The Gathering Room Podcast

Faith isn’t something outside you—it’s a muscle you build from within. If you’ve been depending on outside voices or practices to feel okay during these daunting times, I invite you to return home to your own inner knowing. On this episode of The Gathering Room, we’ll quiet the noise, find our stillness, and surrender into the consciousness that holds us always. Join me!
