Resentments rot the container they’re in. Taking responsibility for my resentments is the most liberating gift I can offer myself. In this episode, I give a thorough introduction to the resentment work I do. I explain what resentments actually are, and give examples of how I work through them. I talk about the victim mentality, and why blaming others always absolves us from taking responsibility for ourselves, keeping us stuck and unhappy. If you can’t seem to manifest the relationships or things you truly desire, I highly suggest you listen to this episode.

Episode breakdown:

• I begin by explaining the difference between anger and resentment.
• It can be hard to detect and admit our resentments to ourselves. It’s much easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for working through our resentments/upset.
• When we see ourselves as a victim, we absolve ourselves of all responsibility, marinate in self pity and seek attention from others.
• The victim mentality is extremely disempowering, causing us to remain stuck and believe the world is treating us unfairly.
• I explain why harbouring any form of resentment will block us from manifesting our desires, and will instead attract more of what we don’t want.
• If I am judging someone, I surely have resentments towards them.
• Resentments and judgements cut us off from other people. They create a wall of separation that can give us a false sense of safety.
• When we hold onto resentment towards someone, we are energetically chaining ourselves to them. In resolving our hurt, no matter what it was, we set ourselves free. This process is a major part of all 12 Step Recovery programs.
• I share what (real) forgiveness means to me.
• The majority of the resentments we might carry around for decades, are petty in nature.
• I explain why I try not to judge anyone’s behaviour as wrong.
• When I work through my resentments effectively, taking responsibility for myself and my expectations of other people, I become free to fully love the people in my life, without strings attached.
• I explain why most resentments have an underlying fear.
• There is nothing more liberating than taking responsibility for my resentments! When we do this work, we shift into an energy of love and gratitude and begin to attract all the things we deeply desire, including more intimate relationships with our loved ones.

Manifestation is a very popular concept that draws a lot of attention from spiritual seekers. In this episode I aim to give you a realistic understanding of how manifestation actually works. I’ll share the wonderful things I have manifested and how, and I will spend time exposing “manifestation coaches” who haven’t actually manifested their wealth, but have made money off very vulnerable individuals… beware of the scam!

Episode breakdown:

• I first encountered the term “manifestation” on Instagram, a few years into my spiritual journey. After a brief period of interest, I realised that “manifestation” and spiritual coaches on Instagram were not useful to my spiritual journey and a distraction from the steps I needed to take.
• I explain why getting what you want is unlikely to bring you long term happiness, if what you want is not in alignment with your soul’s true purpose.
• My true desires were gradually revealed as I progressed in my spiritual journey and uncovered my authentic self. No “manifestation coach” will tell you this because it would ruin their business model.
• People in emotional pain are often drawn to “quick fixes”. The manifestation business attracts and takes advantage of very vulnerable people by offering them a “quick fix” and taking their money. There is no such thing as a “quick fix”, period.
• BEWARE of Kathrin Zenkina aka “Manifestation Babe”. She is a business and marketing expert. There is no proof that she can manifest anything.
• An important question when deciding whom to learn from is “Does the tree bear fruit?” You can not answer this question about someone based on their social media presence! Social media is ALWAYS curated. You can always choose what to show or hide from your audience.
• I share many of the amazing things I have manifested so far, including my boyfriend, my friends, jobs, and my home in Berlin.
• For me, manifesting works by getting into alignment with God/my Higher Power’s will for me. In this way I am able to live true to my soul’s path and as a result I naturally receive all the things I need to progress on my spiritual journey. Happiness results from getting what I need, not what I want.
• I share the tools I use to get into spiritual alignment, and break down the essential requirements in order to manifest lasting, long-term happiness and freedom.
• You will manifest what you TRULY believe. If you don’t truly believe something to be true, you can not manifest it. You will continue to manifest what you truly believe, like it or not.
• The 12 Steps are deeply mystical in nature. Through the process of recovery I naturally shifted from a state of lack to abundance.

7 months ago my friend Andrew joined a 12 Step program for food addiction and has since lost 50kgs (and counting). In this episode he vulnerably shares his decades long experience with food addiction, how his food addiction impacted his life, what caused him to finally seek recovery, and most importantly: how it’s going so far! We share our experiences with food obsession and dieting, and how we ultimately needed different approaches to experience food freedom.

Episode breakdown:

• Andrew’s first memories revolve around food. His parents used food as a way to give love. As a result, he understood that “food = love” and developed a kind of “intimate” relationship with food, eating and bingeing in his bedroom.
• Andrew needed food to get through the day. He describes feeling such intense overwhelm and dread, that he needed food to self-medicate and survive.
• He talks about the shame he felt around his food addiction. He ate in secret and would go out of his way to discreetly dispose of food wrappers and packaging.
• We talk about willpower and why despite being able to quit chain-smoking, drinking and drugging, Andrew was not able to control his food intake.
• Andrew shares how his food addiction and associated morbid obesity impacted his health, his life, his bank account and his interpersonal relationships.
• He sees no difference between himself and a drug addict, only that food addiction is more socially acceptable.
• Andrew tried everything to lose weight. We talk about our experiences with dieting, calorie counting and intuitive eating.
• Andrew shares what happened during his final attempt at calorie counting. After losing 20 kgs in 2 months, he realised he was just as sad, lonely and disgusted with himself as he had been before, and even more angry and irritable. He regained all the weight he lost and was finally able to see the insanity of his food addiction.
• Now in recovery for food addiction, Andrew’s life no longer revolves around food. He follows an “abstinent” meal plan and paradoxically experiences total food freedom.
• Once his obsession with food was removed, Andrew began to feel all the grief he had suppressed with food over the years. He shares how the program supports him to work through overwhelm, fears and everything else that comes up.
• Andrew shares how his quality of life has changed drastically in the last 7 months. I share the changes I have witnessed in Andrew.
• We discuss the lack of awareness around food addiction in our society, and why the commonly taken approaches such as diets, injections and surgeries won’t help suffering addicts.
