Unveiled

What if Joy Is the Most Radical Act of Resistance?

Angela Christian Season 4 Episode 20

Send us a text

When was the last time pure joy washed over you? Not the achievement-oriented happiness of checking off a goal, but genuine, present-moment bliss that makes time stand still? In this heartfelt conversation, I explore how desperately we all need more joy and heart-opening in our lives right now.

After a profound healing session with a fellow intuitive, I received a clear message from Source through her: we must notice the joy throughout our days. Not as another task on our endless to-do lists, but as sacred moments that remind us why we're here. Those instances when you laugh uncontrollably with your children, savor the perfect cup of coffee, or simply breathe in the beauty around you—these are the experiences that transcend our daily grind and reconnect us to our essence.

In times of heightened social division and constant negative news cycles, joy becomes not just a pleasant emotion but a radical act of resistance. I share how social contagions and media influence can override our natural state of compassion, causing even the kindest people to justify unkindness. The antidote? Opening our hearts through small acts of kindness, present moment awareness, and conscious joy-seeking. 

As I prepare for a birthday trip to nurture myself (despite the typical mom-guilt trying to creep in), I'm embracing this practice of prioritizing joy as medicine for these challenging times.

Beyond philosophical musings, I share exciting news about upcoming offerings including a new mentorship program (join the waitlist here), plus free content series on dark forces and soul contracts in relationships. I also touch on how bullying—whether in high school hallways or modern social media—reflects the bully's closed heart and self-loathing rather than any truth about their target.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Unveiled the podcast. I'm your host, angela Christian, and I help you with unveiling your true self by peeling away the layers that society placed on you. I do this with a combination of neuroscience, energetics and ancient spiritual wisdom. I went from underpaid and overworked in corporate America to launching a six-figure company that continues to grow. I went from toxic relationships to being happy and single for over a year as I worked and continue to work on becoming the best version of myself, and so much more. My greatest passion is to help women and mothers heal, transform and become the highest versions of themselves. Heal, transform and become the highest versions of themselves. As I continue to grow and expand my intuitive knowledge and unique wisdom, I'll be including you on my journey to millions, so let's get into it.

Speaker 2:

Hello and welcome back to Unveiled. I have been loving all of the feedback on the last episode, where I did a healing for all of you and I'm just so glad it was exactly what you needed, because that is what I channeled. That would be helpful for all of you and it was just beautiful hearing some of your messages. So thank you for that. I always love hearing from you guys. So today I hadn't really had a topic that I was going to talk about. I knew it would come to me, just like it always does. Sometimes I plan ahead, other times I'm like it'll just come. And today's topic came to me after a healing from a fellow friend, intuitive. And when I asked source, what do you guys need to hear right now, which is what I do for my Sunday source channelings which is free, by the way I'll link the sign up in the show notes. You can sign up for that and you get both a channeled message and audio and a written form. So whatever you prefer the audio, I think personally I like the audio better, just because it's you can just hear how it's coming through and it's. You know, I do write it up as well, but it's just clearer in the audio format. Anyway, I always sit down with source and ask source what would be the most helpful for you guys or whoever's you know on my whoever's receiving the Sunday source and then it comes through.

Speaker 2:

So today I was just like you know what after my call with my friend, I really really heard the word joy. Like we are lacking joy In our lives. We are just waking up with to do lists, we are going through the motions, we are trying to get to some future place, me included, and this was the message from source for me today was notice the joy throughout the day. Like don't make it another thing on your checklist or to do list, but like if you can remember the moments, like sometimes with my son or with my daughters, I will laugh so hard and like pure joy and love, like those are the moments that I'm going to be adding to a list just to look at and to remember those feelings that take us out of the day to day. Grind right, because I talk to my clients, I talk to my members, I talk to my family, I talk to friends and everybody's kind of really needing more joy and nurturing in their lives and tomorrow I'm going on a trip to see my daughter in San Diego and my birthday was last week, as many of you know and wished me a happy birthday, thank you, and I've been looking forward to this. I booked a hotel that I've been wanting to stay at for a year now and I was like you know what, it's my birthday, I'm just going to treat myself.

Speaker 2:

I was so excited and then, I should say, human brain kicked in and I was like, well, should I really be gone for three nights, like I'm going to miss my son, I'm going to miss my daughter, my 10 year old daughter Is it really necessary? And like, one of the nights that I'm there, my college daughter, she has a sorority event and she's not even really going to get to see me that night. She has a sorority event and she's not even really going to get to see me that night. But then I heard from my higher self, from source, it's like but you also need to nurture yourself, right? I am a mother, well, I'm a mother every day, but I don't get very many breaks, which is fine, and I love my kids, but I am still a human and a woman and my own person, right? So I do love my alone time. So, by tapping into that joy and, like my friend even said, like just embody that joy, the joy you felt when you booked the trip, like that is the truth, right, it isn't the human brain kicking in and beating you up and all of that. That is not the truth. The truth is the joy I felt and the alignment I felt when I booked the trip, okay, with everything that's going on in the world right now. I think a lot of people are Well, I know a lot of people are heavy in emotions on both sides of it, right, I did read a quote today that I really felt and because what happened, as I already talked about briefly last week, I kind of had the feeling that the dark elite, the people at the top, definitely did what they did to Charlie Kirk to see how people would react.

Speaker 2:

It's very for several reasons, right, but it's very similar to what they did when COVID was a thing. So COVID was a big test. It was created, as it's now coming out, in a lab, right, and they wanted to see how much they could control humans and just look at how everybody, or the majority of people, stayed in their homes. They got the vaccine. I did not, but many did, and they weren't allowed to see family members. They had to wear masks. That didn't even make sense.

Speaker 2:

Some of these things are tests to see how far they can push us. The only way out is to tap into our heart, to our joy, to our humanity, to the light that is within all of us. We all have source light within us that we can activate. Right, and this guy I don't even know who he is, it just popped up on Twitter but he said all people had to do was to be fully against murdering someone for their political opinions. That was the moral test. Shocking how many seem to have failed it. I mean it is shocking to me still, and I balance it every day.

Speaker 2:

I've been trying to stay off of social media a little bit, but I mean I see people still that in person I've met and I would call them a really kind person, I like them as a person, and they're still going on and on on Facebook about why this was justified and it's just. We're missing the joy of being a human, we're missing the joy of freedom, we are missing the joy of just seeing each other and respecting each other for our own opinions, but a lot of people's opinions on both sides are influenced by contagions, right, as I talked about last week. So if you didn't hear last week's episode, you can listen to it. There's a free healing. You can listen to that healing as many times as you want. There's a healing in there that will just give you a little bit of breathing room. It's not a permanent healing. If you want a more permanent healing, you can book a session with me.

Speaker 2:

I did come up with another idea, though, because I've had several people reach out and ask if they can learn how to do that, and I've been playing with this idea of doing a mentorship style program. So I have my membership for $40 a month, right, so I teach in there. It's usually about an hour's worth of content, sometimes more on a specific topic. So all of August and all of September, I've been teaching the source truth around financial mastery, like how you know what we're not taught in school, and I went to business school. I have a master's degree in business and I was not taught these things. So it's a really big topic, and so I have been. I spread it out through August and September because it's such a big topic. So that is $40 a month and you can join that at any time.

Speaker 2:

I do intuit certain things for for members, sometimes, like I will offer if you want your number for this or if you want whatever it is, you can drop a note in our membership platform. But there aren't like one-on-ones, right. What I've been playing around with because I've had people ask me now several times and that's usually a sign is people are wanting to actually go a little deeper, right, and a one-on-one type situation. So I am going to be offering a mentorship style program. You'll get all of the membership audios, so you have it's over 90 trainings of really high quality material on different topics in the membership and then, plus, you'll meet with me once a month and have access to me on Telegram. If you're interested in this, I'll just put. I haven't even created it at this moment, but I'll go ahead and create a quickly. I'll create a wait list and so you can fill out your information if you're interested, and I would love to do that with you guys. So, for those of you who are interested, if that's like a yes and your body you'll know just sign up for the waitlist information and then I'll reach out to you once I have it all sorted out, but it's something I'm developing.

Speaker 2:

I do have a dark force mentorship already. In case you didn't know, it's called light it up and I'm actually redoing the entire program. I'm adding in so much content to it but then when you learn a certain clearing, you get a one on one telegram like check in with me to make sure your form is accurate and all of that. So I do have a dark force mentorship, but I've been getting a lot of questions about just like an ongoing mentorship and other areas like intuition, healing, working on you know, whatever it is, you might be needing help with trauma clearing, health, all of that like that could be addressed in the mentorship. So just wanted to throw that out there, because several of you have reached out and you know I'm here to help.

Speaker 2:

So, getting back to this idea around joy, I just want you to take a second and just think back. When was the last time you just felt like joy, meaning in the moment you're just laughing and you're so happy and you're just taken over by positive emotions. Like when was the last time? Because I feel like even for me, who I'm pretty emotionally balanced, it's hard for me to force myself to stop and this is one of the things I'm doing is just trying to be more in the present moment, so like just taking a minute to feel the chair I'm sitting on, to smell the flowers or the trees outside, to hug my son or to savor a cup of coffee, like really trying to pull myself back to the present moment. Because if we're always in the future or we're in the past or we're just worried about something, if your fight or flight system is on, you are not going to be experiencing joy, right. So that's one of the things that I love to do with clients is to get them regulated. Love to do with clients is to get them regulated, to help them clear that trauma quickly and then be able to enjoy life. Right, because you are here to do specific things.

Speaker 2:

But if we allow these social contagions and the brainwashing from traditional news and all of that, if you allow that to consume you which I'm seeing a lot of right now and I can see it online and just be like, oh, it's just sad, because these kind people are actually saying it's okay, it's okay to take out someone just because they have different beliefs. No, it's not Nobody else's source, and by them saying it's okay, it's okay to take out someone just because they have different beliefs no, it's not Nobody else's source and by them saying it's okay, it's justified, and putting it into writing. That is creating a ritual, a conscious ritual, and there are negative consequences for that. So it's not their fault. It's the brainwashing that most people have been under and a lot of people are waking up, but there are still quite a few that aren't. And if we don't tap into that source, given joy, it's going to be harder.

Speaker 2:

But love and joy, those emotions are what will wake people up. So how can we experience joy in just little ways? How can we start opening our heart in little ways? Well, today I was in a long line of traffic running a little late getting my son to school and someone I could tell they were stressed out and they were trying to turn and there was just such a long line of traffic and I just let them go through and they were so grateful and it didn't really hold up my time that much, maybe like 20 seconds, but that was something I could do to tap into. Being kind to, showing humanity and like just practicing little things like that will start to open your heart. But right now with with people's hearts and again, that's something I did do in that a little bit of in the free healing in the last podcast I have a different healing and a heart opening healing that I will be putting out some point soon because it's very needed in the world right now because people's hearts are so closed and there's just a.

Speaker 2:

There's a higher road here and I would just love to see humanity choose that higher road over celebrating tragedy. So I'm going to follow my own advice and I'm going to go visit my daughter and take in every second of joy, whether it's being with her, whether it's being alone in the hotel room, which I do have some really exciting free content I'm going to be putting out. I'm going to have a free series on dark forces and then I'm going to have a free series on relationships, all things like soul contracts, all of that, all of the fun stuff for you guys. So I will share that once it's ready, but that is one of the things I'm going to do while I'm there is work on this free content for you guys, just kind of as like a way to learn a little bit more before booking a session with me If you know, if you don't know what a soul contract is, or if you don't know what getting your soul pieces back actually means and why that will benefit you in every area of life, because it will. It'll just be like some explanations on all of this that you could watch, and then be like some explanations on all of this that you could watch and then be like, oh okay, and just have more knowledge, and then you can decide if you want to go further or further or if that satisfies your curiosity.

Speaker 2:

So a little short and sweet podcast today. Let's see any other updates. I do have some dating updates, but I'm a little nervous to share them on here because of the public structure. So I will give those updates in my Sunday source, because that is like it's still free, but it's a little more private, right, because I never know who's going to be listening. Because I never know who's going to be listening. So I'm sure you'll understand what I mean. But yeah, it was kind of.

Speaker 2:

One thing came through is there's a woman who I respect named Caroline D'Amore. You guys might know who she is. She was on my podcast. She created a company called the Pizza Girl, which is so good. I've actually been to her restaurant in Venice in Los Angeles. It's so, so, so, so good and she actually creates her crust from Italy and her father owns D'Amore's Pizza, which I used to go to in Malibu and that's where she grew up. Anyway, she was on my podcast a couple of years ago and I just really loved how genuine and open and honest she was.

Speaker 2:

And last night on Instagram, she was talking about bullies and it made me think back to my high school and for the most part, I had a really good high school experience. But there were a couple of bullies who, you know, just did things that didn't need to be done Like. I remember this one girl. She was a senior when I was a freshman and I w I was very into fashion, I wanted to be a model, all of these things, so I would wear kind of like more New York style and we were in a very small country town, so I would come to school and she would just sit there and she was a little scary, I'm not going to lie. She would get into physical fights all the time.

Speaker 2:

So literally, for however long class was, I had to sit there and listen to her breaking me down to like someone else. But she was literally sitting like I could touch her leg. She was so close to me. She'd be like look at those boots, like blah, blah, blah, and she was just waiting for me to say something so that she could physically attack me, basically, and I just would sit there and I would ignore her, but my stomach would hurt the entire time, right. Or I had one girl who she would go back and forth between being my friend or being a bully, and she threw gum in my hair one time during class.

Speaker 2:

And so I told Caroline we were just talking about bullies and how it's like the bullies of the world, most of the time they don't end up on their soul path, right, because their heart is closed. They likely had trauma. They were bullying people because they disliked themselves so much. And so now we see it on social media, right, the bullies, the bullies, the keyboard warriors and all of that. It's not coming from an open heart, it's not coming from a place of love or joy. It's coming from some type of fear or deep seated anger. But when I look at it now and I look at the bullying, I don't see it as a negative so much because it was like they were so threatened by me that they had to break me down. They had to bully me. They had to do those things to me because they were so threatened by me and maybe they couldn't even put that into words, but I didn't let it close my heart. I learned from it and I knew how it felt. So I was not one of those people at school who bullied other people, right Like. I was always kind to everyone, and so I look at it like they were also bullying me because of my creator field, because I was bullying myself. So let's not forget about that huge, important piece, right?

Speaker 2:

I had an eating disorder. I was very much. I was so critical about my looks and my body. I was way underweight, very obsessed about being a model, like a supermodel, because I wanted to feel special. That was the reoccurring soul lesson I came into this world with I'm not special and that's what I'm so close to overcoming that. But I thought, oh well, if I become a model and I'm in the fashion magazines, then everybody will see how special I am. But that's not how it works, right Like? You have to feel special within for people to see how special you are, and so those bullies had to play a very. They came into my life and they actually did me a favor. They were showing me. If I had known how this universe works at age 14, I would have thanked them right, because they were just showing me what I was doing to myself. I was constantly critiquing myself, I was so awful to my poor self, and it's the same kind of concept that's going on now, right, like, except the bullies online are basically just sharing with us how they feel about themselves.

Speaker 2:

So it's a very interesting thing to look at, and so I've been very aware of this as a parent. My oldest daughter she had a job that she just left. My oldest daughter she had a job that she just left and a lot of moms would have given her a hard time, made her feel bad. I know my mom would have when I say a lot of moms, I mean definitely my mom, my mom parents with guilt and with shame, and that's how a lot of parents do. It's not their fault, that's just how they were raised, and I don't raise my kids that way. I don't guilt them.

Speaker 2:

So when my daughter was really upset about you know, her job situation, I just said let's look at the lessons you learned and let's move forward with those lessons. But it's really important to take that moment and just be like, okay, I didn't stand up for myself here, I didn't set my boundaries here, I didn't speak up when I, when I knew I wasn't getting the training I needed. So how can you take those lessons and take them with you into the next job? Because that is all life is about is learning. Look, look at what happened, look at the lessons. What was you know? What is the world? What is your higher self? What is source trying to tell you?

Speaker 2:

Everything is communication, literally everything is communication. So learn from it and move forward. There's no reason to beat yourself up. Right, I could have said well, I told you, because I did tell her, but I wasn't going to throw this in her face. I told you, speak up, like you're not getting the training you need, but that wasn't going to throw this in her face. I told you, speak up like you're not getting the training you need, but that is not going to help her, that's not going to show her love in the moment she needed to be, you know, treated with love. And I just said let's just look at the lessons, learn and move forward, right? So how can we approach all different situations with love and with joy and with kindness? Right? So how can we approach all different situations with love and with joy and with kindness? Right? It's like these are very basic.

Speaker 2:

I feel like kindergarten things Like my son's school. His rules at school are be safe, be responsible, be respectable and be kind. Like if we all just lived by his kindergarten rules. Just think about how amazing the world would be right now. It would be pretty awesome. So we will get there. We will. Anyway, I am going to end there before I go down another rabbit hole, so I hope you guys have a beautiful week ahead. I will be in sunny San Diego, very excited about that, and make sure you're on the list for Sunday Source if you want to hear all the deets and the 411 on the dating updates.
