What if your ego isn’t the enemy—but a necessary part of your spiritual journey?
In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of the human experience: the ego. So often in the spiritual world, we hear that we need to “kill the ego” or “rise above it,” but the truth is far more nuanced—and powerful.
We’ll unpack the true nature of the ego, exploring both its shadow aspects—like control, fear, and pride—and its light—the parts that drive our creativity, connection, and growth. I’ll share why the ego isn’t something to be eliminated, but integrated. When we demonize it, we miss the opportunity to actually understand what it’s trying to show us about ourselves.
We’ll also talk about the very real consequences of living out of alignment with our true nature, the spiritual disconnection that so many feel, and how reconnecting with both the divine and your full humanity brings healing, clarity, and peace.
This is an honest, heart-opening conversation that invites you into a more balanced, empowered relationship with yourself—ego and all.
Tune in and let’s walk this path to wholeness, together.
