The New Age Sage Podcast

They taught you love was a chase.A performance. A transaction.Give enough. Look good enough. Stay quiet enough.And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be worthy of staying.But what if everything you learned about love was designed to keep you disconnected from it?This isn’t a relationship advice episode.It’s a full-blown unraveling of the illusion.In this transmission, I reveal how the matrix rewires love into ego, how both men and women are conditioned to use each other in the name of intimacy, and why porn, power, and performance are all just the ego’s tools to keep you afraid of real connection.If you've ever felt like love is confusing, unsafe, or out of reach, this is for you.Not to fix you.But to wake you up.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

They say they’re healed. But if you look closely, you’ll see it — the mask.In this episode, I dismantle the illusion of “being healed” and explore the subtle ways spiritual performance hides unprocessed pain. From personal missteps to relationship blind spots, I share the difference between real inner work and the ego’s favorite costume: enlightenment.You’ll learn how to spot false healing, how to hold yourself and others through shadow work, and why true healing has less to do with being perfect — and everything to do with how you show up after the fall.This is not about being fixed.It’s about being honest.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

So many of us confuse love with proving. We fall into the trap of making the person we love jump through hoops to earn what should be freely given. Why? Because a part of us doesn’t feel safe. A part of us still believes love will disappear, and we’d rather control it than risk losing it.In this episode, I expose how “testing love” is often a trauma response in disguise. I walk you through the psychology of abandonment wounds, the shadow that fuels mistrust, and why your nervous system might be sabotaging the very thing your soul is craving.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

This episode is for anyone who has ever asked themselves, am I being loved for who I am or for what I do?In this episode, I sit down with Sacred Thomas to explore the invisible weight we carry when we tie our worth to performance. We talk about growing up in survival mode, the pressure to succeed, and the fear of being a burden. We unpack avoidant and anxious attachment, the wounds we bring into love, and the path to feeling safe enough to stay open.If you are building something that matters, in your work or your relationships, this episode will meet you where you are. It is a conversation about healing, creating, and becoming the kind of person who can hold what you are asking for.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever found themselves in a fight with the person they love most — and walked away wondering, why did we just do that?You’re not trying to hurt them. You’re trying to protect yourself. But in that moment, something deeper takes over — a wounded part of you that turns love into a battlefield. And suddenly, it’s not about connection anymore. It’s about being right. About not losing.In this episode, I break down the Warrior Lover — an archetype that lives in all of us. The part that’s willing to fight for the relationship, not against it. I share the painful moment that led me to this realization, what it taught me about masculine presence, and how the ego quietly hijacks even our most sacred connections.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the weight of love start to slip through their fingers, even when everything should be working.You’re in love. You’ve chosen each other. But something keeps pulling you apart. The arguments feel meaningless. The distance feels unexplainable. And no matter how much you talk about it, the same patterns keep showing up.In this episode, I explore the deeper spiritual mechanics behind relationship disconnection. From karmic loops and family trauma to anxious and avoidant patterns, we dive into why so many sacred unions are tested just before they expand. I also share my own story, and how I had to face the hidden wounds that kept recreating the pain I swore I’d never repeat.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the veil on one of the most painful — and illuminating — experiences we can have in love: being entangled with a narcissist.We’re taught narcissists are just selfish and manipulative, but that’s only the surface. The truth? A narcissist is a wounded child hiding behind a mask of power — and empaths, in their deep sensitivity, often mistake that mask for strength.This episode is a raw, unfiltered exploration of the empath–narcissist dynamic: why we attract it, how we mistake charm for love, and what it really takes to break free.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most misunderstood truths about love: neediness isn’t weakness — it’s misdirected truth.For most of my life, I thought having needs made me unlovable. So I hid them, twisted them, performed around them. But every time I chased validation, pulled away to get closer, or fished for love in subtle ways... I wasn’t being needy. I was being unseen — mostly by myself.This episode is a raw exploration of what happens when we stop apologizing for our emotional needs and start owning them without shame. I unpack how unspoken needs become manipulation, how childhood wounds shape adult relationships, and why expressing what you really want is the most courageous thing you can do in love.If you’ve ever felt too much for wanting closeness — or not enough when you need space — this conversation will show you the path to intimacy that actually heals.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most seductive lies in the spiritual and dating space: the idea that you need to “be more feminine” or “more masculine” to attract real love.I used to believe it too. I studied the books, practiced the polarity scripts, tried to become the perfect masculine man. But the more I performed, the emptier I felt. Until I realized: the real reason it wasn’t working wasn’t because I wasn’t doing it right. It’s because I wasn’t being me.This episode is a raw, unfiltered reflection on how sexual polarity has become another spiritual costume. I share the truth I’ve lived into: that love doesn’t come when we master roles — it comes when we drop them.If you’ve ever felt like you had to become someone else to be loved... this episode will bring you home to yourself.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

In this episode, I go deeper than I ever have. I finally uncovered the root cause behind why we keep attracting the same partners and repeating the same pain, no matter how much trauma work or therapy we do. It's not just about childhood wounds or inner child stories.It's about the illusion of identity itself. I share how I broke free from the ego, what it means to become pure awareness, and how realizing "I am nobody" changed everything in love, in life, and in how I see the world.If you’re tired of chasing healing but still attracting chaos, this is the truth you’ve been waiting for.———————00:00 - Intro01:01 - Why therapy awareness alone doesn’t heal you03:34 - The energetic pattern behind failed relationships06:49 - The ego is the character you believe is real09:32 - Consciousness is the blank screen behind the story12:19 - You are not real, only awareness is13:52 - The ego creates your karma16:00 - Escaping the matrix means realizing you don’t exist18:37 - Karma dies when you realize there’s no you21:04 - What it means to become God22:20 - Silence is louder than thoughts23:38 - Becoming divine changes how you treat others25:14 - Psychedelics show the ego is not real26:56 - Why depression is just a story28:25 - The ego can’t survive in the present moment30:02 - Burn karma by staying in the now33:07 - Even sparring is a mirror of unity35:34 - Why empathy is telepathy36:43 - Give grace a chance38:35 - The ego is the devil, awareness is the light40:49 - You are God, when you stop adding stories46:14 - Final thoughts———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.
