In today’s episode, I’m opening up a two-part series that has been living inside me for a long time: The Dark Side of the Light Chasers.
This is for those of us who are meant for big things — the seekers, the healers, the visionaries, the ones who genuinely care about being the best version of themselves. And because of that… we can easily fall into a sneaky patterns that no one really talks about.
The endless healing loop. The pressure to be spiritually perfect. The belief that there’s always something to fix. The feeling of being “almost ready” but never quite enough.
In this episode, I’m talking about how the ego can dress up in spiritual language, how our self-growth becomes another form of self-judgment, and how easy it is to confuse “working on ourselves” with reinforcing the idea that something is wrong with us.
This is an honest, grounded conversation about what happens when the path of healing becomes heavier than it needs to be — and how to recognize that moment where we stop chasing the light and start remembering: we already are the light. I can't wait to dive in!
