If it's too hard, just ignore it! Sara's back from the theatre, Stephanie has a new foster, and we're taking "spiritual avoidance" head on and encountering something called bypassing. You see this all the time, and not just in spiritual communities. Avoidance, platitudes, "thoughts and prayers".... all of this can be substituted for actually identifying triggers or sitting in your actual feelings, which doesn't help you to heal or grow. So today we're confronting the idea of spiritual bypassing so you can catch yourself in the act or know when it's happening around you. Remember, no one wants to be a SPIRITUAL NARCISSIST! (dun dun DUN!)

Then, at the end, a little Disney debrief about Hollywood Studios and why we know we're getting old because of motion sickness.
