Listen "#22 The Idols We Worship Pt. 3: The Cult of Healing"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when healing stops being human and starts becoming holy?In this episode of the Idol Series, we unpack how personal growth morphed into performance, how the pursuit of wholeness became its own religion, and why the wellness industry would rather keep you chasing than arriving. From curated vulnerability on Instagram to the high priests of self-help culture, we explore how “doing the work” quietly became a new kind of worship—and how healing, once commodified, starts to look a lot like self-harm.This isn’t a takedown of therapy. It’s a reckoning with the idols we make out of “becoming better,” and a call to return to healing that is quiet, messy, and ours.If you've ever felt like you’re never doing enough, even when you're healing, this one's for you.
