Episode Summary
Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome to Beyond the Belief.
I feel like so much of the spiritual conversation I see is about shutting the ego down—telling it to be quiet, making it the enemy, and jousting with it as if it’s something to be annihilated.
But what if that entire belief is what’s causing us so much struggle?
What if our ego isn’t our foe, but our friend?
This exact topic was a profound key to my own awakening. When I first read Michael A. Singer’s The Untethered Soul and truly grasped the idea that I am not the thoughts in my mind, my entire world transformed. I realized that I am the observer, and that voice—aka the “monkey mind,” the narrator—is something else.
That something else is the ego. And as my Guides have shared (and as Dolores Cannon taught), we need an ego to be here on Earth to experience what we came to experience: emotions and limitations.
In this episode, I want to offer a gentle invitation to see your ego in a new light. We’ll explore what its true “job description” really is (hint: it’s for practical grounding and execution, not planning or intuition!). We’ll talk about two game-changing metaphors that helped me finally understand: the “nosy neighbor on the corner” and Bashar’s brilliant “diving mask.”
This is not about banishing your ego. It’s about pulling a chair up alongside it, learning how to use it as the powerful tool it was designed to be, and reclaiming your sacred role as the loving, conscious architect of your life. 💜✨
Why You Should Listen
This episode is a sanctuary for you if you’re ready to end the inner battle.
Join me to discover:
Why trying to “shut down” or “kill” your ego is actually creating more struggle, and what to do instead.

What is the Beyond the Belief Podcast?
Have you ever paused to truly contemplate the beliefs that shape our world, and perhaps even our very being? Many whisper their truths, or absorb the perspectives of others, yet rarely do we journey deeper. Here, we’re not just listening; we’re gently stepping beyond the surface of what’s known, into the (often) mystical realms of understanding.
In each episode, I invite you to join me as we explore a belief—it might be a widely known concept, a forgotten truth, or perhaps even one that feels entirely new or deeply contested. The wisdom shared may come from channeled messages directly from my Guides, from others’ intuitive taps, from key learnings gleaned from my QHHT® practice, or even from my own insatiable curiosity, reading, and studying practices.
Sometimes I’ll share my contemplations solo, inviting you into a quiet corner of discovery. At other times, I might pull out my iPad to sketch out concepts, share messages on camera, or simply connect with you through the podcast mic. And often, I’ll invite incredible guests to join our dialogue, as we collectively unravel perspectives and illuminate new understanding.
This space is a sanctuary for exploration, a place to absorb, listen, and learn with an open heart. We’re shedding the heaviness of “right” and “wrong,” and ascending into the lightness of greater connection and expansive knowledge. Each episode is a precious opportunity to find those little gems of wisdom that help you re-weave your own tapestry of truth.
