In this week’s episode of Five Lemons Laughing, Amanda, Morgan, and Melissa explore a question that touches every relationship:

👉 Can you be right and still be in Love (with a capital L)?

The ego loves to win, to fix, and to control. But intimacy isn’t something you can win or manipulate. Together, we dive into the subtle ways ego sneaks into our marriages, friendships, and even our spiritual communities—often disguised as caretaking, peacemaking, or “being the more evolved one.”

You’ll hear:

• Real-life stories of ego showing up in marriage and family dynamics

• The difference between love (small "l") and Love (big "L")

• How “spiritual ego” blocks intimacy and connection

• Tools and practices: A Course in Miracles responsibility principle, Byron Katie’s turnarounds, Ho’oponopono prayer, and kundalini yoga

• The power of self-love and awareness to shift from conditional to unconditional relationships

✨ Key takeaway: Awareness is curative. When we notice ego’s manipulations, we open the door to deeper connection, authentic love, and healing.

• Jennifer Hadley – “Awareness is Curative”

• Byron Katie – The Work

This week on Five Lemons Laughing, we’re diving into one of the most powerful affirmations from A Course in Miracles:

“I am here only to be truly helpful.”

But what does that actually look like in real life?

Too often, being “helpful” gets tangled up with rescuing, over-giving, fixing, or managing other people’s experiences. In this episode, the Lemonettes share raw, heartfelt stories of learning to step back—so that Spirit can step in.

✨ You’ll hear:

• Drusilla’s mid-year check-in and her practice of releasing attack thoughts

• Penny’s breakthrough about letting her daughters struggle (and grow!) on their own

• Melissa’s insights on fear vs. love when offering support

• Morgan’s Spirit-led moment in a challenging friendship

This conversation is for anyone learning how to show up with presence instead of pressure—offering love, not control. Because truly helpful support doesn’t always mean doing more—it means being more available to Divine Guidance.

No Is a Complete Sentence: Letting Go of Over-Explaining

 

 In this powerful conversation, Amanda, Penny, and Drusilla explore the subtle yet profound habit of over-explaining—and how it drains our confidence and energy. When we justify our choices and feelings to others, we cede our power, seek external validation, and ultimately erode our inner truth. But it doesn't have to be this way.

 

In this episode you'll hear:

🚫 Why “No is a complete sentence” isn’t just catchy—it’s liberating.

🌀 How timely self-checks like “Is this hindering my performance?” help interrupt the spiral.

🎭 Heartfelt Mimi-theater: what happens when we skip the explanation and simply follow intuition.

🛟 Real-life examples of boundaries, gossip, and staying in your integrity. 🪞

Deep reflections on people-pleasing, mental fitness, and spiritual growth.

 

You’ll walk away knowing: 

💜 How over-explaining affects your vibration.

💚 Why trusting your truth builds deeper, more authentic connections.

❤️ What to do when someone resists your “No.”

💙 Why walking your talk is the spiritual path in action.

 

Whether you're on a journey of self-discovery or simply crave more peace in your daily decisions, this episode is a gentle invitation to let your quiet power speak for itself.
