131. Is Spiritual Bypassing The New Norm? [with Lauren Love]

What if the spiritual community isn’t actually as healed as it pretends to be?In today’s Friday’s With Friends episode, I’m joined by the incredibly wise, grounded and deeply refreshing Lauren Of Love for a conversation that honestly cracked a lot of things wide open.We’re diving into the realities of the coaching and spiritual industries, the pressure to always be “love and light,” the performative side of healing online, and what true embodiment actually looks like beneath the surface.This episode is raw, nuanced, thought-provoking and filled with moments that might challenge the way you’ve been taught to think about manifestation, spirituality, success, healing and even self-awareness itself.We talk about the dangers of bypassing your emotions, why so many people are disconnected from their truth, the rise of AI-generated authenticity online, nervous system-led business, and how to discern whether someone is truly doing the work… or just selling the aesthetic of healing.Lauren also shares beautiful insight into shadow work, abundance, somatic healing and the importance of learning to hold all parts of yourself- not just the polished, positive ones.This conversation felt less like an interview and more like sitting at a kitchen table unpacking the things nobody in the industry wants to say out loud.And honestly? I think it’s one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet._____________________Here’s A Little About Lauren + Her Journey:Lauren of Love is a teacher and spiritual guide for people on the self-healing journey life path.
