It’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when witnessing the atrocities currently unfolding in our world. It’s also easy to give in to external pressures, like those on social media, and conform to expectations that encourage us to mistreat each other. In this episode, Elizabeth dives into performative activism, platform policing, and embracing the sacred power of curiosity.

She also discusses how to respond to and approach these issues with humility and an open mind, much like that of a loving parent, so you can access genuine curiosity in line with your soul’s wisdom. Imagine how different the world would be if our capacity for reverence was larger than our capacity for despising things? What if we could approach those who hold different perspectives than us with an effort to understand instead of jumping to anger and judgment?

As we navigate the major events happening in our world, it’s so important to take moments to celebrate our personal victories and reflect on the progress of our healing journey. In this episode, our guest Michelle Durst shares her story on addiction and codependency recovery. She talks about the valuable lessons she has learned throughout her process that have led her to spiritual strength and support.

In our conversation, we discuss the discomfort of pursuing our desires, how staying in a harmful relationship can reflect our own unwell state, and the importance of self-awareness when making choices. We also touch on managing feelings of regret and transitioning from being a victim to embracing self-love and acceptance.

Today, we are joined by Sara Kassem – a healer, therapist, and dear friend, for a vulnerable conversation on humility and self-forgiveness in a spiritual healing journey. Sara opens up about her challenges with relinquishing control while accepting the healing process and shares how she shifted from a self-blaming and self-reliant paradigm to one of self-acceptance and welcoming love and support from others.

Throughout the episode, we explore the relationship between a spiritual connection and accessing humility, how to release your shame, the difference between intention and impact, and why it’s important to embrace mistakes to learn from them. Sara highlights the role of forgiveness and seeking truth in humanity and offers advice for reclaiming your authentic energy – regardless of what those around you may think.
