In this episode we all become neighbors and raise our children together, fully immersed in motherhood and living the gospel within The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.
“As we began to share our gifts openly with clients, friends and family, our seemingly idealic “Mayberry” community began to take a drastic turn.
In this episode we talk about us sharing our gifts, and one of the ways Kristen did this was through writing and recording music. A link to her album is posted below.

In this episode, Leilani shares more life experiences as her shame and guilt grow, determined to conform even at the expense of her own well-being. Conformity is always toxic when it goes against what your own Inner Compass is telling you.
Join us next week for episode six as our lives join together and our story continues.

In this episode, Leilani shares her experience growing up in the high demand religion of Mormonism. Throughout her life, she had many experiences that caused her to carry a lot of shame. This episode illuminates how she outsourced her innate divine worth to many church authorities along the way and ignored her own Inner Compass.

This episode I share a lot of personal, intuitive, & spiritual experiences. It illuminates how my identity & intuition became enmeshed with the church. These experiences also show how I took the loving teachings of my faithful parents and the tools that my religion gave me, and made the very most of them! In coming episodes you'll see how listening to my own inner compass brought me back to my own authority as I untangle myself from what didn't resonate with me anymore.

Michell Powers was born with the gift to see, hear and communicate with Angels. As a faithful member of the LDS church for 40 years, she was silenced repeatedly for sharing her spiritual gifts. Find out more about what ultimately led to her faith expansion outside of Mormonism.

Welcome to the Inner Compass Podcast. This podcast is an offering from our hearts! Throughout the first several episodes we will be sharing what we experienced growing up in a high demand religion and what it was like raising our children and becoming close friends and mothers in Mormonism for over 15 years. Each one of us experienced our own personal awakening and faith expansion. Much of that journey we experienced together as we helped each other navigate a very difficult journey.
We also look forward to having future guests join us to share their stories of following their own inner compass.
We truly believe there is a story inside us all that needs to be shared.

Welcome to the Inner Compass Podcast.
The process of creating this podcast allowed for us to more deeply heal and alchemize our experiences, and the wounding that came from a life…
From the time we were children we were conditioned to outsource our own authority and intuition to the men who presided over us. We were taught the value of free agency and personal revelation, but only if it matched the church’s teachings. This left us disempowered and disconnected from our own innate knowing and power. We were taught that obedience is the crowning virtue. This left us vulnerable to manipulation and control in relationships and from our priesthood authorities.
Eventually the confusion and heartache that came from our own inner knowing was not matching what the church taught, led to our faith expansion and unraveling of a lifelong belief system. Feeling and knowing our own hearts to be pure and good finally led us to make a choice. When our own inner voice and knowing are saying one thing and the church is saying another, which do we follow?
In each episode we will take you on our individual and collective journey to answer this question. Join us each week to listen to our unique and somehow universal experiences, and how in the end we listened to our own inner compass and turned our wounds into wisdom.
