I used to think prayer was… well, asking for what I wanted. 🙃
I’d throw up requests to the universe (or God) like a cosmic wishlist—hoping for quick fixes, big breakthroughs, and answers that aligned perfectly with my plan. Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works. 😅
In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of completely rethinking prayer—how I went from skeptical and disillusioned to experiencing something way deeper than I ever expected. I’ll talk about:
✨ How my prayers shifted from selfish demands to real surrender ✨ Why embracing the mundane (yes, even the messy parts) is actually the key to connection ✨ My take on what I call “dog sh*t spirituality” 🐕💩—and why it’s more powerful than you think ✨ The magic that happens when we stop trying to control everything and actually live life on life’s terms
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from prayer or struggled with spirituality, this one’s for you. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it might just change the way you see things.
