Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—checking all the boxes—but still end up stuck in the same patterns of frustration, anxiety, or overwhelm?

In this episode, I break down why life feels so hard sometimes and how the way we see our challenges can either keep us trapped or set us free. We’ll explore the difference between operating at ground level—where every problem feels like a crisis—and learning to rise above the chessboard to see the bigger picture.

You’ll learn:

Why success alone doesn’t bring lasting peace

How ground-level thinking fuels drama and keeps you stuck

The empowering (but uncomfortable) truth about who’s really in control

How to shift from short-term comfort to long-term fulfillment

And why inner work is the key to navigating life’s ups and downs without losing yourself

If you’re ready to stop reacting and start responding from a place of clarity and purpose, this episode will show you how.

We’ve all been there.

You’re going through something hard.

And someone hits you with:

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Or…

“Stay positive vibe.”

Or…

“You just need to let it go.”

And in that moment, instead of feeling seen, you feel… dismissed.

Like your pain didn’t get the memo that we’re all supposed to be enlightened now.

In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, we’re talking about bypassing—specifically, how to recognize it without becoming the bypasser yourself.

Because here’s the thing:

Sometimes, people really are avoiding responsibility or emotions by sounding “spiritual.”

But other times, we’re just projecting our discomfort with how they’re processing something.

It’s a tricky balance.

So how do you know the difference?

And what do you do when someone else’s attempt at perspective just makes you want to scream?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why some “wise” advice can actually keep people stuck
• The hidden reason we’re so quick to call others out
• What to do instead when bypassing might be happening

This one’s not about shaming anybody.

It’s about getting more clear and more free—in your own lane.
