In this cozy, thunder-filled Friday night reflection, Tamara invites you into a gentle, heartfelt conversation exploring the spiritual questions that quietly persist in our souls:

• Why do I feel distant from God?
• How do I hear the voice of the divine?
• Where is God in my suffering?

Through personal stories, sacred insights, and the language of the 12 Sacred Intimacies, you'll be guided to listen more deeply to your inner life and reconnect with your unique path to the divine. Whether through nature, beauty, rest, or creativity, this episode offers compassionate ways to feel spiritually supported—even in the midst of chaos or unanswered prayers.

You’ll also hear powerful reflections on crisis intimacy, including two moving personal stories that reveal how divine protection and meaning can sometimes take years to understand.

✨ Includes a short meditation at the end to help you gently return to your center and recognize which door to sacred connection is ready to open.
