Notes de l’épisode
After the midterm elections, we received comments from women claiming they're "above politics" and that participating in political division means we're still trapped in the matrix.
But does spiritual awakening mean disengaging from the world around us? We see it differently. The deeper our spirituality grows, the more connected we feel to humanity and all of creation. And with that connection comes a responsibility to show up, speak out, and stand up for others.
Because to us, spirituality isn't about transcending humanity. It's about embracing it.

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, Rachel Stewart, co-founder of For11, joins Spirit Outspoken to share the story of her daughter Kennedy, who died of brain cancer at age 10. Rachel and her husband Shane had no religious or spiritual background, and she talks about how they came to feel connected to Kennedy across the veil.
Jaisa and Rachael dig into the medium reading that changed everything for Rachel’s family. She shares how she went from skeptic to trained medium and energy healer, and how Jesus showed up in her journey even though she has never been religious. Rachel also tells what happened when she asked why Kennedy couldn’t be saved, why no words can comfort a grieving parent, and how to show up for friends after loss. She explains why “my beliefs don’t get to trump your experiences” might be one of the most healing things we can say to each other.
If you’re grieving, curious about connecting with loved ones who have passed, or longing for a spirituality big enough to hold your lived experience, this conversation offers comfort, hope and a reminder that love doesn’t end.

Notes de l’épisode
In this Spirit Outspoken minisode, Rachael and Jaisa reflect on the midterm election results, the hope that followed, and the reactions to their posts about the political and religious climate in America.
They dig into the contradictions of Christian nationalism, particularly the irony of Christians advocating for Christianity to influence government while expressing fear that Muslims might seek the very same thing. Why is one group's desire for religious influence seen as acceptable while another's is treated as a threat?
Together, they unpack fears surrounding Sharia law, the rise of Islamophobia, and the importance of understanding what freedom of religion actually means. Religious freedom isn't a privilege reserved for Christians. It's a constitutional protection designed to safeguard everyone from government-imposed religio, including Christians themselves. We explore how the very government overreach and religious influence that some Christian nationalists fear from Muslims are reflected in the policies and actions of the current administration.
The conversation also examines how power, privilege, gender, and political influence shape whose voices are heard and whose rights are protected. What would it look like to build a society that centers vulnerable people rather than protecting the power of the privileged?
Ultimately, this is a conversation about consistency, compassion, religious freedom, and the kind of future we want to create, one where freedom truly belongs to everyone.

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, Rachael and Jaisa sit down for an unplanned conversation about the launch of their brand-new astrology guides and the overwhelming response they've received since Sunday. What started as a personal tool for healing and spiritual growth has turned into something neither of them could have imagined.
Jaisa shares how her journey with astrology began five years ago when her spiritual mentor, Candace, encouraged her to explore her North Node. That discovery sparked years of writing personal reflections, gathering women in circles, and witnessing how deeply these insights could impact someone's relationship with themselves, others, and even God.
Rachael and Jaisa break down their three new offerings: The Letter, The Life Map, and The Parent-Child Map. They explain why their approach isn't about predicting the future, but about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing patterns, healing old wounds, and stepping into who you're becoming. With Rachael's background as a certified integrative health coach, each guide goes beyond astrology to include practical tools, journal prompts, and exercises for real-life transformation.
They also share personal stories about how these insights are changing the way they communicate, parent, and navigate relationships, along with a moving message from a listener that captures why this work means so much to them.
If you've ever been curious about astrology but weren't sure where to begin, or you're looking for a deeper understanding of yourself and the people you love, this conversation offers a refreshing, empowering way to explore what's written in the stars.

Notes de l’épisode
This week's minisode answers a question from Claire N. Foley on Instagram: How do you teach your children about faith? Jaisa and Rachael openly admit they are still figuring this out as they go. However they reflect on how sharing an honest, open-minded take on raising curious kids who feel loved and free to question has been beautiful and helpful within the walls of their homes.
In this episode:- Why it's okay for kids to question, and for parents to say "I don't know"
- Letting go of the pressure to have all the answers
- Resisting the urge to pass down inherited answers. Ask "What do you think?" first
- What kids can teach us, and how a big question from a child can open up a conversation
- Making room for kids to think for themselves, even if they land somewhere you didn't expect
- Mixing traditions: Catholic school and sacraments alongside moon rituals and time in nature

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, pastor and author Kristin Mockler Young returns to Spirit Outspoken to talk about her new book, The Other Side of Certainty. She shares why so many people quietly wonder if they’re crazy or alone for questioning, and why changing your mind is part of growing in faith, not walking away from it.
Jaisa and Rachael dig into deconstruction and the religious shame that keeps so many people performing and proving. Kristin explains how to find your own holy burden instead of feeling guilty for everything you’re not doing, how to trust your discernment and see God in unexpected places, how to stay curious and compassionate with family and friends who don’t understand your journey.and why “I don’t know” can be one of the most faithful answers there is.
If you’re tired of performing, proving or feeling alone in your faith, this conversation offers a more honest, freeing and hopeful way forward.

Notes de l’épisode
What if heaven isn’t a reward waiting at the end of your life, but something you can step into right now?
In this episode, Vinney Tolman, author of The Light After Death, shares the near-death experience that turned his understanding of Christianity upside down. Raised to see life as a courtroom where souls are sorted for heaven or hell, Vinney found himself watching his own death, then being met by a loving guide he later recognized in a family photo as one of his ancestors.
Jaisa and Rachael dig into what he saw on the other side, why he came back feeling more Christian than ever, and what he learned about fear, love and the teachings of Jesus, the one he calls Yeshua.
The ladies also explore whether heaven is a place, a choice or a state of being, why Vinney sees hell as fear we choose until it starts choosing us, and how reincarnation may have once been part of Christian thought.
This conversation is for anyone who was taught to fear the afterlife and is ready to imagine something far more loving.
Vinney Tolman:
Vincent “Vinney” Tolman is the author of The Light After Death: My Journey to Heaven and Back. Since his near-death experience, he has shared his story around the world, inviting people to see heaven, love and faith through a far more expansive lens.

Notes de l’épisode
When the faith you were raised in no longer has room for who you are, where do you go next?
Singer-songwriter Garrison Starr joins Jaisa and Rachael to talk about growing up gay in an evangelical Mississippi community, losing friends and church family along the way, and grieving the beliefs she could no longer hold.

For anyone who's ever felt like they had to choose between being true to themselves and belonging to their faith community.
Garrison Starr:
Garrison Starr is a singer, songwriter and Grammy-nominated record producer whose work spans Americana, indie folk and soul. Her new album, The Gospel Truth, continues her story of healing from an evangelical Christian upbringing.

Notes de l’épisode
The patriarchy didn’t just shape Christianity, it taught women to distrust their bodies, intuition, and spiritual knowing.
In this episode, Chelsea Kim Long, author of Faithfully Dissident Daughters, shares the awakening that led her to rethink purity culture, embodiment, church history, and the divine feminine. This episode provides a deep conversation about what women have been taught to fear, why pregnancy became a turning point in her faith, and what can happen when women begin trusting themselves again.
Chelsea explores how male-centered theology can make God feel distant, how biblical language around birth and being “born again” can open the door to a more feminine understanding of the divine, and why representation matters, in faith, community, and our understanding of God.
The ladies discuss Mary Magdalene, the women surrounding Jesus, and scholarship that questions whether their roles were minimized over time. Chelsea shares the theory that Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene may have been the same woman, why that possibility matters, and how scripture can look different when read through the lenses of mysticism, embodiment, and contemplative Christianity.
This conversation is for anyone deconstructing, reconstructing, or wondering whether a more expansive and life-giving Christianity has been there all along.
Our guest:
Chelsea Kim Long is the author of Faithfully Dissident Daughters and a writer, speaker, and spiritual seeker whose work explores Christianity through embodiment, mysticism, and the divine feminine. Her work invites people to approach progressive Christianity with greater honesty, curiosity, and freedom.

Notes de l’épisode
What happens when you're taught to think critically about everything except your faith? Kristian A. Smith, a pastor, author, public theologian and fifth-generation Baptist preacher, found out on day one of seminary, when a professor told his class the Bible is not the word of God.
In this episode, Jaisa and Rachael sit down with Kristian to talk deconstruction, fear-based religion and what changes when hell is no longer the thing keeping you in line. He shares why Jesus has become a mascot for Christian nationalism, why even Jesus had to evolve, and how honoring lived experience guides the faith community he pastors.
They also dig into his greatest commandment theology, the idea that loving God, loving your neighbor and loving yourself are a package deal, and sit with the big question underneath it all: who is Jesus beyond the way institutions have defined him?
If you've ever been told your questions were dangerous, this one is for you.
Our guest: Kristian A. Smith is a pastor, public theologian, and digital pastor of The Faith Community Virtual, an inclusive, justice-rooted online community where people from all backgrounds can gather, connect, learn, ask big questions, and explore faith together.
He is the author of Question Your Answers: A Deconstruction Survival Guide, a resource for anyone navigating the kinds of questions and shifts this episode explores, as well as his latest book, Breaking All the Rules: An Ancient Framework for Modern Faith, available on Audible and Amazon.
Kristian is also the host (and resident heretic) of Holy Smokes: Cigars & Spirituality, where cigars, laughter, theology, and honest conversation come together to deconstruct harmful beliefs and build beloved community, one cigar at a time.

Notes de l’épisode
If God isn't limited to Jesus, why is Jesus limited to Christianity? In the 100th episode, Jaisa and Rachael wrestle with the question that has shaped two years of Spirit Outspoken: can Jesus exist beyond the boundaries of Christianity?
They go back to the receipts. The light that existed before the sun in Genesis. John 1 and the true light that enlightens everyone. Theosis, and a goal of transformation, not just salvation. Justin Martyr calling Socrates a Christian before Christ. Paul and the altar to an unknown God. The Good Samaritan, theologically wrong and still the hero.
This isn't a finished answer. It's a working thesis, built out loud, and you're invited into it: Christ did not begin at Bethlehem, and wherever love is, God is there.
One hundred episodes in, and it feels like they're just getting started.

Notes de l’épisode
The flags are at half mast for a woman who never held office. That alone tells you something about who Dolly Parton was.
Jaisa and Rachael honor her, and sit with the thing that keeps surfacing as the tributes come in. Conservative Christians and drag queens. The LGBTQ community, the Black community, and the Pentecostal church that raised her. Almost nobody gets claimed by all of those rooms, and she managed it without softening who she was.
They walk through the one room cabin, the eleven siblings, the father who never learned to read. Then the part this show cares about most. Dolly believed there was a God spark in every person and made it her job to go looking for it. She called herself spiritual rather than religious, and refused, repeatedly and on the record, to judge anybody.
Hard to argue with love.

Notes de l’épisode
Jaisa and Rachael hit record on this one at the kitchen table, mid mental breakdown, on the theory that they could not possibly be the only ones.
August 27 was the lunar eclipse in Pisces, and it closed an eclipse cycle that opened in September 2024. Which happens to be the exact month Spirit Outspoken launched. Two years of the Virgo Pisces axis doing its work, and neither of them came out the other side as the same person.
In this episode they get into what that cycle has actually been asking. Virgo wants order and analysis and the reassurance that if you just get everything right, you will be safe. Pisces wants surrender, and faith in what cannot be proven or controlled. Sitting between those two is deeply uncomfortable, and this is an honest account of that discomfort from inside it.
Rachael talks about the chameleon years and what it costs to finally have a voice. Jaisa talks about grieving an identity she spent a career building, and the strange experience of feeling something in your body long before your mind catches up.
If you have mutable placements, or you have just felt unrecognizable to yourself lately, you are not alone. Come lament in the comments.

Notes de l’épisode
Every time we talk about loving our LGBTQ neighbors, the same question shows up in our comments: isn't it our job as Christians to point out sin?
In this bonus episode, priest and public theologian Joash P. Thomas answers it. The only people Jesus talks about judgment with are religious leaders abusing their power. Everyone else gets grace. Joash argues the pressure to correct other people never came from Jesus, it came from colonizers and the western church that learned its theology from them, and he makes his case for LGBTQ inclusion straight from the book of Acts, where the Spirit is always out ahead and the church struggles to keep up.
He also answers the question a family member really asked him, "would you ever marry the gays," with a sacramental answer we did not see coming.
Short episode, big exhale. It brings the whole thing back to love, which was always the point.

Notes de l’épisode
If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more happening around you than what you can see, this conversation is for you.
Kathleen Ives spent kindergarten through 12th grade in Catholic school, eventually swung about as close to atheism as you can get, and today works as a psychic medium and intuitive guide. Somewhere along the way, Jesus reentered the picture unexpectedly. She didn’t go looking for him, and for a long time, she resisted what she was experiencing.
In this conversation, Jaisa and Rachael talk with Kathleen about what it actually means to connect with spirit, how she experiences the unseen world, and why ideas that can sound “woo woo” begin to feel very different when viewed through the lens of energy, frequency, and curiosity rather than fear.
They explore signs, synchronicities, intuition, and the possibility that there may be far more happening around us than we typically notice.
And then the conversation goes somewhere Kathleen never expected: back to Jesus. Not as a figure we’re meant to hand our power over to, but as a healer whose life and teachings may have been pointing toward what is possible within all of us. For Kathleen, Mary Magdalene became an unexpected doorway back to understanding him - and that opens up an entirely different conversation about faith, power, and spirituality.
This episode is an invitation to stay curious about the unseen, loosen our certainty, and consider what might become possible when we stop being afraid of what we don’t yet understand.
Our guest: Kathleen Ives is a spirit medium, intuitive coach, death educator and author who walks women through life's most tender seasons of change, grief and growth. Her work is a reminder that even in the heaviest chapters, it is safe to feel good again.

Notes de l’épisode
What if the fear, chaos and searching all come from one belief, that we're separate from God, from one another, and from the parts of ourselves we were taught to reject? Taylor Perkins joins Jaisa and Rachael for a conversation about union, faith, and the illusion of separation.
Taylor's argument is that the divine was never something outside of us we're straining to reach. We get into Jesus and Krishna, why Jesus kept talking about weddings and bridal chambers, and what "I and the Father are one" actually claims.
Then it gets personal. Reality is a mirror, so the pieces of ourselves we bury keep showing up outside of us. Taylor shares what finally moved a 20 year struggle, and it wasn't fighting harder.
Our guest: Taylor Perkins is a spiritual teacher weaving the Gnostic gospels, the Bhagavad Gita and eastern contemplative traditions into one thesis about union. Follow Taylor: Instagram @iamtaylorperkins TikTok: @iamtaylorperkins.backup

Notes de l’épisode
What if your child isn't giving you a hard time, but telling you exactly what they need? In this episode Jaisa and Rachael use each child's moon sign as a map to what makes them feel safe, what makes them feel threatened, and how they process big emotions.
They open with Proverbs 22:6 and the Hebrew scholarship that reframes "train up a child" as parenting toward a child's natural bend, not forcing them straight, and how the birth chart illustrates that every child is divinely and uniquely made. Then they walk through all 12 moon signs, what each child needs, what to avoid, and the God given design in each, with real stories from their own homes, and close with a simple way to teach kids their own charts.

Episode 93: "No Sex Before Marriage" Isn't Biblical: Rethinking Purity Culture and Sexual Immorality w/ Mattie Mae Motl

Notes de l’épisode
"No sex before marriage" isn't actually in the Bible, and neither is the single "biblical marriage" purity culture sold us. Jaisa and Rachael sit down with Bible scholar Mattie Mae Motl to ask what scripture really says about sex, gender, and sexuality once you strip away the rules we inherited.
They dig into what "sexual immorality" actually meant (exploitative sex, not premarital sex), how religion has long been used to control women's bodies, and why the body is an access to the divine, not an obstacle to it. Mattie shares her own purity culture upbringing, why "praying the gay away" is harmful, why sexuality is a spectrum, and what the Trevor Project data says about affirming homes. It closes on reading the Bible through love of God and neighbor, raising kids around sex without shame, and a little astrology to send us off.
About our guest: Mattie Mae Motl is a Bible scholar and PhD candidate at the University of St Andrews, a writer, creator, mother, and an openly queer voice in this space.

Notes de l’épisode
Deconstruction isn't a crisis of faith, it's a process, and it turns out that process has stages. this week jaisa and rachael walk through the five researched stages of faith deconstruction and reconstruction, and share where they've each landed.
It starts with the catalyst, the wound or question or piece of biblical history that first makes you pause. then questioning and research, where the anxiety of "is any of this true?" lives. then grief, because deconstruction really does cost you certainty, community, and the version of god you were handed. then deconstruction proper, where you decide what stays and read scripture through the fourfold lens the early church used. and finally reconstruction or release, and the question underneath all of it: what does faith look like when it's chosen, not inherited?
Wherever you are in it, you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
Go deeper on the fourfold lens: we break it down through the hot-button Christian topics in our ebook.

Notes de l’épisode
Our friend Joash P. Thomas is back on Spirit Outspoken. He's a priest, a public theologian, and the author of The Justice of Jesus, and this conversation goes deep into mysticism, empire, and the parts of church history nobody taught us in Sunday school.
We start with Mother Mary. Joash opens up about his own mystical experiences with her, and how becoming open to acknowledging the saints can be such a beautiful, supplemental expansion of our faith. From there we talk guardian angels, patron saints, and the communion of saints described in Hebrews 12.
Then we go deeper into history. Joash walks us through the colonial roots of empire, including the surprising, colonial era origin of the phrase "the Great Commission," and why understanding that history frees us from the pressure to convert anyone to our way of thinking. The beauty in what he reveals brings us back to the whole point of the gospels, which is simply to love.
If you've ever felt like your mysticism and your Christianity were at odds, or wondered where some of these teachings actually came from, this episode is for you.
Topics covered: Mother Mary and mystical experience, guardian angels and patron saints, the communion of saints, the colonial history of empire and the Great Commission, and rediscovering love as the true point of the gospel.

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode, Jaisa and Rachael break down one of astrology's most misunderstood placements and why it might be the most important one you've never paid attention to. Your moon sign, who you are when the performance is over. When you're home. When nobody's watching.
They start with the science. The moon pulls ocean tides. It raises and lowers the earth's crust by 30 centimeters. It shifts human sleep cycles, hormonal patterns, and psychiatric episodes. If the moon can do all of that to physical matter, what is it doing to the 60% water that makes up your body?
Then Jaisa shares a stunning synchronicity. A divine appointment that literally stopped traffic to connect her with another cancer mom, and how her moon omens reading that same night explained every single moment of it in real time.
From there they walk through all 12 moon signs. The core emotional need of each one. What it looks like when you're thriving in it. And what happens when you're not.
You'll leave this episode knowing yourself in a completely different way.
This is astrology as a tool for spiritual self-understanding. Not fortune-telling. Not witchcraft. Just a language, one that God can use to speak to you, if you let Him.
In this episode:
•The real science behind how the moon affects your body, your sleep, and your emotions
•Jaisa’s story of divine intervention through a drawbridge in Duluth
•The difference between your sun sign and your moon sign, and why the moon hits different
•A full breakdown of all 12 moon signs: healthy, unhealthy, and what your core need really is
•How understanding moon signs transforms your relationships, your parenting, and your self-compassion

Notes de l’épisode
Jaisa's son's tumor took up ninety percent of his chest. Seven days later, it was gone.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Yuan, a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist who has spent years studying the human biofield, the energy field that modern science can measure but still can't fully explain. We break down a groundbreaking study from MD Anderson Cancer Center, where visualization based healing methods reduced cancer spread in mice by fifty percent, and talk about what that means for the future of medicine.
We also explore the biblical roots of energy healing, including what Jesus may have meant by laying on of hands, and Jaisa shares her own story of watching her son's tumor disappear during his cancer treatment. This conversation sits right at the intersection of faith, science, and mysticism, and it might change how you think about healing.
In this episode, we cover:
- What the human biofield is and how science is beginning to measure it
- The MD Anderson study on biofield therapies and pancreatic cancer cells
- The difference between the Bengston Healing Method, Reiki, acupuncture, and other energy healing practices
- Laying on of hands as one of the oldest recorded healing practices in history
- Jaisa's personal story of her son's cancer diagnosis and recovery
- How energy healing and Christian faith can coexist without contradiction

Dr. Jason Yuan is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist specializing in integrative and functional medicine. He also practices and teaches biofield therapies, drawing on his own healing journey with chronic eczema to help others explore the connection between energy, consciousness, and health.Follow Dr. Jayson on Instagram @Dr. Jayson Yuan ND.

Notes de l’épisode
Abortion and homosexuality. If you grew up in conservative Christianity, you know these are the two issues. The ones that decide votes. The ones churches will not bend on. But what if neither issue started out as the point?
This is part three of our series on the church’s role in building white supremacy in America. In part one, we traced colonization and slavery. In part two, we covered Jim Crow and the civil rights era. In this episode, we follow that same through line of racism forward to the political strategy that focused conservative Christians on abortion and homosexuality, in order to secure the conservative Christian vote and keep the right people in office to uphold segregation.
This episode wraps up our current series on the Christian church’s historical role in building white supremacy in America.
Topics covered: a recap of part one (colonization and slavery) and part two (Jim Crow and civil rights), the political strategy that focused conservative Christians on abortion and homosexuality, securing the conservative Christian vote, and how that vote was used to uphold segregation.

Notes de l’épisode
In part two of this series, Rachael and Jaisa walk through the comprehensive legal system of Jim Crow, the culture of lynching as a celebrated Christian community event, and the documented role of white evangelical leaders in opposing civil rights. We talk about Jerry Falwell Senior's 1958 sermon declaring racial integration a communist plot against God's design. We talk about Billy Graham privately urging Martin Luther King Jr. to slow the movement. And we trace how that same political base shifted from explicit segregation to a new moral framework built around abortion and homosexuality, one that secured the conservative vote without ever having to say the quiet part out loud.
We're also talking about what's happening right now. ICE raids. Murdered activists. The white moderate who opposes injustice but opposes disruption more. And why silence has always been a form of consent.
This is not a comfortable episode. It's a necessary one.
In This Episode
• Jim Crow as a comprehensive legal system, not just a social custom
• Lynching postcards: how Christians documented and celebrated racial murder
• Jerry Falwell Senior's 1958 segregation sermon and the formation of the Moral Majority
• Billy Graham, the white moderate, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail
• The throughline from Jim Crow to today's political landscape
• Reincarnation, karma, and what a just God might actually require

What if the church didn't just fail to stop white supremacy, it helped build it?
In part one of this two-part series, Rachael takes you back to the very beginning. Not the Civil War. Not Jim Crow. 1493. The year the church wrote the theological permission slip for conquest, colonization, and the dehumanization of entire peoples.
This episode breaks down three things most Christians were never taught.
The Doctrine of Discovery. The papal bulls that gave European Christian nations divine permission to claim any land inhabited by non-Christians. This wasn't fringe theology. It shaped everything that came after.
The Curse of Ham. One misread passage in Genesis became the theological engine for chattel slavery. What the text actually says required ignoring the Bible entirely to make the distortion work.
The Pro-Slavery Church. Respected, credentialed, mainstream pastors and entire denominations built a sophisticated Bible-based case for slavery. One denomination was founded in 1845 specifically to protect the right of slaveholders. It is still one of the largest in America today.
This is not a story about bad people doing bad things. This is about a theological system that was carefully constructed, widely taught, and built into the institutions many of us grew up in.

Notes de l’épisode
What if the healing ministry of Jesus was never meant to stop with Him? In this special bonus episode, we sit back down with Charlie Goldsmith, world-renowned energy healer and star of The Healer, for a conversation that started after the cameras stopped rolling and turned into one of the most personally meaningful exchanges we have ever had on this show.
Jaisa opens up about her son's tumor disappearing in seven days, the physical sensations she experienced during that time, and how this conversation finally gave her language for something she has carried for years. Together we explore the idea that what Jesus demonstrated was not exclusive to Him but a blueprint for human potential that the church may have unintentionally buried over centuries.
Charlie also offers a fascinating reframe of forgiveness, original sin, and what Jesus was actually communicating through His healing ministry that cuts through centuries of religious interpretation and lands somewhere surprisingly freeing.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why the healing ministry of Jesus was meant to be a blueprint, not a one-time event
- How Jaisa experienced an unexplained healing with her son and what that might mean
- The connection between energy healing, human potential, and Christian mysticism
- Why putting Jesus on a pedestal may have disempowered the very people He was trying to inspire
- What "the kingdom of God is within you" might actually mean for how we approach healing today
This is a conversation that will expand your understanding of Jesus, of healing, and of the extraordinary potential that may already be living inside you.
