40: the fear of success

Soul Salon with Ayandastood

today's soul session is a spiritual perspective on why you fear your own success.

if you're like me, you are both drawn to and repelled by your dreams. they are at once enticing and terrifying. in today’s soul session we explore a paradoxical fear that many of us face whenever we confront our dreams and desires. but in the typical style of this podcast, we are going to unfold a deep and spiralling web of ideas such as:

• What do God/source/the universe have to do with the fear of success?
• Why do we associate power to evil?
• How can we separate toxic/destructive examples of power from loving/constructive versions of it?
• Why is nature the answer to reclaiming our power? AND...
• My own experience with cultural grief and shame

I hope you enjoy today’s soul session. stay tuned for more, and if you feel called to, please share it with a friend or your community. i love you ✨💛
