30. How Going From New Age Spirituality to Jesus was the Missing Piece to my Chronic Gut Issues

Schedule a free discovery call!
 
In this raw and deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the story I’ve never fully told—how I spent years searching for healing in all the wrong places. From energy work and manifestation to breathwork, astrology, and tarot… I tried it all. And while I was chasing “alignment,” my gut symptoms kept getting worse.
It wasn’t until I turned away from New Age practices and gave my life to Jesus that I experienced a true shift, not just spiritually, but physically. My digestion, anxiety, and constant striving began to settle as I learned to rest in Truth, not just tools.
Whether you’ve dabbled in spiritual practices or you’ve felt like healing must be earned through effort and perfection, this one’s for you.
What We Cover in This Episode:
My background in the New Age space and what initially drew me to it
How my obsession with fixing myself led to worsening symptoms
The connection between chronic gut issues and emotional/spiritual unrest
How my earth constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine made me more prone to worry, over-giving, and digestive distress
Why the constant pursuit of “healing” often becomes a stressor itself
The emotional weight of perfectionism, validation-seeking, and self-salvation
What shifted when I found Jesus and how it brought peace to my body, mind, and spirit
Nervous system dysregulation, spiritual deception, and the subtle toll of always “doing more”
Practical steps for nervous system support and grounding your healing in Truth, not trends
