Is the Wellness World Making You Sick? The Uncomfortable Truth About New Age Spirituality | Ep 30

from Conscious Conversations · host LanaRose

In this very unfiltered and very honest episode, Conscious Concierge sits down with spiritual mentor and trauma-informed guide Zack Alexander to explore what no one wants to talk about out loud which is -  the shadow side of the wellness and new age spiritual world.You know you can always trust your girl to GO THERE! We talk about the misuse of spiritual authority, the danger of untrained “healers,” spiritual psychosis, chronic illness as initiation, and the quiet unraveling of the guru complex.Together, we ask:What really makes someone qualified to hold trauma?Why are so many spiritual spaces secretly bypassing the very emotions they claim to heal?How do we build an ethical, grounded wellness industry rooted in truth and safety not performance?Zack shares his raw story of walking away from a top law school, surviving a four-year mystery illness, navigating a destabilizing spiritual awakening and ultimately becoming the kind of guide he wished he had.This isn’t another love & light interview LOL. This is a very deeply and uncomfortably honest look at the ins and outs of the new age spiritual healing sphere.WE COVER:The collapse of the “Instagram Guru” paradigmWhen healing turns performative and how to tell the differenceSpiritual psychosis and the dark side of awakeningThe failures of both mainstream AND alternative medicineHow illness can initiate your path — if you let itWhy we need structure, regulation & accountability in the healing/spiritual world ASAPBuilding community over hierarchy in the healing spaceIf you're navigating your own awakening, stepping into healing work, or questioning the spiritual space altogether - this conversation will meet you there.🌿 LEARN MORE: Conscious ConciergeWebsite: https://www.yourconsciousconcierge.comInstagram:   / yourconsciousconcierge  Subscribe for more honest conversations on the spiritual, conscious, wellness, healing world that are not afraid to go there. Subscribe for more.
