There’s a dark undercurrent running through the spiritual coaching world—one that’s rarely talked about but deeply felt. It’s the shadow side of “high-frequency” spaces, where manipulation, financial coercion and psychic control are disguised as devotion and ascension.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the veil on spiritual abuse, cult dynamics and the toxic misuse of "light" as a weapon. I’m sharing my personal experience of walking through it, the psychological framework that helped me name it (the BITE Model) and the exact ways these patterns show up in modern spiritual mentorship.
If you’ve ever felt shamed for questioning a leader, pressured into investing beyond your means, or told that your doubts were “just resistance”—this conversation is for you.
We’ll cover:
🔹 The 4 pillars of cult-like control: Behavior, Information, Thought & Emotional manipulation
🔹 The subtle red flags of false light leadership
🔹 Why urgency, secrecy and spiritual jargon are often control tactics
🔹 How to discern safe, sovereign mentorship from coercive coaching
🔹 Steps to reclaim your power, clear energetic implants and trust your intuition again
This is a permission slip to break free. To name what happened. To trust what you felt. And to remember: your power was never the problem—the system that taught you to fear it was the lie.
If you found value in this episode, I’d love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review. And as always, if you feel called to dive deeper into your spiritual path or business alignment, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Join me inside the Sacred Wealth Sanctuary for deep healing & energetic reclamation.
With unlimited love & abundance,
