"I don't have to do anything. I have to show up, and I have to be the clearest vase that I can. God is the flowers. My job is literally just to be the clearest vase for people to see them." - Rachel Platten

Singer-songwriter Rachel Platten reveals her transformative spiritual awakening that emerged from her darkest moment of despair. In a raw conversation, she describes the night she found herself on her knees in her studio at 2 AM – her baby sick with a high fever, her husband suffering from a kidney stone, grieving her uncle's death, and battling severe depression. In that moment of complete surrender, crying out "Mercy!" she experienced a divine presence that changed everything. The song that poured through her that night became both her lifeline and the beginning of a profound spiritual relationship that transformed her approach to creativity and performance.

Platten's journey mirrors Lewis' own path from feeling deeply alone to discovering spiritual connection. Both share how their previous drives for success and validation never filled the emptiness they felt inside. For Platten, the revelation that she didn't need intermediaries to connect with God freed her from seeking validation through psychics, intuitives, and others. Her newfound understanding of her role as simply "being a clear vase" for divine creativity removed the immense pressure of performance and people-pleasing, replacing it with a focus on self-care practices that allow her to be a clearer channel for inspiration and connection.
