Is non-monogamy really the higher path to spiritual awakening—or just another way to avoid commitment?
Lately, I’ve been watching a growing trend in the spiritual and wellness world that claims non-monogamy is a sign of higher consciousness, an enlightened way of loving that transcends the old, tired ideas of monogamy. Yet, so often, when spirituality merges with social media influence and unchecked ego, it becomes a smokescreen that leaves women doubting their own desires and boundaries.
Join me as I pull back the veil and invite you to remember that your boundaries, your voice, and your choice matter deeply. You don’t owe your evolution to anyone else’s journey.
As a woman who has been married for 28 years, I have explored these questions in my own relationship. I share honestly why I have chosen monogamy as my personal path—not out of rigidity, but because of the power and spiritual growth that comes from meeting yourself again and again with the same partner. And beyond my story, we talk about how this trend often leaves women with nothing but confusion, deep wounds, and a longing to be chosen.
In this episode, we explore:
The cultural narrative that non-monogamy is an evolved spiritual path
Why women are so often the ones “going along” to please a partner, despite feeling the sting of not being chosen
The power of monogamy to reveal every hidden part of yourself—and how that is its own sacred spiritual practice
The way our bodies speak up when we are in situations that don’t feel safe or aligned
How to honor your own desires, even when they don’t fit the latest trend or influencer narrative
The critical difference between choosing from power and abandoning yourself in the name of someone else’s idea of expansion
Building a foundation of self-love as the deepest trust you can offer yourself
If it resonates, please share it with another woman who might need this perspective today.
