Ep. 13 - When Spiritual Standards Become Unattainable [Part 2]
In this session of the Honest Sanga, Mamu and I go deeper into the rarely discussed topic of guilt tripping and unrealistic standards in spiritual communities. We explore the inner turmoil devotees face trying to fit rigid expectations, and the importance of authentic spiritual progress that meets people where they're at.
How do we move forward when a guru's instructions conflict with who we are? Is mental health ignored and bypassed in the name of just chanting and being happy? An eye-opening talk about embracing humility on the winding path of spiritual progress.

Ep. 10 - Spiritual Detox: Why Rejection is Necessary for Spiritual Growth
hoosing the right spiritual circle matters.
In today's episode, I thought to dive a little deep into the raw truth about rejecting for spiritual growth. We're often led to believe that everything within our circle is flawless, while everything outside it falls short.
But that's a dangerous illusion that can turn us into 'yes-men,' leaving us vulnerable to manipulation.
Tune in as we explore why rejection isn't just okay—it's necessary for your spiritual growth. ✌️

Ep 2 - Devotional Bypass - Using Spirituality to Neglect Your Problems
Spiritual bypassing is more common in our communities than you think. Have you ever used spirituality as a way to avoid dealing with your personal issues?
Usually, people who spiritual bypass have some kind of unresolved trauma in their past, or they’re dealing with some kind of difficult life situation that they don’t want to face.
In this episode I talk more about spiritual bypassing, and why we need to be honest with ourselves by dealing with their issues head-on, instead of avoiding them.

Ep. 1 - This is how Perfectionism Ruined my Life
Perfectionism has been ruining my life and I don't want the same to happen to you.
Perfectionism is actually a form of self-sabotage that can prevent you from achieving your goals and living a fulfilled life.
This belief makes us think that if we just try hard enough, we can be perfect.
This may sound like a good thing, but it's actually a harmful mindset. Why? Because it leads us to believe that we're never good enough and that we have to keep striving for an impossible standard.
Tune in to find out how this way of thinking is harmful to our spiritual practice and what we can do about it.
