Summary
2025 wasn’t a punishment year — it was a preparation year.
In this episode of Spiritual Shit, I break down why so many people felt cracked open, exhausted, and stripped of old identities in 2025 — and why that breakdown was necessary for what comes next.
This year forced a shedding: people-pleasing, fear of being judged, silencing yourself to belong, and waiting for permission to speak. Not because you were doing it wrong — but because the version of you that hides can’t carry the light you’re meant to bring forward.
We talk about:
Why fear of being seen is the biggest block to intuition
How your external voice and inner voice are directly connected
Why intuition doesn’t get louder when you think more — but when you express more
How losing approval rewires self-trust
Why the people who struggled most in 2025 are often the ones meant to lead, create, speak, and illuminate next
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve stopped caring what others think — not because they’re numb, but because something truer is finally emerging.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Spiritual Shit. I'm your host, Alia Lovely. |
| 0:06.2 | Today is, I would say, maybe a channeled message, but the lingo of that really agitates me |
| 0:13.7 | lately. I am in a space of not wanting to adhere to normative language in the way that we speak about |
| 0:25.2 | spirituality. And the fluctuation of what I enjoy or am interested in or am questioning or |
| 0:36.4 | curious about has really done a dozy on me this year. |
| 0:43.1 | And I know you haven't heard from me as much as you had in previous years. |
| 0:48.8 | And that's because this year I was going through an extraordinary shedding. |
| 0:53.9 | And I've decided that in the new |
| 0:57.8 | era of what I choose to bring to the table is a call and message for those who feel called to |
| 1:07.9 | serve in some way, this collective. And I don't mean in the sense of like we're here to |
| 1:13.2 | heal everybody, we're here to overfunction, we're here to overperform, we're here to give our |
| 1:19.2 | gifts out and so on. I mean, for those who are here to really acknowledge and embody the divinity |
| 1:26.4 | of the light they are in totality. In this density of this |
| 1:33.0 | frequency, of this realm of the earth that we live in, are you willing to really embody your |
| 1:41.7 | divine light? I think that for a lot of us, we have gone through such a deep |
| 1:48.6 | shedding process this year that we're kind of, you know, wondering at the end of this year, |
| 1:55.4 | where does that leave me? What is it I'm to do with this new information, with this new version of |
| 2:02.7 | self? I know for myself, I've gone through several identity crises where I worked on three |
| 2:12.1 | months of new branding, a new name, a new podcast, a new website, all to come down to the idea of that, wait a minute, |
| 2:22.5 | I feel like I'm running from something. I'm trying to shed without integrating what has brought |
| 2:29.8 | me to this place and to this point. And so what I would like to kind of encourage you with, I guess, today is this aspect of shedding, |
| 2:43.0 | acknowledging and integrating the South. |
