💫In this deeply personal reflection, Bernard Alvarez explores how spirituality can quietly become performative—focused on appearance instead of embodiment, positivity instead of honesty, and identity instead of liberation. Sharing a vulnerable moment from his own life after the loss of his son, Bernard speaks to the hidden pressure to “be healed” and the cost of pretending. This is a grounded, real conversation about what authentic healing actually looks like.
