“I’ve historically found value in a lot of Christine’s episodes, but I became so disappointed in how she started talking about Covid, vaccines, the 2020 election, and the global/American turmoil that has been happening without pause since Covid started. She seems to have taken a “neutral” stance on major national/global affairs….or, to my knowledge, hasn’t talked about most of these issues at all. Around the 2020 election, she said something to the effect of not understanding why Biden and Trump supporters can’t be friends anymore on a podcast episode??? This isn’t a debate about pizza toppings. One candidate actively desired to subjugate most of the population—anyone who’s not a white, Christian, straight man—while the other, while by no means perfect, espouses women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, anti-racism efforts, caring for the environment, etc. I’ve become so disillusioned by the “spiritual”/ personal development teaching that “there’s no such thing as right and wrong,” which Christine seemed to support, though maybe I’m wrong about that…or that it’s not “spiritual” to take sides. Actually, there IS such a thing as right and wrong, and, at some point, if people with influence aren’t willing to speak up and take sides (for example, mass shootings in America, Roe, etc.), that silence is implicit support for the oppressor….they’ve chosen their “side” even if not announcing that publicly…that’s how I’ve started to view almost all the leaders in the spiritual/personal development space. Most of them don’t seem to be willing to take a stand and “rock the boat.””
