  • Summary

  • In this 20th episode of Dysfunctional, I’m going in on everything that’s wrong with modern-day spirituality.

    This isn’t an anti-spiritual rant — I have a deep spiritual life myself — but I’m calling out what I see far too often: bypassing disguised as healing, whitewashed practices stripped of their roots, and a new wave of spiritual dogma that looks more like performance than truth.

    We’ll talk about the misuse of words like “Aho” and “Namaste,” the pressure to forgive even when it’s harmful, and how healing spaces are starting to feel more like exclusive clubs than grounded communities.

    And most importantly, I’ll share what I believe true spirituality actually is — messy, embodied, honest, and deeply human.

    If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in modern spiritual spaces, this episode might explain why.

    Let’s pull it apart together.
