See that Queen there?
Yea, She’s done treating healing like homework and inner work like a chore.
In this episode, I talk about why I traded self-help for fiction and how play, pleasure, and artistry became the most potent spiritual practices of my next evolution.
Healing and inner work doesn’t have to be heavy to be real. It changes. It shifts. It evolves like we do.
It just has to be honest and true to you.
In this episode, I get into:
- Healing through pleasure, not pressure
- Why shadow work shouldn’t be a full-time job (especially when you're integrating it!)
- The hidden toxicity of “always improving yourself” and never feeling "done"
- Letting your next level come through play, artistry, and expression
- The sneaky performance trap of inner work and spiritual healing on social media
- What it actually means to heal from overflow not survival
- And why sometimes...you just need to put down the damn self-help book
If you’re thinking healing means you always have something to fix, this episode will shift that perspective.
Healing isn’t always about going deeper. Sometimes it’s about going lighter.
And yes reading fiction can absolutely be a spiritual practice!
Let this episode be your permission slip to stop micro-managing your growth and let it happen naturally.
