You ever find yourself spiraling over something someone said—or didn’t say—and suddenly you’re convinced they meant something awful... even though they were just asking a question? That’s not intuition, babe. That’s your unhealed shit trying to direct the show.

In this episode, Suzanne gets down and dirty about projection: what it is, why we all do it, and how most of us have no idea we’re doing it in the moment. Whether it’s a friend’s compliment, a partner’s comment, or a stranger’s tone—sometimes we’re not responding to reality, we’re responding to old-ass wounds dressed up in modern clothing.

We get into why projection actually feels so real, how to tell when you’re doing it, and what to do instead (hint: it involves not being a dick to yourself or others). Funny, honest, a little sweary, and totally human—this one’s for anyone who’s ever whispered “omg same” while mid-spiral.

This week, it’s not about blame. It’s about waking up, laughing through it, and gently calling yourself out with love.

Because yeah—you might be projecting. And that’s okay. You’re in good company.

Welcome to this 2-parter of Suzanne's “Asking for a Friend” series here in The Spiritual Shitshow podcast where she brings in therapists, ministers, artists, content creators, and other amazeballs humans to chat about how to get through the shitshow of healing and awakening.

We’re back for Part 2 of this mind-and-soul-expanding convo with the radiant Rev. Linda Jackson of Cityside Spiritual Community in Chicago, and y’all… this one goes there.

In Part 1, we introduced a powerful framework called the Four Aspects of Consciousness—originally created by Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith and adapted in Rev. Linda’s coaching and spiritual teachings. The framework maps four distinct stages of experiencing life: To Me | By Me | Through Me | As Me

We walk through each aspect and Rev. Linda gives Suzanne a mini counseling sesh, and what unfolds is an honest, beautiful, and hilarious conversation.

In this amazing convo, they get into how the aspects show up in our lives, what it feels like to move from reaction to responsibility, and how to stop trying to push and control our journey and ambitions and allow Spirit to spirit.

Linda brings her signature grounded wisdom, explaining each stage with clarity and compassion, and they laugh their way through a few truth bombs.

If you’ve ever felt like your growth isn’t happening fast enough—or like you’re doing it “wrong”—this episode is a deep exhale. Come for the wisdom, stay for the coaching, and leave with a new way to see where you are on the path.

Let’s get into it.

Welcome to another installment of Suzanne's “Asking for a Friend” - a recurring series in The Spiritual Shitshow podcast where Suzanne brings in therapists, ministers, artists, content creators, and other amazeballs humans to chat about how to get through the shitshow of healing and awakening. Together, they dive into the big, messy, deeply human questions we all wrestle with. She’s not asking for herself, she’s asking for a friend. You’re the friend.

​It's a special two-part​er of Suzanne's Asking for a Friend with the wise, hilarious, and soul-shaking Rev. Linda Jackson of Cityside Spiritual Community in Chicago!

In this deep-dive conversation, we explore what it actually means to grow—both spiritually and psychologically. Because you can quote Rumi all day, but if you’re still projecting your unresolved trauma onto your coworkers… are you really evolving?

In Part 1, we introduce a powerful framework called the Four Aspects of Consciousness—originally created by Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith and adapted in Rev. Linda’s coaching and spiritual teachings. The framework maps four distinct stages of awakening: To Me | By Me | Through Me | As Me

We start at the very beginning—the “To Me” stage—where life feels like it’s just happening to you. Victimhood, blame, powerlessness, and pain all live here… but so does the invitation to wake the hell up. Rev. Linda and Suzanne unpack this emotional terrain with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of compassion.

Whether you're knee-deep in your own "To Me" moment or revisiting an old one with new eyes, this conversation will help you feel seen, validated, and maybe even a little less alone on the ride.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the shift into “By Me” consciousness—and what it means to become an empowered creator of your life.
