Spiritual Gatekeeping: Boundaries, Scarcity and Red Flags


Listen Later

In this episode, we unpack a powerful listener question: Can students also become gatekeepers in spiritual spaces?

From mentorship secrets to withheld resources, we explore where "healthy boundaries" end—and where scarcity, secrecy, or ego may begin.

This isn't a call-out episode—it's an invitation to look deeper at how we share, protect, and pass on spiritual knowledge. We talk transparency, reciprocity, cultural protection, and why some teachings are guarded for good reason.

In This Episode, We Explore:
  • Gatekeeping vs. Boundaries: How to tell whether someone is protecting themselves—or protecting exclusivity.
  • Scarcity and Insecurity: The hidden fears behind withholding teachers, tools, or lineage.
  • Reciprocity in Community: When sharing is medicine—and when it must come with respect and responsibility.
  • Cultural Protection: Why some teachings must be guarded to preserve tradition and fight colonization.
  • Business Spaces: What happens when entrepreneurs gatekeep strategy?
  • Personal Accountability: What to do when someone else's secrecy triggers something in us.
  • If this conversation stirred something in you, please share your thoughts on Instagram or leave a comment where you’re listening—your experiences help shape future episodes.
