What does it mean to embrace the divine feminine while staying rooted in faith in Jesus Christ?In this episode of Verses & Visions: Creative Conversations, I sit down with author and podcaster Ramona Siddoway to explore the intersection of faith, identity, and creativity. Ramona is a nonfiction writer, cozy mystery author (writing as Monica Rivers), and host of the Exploring the Divine Feminine podcast, where she studies scripture and engages scholarly perspectives to better understand the feminine nature of deity.Together, we dive into what it looks like to honor both the masculine and feminine aspects of divine identity—and how that understanding can unlock greater clarity, confidence, and creative freedom.Ramona shares her journey from journalism to authorship, how she balances nonfiction research with fiction storytelling, and why she chooses to create without being driven by external expectations. We also talk about imposter syndrome, comparison, and a powerful mindset shift that can help you keep moving forward—even when self-doubt shows up.This conversation is thoughtful, faith-centered, and expansive—especially for women seeking to better understand their divine identity and creative purpose.✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:*The difference between writing nonfiction and fiction*Why Ramona uses a pen name for her cozy mysteries*Researching the divine feminine in scripture*How to stay grounded in Christ while exploring deeper questions*Letting go of creative pressure and unrealistic expectations*A simple but powerful tool to navigate imposter syndrome*Creating from identity instead of validation🌿 My Personal TakeawayWhen we truly understand who we are as daughters (and sons) of God, we stop creating for approval—and start creating with purpose. This episode is a beautiful reminder that your voice matters, and your work will reach the people it’s meant to.🔗 Resources & Links🌐 Ramona Siddoway’s Website: https://ramonasiddoway.com🎙️ Podcast: Exploring the Divine Feminine (available on all major platforms)📚 Monica Rivers Cozy Mysteries: A Mormon Woman’s Guide to Murder✍️ Read Ramona’s work on Medium💛 Sponsor ShoutoutYou know how much I love sharing stories that inspire faith and hope.
