This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, we’re exploring a subtle but powerful force that often shapes our inner world without us even realizing it. Idealism.

While it might seem noble to hold high ideals, for ourselves, others, or the world, idealism can sometimes take us out of the present moment and into a version of reality that doesn’t exist. When we cling to how things should be, we often suffer from the gap between that vision and what actually is in reality.

Idealizing people, relationships, or outcomes can disconnect us from our intuition and cause us to miss the deeper wisdom available in real-life situations. Whether it’s expecting a partner to act a certain way, believing that we must live up to an impossible spiritual or professional standard, or feeling crushed when the world doesn’t meet our ideals, the result is often disappointment, frustration, and a subtle form of self-rejection and self-judgment.

In this episode, we’ll uncover how to recognize idealism when it shows up, how to gently come back to grounded reality, and how to make peace with what is, without giving up our hopes or values. Sam will share some very personal stories to highlight this. It is not about settling, it’s about living from truth instead of illusion. Listen in and learn how letting go of perfection can actually bring more freedom, clarity, and genuine fulfillment to your life.

Tune in and share your own thoughts and feelings about how you have idealized life on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.
