DOing a lot — but not much BEing, and still not DOing the work!
Spiritual Satire for the Earth Worn Soul — Episodes 6–11 Careful, Karen!
Welcome to the spiritual shadowboxing match you never agreed to enter.
You shared your perspective of a challenging situation—and suddenly, there’s a sanctimonious sword lodged squarely between your shoulder blades.
Wrapped in white sage, of course.
🌿🔪
🔪 Episode 6: The Truth Hurts (You, Not Her)
She hands out her truth like free samples at Costco—fully packaged, nonrefundable, and exempt from accountability. You ask if you can offer yours; apparently, this was a monologue, not an exchange.
💨 Episode 7: The Lavender Gaslight"
"You're so sensitive. Here, try this calming oil… maybe it’ll help you tolerate my emotional and spiritual bypassing better."
🩸 Episode 8: The Medicine Thief
She loves your spiritual wisdom—it looks fabulous on her. By next Tuesday, your insight has been cleansed, saged, and repackaged as having been downloaded directly from the Divine.
She may forget where the medicine came from, but don’t worry—she’ll be teaching it to all her friends or offering it in her next workshop.
🕯 Episode 9: Scheduling the Sacred
She asked her soul to send sacred transformation. It booked a meeting with the violet flame to enter the space in a body. It torched her illusions of control, and her plan spontaneously combusted.
👁🗨 Episode 10: The Empath Narcissist
She’s so empathic, she knows what you’re feeling and also what caused it without asking a single question.
🛑 Episode 11: Boundaries & Bypassing
She believes in boundaries — especially the ones that protect her ego.
If you’re calm, you’re cold.
If you cry, you’re manipulative.
If you’re clear, you’re attacking.
If you’re confused, you’re projecting.
If you share, you're defensive
Karen got a Reiki merit badge. Unfortunately, shadow work wasn't included in the certification.
Her ego danced around the violet flame like it was a lavender candle. It wasn’t.
🩲 Coming Soon: Your Projection is Showing (And It’s Tacky) ✨
🩱 one-piece sass
👙 spiritual strip tease
🧺 (if she’s airing everyone's laundry but her own)
🪩 (because every mirror’s too reflective)
🧼 (spiritually squeaky… and suspiciously soapy)
🙈 (so she can keep avoiding herself in peace)
🩲 (and yes—those aren’t your sacred panties, Karen)
Sacred Sass Recovery Prayer:
May I remember that true light doesn’t pierce — it reveals.
May I walk away from anyone who weaponizes their awakening.
And may my own inner knife dissolve — before I start throwing it in return.
Because sometimes the only incense you need… is common sense. 🙏🔥
💔 Note from Nancy ~ aka, The Sacred Sass Seer
This series isn't written from superiority. It's written from survival. From the ache of being misread while speaking from truth. From the quiet grief that comes when those you have only supported weaponize your transparency. Humor is how I hold the sacred — without collapsing under the sorrow. May it serve anyone who's walked that edge.
🧂 She’s not bitter — she’s just seasoned.🔥
She doesn’t bypass — she blesses, bites, and burns through the bullsh*t. 🪄🪬
She says: “I’ve been through fire. That’s why I smell like truth and a little bit of smoke.”
Still laughing until it hurts… and then writing it down.
Once again, I'd love to hear if this lands.
Or, if you recognize someone else—or yourself—in this post.
May this spiritual satire bless, bite, and leave you laughing. 😂
With Much Sass and Soul,
Someone said the widget was broken. ha!
