Something is happening in the spiritual community right now — a wave of tarot readers and intuitive practitioners are publicly walking away from their work, finding God, going viral. In this episode, Matilda looks at what's actually underneath that: the burnout that's real and under-acknowledged, the clinical reality of spiritual psychosis that almost nobody in this space will name, and the algorithm that profits from crisis content regardless of whether the crisis is genuine.
Then she brings it closer to home. Because underneath the public collapse of any identity built on being right or being the guide, there's a quieter version of the same thing happening in all of our lives — the need to be right in our relationships, the distances we've built out of pride, the people we've quietly left behind to win an argument.
This episode closes with a guided meditation on meeting your own ego — where it lives in the body, what it's protecting, and who it might be costing you.
It is better to be there than to be right. Sometimes that's the hardest lesson of all.
