Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic

medium, and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no

bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.

My darlings, I want to thank you for joining me for another week of Ghost of a Podcast.

This week just so happens to be episode number 100 of this tiny little independent podcast.

I thank you for joining me for 100 episodes. What? Yeah, a lot of episodes. So this week

I'm going to answer a question from somebody called Guilty Privilege, and they said,

I come from a family with money and I feel immensely guilty and shameful for it. I try

to live with a generous spirit, but I feel like I am not doing enough. I am extremely

grateful for my circumstances, and I know that it's important for me to give as much

as possible away. But how do I release these patterns of guilt and shame that I am holding

on to? Plus, plus, plus, thank you for everything your podcast brings me so much joy. And Guilty

Privilege was born December 2, 1995 at 738 PM in Boulder, Colorado. So this is such an

important question. I'm so glad that you asked it. And first of all, I want to say that

there's two really important levels of this. One is guilt and shame. And the other is

responsibility, right? Because when we have privilege, whether we're talking about class

privilege or any other kind of privilege, it's power. And in order to be able to use our

power effectively and sustainably, we need to get out from underneath the grips of shame

and guilt and all that kind of stuff. Because ultimately shame and guilt are an obsession

with the self. There are too much self reference in a way that actually doesn't support you

in living your best life. And I don't mean that. And I'm like, I'm wearing these shoes.

I'm living my best life. But I mean really, truly on a soul level, living your best life.
