With so much suffering, uncertainty and upheaval in the world, have you ever caught yourself feeling happy and then wondered whether you should?

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Vicki & Keryn explore the guilt, conditioning and quiet questions that can surround happiness — especially when someone we love is struggling or the world around us feels anything but joyful.

Through the lenses of Salt, Sage and Stardust, we ask whether grief and joy can coexist, when empathy becomes an obligation to suffer, and whether our happiness really diminishes our capacity to care.

Maybe we don’t need everything to be okay before we allow ourselves to experience what feels good right here, right now.

🎧 Join us as we explore what it might mean to let ourselves feel fully alive … whatever that moment happens to contain.

🔮 Tarot Wisdom — Three of Wands

The Three of Wands reminds us that we have the right to experience and celebrate those sparks of happiness when they arrive — without needing permission or validation from anyone else.

In Vicki’s reading, the card offered a beautiful message: a spark of happiness is proof of life.

It reminds us that we are here, we are alive, and our experience is real. Those moments of joy can illuminate possibility and remind us that there is still more life waiting to be experienced.

We’d love to hear what this conversation brings up for you.

Have you ever caught yourself feeling happy and then felt guilty about it? Were there messages you grew up with about when it was — or wasn’t — okay to express joy? Or perhaps you’ve discovered that happiness and sadness, grief and laughter, concern and delight really can exist alongside each other.

Come and join us over on Substack, where we’ll continue the conversation and share the Marianne Williamson post that first inspired this episode.

We’d love to hear your perspective: Is it wrong to be happy right now?
