The Three Beliefs of Ego & the Truth That Sets You Free with Aaron Abke

What if sadness, anger, and fear weren’t problems, but sacred signals designed to lead you home?In this powerful and deeply resonant episode, I’m joined once again by beloved spiritual teacher and author Aaron Abke to explore the core teachings from his brand-new book, The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Surfer’s Guide to Freedom.Aaron shares the raw and vulnerable backstory of his own spiritual awakening... and how a two-week taste of "heaven" led to a crash back into ego and suffering that changed everything. From that journey came the discovery of the ego’s three core beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. And the realization that our emotional pain is actually a divine guidance system pointing to what’s out of alignment.Together, we explore how to alchemize suffering into spiritual clarity, and why the ego—far from being the enemy—is actually the teacher that helps us evolve.We explore:The three beliefs of ego and the emotional patterns they createWhy sadness, anger, and fear are roadmaps—not roadblocksHow awakening often intensifies suffering (at first)The ego as a divine tool, not a flaw to fixEmotional alchemy, spiritual embodiment, and the path to true freedomThis is a deep and tender conversation on reclaiming your sovereignty, meeting your shadow with love, and remembering the truth of who you are.🌀 Preorder Aaron’s book (releases August 12): http://aaronabke.com📲 Connect: @aaronabke | @michellesorro✨ Subscribe to Fire and Soul for more embodied truth and spiritual awakening every Tuesday.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Ashley Turner, LMFT — licensed psychotherapist, psychedelic therapist, and founder of the Metamorphosis Mentorship — to explore menopause as a sacred, psycho-spiritual initiation.Ashley shares her own journey through postpartum, perimenopause, and a Dark Night of the Soul — a season of identity loss, spiritual reckoning, and ultimately, radical rebirth.Together, we go beyond the physical symptoms to name the deeper truth of this time: a dismantling of old identities, a reclamation of feminine power, and an awakening into embodied leadership.Inside this conversation:The truth about perimenopause, menopause + postmenopauseWhy hormone therapy (HRT) saved Ashley’s life — and what she wants all women to knowWomb grief, hysterectomy trauma + healing our second chakraReclaiming feminine identity after the loss of cycle, libido, or societal “value”Why unhealed wounds from our Maiden years resurface at midlife — and how to meet them with graceHow psychedelic therapy is transforming personal healing and intimate partnershipThe rise of the wise woman — and why it matters now more than everThis is for the woman in the threshold.
