What if the most radical move right now is not to power through, but to come home? In this episode, we (me + my inner teacher) return to the mic with a clear, tender, and unsparing look at spiritual bypass, the long shadow of 2020, and the courage it takes to rebuild from love instead of fear. After stepping back from teaching, trainings, and the public eye, I explore the terrain from free fall to a steadier ground and name the idea that changed everything: an aspect of us never left. That is the center we can trust.And this is A Return to Center.We walk through the difference between performance and practice, why “only love is real” isn’t a slogan but a daily discipline, and how thoughts become things when left unexamined. Drawing from Ashtanga Yoga and A Course in Miracles, we unpack core teachings—like “this is a required course” and “I don’t have anything that you don’t have; I just don’t have anything else”—to show how self-realization is less about adding and more about subtracting what blocks the signal. Along the way, we honor mentors who brought rigor to the work and share the messy truth of relationships, career shifts, and identity resets when forms change but essence remains.You’ll hear a practical framework for discerning love from fear, tools to slow down and choose again, and an invitation to train attention until clarity becomes default. Think of this as a compassionate reset: original intelligence over noise, presence over projection, integration over inspiration alone. If you’re craving grounded spirituality, daily practices, and a path that welcomes grief and grace with equal honesty, this conversation is a homecoming.Subscribe, share with a friend who’s ready for A Return to Center, and leave a review with one choice you’re making from love this week.
