Happy Samhain and Happy Halloween! I start off this episode by talking about how to work with the energy of this moment, and some ritual ideas for this coming weekend. I then - after sharing a few special deals that end today and Monday - discuss a very weird talk I went to last night, by renowned woo woo person Gabby Bernstein! I have been positive-neutral on her, but the talk really left a bad taste in my mouth; I explain how and why that was the case, as well as what that means for people who are very traumatized and seeking healing and help. Should you get therapy or just focus on manifestation? In my opinion, for people in active crisis, they need therapy, not manifestation. I discuss scope creep as well as critique some cult psychology and trauma dumping I experienced in the talk I went to. I end the podcast episode by talking about the importance of perspective, and approaching even unpleasant situations with curiosity.
