Holy Shift

Spiritual Bypassing and Patriarchal Conditioning


Listen Later

Are you tired of being told to “just trust the universe” while something inside you keeps screaming that it’s not okay?

You might be sliding into the spiritual bypass—masking discomfort with platitudes like “be grateful” or “just trust” while ignoring the body’s loud, urgent data. That’s the patriarchy and New Age gloss teaming up to keep you small, polite, and compliant.

Stop making the mistake of mistaking conditioned peace for real peace. The fix? Learn to read your body’s wisdom, call out patriarchal conditioning for what it is, and practice a fierce, honest feminine medicine that’s equal parts soft and savage. This episode shows you how to move from polite paralysis to powerful, embodied clarity.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How patriarchal conditioning and spiritual bypassing conspire to silence your body wisdom and stall your growth.
  • The difference between true intuition (body-based, immediate) and conditioned “shoulds” that sound spiritual but are actually avoidance.
  • Practical ways to slow the mental noise so your body’s knowing can surface — and simple actions to test that knowing in real life.
  • Why healing is layered, generational work (you’re not just healing for yourself) and how speaking your truth changes the timeline for those who come after you.

If an episode makes you a little uncomfortable, congratulations — you’re in the exact place where real change begins.
