Are you drowning in the weight of everything you're carrying?
The world's suffering, your own unhealed wounds, the pressure to constantly process and transform and grow—until you can barely breathe under it all?
You're doing everything "right"—the soul work, the spiritual practices—but somehow you're sinking deeper into heaviness instead of finding relief.
What I'm Seeing 🌊
Here's the desperate pattern I see in so many conscious women:
💡 Suffocating under the weight of collective trauma and personal pain.
💡 Believing that if you're not processing something heavy, you're not growing.
💡 Feeling guilty when moments of lightness appear during dark times.
💡 Drowning in seriousness while your soul gasps for air.
You may think this heaviness demonstrates your spiritual commitment.
This might be a misunderstanding.
It's a survival pattern programmed by what I call the Seriousness Hijacker—the part that learned suffering equals worthiness and joy means you're not taking life seriously enough.
What I Think Is Really Happening 🔍
You've been taught that transformation must hurt, that healing requires endless processing, that lightness is somehow disrespectful to the world's pain.
✨ But what if joy isn't frivolous escape—but actual rescue? What if it's the lifeline the universe throws when you're drowning? ✨
My Story: The Day Joy Rescued Me 🌸
Two weeks ago, I was suffocating.
The news of 119 flood victims in Texas—including 27 young girls—had triggered my own trauma from losing friends in a bus accident when I was 15 years old. The memory of all those caskets lined up during the mass funeral still devastates me.
I was drowning in collective grief, processing mass consciousness pain, carrying the weight of the world's suffering.
I could barely breathe under it all.
Then something impossible began: a parade of mice started appearing in my house. Not my usual "one every few years"—but mouse after mouse, each needing gentle relocation.
As I found myself running what became a "Mouse Motel Empire," something shifted. The cosmic absurdity of providing hospitality services to tiny house guests cracked open my suffocating seriousness.
When Mouse #11 appeared exactly 30 minutes after Mouse #10, I burst out laughing and called myself a "Mickey Mousekateer."
In that moment of unexpected joy, everything changed.
I wasn't rescued by more processing or deeper healing work. I was saved by joy—pulled from drowning by the universe's sense of humor.
The grief was still real. But instead of suffocating me, it transformed into compassionate witness. Joy hadn't diminished my spiritual work—it had rescued me from drowning in it.
What I'm Discovering Is Possible 💫
My salvation didn't come through more seriousness.
It came through remembering that joy is not the enemy of conscious living—it's the lifeline.
✨ Your drowning in heaviness isn't spiritual maturity. It's forgetting that joy is divine rescue, not frivolous distraction. ✨
Your authentic self knows how to breathe in lightness, find meaning in absurdity, and let laughter be your lifeguard.
This isn't about becoming less aware. It's about being saved from the undertow of endless processing.
