In this special conversation with Alyssa Stefanson, I’m sharing how grief, loss, and some of the hardest seasons of my life became catalysts for a deeper spiritual awakening. We talk about the evolution of my work from fitness and nutrition into soul work, what it has looked like to go inward during major life upheavals, and the new tools that began opening as I learned to trust my intuition more deeply. I also share how some of these spiritual gifts showed up in childhood, why stepping out of the “spiritual closet” felt vulnerable, and how the loss of my son changed the way I understand grief, signs, and connection beyond what we can physically see. We also talk about Soul Writing Out Loud, the vision behind the show, surrender, manifestation, and what I feel called toward next. This episode is for anyone navigating grief, spiritual awakening, intuition, or a season where your life feels like it is being rearranged from the inside out. I hope this conversation reminds you that your hardest experiences can become powerful initiations, that you do not have to force every next step, and that learning to trust your inner knowing can completely change the way you move through your life.
