Episode 35: From Burnout to Contemplation with Phileena Heuertz

Send me a text. What spoke to you in this episode? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2434496/fan_mail/new] What if the busyness pulling you away from God is actually an invitation to go deeper? In this episode of Spirituality on the Go, I sit down with author, spiritual director, and contemplative guide Phileena Heuertz to explore how a life of radical service among the world's poor led her to discover the transformative power of contemplative prayer. We talk about the journey from knowing about God to actually knowing God, the ancient roots of the contemplative tradition, and why solitude, silence, and stillness are not luxuries but lifelines. Whether you're new to contemplative practice or feeling like the well has run dry, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Episode 31: Mary, Don’t Cling

Send me a text. What spoke to you in this episode? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2434496/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I share a poem that arose during a season of longing, grief, and surrender. Drawing from the moment Mary Magdalene stands before the empty tomb, we explore Jesus’ tender words—“Don’t cling”—not as rejection, but as an invitation into a deeper love.
