S3:E2 - Should spirituality and healing be turned into a business?
In this episode I cover how leaders can get lost when they turn spirituality and healing into a business. From tiered healing programs that capitalize off ‘Spiritual Bouj’ and plant medicine ceremonies, to always outsourcing healing as something you constantly have to search for. When we get addicted to ‘shadow work’ we forget that we are made of the light and have the ability to heal on our own. I share my experience at events like this, what I learned and how it felt to be vulnerable and then pitched a program when my internal wounds were brought to the surface to bleed out. Healing and spirituality are good, but when it turns into a money making machine we can lose the plot quickly.
Welcome to the Armed & Anointed podcast with Ashley Russell. This podcast has been a labour of love and as I come through what has been quite the adventurous growth journey, my goal is to help support you in yours. Both your personal and business journey’s so that we can evolve into the leaders this world needs. Leaders who spread light that’s felt on the other side of every interaction in their life and business, so we can be armed and anointed to impact the people who need us. We are the ones who use our businesses to build Kingdoms that serve others, instead of castles that serve ourselves.
