Not all light is healing. Sometimes, it blinds us from the truth we’re meant to feel.
In this episode, we explore spiritual bypassing — the tendency to use spiritual tools, positive thinking, or enlightenment language to avoid pain, bypass emotion, or skip the real work of healing. While spirituality can be a sanctuary, it must not become a shield from our humanity.
This episode unpacks how bypassing disconnects us from our root and heart chakras, and offers grounding practices to integrate both light and shadow. You’ll learn how to sit with grief, embrace duality, and come back into alignment — not as a performance of peace, but as an honest expression of your soul.
Because healing isn’t about pretending you’re okay. It’s about being whole.
