In this episode, we’re diving deep into a dynamic most of us have experienced but rarely name: what happens when your grounded, sovereign energy triggers someone else’s spiritual ego.
Whether it’s feeling anxious or “off” around certain teachers you admire , or noticing yourself wanting to over-explain, prove, or help others uninvited — this conversation exposes the sneaky ways performance energy, validation-seeking, and blurred energetic boundaries show up… even in the most “spiritual” circles.
We explore:
⚡ What spiritual ego actually looks and feels like (hint: it’s not just arrogance).
⚡ How grounded energy can polarize others when they’re still operating from distortions .
⚡ The dynamics of receiving or giving unsolicited advice and how to check the energy behind it
⚡ Why you might feel weird, small or anxious around certain leaders even when you respect them
⚡ The shadow of wanting to prove your worth through your “knowing” or teachings
⚡ How to return to discernment, sovereignty and deep energetic clarity in any interaction
This is an honest reflection for anyone in the spiritual, coaching or personal development spaces especially if you’ve felt the subtle power plays, awkward energy exchanges or internal distortions within yourself or others.
Tune in to learn how to hold your truth without triggering your own or others’ distortions and why groundedness is the true flex!
