In this raw and reflective episode of Awakening Conversations, Kate and Amanda dive into the cultural ripple effect of a recent podcast featuring Aubrey Marcus, Vylana, Alana Beale, and Dr. Marc Gafni—a conversation that has stirred deep emotions and sparked widespread debate in the spiritual community.

With honesty and nuance, they unpack the themes of spiritual influence, power dynamics in leadership, and the increasingly blurred lines between ego-driven desire and spiritual truth. From the language of “radical monogamy” to the use of spirituality to justify personal choices, this episode explores how we discern truth from illusion—especially when it’s cloaked in conscious language.

What does real spiritual integrity look like? How do we hold space for complexity without bypassing pain? And when is a spiritual “edge” just spiritual gaslighting in disguise?

This episode invites deep self-inquiry and reminds us of the importance of discernment, sovereignty, and coming back to what’s truly aligned.
