, related to “the big stuff,” but Thomas Moore says that the goal of living well is learning how to foster soulfulness into our ordinary lives. Often, the small things, not the big ones, lack a soul connection.

Deepak Chopra’s book Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul, mirrors Moore’s viewpoint. Chopra says, “Here’s the whole scheme reduced to a simple formulation. “Soul carries the potential. Mind carries the intention. Brain produces the results.”

Self-awareness can help you connect with and listen to your soul’s needs.

Whether you feel unfulfilled in your marriage, family relationships, or work, all these symptoms often point to a loss of soulfulness. They signal that your soul needs more than you’re currently giving it. This emptiness can be filled once you bring more soulfulness into all areas of your life.

If your soul could speak to you, what would she say? What is she craving more of, and what would it look like to give more to her?

If you want to bring more soulfulness into your life, receive answers from the deepest parts of yourself, and get guidance from someone who has truly “been there,” then I invite you to take A Journey Into Your Soul with me.

“The goal of care for the Soul is to give ordinary life the depth and value that come with soulfulness.” -Thomas Moore
