From Spiritual to Spiritually Free with Alexis Germain

What if the peace you keep chasing isn’t something you build, but Someone you meet? Without that Someone, you can ground yourself seven times a day and still feel like you’re tumbling in a dryer full of rocks (like Alexis on today's episode).

Welcome back to Meeting God, a podcast for truth seekers: those who want more than opinions, more than blind belief, and more than religion for show. Today Carlie Zak sits down with Alexis Germain, a nurse and coach focused on identity and burnout who met God just 10 days before we hit record. P.S. her whole career shifted (and so much else) after what happened happened!

 

In This Episode:

Alexis grew up Catholic, rebelled from the strict and scary religion she felt pressured to obey, and then sought peace through New Age spirituality. She shares why it didn't satisfy and what happened the night she told God she didn’t trust Him.

  • Why clarity kept teasing her but never lasted
  • How she was set up to be trained by a medium
  • The words that she hated - spoiler alert - they're "trust, surrender, and obedience"
  • What peace feels like now, even amidst the chaos
  • How journaling became the quiet place where she hears from God
    (and how you can use it to talk with God too)

This Episode Is For You If:

  • You love personal growth and holistic health, and sense spirituality is part of it
  • You’ve tried spiritual practices and yet you know there's more you're missing out on
  • You grew up with a fearful picture of God
  • You’re seeking a foundation that doesn’t shift

Spirituality is part of holistic health, but it deeply matters who it’s anchored in.

“You don’t even have to ask Him to help you! Just tell Him you don’t trust Him, and let Him show you.”   ~ Alexis Germain
