Competition, Comparison, and Our Inner Genius with Ashley and Lair Torrent - Episode 40

In this episode, Ashley Torrent, psycho-spiritual therapist and intuitive medium, and her partner Lair Torrent, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Practice of Love discuss the pros and cons of competition and comparison. Our culture teaches a “win at all cost” attitude but in the final analysis, we find out it actually steals our inner genius. Ashley Torrent is a psycho-spiritual therapist, intuitive medium, and spiritual teacher. She sees both individuals and couples, offers intuitive readings, teaches classes in spiritual mediumship, and is the co-host of The Blue Butterfly Effect Podcast which aims to ground spirituality and explore personal transformation. Ashley believes that as spiritual beings we are all mediums, channels, and energy healers but we have forgotten our true nature and how to use these innate gifts. She also believes based on her personal experience as a complex trauma survivor and practitioner that true healing occurs when we weave together psychological understanding and spiritual practice.
