A powerful 5-question litmus test to know when a relationship can evolve with you—and when it’s time to lovingly release it.

Welcome to The Mystic & The Skeptic, the podcast where spiritual awakening meets real-world relationship dynamics.

🌟 In this episode:

What if the bravest thing you can do… is walk away?

We explore the emotional, energetic, and spiritual crossroads many face during awakening—when you’re no longer sure your relationship can grow with you. You’ll learn a powerful 5-question litmus test to help you discern:

Is it time to stay, or is it time to go?

🌀 We cover:

1. Why “love” isn’t always enough to sustain a spiritual partnership
2. How to tell when compromise becomes self-abandonment
3. The fear of letting go vs. the courage to evolve
4. What it means to choose truth over comfort
5. Navigating this path without blame, shame, or judgment

This one is deep, honest, and a lifeline for anyone questioning their relationship during spiritual growth.
