2. Why Manifestation Culture Isn't It & How to Love More

Welcome back to Holding It Lightly with your hosts, Lauren and Brad! Today, we're excited to delve deeper into the captivating world of Spiral Dynamics in part 2 of our exploration.
We are also tackling why we think manifestation culture can put you on the wrong path, and that deeper love relationships can exist when you let go of the things you want and sit with the beauty of what you have and what you can give. 
Join us as we journey through the intricate layers of human development and consciousness, uncovering insights that shed light on our quest for joy and fulfillment. But that's not all – in this episode, we also delve into the intriguing dynamics of dating, mating, and relationships.
From exploring the subject/subject and subject/object perspectives to discussing the balance of light and dark, good and bad within relationships, we offer thought-provoking insights and practical advice for cultivating healthier and more fulfilling connections.
