I also talk about how the "not good enough" paradigm can prevent you from fully expressing and living your Soul’s purpose and stepping into your sacred service and work in this lifetime. We'll explore some...

How do we reconcile an injustice that we observe in the outside world with our deep spiritual knowledge that ultimately there is a divine order at play... and that the reality we're experiencing now is a temporary figment (or illusion) that we're all creating together? Are we meant to take immediate action when we observe a pain or injustice in the world? Are we meant to work on ourselves internally first, and/or WHILE we are taking action to correct these injustices? These are some of the...

Your ego self is the façade of yourself you have unconsciously and inevitably created as a consequence of living in a society, in a family, in a particular human culture. This ego self is a protective construct; a version of ourselves we create in order to blend in, to be accepted by others, to be liked, to be seen as worthy or valuable... and most of all, to not stand out or be kicked out of the tribe. Your ego is, therefore, concerned with your survival and with how you come across to...

Being in a state of victimhood is NOT FUN. It can be extremely challenging, painful, and difficult to get out of -- especially since it's an unconscious state of being. By virtue of living in a human family, society, and culture, we're often conditioned or taught (unconsciously) to use victimhood to bond with others, to get sympathy or care, or to lower others' expectations of us. In this episode of Inner Work, I talk in depth about what victimhood really is, how and why we might get stuck...

We all inevitably grow up with and internalize certain cultural beliefs and assumptions. These can include beliefs about life, family, relationships, the world, ourselves... as well as cultural standards about physical appearance, money, success, and what we "should" do or be to fit in. These beliefs can truly limit us or cause suffering and stuckness in our lives. As you walk your path of awakening, it's important to question the cultural beliefs and assumptions you've taken on...

As humans, we can take things so personally. Even things that are petty, innocuous, or not personal at all. In this episode of EVOLUTION, I share some ideas for how to begin taking things less personally so you can maintain your inner peace, sanity, and well-being. (And improve your relationships with other humans!) I also talk about how it's your EGO that takes things personally, gets offended, gets defensive, and wants you to prove you're right. An important antidote to this is to stay...

At the same time, we want to make sure we're not doing this compulsively, or as a form of spiritual bypassing or escapism.
