info_outlineHi, it’s Deb, In this episode of Spirited Straight Talk, Dana and I dive into a topic that touches every one of us - unconditional love. I’m talking about the real, raw kind of love that challenges us to heal… even when it hurts.
We talk about how ego sneaks into our relationships and how so many of us end up giving love with strings attached - without even realizing it. I share what I’ve learned over years of teaching and doing deep spiritual work: true unconditional love starts with being authentic to your soul… and letting others love you the only way they know how.
If you’ve ever felt like you give so much and get so little back, or if you’re healing from pain caused by someone you loved, this conversation is for you.
Let’s shift the story together. Let’s heal. Let’s grow.

In this episode, I talk about:
✅ Loving yourself even when others don’t know how
✅ How to break free from ego-driven expectations
✅ Healing from past wounds without needing validation
✅ Why your soul chose these challenges (yes, even that one)
✅ How to see others as souls—especially when they’ve hurt you
With love and truth,
Deb
