Ladies, if you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or like there’s something more waiting for you, this episode is for you. I’m opening up about my entire spiritual journey—how I went from feeling heartbroken and uncertain to finding deep inner peace, surrender, and divine guidance.

Spirituality isn’t just about meditation, crystals, or religion—it’s about truly knowing yourself, trusting your path, and embracing your power as a woman. Whether you’re curious about energy healing, navigating heartbreak, or learning to listen to your intuition, this conversation will speak to your soul.

💫 In this episode, I share:

- The moment I surrendered and asked for guidance

- How heartbreak and hardship pushed me to my spiritual awakening

- My experiences with Reiki, energy healing, and breathwork

- How plant medicine transformed my perspective

- Why your body, emotions, and thoughts shape your reality

- How to stop living in victimhood and reclaim your power

- Your spiritual journey is yours—it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

But if you’re feeling called to explore deeper, to find more meaning in your life, and to connect with yourself on a whole new level… this is your sign. 💖
