Show by Psychics Not Saints

In this episode of Psychics Not Saints, Ainslie MacLeod and Bryan Grijalva explore how control shapes our relationships, our fears, and our sense of freedom. From the story of Mexican independence to personal experiences with abuse, authority, and powerlessness, they unpack why people stay in controlling situations, how we can become our own worst abusers, and why sensitivity and self-trust matter. The episode also features a new round of “Love and Light, My Ass,” challenging the belief that suffering means you must have done something in a past life. Ultimately, it's a conversation about compassion, reclaiming your agency, and finding the courage to build a plan, seek support, and choose freedom.Key TakeawaysOld souls crave freedom; some younger souls prefer being told what to do.Pushed far enough, people fight for their independence.Mexican independence began with second sons who couldn’t inherit.Control triggers past-life fears of authority and powerlessness.Powerlessness can sound defiant or look like resignation, until it flips.Control can be subtle, like praise only for good marks.Parental pressure can push people into careers they later outgrow.“I should have left sooner” isn’t fair; many things keep people stuck.A plan, support, and expert advice make leaving possible.Sometimes we are our own worst abuser.Accepting harm as “just how it is” keeps us stuck.Suffering is never punishment for a past life.In This Episode:[00:45] Introduction[01:27] Ainslie is still sick, and Bryan is a flight away[02:18] Today’s topic[04:10] Mexican independence and San Miguel de Allende[08:16] The “revolution of the second sons”[11:01] Ignacio Allende, a small man with a big will[12:54] Mexico today: universal healthcare and a female president[14:12] The Mouse That Roared and the two past-life fears triggered by control[18:44] Bryan on his Catholic upbringing and the teacher who called his gift evil[23:09] Ainslie on recognizing abuse late, and the moment the mice start roaring[25:18] Subtle control in families, and the MBAs who want to be artists at 40[27:02] “If you could have, you would have”[28:11] Why people stay, and why not to beat yourself up[29:28] Making a plan and finding support[31:11] Spirit guides’ advice: knowledge is power[32:02] When we are our own worst abuser[32:41] The past-life phobia of judgment, narcissists, and self-criticism[34:29] Collective resignation and the pesticide revolution[36:10] Love and Light, My Ass: “You must have done something in a past life”[37:49] What did we learn today?About the HostsAinslie MacLeod is a past-life psychic with over 27 years of professional experience.
