Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - A series with Alyse and Robyn

What if the mentor you trusted to elevate you was actually the one holding you back? Spiritual leadership should empower—not manipulate. It’s time we talk about what happens when coaching crosses the line.
In this eye-opening new series, I join Robyn McKay for a raw and vulnerable conversation about a toxic coaching experience we both went through—along with other women in our industry. This is the first of a series of episodes where we unpack the red flags, manipulative tactics, and unethical practices that took place, and how we finally broke free.
In this first episode of the series, I take the guest seat and share my experience and POV with coach "Betty". I share how I found myself in a high-control mentorship dynamic, what made me question my own judgment, and why it took time to fully recognize the emotional and psychological impact of this experience. We explore the power imbalances, coercion, and gaslighting that often go unnoticed in spiritual coaching spaces—and how to spot them before they cause harm.
This series isn’t about blame—it’s about education, empowerment, and healing. If you’ve ever felt manipulated or misled in the coaching world, or if you want to learn how to navigate mentorship with discernment, this conversation is for you.
