In this eye-opening episode, I share an article that I recently wrote about my time in a spiritual cult, which I left in 2021. I share how ‘love and light’ can turn dark - including how truth-infused spiritual concepts combined with love-bombing and charisma can be masking coercive control, manipulation and narcissistic abuse.

I reveal the red flags to look out for, along with questions to ask to check if you are in a healthy community or harmful cult. Despite being less-than ten minutes long, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in spiritual groups, wellness communities, or those seeking a path of healing and even enlightenment. Whether you're curious, concerned, or reflecting on your own experiences, this episode offers clarity, validation, insight and hope.

The mind is a tool that we are meant to 'pick up' and use, and then 'put down' when we are done. But why do we feel compelled to overthink? Why does our mind race even when we want it to calm down? In this episode, we explore the hidden drivers of overthinking and why calming your busy mind isn’t as hard to achieve as you may think. You'll discover practical insights to quiet the mental noise and reconnect with more inner stillness, clarity and calm. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own thoughts - unable to put your mind down - this episode might just change the way you relate to your mind, for good.

Unresolved past trauma can massively impact our health, wealth, relationships, and success later in life. It can also impact our mindset and emotions today, and cause issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, self-sabotage, perfectionism and procrastination.

Knowledge is power, so in today's episode Sandy teaches what trauma is (because not every ‘bad event’ is a trauma) and how trauma impacts us - so you can recognise trauma in yourself and others, and be able to heal and move on free.
