Spiritual Awakening After Ostomy & Medical Trauma

Your body can change overnight. So can your relationship to meaning, faith, and “why me.”

Two ostomates share how medical crisis cracked open a spiritual awakening, without preaching.

In this episode, we talk about how our health journeys (Crohn’s, ostomy surgery, medical trauma) reshaped our spirituality, our sense of purpose, and the way we interpret “signs,” connection, and healing.

Trina shares a powerful near-death style experience during emergency surgery, including the feeling of peace, familiarity, and a moment of choice. Nicole shares a different path, a slower awakening through medical hardship, grief, and the search for meaning after everything changed.

We also get into past life regression, why it’s so expensive sometimes, what it’s actually like, and why “woo-woo” labels often miss the point. No conversion attempts. Just two women telling the truth and letting you take what helps.
