Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

We are in this world to grow and evolve—but real growth only happens when we’re willing to confront where we’re wrong. The problem? Our ego is always working against us, convincing us that we’re right, keeping us stuck in old patterns, and stealing the energy we need to fulfill our purpose. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the many ways ego shows up in our lives: how it fuels anxiety, distorts our perceptions, and blocks our true potential.
