"Die to yourself." "Offer it up." What happens when these phrases get tangled with woundedness? In this episode, we explore spiritual narcissism—and the path back to freedom through awareness, empathy, self-determination, and Our Lady.

Key Topics:

• Why "good advice" can sometimes feel silencing rather than supportive
• How being told to "pray more" can replace real listening
• The hidden ways love can feel conditional in spiritual spaces
