Is it possible to be deeply spiritual outside of organized religion? In this episode, I dive into my own journey growing up in an evangelical Christian home and the struggle to reconcile rigid doctrines with my personal values. Especially when it came to issues like LGBTQ+ acceptance and the politicization of faith, I felt a growing disconnect that eventually led me toward a more personal, empowering form of spirituality.
We’ll talk about the mixed messages and limitations of organized religion, and I’ll share what it took for me to break free from fear-based beliefs to find practices that genuinely nurture peace, abundance, and introspection—like oracle readings and meditation. I’ll also offer insights on creating community, setting boundaries with restrictive institutions, and embracing your own spiritual path. Join me as we break down old structures, open ourselves to new possibilities, and redefine what spiritual fulfillment can look like on our own terms.
