This episode is for the girlies caught between two worlds… raised in religion, but pulled toward something deeper, softer, more aligned.

I’m sharing a personal story that changed everything: a close friend uninviting me from her wedding after discovering I’d posted tarot cards online. It was painful, confusing, and rooted in the kind of spiritual shame many of us know too well.

This episode isn’t just about religion vs. spirituality—it’s about what happens when people use faith to shame, exclude, or control. It’s about spiritual autonomy. It’s about finding your way back to your truth, even after being made to feel like you don’t belong.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Common misconceptions about being “spiritual”

• What it means to honor your roots while carving your own way

• Why unlearning isn’t betrayal—it’s becoming

• How to build bridges instead of walls when it comes to belief

If you’ve ever been rejected, judged, or misunderstood for your beliefs, this episode is for you.

DM “READY” if you’re reclaiming your magic & walking your own sacred path.
