Spirituality vs. Religion and The Importance of Power

In this episode, we explore the sacred space between sorrow and surrender. Grieving the past—whether it's lost time, painful relationships, or unmet needs—isn't a sign of weakness, but a courageous act of reclaiming your truth. We also dive into what it really means to detach with love: letting go of people, places, and patterns without bitterness, while still holding onto compassion.This isn't about forgetting the past. It's about honoring it without being held hostage by it. Join me as we walk through the healing path of inner child work, emotional boundaries, and self-forgiveness.
