145. The Second Spiritual Awakening: What It Is & Why It Isn’t Universal

September 23, 2025·36 min·3 clips

Gabrielle shares why her second spiritual awakening has been the hardest year of her adult life.

Hosts Gabby and Brianna, both spiritual business owners, record during a "spicy" mood influenced by eclipses and menstrual cycles. This episode focuses on Gabby's personal experience of a second spiritual awakening over the past difficult year. She frames this as a non-universal phase distinct from a first awakening. Gabby explains a second awakening involves having spiritual tools but facing intense "psychological death," grieving former selves like her corporate identity. She describes it as constant shadow work requiring trust in the unknown, akin to jumping into a dark pool. Her psychic gifts heightened, increasing sensitivity and necessitating limits on social time. The process revealed which friends and mentors could not hold space for her depth. Gabby notes every psychic prediction she received from others this year was inaccurate, which she finds significant. She observed greed in the spiritual community, where some prioritize money over helping people. Her own relationship to money changed, depleting savings while she committed to a year of shadow work. Gabby's business and offerings transformed as a reflection of her consciousness. She identifies root chakra work as central to this awakening, grounding spiritual gifts in earthly survival. The experience clarified her values, making her critical of high-priced readings given current economic struggles. Gabby contrasts the first awakening, marked by confusion, with the second, where one consciously chooses to trust repeatedly. She critiques some veteran psychics who revert to Christianity, viewing it as avoidance of shadow work accountability. The episode concludes with her hope for renewal after August's difficult purge and her decision to lower reading prices to prioritize help over profit. The tone is raw, confessional, and unfiltered, with candid swearing and personal frustration. The style is a conversational monologue from Gabby, punctuated by Brianna's humorous, "spicy" interjections about the heat and local malls. Listeners interested in the gritty, non-glamorous side of running a spiritual business or navigating intense personal transformation would appreciate this. Those preferring polished, purely educational content or who are uncomfortable with strong language and personal venting might skip it.
