The Hidden Pitfalls of Spiritual Bypassing: Janice Ho's Guide to True Growth
I want you to know that that is just a fallacy. And yes, I'm sure many of us can look back at our histories and pick two points in time and say: I'm much more aligned with my authentic self now than I was Years Ago. I'm much more at peace in my mind now than I was back at that really rough period in my life.
Have you ever felt like the 'feel good, vibe high' approach to spirituality just isn't cutting it? In this episode of The Soul's Work Podcast, Janice Ho unpacks the concept of spiritual bypassing and why simply chasing good vibes might be doing more harm than good. Janice takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of spiritual growth, emphasizing that it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

With a mix of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Janice highlights the importance of shadow work—facing our fears and traumas head-on to foster real alignment and authenticity.
She also touches on the role of privilege and social barriers in our spiritual journeys, reminding us that not everyone has the same access to resources or opportunities for growth.
