In this episode of the Main Character Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Chelsea for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about belief, identity, and healing. We talk about the energy behind prayer, the role of astrology and numerology, and how personal experiences shape our understanding of the world.

We explore the balance between masculine and feminine, the tension between patriarchy and feminism, and the work of redefining gender roles—both spiritually and relationally. Chelsea shares her spiritual journey, from Methodist roots to a positive experience with Catholicism, crazy Pentecostal prayer circles to metaphysical practices, guidance by her mentor aunt who helped her unlock intuitive gifts and explore mediumship, and now a relationship with Jesus routed in the Latter Day Saint faith.

We touch on religious trauma, shared dream spaces, déjà vu, and the search for a spiritual path that actually fits. Through stories of adoption, family, and love, Chelsea reflects on the deep inner work that led her to her husband and a relationship rooted in divine timing.

This episode is a raw, thoughtful look at what it means to grow spiritually, challenge inherited beliefs, and move toward wholeness with curiosity and compassion.
