About this episode
This episode is about why I dislike the phrase "everything happens for a reason" or any other sayings that have the potential to make someone who is suffering feel alienated on top of it. We really love to make everything make sense, and sometimes we contort ourselves to try to cram everything that befalls us into the gratitude column. Spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, religious or spiritual beliefs that create division and pain rather than tolerance and compassion are all discussed. Ultimately it's good to consider what we think is happening here on earth and what we think happens next, but to do that with a healthy dose of humility, and maybe even humor. All are welcome.
