Join us for an elevated conversation as we explore the fascinating world of spirituality in the modern age, with a spotlight on toxic spirituality and the rise of spiritual influencers. In this episode, we unpack how platforms like Instagram have given rise to a new wave of influencers—some uplifting, others exploitative—shaping the spiritual narratives of today’s Caribbean, Latino, and first-generation American communities.
Drawing from personal experiences and authentic conversations, we highlight the importance of vulnerability and accountability in spiritual leaders. We also explore how unethical gurus can prey on those seeking healing and clarity, especially in black and brown communities navigating identity, faith, and cultural clashes.

Through thought-provoking insights and diverse conversations, we contrast the traditional roles of religious institutions like the Catholic Church with modern influencer culture. Our dialogue offers a realistic take on spiritual influence, pushing back on the idea that positive thinking alone can solve life's problems. Instead, we advocate for sharing life experiences, embracing emotions, and healing generational traumas as keys to overcoming life challenges.
We also tackle the delicate balance of providing emotional support—knowing when to simply hold space and when to step in with love and guidance. This episode is for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality grounded in community, culture, and self-awareness. Whether you're part of the Dominican community, African diaspora, or a community of like-minded people on a journey of growth, you’ll find this conversation both provocative and uplifting.
