    Episode 18—Leaps of Faith, Manifestations, and Miracles
    Jul 31 2025
    Episode 18—Leaps of Faith, Manifestations, and Miracles In Episode 18 of From the Shadow to the Light, we explore the life-changing moment I took a leap of faith despite fear and debt—and how the universe responded in ways I never expected. From manifestation and synchronicity to grief and divine signs, this episode is a powerful exploration of trusting the process, releasing control, and receiving miracles when you least expect them. Show Notes Episode Title: Leaps of Faith, Manifestations, and Miracles Episode Number: 18 Welcome to Episode 18 of From the Shadow to the Light, where we dive into Chapter 18 of my memoir, Struck by Lightning: My Journey from the Shadow to the Light. In this episode, I share a pivotal point in my journey—where taking a leap of faith, trusting my intuition, and embracing the unknown brought about manifestations and miracles I could never have imagined. From risking everything to join a coaching program while deep in debt, to witnessing the law of attraction unfold in stunning ways, this episode uncovers the power of trusting the process, shifting thought patterns, and letting go of control. Even in grief, I found signs of spiritual presence, reminding me that miracles often appear when we least expect them. Join me as we explore how surrendering to the unknown becomes the gateway to divine alignment and transformation. Reflective Questions Theme 1—The Crossroads of Change When have you found yourself at a crossroads, doing everything right but still not feeling fulfilled or moving forward?How did you respond to that moment in your life?Is there something you've been holding back from asking for out of fear of hearing 'no'? What would happen if you gave yourself permission to ask for it today? Theme 2—Taking the Leap of Faith Can you remember a moment when you were faced with a leap of faith?How did you feel when you took that first step into the unknown, and how did that decision change you?Is there something in your life right now that you're holding back from due to fear? What would it take to trust yourself and take that leap? Theme 3—Manifestation and the Power of Thought What are the thoughts you're focusing on right now? Are they aligned with abundance or scarcity?How might those thoughts be shaping your reality?Can you think of a time when shifting your mindset significantly changed your life? Theme 4—Synchronistic Events and Letting Go Is there a situation in your life where you're trying to control the outcome?What might happen if you let go and trusted the process instead?Have you experienced a time when things didn't go as planned but worked out even better than you imagined? Theme 5—Finding Faith in Grief Think about a time when grief felt overwhelming for you.How did you find comfort or connection during that time?Is there a way that grief has strengthened your faith or your connection to a higher power? Conclusion As we close Episode 18, we've explored the profound moments when life asks us to take a leap of faith, trust in the unseen, and allow the universe to work its magic in ways we never could have imagined. Whether it was trusting an intuitive nudge despite financial risks, embracing the power of thought to manifest abundance, or learning to let go of the need to control outcomes, each step in this journey brought its own powerful lesson. Today, we were reminded how deeply connected we are to the energy around us. The law of attraction, synchronistic events, and even moments of unexpected miracles show us that when we align ourselves with intention, the universe responds. But, perhaps more importantly, we've also seen how letting go—releasing the need to dictate how and when things should unfold—opens the door for even more significant outcomes than we could have planned. We've also touched on the role of grief as a powerful teacher, showing us that even in moments of deep sorrow, there is faith to be found. As hard as it is, grief can be the space where we reconnect with our higher power, the universe, or those we've lost. It's a reminder that Light is always waiting for us through the darkness if we are open to receiving it. Whether it's a penny from heaven or an unexpected message of comfort, these moments help us find our way forward when we feel lost. Life's journey is filled with moments like these—moments when we take a leap, surrender control, and discover the power of trusting the process. Thank you for joining me on today’s From the Shadow to the Light podcast. As we prepare for our next episode, “Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs,” we’ll explore how limiting beliefs become truths, how smashing those beliefs allows time to speed up, and much more. I look forward to having you with me on the next step of our journey together. We hope this episode helps you reflect on your journey and uncover meaningful insights.

    The 12 Steps and Beyond
    Jul 24 2025
    Episode 17—The 12 Steps and Beyond In Episode 17 of From the Shadow to the Light, we explore what it means to live the Twelve Steps—not just as a path to sobriety, but as a spiritual framework for living. Life after rehab brought new challenges and unexpected gifts, as I learned to apply the principles of recovery to every corner of my life. This episode uncovers the ongoing journey of integration, surrender, and transformation. Show Notes Episode Title: The 12 Steps and Beyond Episode Number: 17 Welcome to Episode 17 of From the Shadow to the Light, where we dive into Chapter 17 of my memoir, Struck by Lightning: My Journey from the Shadow to the Light. In this episode, I share the vulnerable and powerful moments that followed my release from rehab—moments of uncertainty, surrender, and awakening. From finding my AA home group to applying spiritual principles to my business, and from embracing structure to releasing resentment, I discovered that recovery extends far beyond abstinence. It’s a way of living with integrity, service, and deep spiritual connection. Reflective Questions Theme 1—Re-Entering Life Post-Rehab How can you bring the lessons and spiritual energy you've gained from your recovery journey into your daily life, even when the world feels overwhelming?Think about a time when you experienced a significant change or transformation. How did you maintain the lessons you learned and the clarity you gained once you returned to your everyday routine?What internal or external challenges do you anticipate—or have faced—when stepping back into life after a major healing moment? Theme 2—Embracing the Musts of Recovery When did you last feel a deep sense of stillness or presence during a difficult time? What did that moment reveal?What are the “musts” in your life that you've been resisting, and how might embracing them change your path?How do you discern the difference between something you should do and something you must do in your healing journey? Theme 3—Finding Your Place in AA and Learning to Trust Have you found a community where you feel truly seen and supported? How has this sense of belonging helped you in your recovery?In your own life, where have you found a sense of belonging, a place where you feel understood and accepted just as you are? How has this sense of community impacted your journey of growth or healing?What does trust mean to you now, and how has your understanding of it evolved through community? Theme 4—Applying the Twelve Steps to Every Aspect of Life How have you applied the principles of the Twelve Steps beyond your sobriety, perhaps in your work, relationships, or personal growth? How has this expanded your sense of purpose?Think about a time when you faced a challenge or setback. How did you use the lessons you learned from that experience to create a positive change in another area of your life?How might you begin to integrate spiritual principles into an area of your life that still feels disconnected or rigid? Theme 5—The Power of Forgiveness and Letting Go Is there someone you need to forgive, including yourself? What would it mean for you to let go of that resentment and find freedom?Think about a situation or person who has caused you pain. How might practicing forgiveness help you release that burden and move forward with greater peace, even if it feels difficult?What emotions surface when you consider true forgiveness—and how might holding onto those emotions be keeping you stuck? Conclusion As we close Episode 17, we're reminded that the journey of recovery, healing, and transformation is not a straight path but a continuous cycle of growth, reflection, and renewal. The Twelve Steps provide a foundation—a way to rebuild our lives from the ground up—but it's what we choose to do beyond those steps that truly defines our journey. It's about taking what we've learned and using it as a guide to navigate every challenge, opportunity, and relationship that life brings. Today, we explored the power of stepping back into life after rehab, the importance of surrendering to the "musts" of recovery, the value of finding a community where we feel seen and understood, the ability to apply the Twelve Steps to all aspects of life, and the profound impact of forgiveness. These themes remind us that real change isn't just about putting down the drink, the drug, or whatever shadow has held us back; it's about stepping into the light, fully embracing who we are, and allowing ourselves to grow into the person we were always meant to be. Thank you for joining me on today’s podcast of From the Shadow to the Light. As we prepare for our next episode, “Leaps of Faith, Manifestations, and Miracles,” we’ll explore how we begin to see that we are the creators of our own reality—how every thought, every belief, and every action shapes our lives. We hope this episode helps you reflect on your journey and uncover meaningful insights. Be ...

    Episode 16—Spiritual Awakening and Rebirth
    Jul 17 2025
    Episode 16—Spiritual Awakening and Rebirth In Episode 16 of From the Shadow to the Light, we explore the moment when surrender becomes the gateway to something greater. After years of struggling with addiction and control, I found myself in detox—exhausted, broken, and uncertain. Yet it was in that very place of darkness that the Light began to break through. This episode uncovers the awakening that followed surrender: a spiritual rebirth guided by trust, divine symbolism, and the courage to reclaim my authentic self. Show Notes Episode Title: Spiritual Awakening and Rebirth Episode Number: 16 Welcome to Episode 16 of From the Shadow to the Light, where we dive into Chapter 16 of my memoir, Struck by Lightning: My Journey from the Shadow to the Light. In this episode, I share how my spiritual awakening began not with clarity or control, but with letting go. Through powerful visions, raw vulnerability, and group therapy, I began to unmask the roles I'd played for survival and reconnect with the woman I truly was. From surrendering in detox to experiencing symbolic dreams and reclaiming my soul, this journey marked the beginning of a profound rebirth. It wasn't the end of my healing—but the beginning of trust, peace, and purpose. Reflective Questions Theme 1—The Beginning of Surrender Have you ever stepped into a new chapter of your life filled with hope, only to find yourself facing unforeseen challenges that tested your resolve?How have small decisions unexpectedly impacted your relationships with others?In times of conflict, how do you find common ground or seek resolution, especially when emotions run deep? Theme 2—The Journey Within When did you last feel a deep sense of stillness or presence during a difficult time? What did that moment reveal?How do you reconnect with your soul or inner self when the noise of life gets loud?What parts of yourself are asking to be seen, acknowledged, or healed beneath the surface of your daily life? Theme 3—Visions of Healing Have you ever received a vision, dream, or image that felt like a message from something greater? How did it affect you?Are there patterns or "wars" in your life that keep repeating? What do they symbolize for you?What emotional or spiritual wounds may still ripple through your life and relationships, waiting for deeper healing? Theme 4—Unmasking and Reclaiming My True Self What masks have you worn to protect yourself, and are they still serving—or limiting you?Who might you become if you stopped trying to appear strong, perfect, or in control all the time?How can you reclaim the parts of yourself that were abandoned to survive? Theme 5—A New Beginning What part of your life quietly invites you to start fresh—with new trust, purpose, or faith?How might trusting in a higher power—or your inner knowing—give you the courage to step forward?What would living in alignment with your true self look like right now, even if only in small ways? Conclusion As draw this episode to a close, we reflect on our profound journey together. From hopeful beginnings to the emotionally raw space of intensive therapy, this chapter reveals that healing is not linear—it is layered, challenging, and deeply personal. I'm reminded that the final curtain on my marriage also marked the beginning of discovering myself more honestly than ever before. True change began when I stopped pointing outward and started looking inward. As we close Episode 16, we're reminded that spiritual awakenings rarely come when life is neat, tidy, or under control. They arrive when we're brought to our knees—when we've surrendered, stripped down the masks, and asked for help from something beyond ourselves. My rebirth began in detox, but it wasn't the medicine or the program that transformed me—it was the surrender. It was trusting the Light enough to let it break through the cracks. Today, we explored the beginning of surrender, the quiet emergence of inner stillness, the power of symbolic visions, the unmasking of false selves, and the possibility of a new beginning. These themes point us toward something deeper: that healing begins when we stop performing and start listening—when we choose to trust that something holy is already within us, waiting to be remembered. Thank you for joining me on today's podcast, From the Shadow to the Light. As we prepare for our next episode, "The 12 Steps and Beyond," we'll explore how we begin to live the Twelve Steps not just in recovery—but in life, work, and spirit.
