Episode Ninety Eight
Riffin w/ my Bestie on Going to Church, Church Hurt, Religion, Spirituality & Beyond
Riffin with my bestie
In this episode I’m joined by my very wise & beautiful friend, the one & only ~ Alyssa Kuzins! This is not an “interview” it’s more like two besties sitting together with a cup of tea, diving deep into a vortex of conversation & exploring what’s been on our hearts & minds.
If you’ve been following us on Instagram you might have noticed that we’ve been going to a nondenominational Christian church for the past month…& if you thought that seemed kinda out of left field, let me tell ya, we did too!
If you don’t already know us or our work, we are both very spiritual, wild & free, empowered, witchy women, which is why this decision might have some of you scratching your heads in wonder.
In this episode we discuss our why, our experience & we unpack a lot of questions, realizations & findings that we’ve had on our church-going journey.
Buckle up - it’s gonna be a wild ride!
