so guided.

The One We Never Thought We'd Share

Carissa & Jenny Episode 16

Trigger Warning:  Discussions of sexual assault, bullying, suicidal thoughts & baby loss

When they started the podcast, Carissa and Jenny promised to be consistently authentic and never shy away from telling the whole truth about their journeys. They acknowledge that spirituality is not all unicorns and rainbows but also about confronting the darker aspects of ourselves. To find our light, we need to come face-to-face with our shadows.

In this episode, Jenny shares a deeply personal recording she made a year and a half ago about a repressed memory that triggered the dark side of her spirituality. While this was difficult to work through and understand then, she now knows this moment was formative in understanding her spirituality and inner self. 

Carissa and Jenny reflect on the purpose of so guided. - to shed light on the human experience with all its intricacies and complexities. Through sharing this story, they hope to empower you to explore your paths, uncover the light that emerges from your darkest moments, and ask yourself, “What was the moment that brought me to my knees?”
