#51 | Healthy Community or Harmful Cult? Former Spiritual Cult Member Reveals the Red Flags | With Sandy

In this eye-opening episode, I talk about my time in a spiritual cult, which I left in 2021. I share why the community was a positive and beneficial experience for years, and how ‘love and light’ can turn dark - including how truth-infused spiritual concepts combined with love-bombing and charisma can be masking coercive control, manipulation and narcissistic abuse. 

I reveal the red flags to look out for, along with questions to ask - to ensure that you are in a healthy community and not a harmful cult. Despite being less-than ten minutes long, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in spiritual groups, wellness communities, or those seeking a path of healing and even enlightenment. Whether you're curious, concerned, or reflecting on your own experiences, this episode offers clarity, validation, insight and hope.

#44 | Peace on Earth… With a Twist! | With Sandy

Today I challenge three common assumptions people make about how we can create 'peace on earth'. I argue for why it's necessary to feel negative emotions (wait, what?!), and question our assumptions about how peace can be achieved in our relationships and in the wider-world. Yes, if we all managed to find 'inner peace' then 'peace on earth' would be much more likely, but what if peace is not found in the ways we've been taught?
