In this week’s episode, I take a deep dive into the meaning of true spiritual growth—and the obstacles that keep so many from reaching it. Too often, we cling to our beliefs with an iron grip, driven by ego and the need to be “right,” rather than opening our hearts and minds to see the world with greater clarity. I explore how rigid devotion to the teachings of the church can sometimes overshadow the living guidance of Jesus Christ, and how insisting that others agree with our views blocks us from experiencing the deeper unity that connects us all. “True Growth” is an invitation to let go of control, listen openly, and discover the freedom that comes with humility, compassion, and a willingness to truly learn.

In this week’s episode of Finding True Understanding, we take a deep dive into the often-overlooked truth: not everyone is on the same path, pace, or phase of healing and growth. It's easy to forget that while we may be evolving, those we love may still be finding their footing. This episode is a heartfelt reminder to slow down, practice empathy, and recognize the power of being a safe space for others. Join us as we explore what real support looks like — not fixing, not forcing — but simply being there with presence, patience, and unconditional care.

The hardest part of the healing journey is the ability to understand oneself. How many times have you been presented with the opportunity to face your shadows and chose to run from them? How many times have you been given that opportunity to become closer to Christ and chose to shy from it? Every moment is a chance to become closer to Christ, to higher self, to true integration within, you have to have the faith to take the step.

We all have triggers, yet most can never face them without projecting. Have you been emotionally abused or are you afraid to face your own shadows and blame others? This week will trigger many that refuse to face their own demons and blame others for what they can not face within themselves. Claiming Emotional abuse towards another in an adult relationship without true context within yourself is a true form of self sabotage and growth. If you can not take accountability within yourself and understand that everything is a reflection or mirror of what you feel within, you will never break your own cycles.

The hardest part of our growth spiritually is to break free of what we were taught and to challenge every belief we have ever had. This week I dive into what I have found on my journey in regard to religion and spiritual growth. Yes, I know this will trigger many because of the topic.

Along the healing journey so many dislike this terminology. They don't like when they are approached with "you need to crawl before you walk" because it entails they must sit within their feelings. It means they must actually face the hurt and pain that they have experiences physical, emotionally, or psychologically. They don't feel it a requirement until it resurfaces again and again within their lifetime.

Are you living authentically? Are you speaking your truth? These are the questions on this weeks episode. Learning to speak our truths, live through our spirit's knowings instead of the trained beliefs that we are taught throughout this journey.

We all come here to clear generational curses, to break the cycles of our lineage. Many of us fail to acknowledge these generational traumas or curses and continue to pass them on once more. The Higher Self does recognize this and know this does happen and when we refuse to break the curse, another lifetime is created to help break this cycle. Are you living within those cycles or are you the timeline and lifetime that finally breaks free from them?

This week I ask a simple question, a question so many are afraid to face. Are you living your truth? Or are you afraid to speak your truth? This is a triggering topic for so many because it simply attacks a trauma that so many face in their lives.

This is and will always be a touchy subject for so many in this timeline. Women and Men claiming that the other parent is responsible for the relationship with their children, and that they need to grow up. How many want to admit that their own toxic behaviors and beliefs are contributing? How many want to actually face their own shadows? Truth is, sometimes your perspective is causing more damage to the children and their relationship with their other parent than you realize.
