This week, we are discussing how men and women take different paths to reach their highest selves. While traditional spiritual teachings emphasize dissolving the ego, this approach was largely designed for men, who naturally lean toward confidence, independence, and risk-taking. Women are often conditioned to be selfless and accommodating, making their spiritual growth more about building a strong sense of self before they can transcend it. We’ll dive into neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom to explore why men’s path is about surrender, while women’s is about self-empowerment. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt disconnected from traditional teachings, this episode will help you find an approach that truly aligns with you. Let’s break free from outdated conditioning and step into our full potential. Enjoy, xxx!
