Deborah Lukovich, PhD, is a depth psychology coach, author, blogger, and host of Dose of Depth podcast, all ways she works towards her mission to grow a movement of self-reflecting humans.
She holds a M.A. and PhD in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. Through Coaching, writing, and conversation, Deborah is on a mission to empower people with a framework for self-reflection focused on learning the language of the unconscious, through which the Soul reveals clues about our deepest desires.
She describes herself as an accidentally funny, awkward depth psychology nerd who is addicted to finding meaning in ordinary life events, and over-shares to encourage others to explore the deeper meaning of their lives.
Her most recent book Your Soul is Talking. Are You Listening? 5 Steps to Uncovering Your Hidden Purpose, combines her Jungian—based coaching framework for self-reflection with personal stories of midlife unraveling and healing wounds related to sexuality and spirituality.

In this episode, I read a blog post: The Power of Discontent: Transforming Your Life with the Depth of Wisdom Coaching Program. First, I'd like to set some larger context. Is your psycho/spiritual practice robust enough for these times?Do you even have one?Are you aware that your discontent, resistance, and agitation carry meaning?Those twinges are how life nudges you to step up and become more of the person you are meant to be. When you expand your awareness, the world around you transforms positively. While expanding may feel scary, it's also exhilarating to be liberated from wha…

Behind the smiling faces of the people who raise money for small non-profits and write grants for charter schools, are stressed out human beings always alert to the forces that make it easier or harder to inspire others to support their important missions.A long time ago, before I became a depth psychologist, I ran a successful consulting/coaching business (alinea, LLC) to help small non-profits and innovative schools, and even entire school districts attract more resources.I was so good at helping them do a better job telling their story, articulating their needs better, and cultivating…

“It was subtle and strange, the first stirring that disrupted the illusion that all was well in my life. I barely noticed it, but the sneaky twinge deep in my belly got my attention long enough to make me wonder. It felt mysterious and caught me off guard because it arrived at the exact moment when I thought I was in control of my life story. I was thirty-eight.This weekend's energy was like any other weekend; it was family chaos that felt exasperating and joyful simultaneously.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025 and Season 4 of Dose of Depth Podcast, a collection of interesting conversations, stories, and education that will inspire you to self-reflect on the deeper meaning of your life. In this episode, I read a blog post I wrote a couple days before the end of 2024. I was listening to one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Michael Bernard Beckwith. When he said, "Religion is not Truth. Truth is hidden in the Word's Religions," I thought it was a great metaphor for our own lives.

Can you feel it?Can you sense the threshhold between the old year and the new one right around the corner?It's like a doorway between who you are and who you're becoming. Having hopes and dreams can feel exciting and terrifying at the same time.Sometimes, we have a picture of who we want to become or how we want to do better or be better. To become a better version of yourself, an old aspect of yourself must die or be shed, like a snake sheds its skin - maybe a limiting belief or attachment to an anxious emotional state. The freed up energy can be focused on whatever it is ab…

There's no better time to take a risk when everything is falling apart around you. Out of the moments of despair, helplessness, confusion about the right thing to do, rock bottom of losing everything to addiction, being pushed against the wall by the bully, the final act of acquiesceing to please everyone but you ... one finally surrenders to the mysterious workings of the universe.

Most of my clients don’t come to me to explore their relationship with alcohol but almost all of them eventually bring it up. This makes sense. In every case, the issue that initiates our coaching arrangement is merely the doorway to something deeper. Getting to the topic of alcohol means they’re ready to unleash more of their true self and deepest desires into the world. Alcohol has a light and dark side as you know. One drink can relax you into a lower level of consciousness where you can escape the external world or get connected with parts of you that want to come out and play. On t…

Emotions are one way our unconscious tries to get us to explore something, turn it into an insight that would be useful right now, and prompt us to unfold into a future version of ourselves.
