The embodiment world has a shadow. And someone needs to say it out loud. In this episode, I call out spiritual bypassing dressed up as business coaching—and why "good vibes only" culture is actually toxic positivity that keeps you stuck. What we cover:
- Four phrases that signal spiritual bypassing ("you're in a low vibration," "just trust the universe," "if you're burned out, you're not aligned," "good vibes only")
- The difference between holding space for struggle vs. performative positivity
- Why "manifesting more revenue" without strategy is terrible advice
- The guru complex: cryptic wisdom that sounds profound but means nothing
- How to discern between real mentoring and manipulation
- Questions to ask before hiring a business coach
- What the Embodied Visibility Lab actually is (and isn't)
