In this solo episode, I explore Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) through a compassionate and consciousness-based lens—going beyond clinical definitions to look at the deeper patterns beneath obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

We’ll unpack how the negative ego fuels perfectionism, control, and fear—and how awakening the positive ego can restore self-trust and inner freedom. I also share reflections from my personal journey, along with grounding paradigm shifts, affirmations, and tools to support healing.

Whether you live with OCD, love someone who does, or simply struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or overthinking—this episode offers gentle insight, spiritual grounding, and permission to let go of the need to be “perfect.”

✨ Highlights:

• The spiritual and psychological roots of OCD
• The difference between negative ego and positive ego
• How Kundalini Yoga can support or trigger OCD tendencies
• Reflection questions and affirmations for shifting patterns
• A reminder that you are not your thoughts—and you are not broken

I'm also taking interviews currently (Summer 2025) for people who have struggled with OCD, in particular Scrupulosity. Please reach out and we can chat about a potential interview for the podcast. Thanks and Sat Nam, Namaste everyone!
