unlearning toxic shame through sacred sp...

Mollie Adler
About this episode

In this guided experience, you’ll walk through an original five-part rite designed to help you become aware of the inherited language that shapes your internal world. Together, we dismantle the phrases, metaphors, and speech patterns that encode toxic shame into the psyche, often without your consent. We explore the esoteric, psychological, and ancestral architecture of language. You’ll learn how speech becomes structure, how grammar shapes emotion, and how internalized phrases (from parents, religion, school, or culture) form a script that governs your identity, even after you’ve outgrown the systems that created it. This rite is a full-body experience. You’ll be invited to pause, breathe, speak aloud, and reflect. We’re not here for feel-good self-help in this one, folks. Our goal is deprogramming.


Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:


• Why shame operates as a linguistic system, not just a feeling

• How early speech from family, culture, and religion becomes internal law

• What ancient mystery schools and modern metaphysics teach about the creative power of language

• Why speech is considered magical (and how spells are cast through everyday phrases)

• The role of sacred silence in disrupting inherited scripts

• How to identify and release phrases that were spoken into you but do not reflect your essence

• How to begin building a personal lexicon that reflects presence, coherence, and soul truth

• Why figures like Hypatia of Alexandria still matter for anyone reclaiming their voice today


You’ll also be guided through a five-part rite of passage:


Preparation: Naming the intention and stepping into presence

Naming the Tyranny: Surfacing inherited phrases and speech patterns

Marking the False Authority: Releasing internalized language through voice and breath

Silence: Holding space to let new structure emerge

Reclamation: Speaking from alignment, and anchoring a new lexicon of self-language


This is a ceremonial episode. Come to it with presence and ready to speak aloud. Come to it if you’re tired of hearing your inner voice repeat someone else’s fear.
