What happens when a space built around healing, connection, and “community” becomes tangled in ego, competition, control, spiritual bypassing, and straight-up snake oil? In Episode 02 of Dragon Fireside Chats, Erin Ryan and Madame Creatrix are chatting about the shadow side of the spiritual world. From toxic mentors and cult dynamics to unsolicited psychic readings, $500 “curse removals,” scope of practice, consent, neurodivergence, and the danger of trying to heal what was never broken in the first place, we’re talking about the things spiritual practitioners desperately need to be talking about. But this isn’t just a roast around the dragon fire. We’re also asking what real community care looks like. Referring clients to someone better equipped. Knowing when someone needs a therapist instead of a spell. Creating neuro-inclusive practices. Continuing your education. Holding clear boundaries. Supporting other practitioners instead of treating them as competition. And caring about the wellbeing of your community whether or not they ever pay you. Because community isn’t a customer list. It’s an ecosystem. And if the kind of spiritual community you wish existed isn’t here yet? Be the spark. 🔥 Hosted by Erin Ryan & Madame Creatrix
