Ep 20: Authenticity After Loss — Ally Morgan on Healing, Hope & the “Both/And”

⚠️ Trigger warning: child loss, medical trauma, divorce, and faith deconstruction.

What do you do when the life you built—and the God you thought you knew—can’t hold what happened?

Writer and Seeds & Leaven creator Ally Morgan joins Kelly for a conversation about authenticity, grief, and rebuilding a livable faith. We cover:

• The night she told God, “I think you’re a psycho”… and the sentence that shifted everything
• Leaving church to protect her view of God, not abandon it
• The sweater metaphor: performance vs. presence
• Rare diagnosis, losing both daughters, and a custody reality she never imagined
• Somatic healing: grounding, forest bathing, yoga, breath, acupuncture
• Ethical truth-telling about divorce (without turning people into content)
• A psychic reading and why language (Holy Spirit vs. “psychic”) changes what we hear
• Pleasure as medicine and the nervous-system toolbox

This episode is about hope, honesty, and the power of authenticity—even when life looks nothing like you planned.

If it helps, follow, rate, and share with someone living in the both/and.
