    From ‘Good Girl’ to God-Aligned and Glowing: Jenny’s Story of Spiritual Awakening After Religion - #028

    Send Me A MessageWhat happens when a high-achieving woman finally lays down the pressure to be everything for everyone… and learns to be her true self with God?Meet Jenny.A devoted mum, wife, and business owner, Jenny came into our work together knowing something wasn’t quite right. On paper, she had it all—success, family, faith—but inside she felt stuck. Disconnected. Drained. And caught in a loop of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant “proving.”She wasn’t looking to burn her life down—she just wanted to feel peace again. Clarity. Joy. And real connection with God and herself.✨ In just a few short weeks inside my private mentoring space, Jenny:Let go of proving energy and started resting in her God-given identity.Forgave herself for “failing” as a mum—and traded guilt for grace.Felt closer to God than she had in over a year… and even started experiencing fun in her relationship with Him!Swapped mental chaos for trust, clarity, and the confidence to move with her intuition.Created a blank slate of contentment—and is now dreaming BIGGER, with the world at her feet.Her words?“I’m thrilled with all the progress I’ve made so far! I can’t even go through all the celebrations, there’s too many!”This is what happens when a smart, brilliant, purpose-led woman dares to do the inner work. When she says no to guilt, and yes to grace. When she stops asking who she should be, and starts becoming who God actually made her to be.This is spiritual healing without bypassing the real work. This is purpose without burnout. This is what happens when you co-create with Jesus.💫 If you're a high-capacity woman who’s tired of feeling stuck in your head, disconnected from God, or guilty for craving more — watch Jenny’s story now.

This is Jennie’s story.After an “absolutely horrible and unfulfilling” $10K+ trip to Santorini (her words, not mine!), Jennie knew something had to shift. She is a high-achieving Christian woman who wanted to live with purpose, feel connected to God, and finally use her gifts to create impact—but instead, she felt exhausted, spiritually blocked, and full of self-condemnation.That’s when she started working with me (Leah Samara)—and everything changed.✨ In just a few weeks, Jennie:Released religious guilt and reconnected with the real Jesus—gentle, loving, present.Felt the unconditional love of God and herself, maybe for the first time.Sat with the emotions she’d avoided for years—and came out lighter, clearer, and energised.Found fresh vision for her fashion business that gives back to communities in Thailand.And—unexpectedly—experienced a complete shift in her marriage of 15 years.Her words?“Seriously, we haven’t talked like this in 15 years. I remembered why I loved him.”This is faith deconstruction with God, without losing yourself (or your faith). This is spiritual healing with clarity, purpose and power. This is what happens when you move from striving to resting in grace.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from God, exhausted by religion, or unsure how to build a life that’s soul-aligned and Holy Spirit-led - this story will give you so much hope!Tap the link to watch Jennie’s full story and hear how working together brought her back to God, her purpose, and her peace.Click here to unleash 100x more impact!Make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a show!

    Faith Deconstruction: Spitting Out The Poison of Toxic Submission Doctrine #021

    Send Me A MessageMany women in religious Christian churches have swallowed the bitter poison of toxic submission doctrine.... that little phrase "wives, submit to your husbands" that sends ripples anxiety through many women that has often been administered to keep women silenced and compliant.As little girls we've watched as our moms had to submit to abusive, incompetent, negligent or passive men.We've dulled ourselves down and pretended we're not smarter than the men in our spheres (along with any desire or skill we have to lead).We’ve silenced ourselves as we’ve encountered men who’ve demanded it from us in the very spaces that should’ve been safest. We have felt trapped.We have felt powerless.We have been stripped of our voice and our brilliance as women in the name of this teaching.This has impacted the voices, self-worth and self-belief.. along with their ability to just have beautiful, safe, nourishing relationships.This is one of the major reasons women leave church, and walk away from God himself.Because how could an all-loving God expect this of us?THIS is why we needed to have this discussion.A deep discussion about the poison, scripture, the wounding, God's view and how we move beyond all of these triggers to have healthy relationships with men in harmony with God's original intention for us.Listen NowScriptures Referenced in this episode - Ephesians 5:21, 24, 33Genesis 3:16Colossians 3:18Titus 2:51 Peter 3:1-22Click here to unleash 100x more impact!Make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a show!
