Have you ever felt so lit up about your life—overflowing with joy, gratitude, and high-vibe energy—only to be met with a cold, “Wow…you’re such a Pollyanna,” or worse, “That’s toxic positivity”? Ouch. That kind of pushback can feel like a spiritual sucker punch.

In this powerful solo episode of The Abundance Journey, we unpack the surprising truth behind why your light might trigger someone else’s shadow—and how to respond without dimming your brilliance.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really going on neurologically and spiritually when someone resists your joy

• Why “positivity” can feel unsafe to people rooted in fear-based identity

• The difference between true compassion and spiritual bypassing

• How to validate someone’s pain without agreeing to their story

• Tools to stay aligned with your highest self and meet others where they are

This isn’t about fixing anyone. It’s about being the safe, steady presence that lets others reconnect with their own power. Because you don’t climb the mountain for someone—you just show them the view is worth it.
