What happens when the spiritual path meant to help you find yourself begins teaching you to surrender your own judgment?

Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes clinical psychologist, Buddhist meditation practitioner, and author Dr. Nicole Wordlawfor a candid conversation about spiritual authority, inherited beliefs, and the subtle ways we learn to give away our power.

Drawing from her book, Waking Up Alone: Navigating the Narrow Passage Through Master-Slave Narratives, Nicole shares her personal experiences with spiritual teachers, the internal beliefs that kept her questioning herself, and what it means to reclaim inner authority.

Together, they explore the difference between wisdom and conditioning, why awakening doesn't eliminate pain, and how genuine self-trust can coexist with uncertainty.

What if awakening isn't about becoming someone better, but learning to stop abandoning who you already are?
