Episode 8 — You Don’t Have to Be High Vibe All the Time

You are not meant to be happy, grateful, positive, and “high vibe” every second of every day.In this episode of Spirit Sidekick, we’re talking about the pressure to stay positive in spiritual and wellness spaces — and what happens when positivity crosses the line into emotional avoidance and spiritual bypassing.We’ll explore why anger, grief, disappointment, frustration, fear, and all of our other uncomfortable emotions aren’t inherently “low vibe” or something we need to immediately fix. They’re part of being human, and often they’re trying to tell us something.We’ll talk about the difference between feeling an emotion and living in it, why suppressing difficult emotions doesn’t actually make them disappear, how generations of conditioning have taught us to distrust or minimize our feelings — particularly women’s anger and emotional expression — and why allowing yourself to fully feel what’s there can actually be one of the most healing and spiritually aligned things you can do.Because spirituality isn’t about bypassing the messy parts of being human.It’s about learning how to move through them.Journal Prompts: Which emotions do I have the hardest time allowing myself to feel, and what have I been taught those emotions mean about me?Where in my life am I trying to “positive-think” my way around something that may actually need to be felt, acknowledged, or addressed?What would it look like to allow myself to experience my emotions without judging them, fixing them, or making them mean something is wrong with me?Follow us on Instagram: @spiritsidekickpodcastJoin the Facebook Community
