Embodied Spirituality is a space for conversations about rebuilding faith and identity after spiritual deconstruction. I’m Hailey Mitsui, a Spiritual Director and Somatic Practitioner, shaped by the Evangelical Christian culture of the ‘90s and 2000s. In my work, I meet with people navigating the aftermath of religious trauma, and two recurring themes often surface: the profound loneliness and the fear of ”getting spirituality wrong” in the process of reconstruction.
This podcast isn’t about offering a single path or theology. Instead, it provides a glimpse into the diverse journeys of individuals reconnecting with themselves, the Divine, and supportive communities. Each episode gently invites listeners to explore resources and practices—without obligation or prescription—reminding us that we’re all in this process together.
You’re not alone. We’re all finding our way.

In this episode, Hailey is joined by creative contemplative Leonetta Elaiho. They talk about their shared history as little-church-worker-bees and the process of transcending and including all parts of themselves and their journey. Leonetta shares how centering queer Black women has breathed new life into her spirituality and activism and the spiritual practice that feels most alive to her right now - gazing.
This heartfelt episode weaves together themes of identity, spiritual awakening, and the courage to forge authentic paths of faith. Whether you're questioning your own spiritual journey or curious about inclusive approaches to spirituality, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on finding sacred ground in unexpected places.
Leonetta is a creative contemplative that thrives at the intersection of culture, spirituality, and social justice, where she advocates for radical inclusion. As a consultant and spiritual companion, she supports BIPOC leaders' wellness and liberation through teaching and operational leadership, healing modalities, and spiritual care. She is the founder and CEO of Beautifulle (pronounced beauty-fully) where you can learn more about her work.
