Trust The Voice Within with Former Nun & Inner Compass Coach, Toni LaMotta

Send us Fan MailWhy do we resist the quiet voice within?Fear can sound like wisdom when it’s loud enough. That’s why I wanted to sit down with Toni LaMotta, a former nun who spent 16 years in a convent and still speaks with refreshing honesty about faith, silence, and spiritual growth. We get into what it really means to follow an inner compass, how you recognize the difference between anxiety and guidance, and why so many of us resist the quiet voice within, even when we say we want God to lead.We also dig into tools you can actually use. Toni shares how journaling for self-discovery can become a daily practice of discernment, including structured methods that help you revisit your story and hear what’s true underneath the noise. Then she introduces two frameworks that stick: the “three faces of God” (beyond us, beside us, within us) and the distinction between the “barking dog” voice and the voice of spirit. If you’ve ever thought, “I knew I shouldn’t have done that,” this conversation gives you language for why that happens and how to respond with compassion instead of self-attack.From there, we bring in the Enneagram as a map from ego patterns to your essence, especially for high achievers who feel trapped in doing instead of being. I also share my ICU miracle and why surrender is not just a crisis move, it’s a daily spiritual practice, including what it looked like to experience peace in grief after my father’s death. If you’re searching for divine purpose, Christian encouragement, and practical ways to release doubt, press play and stay with us to the end.
