While life on planet Earth is in deep upheaval currently, we have a choice to see this moment as a burden or an opportunity. Being an entrepreneur is a sacred leadership position, with ultimate freedom to lead with our values… or not. It’s our choice. How do we lean into this apocalyptic time bravely, with integrity, and lead with courageous awareness?

This podcast delves into the profound and often challenging journey of religious trauma and the transformative process of healing. 

A connect.faith collaboration

“It's not that you have to buy a bunch of fancy crystals or, activate the chakra. You could do all that, but at any moment can be a ritual.”

- Katherine Newell Okoji

Meet Katherine Newell Okoji, also known as the minister of love in the house. SHe is a ritual crafter. She is a spiritual leader, a speaker, a wife, a mom and interfaith minister, and she is a singer who started five vocal jazz groups! Join us for this sacred time where we discuss:

- How ritual can change your life - Making magic with intentions - Power of Surrender - Integrating belief and faith traditions - Decolonizing our spiritual practices - Rebirthing the voice - Journaling
 

We talk about the importance of ritual in our lives as divine creative beings, finding time and space to be in our bodies, how creativity is infused with ethical manifestation, and we break down (and take down!) the capitalistic, nuanced pressures/container of "productivity". (TW:) We talk about some harder things: quitting on purpose for things that don't serve us, systemic racism, boundaries, parenting, being "cringe", online haters, and making the decision not to take sh*t from people who aren't "in the arena" doing the thing.
We celebrate positive affirmations, creative risk-taking, and daring greatly with our whole essences.

This conversation starts with ritual and craft. Then we move into Katherine's background in The New Thought Movement, a movement behind the philosophy "your thought can change your reality." We delve into some of the history of the New Thought Movement and its ramifications on a society that emphasizes that "you can become anything" while at the same time ignoring societal injustice, systemic injustice, the gifts of sickness and suffering, and various forms of limits to growth. Interwoven in our conversation, Katherine shares pieces of her spiritual journey away from focusing on "manifesting" and towards become a witchy person living in an already enchanted world.
