    Episode 41 - Spiritual Bypassing

    Episode 41 - Spiritual Bypassing

    In episode 41, we discuss “spiritual bypassing,” which is “a tendency to use spiritual explanations to avoid complex psychological issues.” Spiritual bypassing can manifest in many forms, including toxic positivity, excuses, and avoiding feeling angry or sad. We talk about our own personal experiences with spiritual bypassing and ways you can recognize and avoid it. Trigger warning in this episode for food related subjects and sexual assault.

In this episode we talk about what we've been up to this summer, new things we've learned, and projects (new and old)!

Powerful insight and a sense of community. Knowing that I’m not alone in a lot of the struggles I experience as an artist. So many helpful tips for creativity and running a business. Especially as an indigenous woman. ❤️

It gives me hope

I’ve been trying to get to a point where I can work as a full time musician for a few years now. Raye and Erica help me understand some of the finer points of how to make that a reality.

I plan to listen to re-listen to the whole series, taking notes, and doing the challenges.
