Own It with Samantha Warren

Do you have to choose between God and spirituality? After a TikTok video on this topic went viral—7,000+ likes and over 1,700 comments—Sam brings the conversation to the podcast to unpack what people are really feeling: a longing for truth, unity, and a spiritual identity that integrates both God and energy, intuition, and personal evolution.Sam shares her journey growing up Catholic, discovering intuitive gifts, rejecting rigid religious structures, and ultimately realizing that God and New Age spirituality are not opposites—they are interconnected. This episode explores intuition, leadership, past lives, mission, calling, and why so many leaders are waking up to a “both/and” paradigm that doesn’t fit neatly into old boxes.If you’ve ever felt caught between religion and spirituality, repelled by dogma yet deeply connected to God, or if you’re a leader who knows your mission is bigger than you… this episode will hit home.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDWhy so many people feel torn between God and spiritualityThe divide between religion, New Age spirituality, and the “awakening” happening right nowIntuition as a spiritual gift—and how everyone has itHow leaders are being “called” into deeper purpose and missionWhy old structures are collapsing and what that means for 2026The role of God (or Source/Universe) in thought leadership and creative expressionHow surrender, listening, and co-creation accelerate your missionUsing prayer, nature, and presence to hear divine guidanceWhy your next direction often won’t come from your mindHow God works through other people, teams, and collaborationStepping into your calling even when it feels terrifyingThe deeper spiritual message behind virality, collective resonance, and the BOTH/AND movement🥳 RESOURCES + LINKSWork with Sam @ Voice and Visibility: Book a Call HereJoin My Newsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on InstagramFollow Samantha on TiktokSubscribe on YoutubeOwn It with Samantha Warren🔦Take the Mic 🔦Own the SpotlightGod and spirituality, both and spirituality, God vs new age, spiritual awakening 2025, intuition and God, thought leadership spirituality, God in business, spiritual gifts, leaders and intuition, energy and God, non-religious spirituality, Catholic trauma healing, divine guidance, God and intuition, spiritual alignment, purpose and mission, surrender and calling.
