Do you have to choose between God and spirituality? After a TikTok video on this topic went viral—7,000+ likes and over 1,700 comments—Sam brings the conversation to the podcast to unpack what people are really feeling: a longing for truth, unity, and a spiritual identity that integrates both God and energy, intuition, and personal evolution.

Sam shares her journey growing up Catholic, discovering intuitive gifts, rejecting rigid religious structures, and ultimately realizing that God and New Age spirituality are not opposites—they are interconnected. This episode explores intuition, leadership, past lives, mission, calling, and why so many leaders are waking up to a “both/and” paradigm that doesn’t fit neatly into old boxes.

If you’ve ever felt caught between religion and spirituality, repelled by dogma yet deeply connected to God, or if you’re a leader who knows your mission is bigger than you… this episode will hit home.

KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED

• Why so many people feel torn between God and spirituality

• The divide between religion, New Age spirituality, and the “awakening” happening right now

• Intuition as a spiritual gift—and how everyone has it

• How leaders are being “called” into deeper purpose and mission

• Why old structures are collapsing and what that means for 2026

• The role of God (or Source/Universe) in thought leadership and creative expression

• How surrender, listening, and co-creation accelerate your mission

• Using prayer, nature, and presence to hear divine guidance

• Why your next direction often won’t come from your mind

• How God works through other people, teams, and collaboration

• Stepping into your calling even when it feels terrifying

• The deeper spiritual message behind virality, collective resonance, and the BOTH/AND movement

this episode is a real-time snapshot of what happens before everything clicks — the messy middle between "I want to start a podcast" and a full blown brand being built.

It’s part of an ongoing series where I sit down with our client, Steve Sapourn of the Neuro's Journey, to capture what really happens behind the scenes as my podcast company Voice and Visibility helps him build his personal brand and own his story in real time.

Together, we talk about the energy of visibility, the fear of being seen, and the moment when alignment begins to take shape. Steve shares how he’s finding his authentic voice, shaping his message, and aligning who he is with what he’s creating.

If you’ve ever felt the call to share your story and your voice, this episode will meet you right where you are.
