Description: Send us Fan MailSomething is happening in the spiritual community right now — a wave of tarot readers and intuitive practitioners are publicly walking away from their work, finding God, going viral. In this episode, Matilda looks at what's actually underneath that: the burnout that's real and under-acknowledged, the clinical reality of spiritual psychosis that almost nobody in this space will name, and the algorithm that profits from crisis content regardless of whether the crisis is genuine. Then she brings it closer to home. Because underneath the public collapse of any identity built on being right or being the guide, there's a quieter version of the same thing happening in all of our lives — the need to be right in our relationships, the distances we've built out of pride, the people we've quietly left behind to win an argument.This episode closes with a guided meditation on meeting your own ego — where it lives in the body, what it's protecting, and who it might be costing you.It is better to be there than to be right. Sometimes that's the hardest lesson of all. 🎧 New episodes every week💬 Join the conversation in Connected — link in bio TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Cold open03:00 — The pattern: tarot readers turning to God07:00 — Burnout in public spiritual work11:00 — Spiritual psychosis — naming what nobody will16:00 — The algorithm of crisis19:00 — What it does to you, the follower22:00 — The pivot — ego in everyday life26:00 — Ego vs integrity: who benefits from being right?30:00 — The cost of needing to win34:00 — The common thread37:00 — What evidential practice taught me about being wrong40:00 — Guided meditation: meeting your ego47:00 — CloseLive Event BendigoAre You Listening Workshop - connect with your guidesZoom Mediumship DemonstrationMatilda's WebsiteSocial Media LinksPatreonSupport the showSupport the show
