Fake Spirituality EP 41

Spirituality is meant to hold us, heal us, and guide us toward our highest potential. It promises clarity, transformation, and connection to something greater than ourselves. But what happens when this sacred path becomes a detour—an escape from the very life it was meant to enrich? In today’s world, where spiritual teachings spread at lightning speed through social media, it’s easy to become lost in a maze of practices, teachers, and ideologies. And while many offer profound wisdom, some can lead us away from growth and deeper into illusion—especially when used to avoid the real, messy work of being human. Join me as I shine a light on the shadow side of spirituality—the ways it can turn from healing force into harmful bypass. Together, we’ll explore how to discern whether your spiritual path is truly supporting your life, or quietly disconnecting you from it. In this episode, I’m talking about: How spirituality, like medicine, can heal or harm—depending on how it’s used. The red flags that your spiritual journey has turned into indoctrination or avoidance. How to recognize if a teacher is embodied and authentic—or leading from unhealed wounds. Why true spirituality doesn’t ask for your obedience, but guides you back to your own power. The difference between performing spirituality and living it—how real transformation shows up in your relationships, wellbeing, and purpose. Embracing your human experience as sacred—aging, change, and imperfection included. Why resisting life is not the path—and how showing up fully for every moment is the greatest spiritual act of all. If you’ve been longing for a space to celebrate all of life—the joy and the heartbreak, the beauty and the mess—I created Magnetic for you. This is more than just an event. It’s a sacred gathering for women around the world to reclaim their power and step into the fullest version of themselves. You’ll find all the details below. I can’t wait to meet you there. Spirituality was never meant to pull us away from life. It was meant to deepen our experience of it. Let’s begin.
