In this episode of WE, Joe Mittiga dives into a powerful truth: spiritual growth doesn’t just change your life — it changes your relationships.

Joe unpacks the difference between enlightenment (becoming aware) and true spiritual growth (actually changing), and explains why the real relationship you lose isn’t always external — it’s the old version of yourself. As you shift from fear-based, “glass empty” thinking to heart-led, “glass full” living, your guidance system changes — and so does your world.

This conversation explores why growth can feel lonely and painful, how internal transformation reshapes your external relationships, and the grieving process of outgrowing who you used to be. Joe also breaks down the shift from a “me” mindset to a “we” consciousness, and why following your heart is the foundation of lasting transformation.

If you’ve felt disconnected, isolated, or like something inside you is evolving, this episode will help you understand why.
