What emotional manipulation can look like in the early stages
Common signs of unhealthy relationship patterns and emotional abuse, including reactivity, gaslighting, love bombing, and body-based warning signals

Episode 16: Spiritual Bypassing (Part 2) - Integrating All Emotions

In Part 2 of our conversation on Spiritual Bypassing, we go deeper into what it really means to walk a spiritual path rooted in wholeness, not avoidance.
We talk about the role of challenging emotions—like grief, anger, shame, sadness—not as blocks to spiritual growth, but as portals into deeper truth and presence. So often in spirituality, we’re taught to rise above, stay high-vibe, or “think positive.” But the truth? Real healing doesn’t bypass the pain. It meets it. It listens to it. It lets it be part of the path.
Together, we explore how to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions—light and dark—as part of the spiritual journey. We share personal stories, honest reflections, and grounded practices that help you stop resisting what’s here… and instead begin to integrate what your soul is trying to reveal through it.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re “failing” or not doing "something right" on their personal growth, healing or spirituality because they’re still feeling things deeply.Or for anyone who’s craving a more honest, embodied way to be with their inner world.
Because true peace doesn’t come from escaping your emotions.It comes from including them.
We’re so glad you’re here.Let’s dive in.
With love,Shawna & Laurie 🤍

Episode 15: Understanding Spiritual Bypassing (Part 1)

Welcome to episode 15 of the Naked Soul podcast, where we dive into the topic of spiritual bypassing. In this episode, we explain what spiritual bypassing is, signs that indicate spiritual bypassing and how we can sometimes use spirituality as a means to avoid confronting unresolved emotional issues, personal challenges, and messier parts of the human experience.
Throughout the conversation, the episode tackles common signs of spiritual bypassing such as denial of negative emotions, overuse of positive affirmations, and avoidance of personal responsibility. It emphasizes the importance of embracing all emotions, even the uncomfortable ones, for true spiritual growth and transformation.
Join us as we discuss how to recognize and consciously avoid the trap of spiritual bypassing, making room for a more integrated and holistic spiritual journey that can lead to more powerful healing and experiences of wholeness.

Episode 14: The Healing Power of Play

Welcome to this episode of the Naked Soul Podcast, where we explore the power of play. Join us as we discuss the reasons we're disconnected from play as adults and how integrating more play can provide many shifts within your life. 
Our conversation shares personal stories and experiences, exploring the lighter side of spirituality and life, where silliness and play can be used for many thing such as: healing trauma, shifting belief systems, shift you out of stress and the ego mind and into higher states of consciousness, improve your mood, access more creativity and clarity, and even allow abundance to flow more easily. 
Listen in as we challenge the conventional notions of adulthood, inviting you to rekindle your inner child's joy and spontaneity. Learn how play can bring you greater enjoyment and freedom in life and at the end of the episode we invite you to participate in a challenge!
