What happens when spirituality becomes trendy, teachers become brands, and trust gets tangled with visibility, influence, and the search for belonging? Andrea and Tera McAmis discuss these questions and the larger issues beneath them, including red flags in spiritual spaces, the vulnerability of awakening, and why discernment matters more than ever. 

As the conversation moves through social media, workshops, projection, disappointment, and the pressure to hand authority to someone else, the deeper message becomes clear: real spiritual growth should strengthen your self-trust, not weaken it. This episode is a reminder that you can stay open, keep learning, and still be discerning about who and what you allow to shape your life.
