When Trusting Yourself Means Questioning Your Teacher

EP 03: When Trusting Yourself Means Questioning Your Teacher

What happens when the person teaching you to trust yourself doesn't like what happens when you actually do?

In Episode 3 of Divinely Unhinged, Paige Luna explores spiritual narcissism, ego, mentorship, spiritual superiority, accountability, self-trust, and what happens when spiritual language starts protecting someone from being questioned.

This isn't about diagnosing strangers or attacking spirituality. It's about a much more human question: What happens when the ego learns spiritual vocabulary well enough that we stop recognizing it as ego?

We get into mentor/student dynamics, blurred authorship, power, discernment, moral licensing, communal narcissism, energetic intuition, and the difference between loving someone and staying available for an unhealthy dynamic.

Because someone can be gifted and still have blind spots. Someone can help you and still hurt you. And love does not require blindness.
