In this episode, Mat and Ash get real about how their belief in manifestation, the law of attraction, and "the secret" left them broke, deluded, and resentful of their human experience. They discuss the ways in which new age spirituality can create an unhealthy avoidance of finances, making it difficult to build wealth and stay grounded in reality.

Other topics they discuss:

• The effects of being broke on their relationship and mental health
• The trauma of poverty and how it triggers the fight or flight response
• The delusions they fell into with new age beliefs, including the idea that they were above money or that money wasn't important
• Whether or not they still identify as yogis and spiritual seekers, and why
• How they recovered their finances by reframing their spiritual understanding and finding a healthy balance between spirituality and practicality
• Resources and tips for listeners who want to get their money right and heal their relationship with finances

Tune in to The Inner Work Podcast for an honest, eye-opening discussion about the dangers of new age spirituality and the path to true abundance.
