Summary

This episode is pretty controversial—I’m breaking my silence about “guru culture.” For years, I’ve been quiet about the deeply disappointing truths that were revealed about two different “gurus” that I followed. In this episode, I’m speaking out. I'll share why you should avoid “gurus” and teach you how to return to love when trust has been broken.   The following are helpful resources and books I mention within the episode:  In You Are The Guru, I teach you how to be your own guide and trust your inner wisdom to give you clear direction.   Want even more support? I created the Miracle Membership to help you design a spiritual practice you can stick to—so you can feel connected, supported and inspired every day.  Click here to join. http://bit.ly/3Xp1VQi If you need additional support, please consult this list of safety, recovery and mental health resources.

I'm about 17 and a half years sober at this point. And if it were not for my sober recovery,

of being able to be in the service of others and work with dozens of organizations and share
