Before I had my son, I wouldn't have described myself as a religious or spiritual person at all. I stayed pretty far away from all of that. After having him and hitting a rock bottom where I felt completely hopeless, alone, and lost, I one day found Gabby Bernstein and my understanding of faith and spirituality changed. My spirituality grew over the years and my practices became more consistent. Having a faith that really resonated with me made all the difference when we found ourselves facing the scariest times of our lives last year when my Mom was diagnosed with cancer. 

One of the greatest lessons I learned after losing my mom was how important it was to lean on my faith. When things look scary or life is extra hard or you or someone you know is facing an overwhelming health diagnosis, we tend to lose a little bit (or a lot) of our faith. Whether a particular religion resonates with you or you are a spiritual being at all, surrendering to your faith in that spirituality is everything. When we do we begin to realize how deeply supported, guided and held we really are. When we are open to our faith, we are open to receiving. That's where the miracles happen. It is in that space we begin to notice the signs that no matter what happens, we have a spiritual support team on our side. 

I still have had so many times when I’ve become distant from my faith. That’s when I feel most alone. I believe we each have a spirit team- guides to show us the way and hold us. Our guides are always there wanting to help. We have to initiate. In my experience they will not step in without permission. 

Having faith to lean on doesn’t mean that everything will always go our way or bad things will never happen. It means that no matter what life brings we are being supported. After my mom passed away I feel like my safety and grounding was lost. She was my safe space. I choose to lean on my faith and my spirit guides. I feel a deeper connection to my guides. I know that my mom is part of my spiritual team now and it’s beautiful.

I hope this episode serves you. I love you.
