Spiritual bypassing is one of those hot-button topics in online spaces. Yet, like many nuanced things brought up on the Internet, it's definition is often left vague. For instance - setting limits on what you let into your life is okay, encouraged even. On the flip side, going full-on "good vibes only" is seen as spiritual bypassing. Resilience is lauded as a sign that we're able to manage the change around us, while also being criticized as a buzzword to cover up the seemingly systemic struggles that some believe we shouldn't be facing.
Where do we draw the line on what's okay versus not-okay for our spiritual growth?
In this episode of spiritual af sundays we bring on Katy Valias, a fellow misfit entrepreneur, to talk about spiritual bypassing. We go deep into what "spiritual bypassing" is, and take a critical look at some of the behaviors that are often accused of being signs of spiritual bypassing. We also take a look at how social media has been contributing to this issue, for better or worse. Finally, we talk about another often-misunderstood spiritual concept: Shadow Work.
I had a lot of fun geeking out with Katy on these subjects, and I hope that you find this discussion insightful and that it supports your own spiritual explorations.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
