10. When “Everything Happens for a Reason” Stops Being Enough

What happens when a spiritual belief that once helped you survive no longer feels true? 

In this episode, I trace my gradual disentanglement from the frameworks that shaped my spiritual life—from growing up in an unconventional spiritual place of worship, to immersing myself in past-life regression and New Age spirituality, to eventually questioning one of the beliefs I had clung to most tightly: that everything happens for a reason and is always for our highest good.

For years, that belief helped me make sense of suffering, psychic upheaval, heartbreak, and profound uncertainty. But it also became a way of bypassing pain I wasn’t yet ready to feel. When life finally forced me to confront the role of free will—and the possibility that some painful things are not divinely orchestrated lessons—my worldview began to unravel.

What followed was devastating, but also deeply liberating.

This is a conversation about spiritual bypassing, the human hunger for certainty, the beliefs we use as life rafts, and the freedom that becomes possible when we stop outsourcing truth to a doctrine. I share what “post-spirituality” means to me, why relinquishing certainty has brought me closer to the sacred, and how questioning our beliefs can restore our inner authority without requiring us to abandon mystery, guidance, or meaning.

Disentanglement is not about replacing one rigid worldview with another. It is about becoming sovereign enough to hold paradox: painful things can happen without being for our highest good, and we can still be guided, supported, and capable of creating meaning from what comes next.

If you’re beginning to question the beliefs, identities, and frameworks that once held your life together, download the free Sovereign Human Pathway. It will guide you through your own process of disentanglement so you can release what no longer feels true and return to the authority of your own inner knowing.
