There is a miracle that has resided within you from the beginning, which was designed to support you in reclaiming your truth. Simultaneously, there have always been people and systems in place to undermine you from claiming it. So much so that when we actually have the courage to face our truth, it has been often deliberately misconstrued as weakness. Yet when you don’t buy into that narrative and instead allow this miracle to work through you, through all the challenges that come with gaining self-gnosis, you are rewarded with even greater love, self-trust, and ease. But because this kind of power is difficult to control, it’s vital to become aware of the ways authoritarian systems work to keep you from trusting yourself.
There’s a story that has been woven into our society that comes with a deep and horrific cost. This is the story of a woman’s nature and regardless of your gender, this impacts us all. Because the stories we believe about how we are innately created, impacts how we treat ourselves and allow ourselves to be treated.
This is a call to recognize the ways we, as women, have been made to believe that you are fundamentally broken, that your heart cannot be trusted, and that worthiness must be earned. Long before we could question it, many of us absorbed a story about ourselves from our relationships, to our choices of what we feel we are worthy of, and the way we respond to our own mistakes.
What kind of spiritual person wouldn’t want to consider themselves good? The concept of “good” is an interesting one, because in our minds, if we aren’t good, we must be bad. And spiritual people work very hard not to be bad — at least not intentionally.
But here’s the thing: when the ego gets attached to anything, including being good, it can mean doing what others will approve of rather than fully following our truth. And that’s where things get sticky, because the ego will do its darnedest to keep that hidden from us. It will tell us that our neutrality is good because it keeps the peace — and it won’t let us recognize the harm that neutrality is actually causing.
In this powerful follow-up to Part 1, we go deeper into one of history’s most overlooked stories — how power has quietly shaped the spiritual traditions billions of people hold sacred. Through my own faith journey, I came to recognize that what most of us were taught is only part of the picture, and that the missing pieces change everything. If you’ve ever sensed a tension between the faith you were raised in and the truth you feel in your heart, this episode will give language to something you may have known for a long time.
For a long time, I hid behind something that felt virtuous — the belief that being spiritual meant I didn’t have to engage with the chaos of the world around me. In this episode I get honest about the three ways that belief left me genuinely naive, and how the moment I stopped trying to keep myself safe inside that identity was the moment everything shifted. Because being spiritual was never meant to be a refuge from the world. It was meant to give you the clarity, the courage, and the compassion to show up for it — imperfectly, honestly, and with your whole heart.
