Developed as an extension of ‘Trusting Energetics As A Language (Bonus Episode)’, this episode seeks to shine a light on some of the ways in which love bombing and other forms of exploitative and manipulative control tactics have been employed by individuals cloaked as “spiritualists” within the digital and spiritual space whose intentions are to prey on those who seeking genuine spiritual refuge, assistance, guidance and more. 

Emily and Mimi, uncover some of the dangers that are a growing yet ever present reality for many in these spaces and highlight why love bombing should not be viewed exclusively from the romantic lens alone.

These exploitative strategies can be employed in other areas of human life such as in the service field and drawing on personal experiences Emily and Mimi shine a light on why further discourse and awareness is needed in an area that is largely unregulated. 

These two podders also reflect critical ethical considerations like the use of magic and spell work to “draw in” clients, fluctuations in business pricing models, the lack of regulation in a largely digital/spiritual space, and the ability for these individuals and entities to take shape and morph into new digital characters whenever they see fit. 

Does true healing come at a cost?
