Ep40 - Healing or Harming? The Shadow Side of the Spiritual & Wellness Space

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by my good friend Mikayla (the.raw.sol) for a real and raw conversation on the shadow side of the spiritual and wellness space.

We dive deep into how these spaces — while often healing, expansive, and sacred — can also carry manipulation, bypassing, blurred boundaries, and misuse of power. We share our personal experiences navigating spiritual communities, what we’ve learned about discernment, and how to reconnect with your inner compass when things don’t feel right.

We also unpack the now-viral Aubrey Marcus post about opening his relationship to a second woman, and discuss the ways spiritual language and “divine truth” can sometimes be twisted to justify ego centric motives, or uphold power dynamics that are at the end of the day harmful to those who are putting these people on a pedestal.

This one is juicy, thought-provoking, and a little controversial — but it’s a necessary conversation for any woman to hear, who is walking a path of healing, awakening, and personal empowerment.

If you’ve ever felt confused, manipulated, or unsure in a spiritual or self-development space, this one is for you. And if any thoughts, your own experiences or opinions arise, we would love to hear from you and chat deeper - you can send either of us a message on Instagram!
