This one dives deep into the shadow side of awakening—what happens when joy turns to grief, and the world refuses to hold your pain.If you’ve ever been shushed, scapegoated, or told to smile when your soul was screaming… this one’s for you.Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Summary by AI:In this raw, powerful episode, Robin speaks from the heart about her second major awakening and the deep betrayal that often follows spiritual enlightenment. After years of following joy-based teachings like Abraham Hicks—and even manifesting the life of her dreams—Robin was met with overwhelming shadow work, trauma, and a brutal psychic/spiritual breakdown. She now finds herself in a new chapter, where joy isn’t the focus—truth is.

She reflects on how grief and anger are pathologized in modern culture, especially among spiritual communities that reward performative peace and penalize emotional authenticity. Through deeply personal stories—like crying at an ecstatic dance or being shushed and even physically subdued by men—she explores how society refuses to allow women, and especially awakened women, to express rage or pain.

Robin draws on her own experience of being scapegoated and repressed, comparing herself to a soldier returning from war only to be judged by a smiling public. She challenges the pressure to perform healing and happiness, calling instead for a new form of sovereignty—one that honours the full spectrum of human emotion without shame.

Core Message:

“Don’t repress your shadow to stay palatable. Don’t let others define your healed state. Rage, grieve, and reclaim your power—even if it makes people uncomfortable.”
