A spiritual psychology podcast to help seekers evolve without bypassing. The Conscious Revolution podcast educates and inspires you to advocate for your freedom and your individuality. In a culty society that is constantly telling us who to be, the Conscious Revolution invites us to cut through the cultural noise and choose authentic growth and conscious living. Change starts from within, but it doesn’t stop there. In other words, it’s not enough to consciously evolve--we must also actively resist and dismantle those undue social influences that want to hijack our evolution and distort us on our path. Get in, loser. We’re starting a Conscious Revolution!

This episode is the first of many on political awakening. Political awakening is the part of our spiritual awakening journey where we critically examine the sociopolitical, cultural, and economical zeitgeist of our time. This sets the stage for deeper inquiry into who we are, as we begin to define ourselves outside the social and political systems that infiltrate every aspect of our culture & consciousness.
Show notes & Breakdown:
5:09- My political awakening journey. How privilege makes us ignorant and politically disengaged (especially the Millennial generation)

15:54- The hate machine (a term coined by the Black queer community) & its threat to democracy
18:10- Feeling helpless, confused, lost, fearful, angry, despair? You’re not alone! I talk about alchemizing uncomfortable feeling states into sustainable, meaningful activism v.s. performative activism (and some crucial skills we need). Also: how to avoid activism burnout.
28:00- What is inner sacred activism from a nondual perspective?
35:00- What NOT to do (watch out for these ego traps!)
