What happens when Father's Day triggers deep emotional wounds about control, rejection, and religious programming? In this raw, vulnerable episode, I invite you into my unconventional Sunday worship experience that happened not in church pews but poolside, where I confronted three lifelong triggers that have haunted me from childhood.
The journey begins with recognizing how these triggers—financial scarcity, self-hatred, and control as a coping mechanism—represent places where our old energetic patterns clash with our emerging authentic selves. As the energy on Earth shifts dramatically, these triggers surface with increasing intensity, creating what feels like "static" or "steel wool" sensations in our bodies.
Rather than running from discomfort (my usual pattern), I share how sitting with these feelings led to a profound spiritual breakthrough. The heat of transformation flowing through my body, followed by the coolness of the pool water, became a powerful metaphor for understanding how my intense energy affects others and how I can better calibrate my approach to relationships.
This episode challenges conventional notions about worship, suggesting that authentic spirituality often happens outside traditional religious structures. Through tears, movement meditation, and ultimately complete vulnerability (yes, literal nakedness before God), I discovered that transformation comes not through maintaining control but through surrendering it entirely.
Whether you struggle with religious programming, father wounds, or simply the discomfort of personal growth, this episode offers permission to explore unconventional pathways to healing. True freedom emerges when we stop running from our triggers and instead allow them to teach us who we really are beneath the programming.
