Spiritual Awakening and Relationships: Why Waking Up Can Break Everything Apart | Nico Canon | Ep 21
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 21 of Conscious Conversations, I sit down with Nico Canon — mentor, guide, and co-founder of Ayahuasca Colombia — to explore some of the deepest questions on the spiritual path.
We talk about:
What spiritual awakening truly means (beyond the glamorized idea)
The terror and beauty of shedding old identities
What grounded spirituality looks like in daily life
How desire can blur into entitlement — especially for men with power, status, or money
The role of romantic relationships as mirrors for our own healing
If you’ve ever wondered:
👉 Why awakening can feel like everything is falling apart
👉 How to stop chasing peak experiences and embody what you’ve learned
👉 Why integration is the real work
👉 Or how relationships reflect the places we still have to grow
This conversation is for you.
