Episode 3: Unrealistic Standards & the Reality of Spiritual Living
Welcome to another episode of Spiritually Suspended with Caroline, where spirituality meets the realities of everyday life. In this candid episode, we explore the pressure of living up to unrealistic standards, especially in our spiritual practices, and the toll it can take on our mental health.
Lately, the vibes have felt "off," and I’ve found myself in a dark place—grappling with depression, frustration, and a sense of emotional disconnect. We’ve all been there, right? The expectation to always be in flow, spiritually aligned, or at peace can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I dive into my personal experience with a "functional freeze" and how I learned that sometimes the most spiritually aligned thing you can do is tap out and allow yourself the space to rest.
As a former professional psychic medium turned science and technology careerist, I’ve navigated the tension between the spiritual and the practical for years. From almost joining spiritual cults to embracing motherhood, my journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s led me to a deeper understanding of how to integrate spirituality into the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of unrealistically high expectations, or if you’ve struggled to find peace in the midst of it all, this episode is for you.
Listen now and find out why being spiritually suspended doesn’t mean you’re off track—it’s just part of the journey!
