Tarot, Psychedelics, and Trauma Work—Then Jesus Set Her Free (Sophia’s Testimony)

In Episode 02 of When Heaven Calls, Forest Soleil sits down with Sophia for an honest, unfiltered testimony of spiritual searching, trauma, and the moment everything changed.Sophia shares her journey through New Age spirituality—tarot cards, trauma work, the self help hamster wheel, psychedelics, channeling, and identity rooted in wounding—and how what began as a sincere desire for healing slowly led her into darkness, fear, and spiritual fragmentation. She speaks candidly about the “orphan” identity that shaped her inner world, the grief work that became a trap, and the subtle ways spiritual practices can capitalize on unresolved trauma.This conversation traces the turning point: conviction without shame, a profound encounter with Jesus, and the freedom that came through surrender, repentance, and returning to truth. Sophia reflects on burning tarot cards that once held so much meaning, breaking spiritual agreements, choosing obedience over spiritual highs, and learning what it means to heal in a way that bears real fruit.This episode is for anyone who has:Explored New Age spirituality or trauma-focused healingFelt stuck in grief, identity work, or spiritual strivingQuestioned where certain practices were truly leadingFelt drawn back—or drawn for the first time—to JesusYou don’t need to have everything figured out to listen.
