Spiritually Unboxed with Leah Samara | The Spiritual Awakening Former 'Good Christian Girls' Need To Unlock Soul-Aligned Impact
The Spiritually Unboxed Podcast with Leah Samara is the only resource for high-achieving female coaches, thought-leaders, and CEOs who are also former "Good Christian Girls" – who are stepping beyond the limitations of religious, familial, and societal expectations to live an unapologetically authentic and deeply impactful life. Each episode is specifically for women who are navigating both the business and their own personal growth and evolution to show up, shine bright and leave their mark on the world with soul-aligned impact. They also may be navigating a faith crisis, in the midst of spiritual awakening, or in the process of deconstructing religious beliefs and mindsets (sometimes the lingering effects of religious trauma) that have kept them from their true potential. We dive into what it means to experience an authentic faith and personal connection with God without the constraints of traditional religion—freeing you from the box of the 'Good Christian Girl' mindset, and empowering you to lead boldly, authentically, and without burnout. Spiritually Unboxed covers everything from faith deconstruction and leaving behind religious legalism, to embracing God-given leadership and building a life that aligns with your deepest calling. You'll hear powerful stories from visionary leaders who have transcended life's challenges, broken through their unique ceilings, and are living their most impactful lives outside the box. If you're ready to redefine your faith, reclaim your identity, and live in alignment with your divine potential, hit SUBSCRIBE for fiery, unboxed conversations that will inspire you to step into your power and make a bigger impact!
