Inner Compass

As we go through changes in our lives, it’s often messy! We like to think of these times as the caterpillar stage… where you’re going along in life all good and realize maybe you were meant to be different, so you go inside yourself (metaphorically speaking) take a real look at who you are and who you want to be, do the long hard work of morphing, what we call “The Goo Phase” and re-enter life changed and ready for more!  In this episode we share some of our insights during “The Goo Phase".

This episode is a continuation of our individual faith expansions. As we each move forward in our lives outside of Mormonism, with each new nugget of understanding, we find peace and the insatiable desire to learn more, as we have realized how small our view has been. This is an ongoing process that we expect to last through this lifetime. We continue to heal and expand our knowledge as we each continue to turn our wounds into wisdom.

From the time we were children, we were conditioned that our priesthood leaders were there to guide us & had authority over us. We were taught the value of our free agency and personal revelation, but only if it fit within the confines of the church & its priesthood leaders revelation & guidance  they received for us. This left us feeling disempowered, confused and disconnected from our own innate, inner knowing and personal power. Eventually the confusion and heartache was too much to bear. Our own intuitive guidance was not lining up with our priesthood leaders beliefs, doctrines & personal revelation about our personal life . Our priesthood leaders felt justified in their belief & actions in their authority & stewardship over us. Asking us to “align with the brethren & stop sharing messages from deceased loved ones” among several other things they disapproved of. This led to our faith crisis, then our faith expansion beyond The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We each went through the daunting yet liberating process of unraveling a lifelong belief system! When our own inner compass was saying one thing and the church leaders were saying another, which did we choose to follow? For us, the choice was finally clear!  Stay connected with us on Instagram: @kristencarol5 @mothertree_reiki @leilaninumbers @michellpowers

In our last episode, we talked about becoming close friends, and raising our families together. We rediscover our identities after losing ourselves in motherhood. We reclaim and discover our god given gifts, only to find out that those god given gifts were seen as dangerous, and outside the parameters laid out for women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

In this episode we all become neighbors and raise our children together, fully immersed in motherhood and living the gospel within The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.“As we began to share our gifts openly with clients, friends and family, our seemingly idealic “Mayberry” community began to take a drastic turn.In this episode we talk about us sharing our gifts,  and one of the ways Kristen did this was through  writing and recording music.

In this episode, Leilani shares her experience growing up in the high demand religion of Mormonism. Throughout her life, she had many experiences that caused her to carry a lot of shame. This episode illuminates how she outsourced her innate divine worth to many church authorities along the way and ignored her own Inner Compass.*Trigger warning* This episode includes conversations about sexual abuse.

This episode I share a lot of personal, intuitive, & spiritual experiences.  It illuminates how my identity & intuition became enmeshed with the church. These experiences also show how I took the loving teachings of my faithful parents and the tools that my religion gave me, and made the very most of them! In coming episodes you'll see how listening to my own inner compass brought me back to my own authority as I untangle myself from what didn't resonate with me anymore.

Welcome to the Inner Compass Podcast. This podcast is an offering from our hearts! Throughout the first several episodes we will be sharing what we experienced growing up in a high demand religion and what it was like raising our children and becoming close friends and mothers in Mormonism for over 15 years. Each one of us experienced our own personal awakening and faith expansion. Much of that journey we experienced together as we helped each other navigate a very difficult journey. We also look forward to having future guests join us to share their stories of following their own inner compass. We truly believe there is a story inside us all that needs to be shared.Stay connected with us on Instagram: @kristencarol5 @mothertree_reiki @leilaninumbers @michellpowers
