Not always intentionally. Not always with malice. But when someone uses gratitude to silence your actual experience β€” it stops being a gift and starts becoming a bypass. In this first episode of the newly renamed Divine Angelic Guidance podcast, formerly Angels, Adoption, and Ancestors with Michelle Irene Stupski gets honest about something the spiritual community rarely talks about β€” the pressure to perform gratitude even when something still hurts. Through her personal story of adoption, finding her birth mother, and the unfinished relationship she carried until her birth mother's passing last November, Michelle explores what happens when we stay on the surface in the name of staying positive. This episode is for the woman who has been told to count her blessings when her heart was breaking. For the one who has done all the spiritual work and still feels the ache. For anyone who has quietly wondered β€” am I allowed to feel this? You are. Your humanity is sacred. In this episode: Why gratitude becomes silencing when used to override honest emotion The difference between performing spirituality and living it Why pain doesn't always have to have a purpose How the angels hold space for both joy and sorrow β€” and invite us to do the same The one question to sit with this week Your invitation to come home to your soul self and create the life your spirit always dreamed of. 🀍 @divineangelicguidance πŸŽ™οΈ ABOUT DIVINE ANGELIC GUIDANCE Hosted by certified spiritual life coach and author Michelle Irene Stupski, Divine Angelic Guidance is a podcast for women ready to do the deep soul work of coming home to themselves β€” guided by angelic wisdom, spiritual psychology, and radical emotional honesty.
