When stories like the Epstein files dominate the headlines, it’s easy to get pulled into outrage, certainty, and tribal thinking. But moments like this don’t just test institutions — they test us.
In this episode, I’m not breaking down allegations or chasing speculation. Instead, I’m using this cultural flashpoint as a stress test for our inner work. What do spiritual principles actually look like when the subject matter is dark, disturbing, and emotionally charged? Do compassion and non-judgment still apply? Or do they quietly disappear when things get uncomfortable?
We’ll explore the difference between grounded principle and reactive tribe-mind, how to tell whether your outrage is informed or emotionally hijacked, and what authentic spiritual responsibility really means in a chaotic news cycle.
If you’ve ever wondered whether spirituality holds up outside of retreats and safe spaces — this conversation is for you.
