Have a question or comment? Send it to Kristin!“The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.”In this episode, I sit down with Leola, tantra teacher, bestselling author, and host of Talk Tantra To Me, for a conversation that gently roasts manifestation culture, flirts with devotion, and asks an interesting question: What if desire is how God speaks to us?We explore:- Why your desires are rarely about the thing (sorry)- How control issues are often just trust wounds in a trench coat- The difference between egoic craving and soul-level longing- Why “manifesting harder” might actually be anxiety in lingerie- How surrender doesn’t mean giving up — it means giving over- God as lover, leader, and the one who may lovingly wreck your vision board- Why the body is still the most avoided spiritual teacher in the room- And what happens when you stop seducing outcomes and start seducing truth...This episode is for you if..- You’re tired of forcing things to happen- You secretly suspect desire isn’t the villain- Your vision board needs a gentle exorcism- Or you’re ready to trust something wiser than your egoIt’s deep. It’s funny. It may lovingly call you out. Listen if you’re ready to stop begging the universe & start having an honest conversation with it.🎧 Press play.
