321: The Power of Permitting Yourself NOT to be You 14.01.2026 36:10
Spiritually and physically, being in the depths of winter means going inward and tending to the seeds that will burst forth come spring. While this all sounds good and nice, what it actually feels like on the human level is being bone tired, unmotivated, and just not yourself. Recently, this showed up for me as choosing ice cream for dinner rather than my typical healthy fare. Immediately, my son&...
320 The Power of Selective Momentum: Move Forward Consciously and Stop Spinning Your Wheels 07.01.2026 42:20
We're in that peculiar space where everyone expects us to be back in full force, and you feel a restless energy wanting to break free. If you're experiencing agitation like you're about to burst—it’s because a new version of you wants to be set free.

It is, however, guiding you to live differently than you did in the past. What You'll Discover: The critic...
318 Silent Night's Secret:Why the Light Needed Her 24.12.2025 33:19
What if the most essential part of the Christmas story—the part that holds the key to your own transformation—has been hiding in plain sight all along?

What happens in that liminal space between releasing who you once were and stepping into who you're becoming? This episode explores the often-overlooked period of transformation—the fertile darkness where new versions of ourselves gestate before emerging into the light. Do you feel the anticipation of what’s emerging from within you? This is your invitation to honor the anticipation itself—t...
316 Knowing in Your Bones: The Path to Embodiment 10.12.2025 36:40
We've all been there—standing in the midst of loss, change, or psychological upheaval, asking "what's the point?" This time of year engaged from a divine feminine approach calls us into a profound death cycle—not of body, but of identity. This cycle isn't meant to destroy you; it's designed to help you embody your deepest truths so completely that you know them in every o...
315 The Sacred Art of Release: How to Truly Let Go of What No Longer Serves You 03.12.2025 36:09
Are you someone who feels like no matter what you’ve tried, you somehow keep creating the same patterns over and over again? Trust me, this isn’t your fault. You’ve been shown how to set intentions, create vision boards, and declare what you want to manifest in the new year—but there’s a crucial component that needs to happen BEFORE in order for your heart’s true desires come forward.

312 My Experiment Addressing Guilt with AI: Soothing vs Transformation 12.11.2025 38:32
I had one of those an “Am I the Asshole” moments that I’ve heard about and quickly became curious about how AI (artificial intelligence) would address my guilt. So I poured my heart out to the cloud and found some surprising benefits, as well as limitations. Join me in this episode as I share the very clear difference between where AI can support us and where it will always fall short in being ab...
311 The Hidden Truth: Why Your Emotions Won't Go Away 05.11.2025 26:56
This is one of the most important podcast episodes I've done, because this is exactly where so many people get confused and struggle. You've been told "you are not your emotions" and to override them with heart energy and love. While that's beautiful and works while you are in a meditative state, the rest of your living life, you are still dealing with your emotions and trigg...
310: The Secret Sauce to Your Specialness - Remembering Your Gifts When You Forget 29.10.2025 44:01
In our hearts, we all desire to be truly seen for the love that we innately are. The problem is we often find ourselves trapped in a painful paradox—believing we're not evolved enough, aligned enough, or simply enough to share who we really are. This episode explores the common road we find ourselves on when we don't feel witnessed from our authentic core, where we cling to false stories a...
Episode 309 Worthy of Overflow: Dropping Your Shields to Give More 22.10.2025 38:51
What if the very independence you've cultivated to protect yourself is actually blocking you from receiving more of life's blessings? This week the Divine continues to nudge me to see where I may be unintentionally blocking my ability to receive through the surprising shield of empowerment! I love to think of all of us as empowered. But lurking in the shadow of repeatedly saying "I...
308 Why Spiritual People Struggle to Receive Their Desires- The Jealousy Paradox 15.10.2025 40:39
You are spiritually-minded, conscientious, and by all means a pretty damn good person. So how on Earth is it that you, of all people, may be more likely to struggle to receive your desires? Well, it is often the well-meaning, but outdated ways we’ve been made to believe what makes us “good.” I invite you to join me as I share my recent experience with jealousy, how I saw my own self-sabotaging b...
307: Feeling Numb? The Anesthesia of Awakening 08.10.2025 29:20
What if the numbness you're feeling isn't a sign that something's wrong with you, but rather evidence that you are entering a new phase of life? In this deeply vulnerable episode, we explore a part of the human journey that rarely gets discussed—that uncomfortable space where you feel stuck, empty, and disconnected despite having "done all the work." Part of the reason this r...
306: How to Face Ego Backlash and Honor the Unknown 01.10.2025 29:19
What happens after you finally do the brave thing? Here’s a normal part of the human messiness we don't talk about enough: the anxiety that can show up after you've already taken the courageous step. My last two podcasts on a Priestess and a Pastor brought up what I call "ego backlash"—that last-ditch attempt of the ego to pull you backinto safety. It's like I've alread...
305: A Priestess & A Pastor - Part 2 Finding Common Sacred Ground 24.09.2025 1:02:55
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what deepening my relationship with the Divine has really looked like — and why I’m grateful for every twist and turn along the way. While I loved church as a child and always felt spiritually connected, there have been many turning points that challenged everything I thought I knew. Each step toward my spiritual truth required me to face fear — and each time, I was...
304 Bonus Episode on Un-Bracing 18.09.2025 4:55
This is a super quick bonus episode in keeping true to sharing with you the raw aspects of my life. I'm sharing my journey from unknowingly bracing my heart against life's impact, to experiencing the powerful transformation of having my heart broken open—more fully and beautifully—through the power of love.

303 A Pastor & A Priestess: Finding Common Sacred Ground 17.09.2025 56:33
If you ever struggle with the faith that you were raised in, felt like you didn’t belong, or spiritually homeless, this episode is for you. In this episode of I’m Perfectly Divine, I am interviewing the pastor of Ozaukee Congregational Church, Jeff Larson. This is the church my family belonged to for almost twenty years, but one I didn’t attend most of the time because I felt I didn’t fit. This...
302: What to Do When That 'Not Good Enough' Voice Shows Up 10.09.2025 28:11
That feeling of “I’m not good enough,” hits us all at times. It is such a common and universal struggle, and yet we are taught to hide this part of us. The hiding then becomes insidious exactly because we are believing there is something innately wrong with ourselves. So, when that “I’m Not Good Enough” feeling arose within me, I wanted to share with you exactly how I process it in real time. Tu...
Episode 301 I’m So Messy: Season 3 Truth-Telling Begins 03.09.2025 35:51
Welcome to Season 3 of I’m Perfectly Divine Podcast! The best way I can attempt to describe this next season is similar to the song Messy by Lola Young, but more spiritual and willing to take radical responsibility for anything that feels limiting to you. What I love about the song is the bravery to speak the complexity we feel being human. The courage to let go of trying to prove yourself and...
253: Remembering the Love You Are 28.08.2025 29:29
The greatest source of your spiritual power has been hidden from all of us in plain sight. My belief is this has been purposefully done to us, as a means of control. Now we have the opportunity to reclaim your truest, most loving self through a gateway that you’ve been taught to distrust. Drawing from ancient texts that were buried for nearly 2,000 years, let’s explore how we’ve been deliberate...
252: What If Emotional Regulation Isn’t the Goal? - Signs You Are Ready for the Next Phase 20.08.2025 40:23
Most of us have been taught there are only two ways to handle emotions: either you're "regulated" and in control, or you're a hot mess on an emotional rollercoaster. Of course, given those choices, we're all going to try to be regulated. No one wants to feel like they're constantly reactive or creating drama. So we learn all the tools—breathing techniques, exercise, meditation, or prayer. Maybe...

In this personal follow-up episode, you will find out what evening practices I encourage that support you in mind, body, spirit and emotion.

250: Morning Magic - Practices that Quiet Anxiety & Awaken the Sacred 06.08.2025 27:11
Are you starting your mornings in a way that truly honors your essence—or just reacting to the world before you've rooted into yourself? We’ve heard the importance of a morning routine, but not one that includes the spiritual and psychological. The fact is that you are a co-creator and how you start your morning sets the tone. Join me to discover: - How to tap into remembering how you want t...
