In Part 2 of our conversation on Spiritual Bypassing, we go deeper into what it really means to walk a spiritual path rooted in wholeness, not avoidance.
We talk about the role of challenging emotions—like grief, anger, shame, sadness—not as blocks to spiritual growth, but as portals into deeper truth and presence. So often in spirituality, we’re taught to rise above, stay high-vibe, or “think positive.” But the truth? Real healing doesn’t bypass the pain. It meets it. It listens to it. It lets it be part of the path.
Together, we explore how to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions—light and dark—as part of the spiritual journey. We share personal stories, honest reflections, and grounded practices that help you stop resisting what’s here… and instead begin to integrate what your soul is trying to reveal through it.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re “failing” or not doing "something right" on their personal growth, healing or spirituality because they’re still feeling things deeply. Or for anyone who’s craving a more honest, embodied way to be with their inner world.
Because true peace doesn’t come from escaping your emotions. It comes from including them.
We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s dive in.
With love, Shawna & Laurie 🤍

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
