The Insidious Side of Spirituality: Why Fixing Yourself Might Be Keeping You Stuck | Ep 42


Listen Later

Welcome back! This week, I’m diving deep into something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately—the journey of spirituality. Over the past eight years, I've explored this path in so many ways, but recently, I’ve started to wonder: Is there a downside to the spiritual, healing, and self-development work we’re all doing?

In today’s episode, I’m getting real and vulnerable with you. We’re talking about a topic that not enough people are discussing—can you actually lose yourself in the work? Is there a point where you might feel more distant from yourself than ever before? Because, let’s face it, everything in life is about balance. As we walk the path of self-love, spirituality, healing, and growth, it’s crucial to check in with ourselves and see where we stand.

Key Moments: 

  • What is love, really? How does it relate to sprituality
  • What gets in the way of love—like fixing, judging, or trying to force change on others.
  • My own experience with Church, Jesus, and spirituality, and how they intersect.
  • The trend of getting stuck in a loop of trying to "fix" ourselves, and how that might actually be pulling us away from love.
  • Why sometimes, instead of going deeper into healing, we need to choose to respond differently—take action—and how that can empower us.
  • What Jesus teaches about love, compassion, and helping those who are suffering.
  • New age spirituality's inward focus—what do I want to manifest, what traumas do I have to heal—and why that’s not enough if we don’t express it outwardly.
  • Knowing when it’s time to stop the inner work and start serving others.
  • The potential addiction to healing—how getting to the other side of trauma can feel good, but we need to find balance and not chase that feeling.
  • An invitation to slow down the healing process, let the universe guide you, and maybe, just maybe, let go of the need to “figure it all out.”

If you’ve been stuck in a loop, trying to fix something that doesn’t need fixing, this episode is for you.
