June 30, 2025 Design Flaw - The 1st IBLP Principle of Design
On this episode I'm beginning this series of my story with the Institute in Basic Life Principles or IBLP - which you may recognize from the Amazon documentary featuring the Duggar family from TLC's 19 Kids and Counting. They may have been on a reality tv show, but this is my story of how these teachings played out in my day to day real life. This is the Principle 1 episode in a series arc on the 7 principles of Bill Gothard.

March 03, 2025 Sleep Like Starfish with Rachelle Atkins
On this episode Grace interviews Rachelle Atkins. She's sharing her story highlighting excerpts from her memoir Sleep Like Starfish.

Sleep Like Starfish chronicles how a couch-surfing, disassociated teenage high school dropout with debilitating chronic illness, a constant loop of intrusive thoughts, and a haunting abandonment wound goes on to marry an underage musician with a fake ID and become a loving, responsible mother of two who graduates from college with high honors.
Rachelle Atkins not only examines the way childhood traumas manifest in the physical body, but also how a child who feels like "a body with no skin" can become a woman who lives with a middle-finger faith, believing that she is seen and held by something bigger than her tiny human self, even when her anxiety rumbles and her body acts like a traitor. Holding the tension between the bad that was and the good that is and can be, this memoir is a turnabout tale of discovering self-worth and learning to heal a dysregulated nervous system by coming to terms with a traumatic past, imparting levity whenever possible, and cultivating a deep sense of belief.

January 01, 2025 Trailer: Welcome to Mediocre Mystic
Hey Y'all! Grace here. If you, like me, have survived fundamentalism, I welcome you to this wholly irreverent space. A sanctuary of sorts for those of us who have broken free from all kinds of toxic, high-demand groups.
Often in the process of deconstruction, we find ourselves left with a void held for the casseroles and the cobblers. You know, the dishes dropped off on our doorstep during challenging times as an expression of care and belonging. As we build this community, I look forward to satisfying that longing by writing new recipes together and gathering each episode to break digital bread.

Wrestling with and reveling in our reconstruction, we explore many perspectives, sharing stories from all walks of life - creating functional beauty and discovering practical magic right in the midst of the messy, the muddled, and the mundane. Join us as we unashamedly and unabashedly cherry-pick ancient and modern practices to find out what works best for you and me in our daily lives.

On this podcast, I invite you to reconsider both mediocrity (and the way it makes the world go ‘round) and spirituality (and the way it works in mysterious ways).
To help others find us and let us know what kind of content you enjoy most, please take a moment to subscribe, follow, rate, and review Mediocre Mystic as you tune in on Apple, Spotify, Substack, YouTube, or wherever you find your podcasts.
Mediocre Mystic is proud to partner with a network of interspiritual and aspiritual practitioners as featured contributors. Mindful Maraschino episodes highlight practices from YOU. These collaborations make for a rich feed to explore practices that are doable and miraculously sustainable for you.
