Consequences

I wasn’t punished. I was released.
This final episode isn’t about revenge—it’s about revelation.

About what I saw, what I survived, and what I reclaimed.
I talk about the lies, the sabotage, the gaslighting… and the karma that follows.
But most importantly—I talk about the power I walked away with.

Because growth has consequences too.
And the truth? It always returns home.

Psychological Manipulation

In this episode, we’re unpacking the insidious world of psychological manipulation—a tactic many have experienced but few can fully name until it’s too late.

 

Whether it shows up in romantic relationships, family dynamics, or the workplace, manipulation leaves a lasting impact. I break down common manipulation tactics, how to spot the signs early, and share my own experience navigating a manipulative environment.

If you've ever second-guessed your intuition around someone’s behavior, this episode is for you.

This week, we continue our deep dive into the spirit of jealousy and envy—but this time, through a more personal lens.

 

I share some of what I’ve been navigating, including the impact of toxic leadership and how jealousy can fuel harmful behaviors—especially in environments where power is misused and accountability is avoided. We also explore how to protect yourself from jealous individuals and guard your own spirit against falling into jealousy.

 

This episode is raw, real, and necessary. Know your enemy!

Spirit of Jealousy

We’re starting strong with a real conversation on jealousy and envy—two emotions that often hide in plain sight.

Whether you've been on the receiving end or have felt these emotions yourself, this discussion is all about awareness, growth, and truth.

Handlers

Welcome back, Bloomer!

 

This week’s episode sheds light on a topic many experiences but few name—handlers. These are the people who move quietly but deliberately, monitoring your every step, often disguised as friends, family, or coworkers.

 

We’re diving into the energy of familiar spirits and the subtle control tactics used by those who aim to manage, manipulate, or muzzle you. It’s time to start identifying who’s really in your corner—and who’s just keeping tabs.

Empathy Burnout

Welcome back, Bloomer!

 

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that many of us carry silently: empathy burnout and compassion fatigue. Whether you're just beginning to notice the emotional exhaustion or have been coping in silence for a while, you're not alone. These experiences can drain even the most resilient hearts—and it’s time we talk about it.

 

Join me as we explore what it truly means to be in this state, how it shows up in our lives, and ways we can begin to heal.
