In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener email that asked this question: What happens when a decision on your spiritual journey hurts someone else? We'll dive into the topic of making tough choices on your spiritual path, when you know those choices will likely upset, hurt, or disappoint someone else. Join me for a discussion on: why it's so critical for you to live your truth and follow your Soul's calling, and how it hurts you and everyone else when you don't do this how to be more ok with disappointing others as you continue awakening how you can live authentically without abandoning yourself while still being a compassionate human the importance of detachment in close relationships (especially family relationships) Thank you to Diane for submitting this thought-provoking question!
