Why Spiritual Positivity Feels Like Gaslighting

What if “be present”  isn’t about gratitude, acceptance, or pretending things don’t hurt?

In this episode of The Worthiness Rebellion™, I unpack a spiritual teaching that’s been deeply misunderstood and often weaponized against people who are genuinely suffering.

After my last episode, Spirit stopped me in my tracks with a harder, truer question:

👉 What does “the grass is greenest right here” actually mean when people are grieving, starving, unsafe, traumatized, or barely surviving?

This is not an episode about bypassing pain, forcing positivity, or being okay with injustice.

It’s about:

• Why presence is not the same as acceptance
• How suffering increases when your pain has no witness
• The difference between pain and self-abandonment
• Why waiting for “better circumstances” keeps you disconnected from your power
• How rooted self-worth actually expands compassion instead of collapsing it
• And why worthiness work is not selfish — it’s relational maturity

If you’ve ever felt shamed by spirituality for wanting change…
If “be grateful” made you feel smaller, not safer…
If you care deeply about the world but feel overwhelmed, numb, or burned out…

This episode is for you!

Your worth is not up for negotiation.  And you don’t have to wait for life to be perfect to come home to yourself.
