About ALMOST ENLIGHTENED; Healing, Humour and High Standards
Almost Enlightened is your regular dose of soulful real talk. Where inner growth meets high standards and humour. It is a podcast for the spiritually curious, emotionally intelligent, and slightly sarcastic. Hosted by Rachael Carter, an end of life Soul Doula® and Wellbeing Coach for highly driven souls who are done with the hustle and ready for depth. Expect voice-note vibes, real-life stories, and reflections on healing, purpose, love, loss, and holding boundaries with grace (and sometimes a little sass). Because enlightenment might be the goal, but we’re taking the scenic, human route.
005 - The Truth Will Set You Free (but it might gaslight you first)
“Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.”
Ah yes, the quote that launched a thousand passive-aggressive Instagram posts.
In this episode, I’m talking about how some spiritual “truths” can go from comforting to completely confusing, especially when they’re used to explain away real trauma, betrayal, grief or illness. Spoiler alert: No, your dodgy spine isn’t because you weren’t thinking positive enough. And no, Karen, I didn’t manifest betrayal because I didn’t clear my throat chakra.
We’re digging into how these beliefs (when taken too literally) can mess with your relationship with yourself, and even worse, your relationships with others. Because nothing says “healthy friendship” like being told their behaviour is your own fault, right?
So if you’ve ever been spiritually shamed while grieving, blamed for someone else's behaviour, or felt like you must have bad “vibes” because your life fell apart, this one's for you.
Let’s get real, get honest, and sprinkle a little humour over the woo-woo. Because inner peace doesn’t mean pretending everything’s fine while your life’s on fire.
