Episode Synopsis

Send us a text“Avoidance isn’t laziness—it’s unspoken grief. And the longer we run, the further we drift from our true self.”In this episode of Inner Pondering, we explore the quiet ways emotional avoidance shapes our lives—how we scroll, overwork, perform, or even spiritually bypass in an attempt to stay out of discomfort.Avoidance often begins as a way to survive, but over time, it becomes a subtle form of pain. It keeps us disconnected from our truth, stuck in loops of emotional numbing, and locked out of presence.This reflection is for those navigating:Grief disguised as avoidanceThe exhaustion that comes from constantly copingWhy avoidance feels safe but drains youHow healing starts by being present with what hurtsThe connection between inner work and avoidance patternsWhether you're healing from spiritual bypassing, emotional shutdown, or simply tired of running from yourself—this is your reminder that your presence is enough. You can come home now.Thank you for listening! You are the one I come to meet.Please like and subscribe! My youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPJxl14CDr8T3XABTWWI_iQ
