INNER REVOLUTION: Bonus - Are we meant to be happy ALL of the time?

INNER REVOLUTION: Bonus - Are we meant to be happy ALL of the time?

Author: Josephine Hardman, PhD December 4, 2025 Duration: 20:38

In the spiritual community, we often hear that joy and happiness are our natural state of being... and that we should be joyful most, if not ALL, of the time.

So... is this really true? Or are we putting too much pressure on ourselves to only feel "positive" emotions?

Let's explore this question in a bonus episode of INNER REVOLUTION - a podcast series where we walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together.

The purpose of this series is to help you shed ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that isn't a true reflection of Who You Really Are, so you can fully embody your Divinity, Light, and Sacred Mission.

Join me for this exploration of:

  • how the spiritual community sometimes reinforces an unhelpful POLARITY by labeling (and judging) some emotions as "positive" and others as "negative"
  • the pressure we might put on ourselves to experience ONLY "positive" emotions
  • how toxic positivity & spiritual bypassing can lead to self-suppression
  • should we strive to feel happy and joyful ALL of the time... or can we reach a middle ground of DIVINE NEUTRALITY?
  • becoming a peaceful observer of ALL of your human experiences, emotions, and reactions - instead of feeling like you must suppress some of them
