Share episode

In this deeply personal episode, Dani takes you behind the scenes of her recent plant medicine journey—an experience that didn’t unfold the way she expected… but turned out to be exactly what her soul needed.

You’ll hear the full story of how she said yes to a sacred psilocybin ceremony, the vulnerable moments leading up to it (including navigating fear, judgment, and honesty within her marriage), and the rollercoaster of emotions that followed—from anticipation and discomfort to healing and integration.

Dani unpacks the tender theme: “I didn’t get what I wanted, but I got what I needed”—only to discover one week later that the very desire she carried into the ceremony (to encounter Jesus) was divinely answered… just not in the way she expected.

The second half of this episode shares the extraordinary, unexpected moment that unfolded during a Good Friday worship service. What began as a spontaneous intuitive nudge became the redemptive experience her soul had been craving—a full-circle encounter that brought her to tears, left her holding a symbolic nail, and ended with the song that inspired her son’s name.

This is a story of trust, surrender, spiritual integration and what it means to be met exactly where you are—by God, by your body, by the divine timing of it all.

In this episode, Dani shares:

  • What led her to say yes to plant medicine (and how the medicine started working long before the ceremony began)
  • Her personal intentions, fears and the internal resistance that surfaced before and during the experience
  • What it really felt like to not get what she wanted… and the empowering mindset that helped her find peace
  • The profound synchronicities that unfolded exactly one week later 
  • The full redemption story—including the 11th nail, the emotional release and the song that brought everything full circle

This episode is for you if…

  • You’re in a season of waiting, not getting what you want or wondering if your prayers are being heard
  • You believe (or want to believe) in divine timing, redemption, second chances, and miracles
  • You’re craving a deeper connection with God and a reminder that He’s still moving, even when it doesn’t look or feel the way you expected 

Let this be your reminder: God is never late. The miracle is on its way. And even when it doesn’t make sense yet—it’s working.
