In this episode, we explore the savior complex and how it can be created in church culture. Building on our previous discussion about purity culture and unhealed shame, we dive into how the drive to constantly help others and prove our worth can follow us long after we leave the church. Join me as we unpack these patterns, how they show up in our daily lives, and how we can begin the journey toward healing and self-acceptance.

Do I have a Savior Complex?

Hi, I’m Taylor Blanpied and I love talking to people about life, what motivates them, and what makes them happy. My mind is drawn to think about the vastness of the universe and exploring the unknown and unseen, questioning why we think the way we do and hopefully finding peace and joy in the balanced middle path.Growing up in Waco Texas, I was raised into the Christian belief system, After college, I became agnostic for over decade and was fine with not ever knowing what I believed. Then at the beginning of 2023, I had what some might call a “spiritual awakening” while trying psychedelic mushrooms for the first time, an experience that has forever changed my life and has thrust my world into studying all things spiritual. This shift was so expansive in me, however I have since felt the almost daily friction between this new part of me and my old self.Much of this podcast will be me and others talking about the process of the inner healing journey, spiritual teachings, struggles, and lessons that myself and others are learning in a down to earth way, hopefully taking esoteric concepts and making them more relatable.We are all spiritual beings. I know that there are also a lot people, like me, who have been hurt by their church of origin and have since cut off all things spiritual in their life. One of my goals is to help others open themselves up spiritually without having any agenda for what belief system that may lead them to. There are many paths up the mountain.I love psychology and the process of self-examination, learning how to question our motives and fears, and I love the idea about helping each other grow through loving awareness and encouragement. I'm also a musician and songwriter and will have other artists on to talk about their process of creating and breaking past their creative blocks.I hope you enjoy and I wish you love and freedom. - Taylor
