Enlightened with Sophia Spallino | a Personal Development Podcast

Colby Martin bravely answers hard questions that the Christian church avoids like the mosaic plague or worse, aggressively responds to with clobber verses meant to undermine the identities of the LGBTQIA+ community: Can one be a true Christian and actually believe that being queer is NOT a sin?  Having experienced his fair share of pain and rejection from mainstream Christianity, Colby is awake to the flaws, tragic missteps, and misplaced earnestness that too often define the direction of the church. Yet God’s vision for creation as revealed in Jesus still compels him to remain in progressive Christianity. Colby is the author of two books (UnClobber: Rethinking our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality; and The Shift: Surviving and Thriving after Moving from Conservative to Progressive Christianity); he hosts a podcast with his wife, “The Kate & Colby Show,” and he and his wife founded and lead a progressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming Christian church in San Diego called Sojourn Grace Collective. This episode covers topics like: 🔥Being fired by a church for supporting the LGBTQIA+ community  🏳️‍🌈Adopting with inclusion theology and disproving clobber verses 💋 Can you can be POLYAMOROUS and be a Christian? ⚓️Advice to parents of queer children  ⛪️Can you *actually* be a “true Christian” and believe that being gay isn’t a sin and stay in church? 💜Sharing what it’s like to have a bisexual wife as a pastor 🙋‍♀️Questioning pastors and religious authority — the two questions you need to ask directly to your leaders to find out if your church is *actually* all-loving and affirming or insidiously bait and switching  🙏🏽Reckoning with deconstruction and perhaps reconstruction ✝️Exploring the idea that “Not all Christians” are part of the problem Recommended Resources: 1:1 Coaching with Sophia SOPHIA'S LIVE, VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS: Join the live, virtual Curious & Cumming Out - Live, Virtual Sex & Sexuality Workshop  Join the live, virtual  Releasing Religious Indoctrination Workshop  ⛓🙌This workshop is for you if you’re ready to take the next step in releasing the fear of sin and shame surrounding your sexuality and evolving spirituality as you leave traditional religion. ❓What to expect:  ✨3 hours of intentional time together ✨Healing through shared experiences  ✨Quantum healing through guided mediation ✨Real world application: a closing embodiment exercise to take with you Learn more about Colby Martin: Get in touch: colbymartinonline.com UnClobber Online Course: https://courses.unclobber.com UnClobber the Book (2nd Edition): https://amzn.to/3Jk628p The Kate & Colby Show: thekateandcolbyshow.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/colbymartin/ It's time to set yourself FREE, Lovely One!  Thank you for supporting my labor of love by sharing screenshots of the podcast, subscribing, and by pledging to contribute.

Can you confidently communicate your desires in bed and play with dominant and submissive energy? In this episode, I talk about the taboo with a cisgender, heterosexual man...Can you believe that?!  I like to think of Jeff Damisse as evidence for you straight ladies that evolved, conscious, yet highly dominant sexual men do exist. This is a sexy conversation you will surely enjoy…whether you are queer or straight! So grab a glass of wine and an extra pair of lacy panties — the show is about to begin! Jeff Damisse is not a celebrity or coach; he is simply an authentic, evolving man out in the world that I want to give a seat at my table. He happens to be a corporate executive who was raised in Haiti by a conservative religious family. Thankfully, Jeff grew into his sexual manhood after leaving his conservative religious family unit. In an effort to expand his views on relationships, Jeff hosts the Introspect Club Podcast where he interviews guests with VERY unique lifestyles, sexual careers, and wild experiences.  Claim my FREE GIFTS to you: MANIFESTATION HACKS EBOOK and SKINCARE RECOMMENDATIONS IN ORDER OF APPLICATION FOR BOTH DAY AND NIGHTTIME when you join my email list for FREE... https://linktr.ee/sophiaspallino This episode covers topics like: 🍝Our experiences growing up in purity culture and expanding our sexual and spiritual palettes 👅Learning how to please women from his lesbian ex-girlfriend  💦How to go down on a woman for the first time 🛏Confidence and communication in bed 😏Taboo and kink…like public sex experiences 😈Submissive, dominant, and switch dynamics in both hetero and homo relationships  Recommended Resources: Untamed by Glennon Doyle Coaching with Sophia Learn more about Jeff Damisse: Follow him personally on IG: @J.Damisse Follow his show on IG: @Introspect_Club  Subscribe to his podcast: INTROSPECT CLUB Follow his show on TikTok: @Introspect_Club It's time to set yourself FREE, Lovely One!  I hope you benefit from ENLIGHTENED. If you feel comfortable to share how the show is touching your heart, please leave a rating and review on iTunes or the Apple Podcast App. It will only take a minute, but genuine reviews are vital to the success of my show, so please review by tapping here.

*recorded before I realized I was a lesbian* Want to learn how to manifest anything you dream of...even your soulmate? Today I share my interview as a guest on "This Spiritual Fix." If you want to learn more about feeling worthy, attracting your desires, and consciously navigating the dating game, you will not want to miss this episode! I am honored to share my interview on the "This Spiritual Fix" podcast. Although this episode was recorded when I was in a happy relationship with a man before realizing my true sexuality as a woman who loves women, the manifesting rules and tips still apply. I really believe the secret to manifesting what you want is to believe you are worthy to receive your heart’s desires. According to Anna and Kristina of TSF, "A modern day Pygmalion (the Greek fable of the sculptor who brings his perfect wife to life from statue-form), Sophia gifts our podcast with enthusiasm, magic, and concrete tools that she uses with her clients to enhance their sense of worthiness." We even talk about what hidden limitations may be preventing you from harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction to bring you the partner you desire.

What's it like when you put an atheist and spiritual human together on a podcast? We just might have more in common than you think...starting with religious trauma. “Eve_WasFramed” is an atheist ex-vangelical, a little nickname for us humans leading the ex-evangelical church movement. This radiant, all grown up and evolved minister’s kid has made it her purpose to expose the holes in theology and share her journey from being the perfect, good devout Christian girl to a bold, good atheist. I’m sure being the child of Christian ministers made for a childhood packed with religious trauma. She even spent her teen years and early 20s as a worship leader. Eve now spends her time raising awareness for those that have suffered from religious trauma at the hands up of the evangelical church and speaks out against the harmful and toxic theologies she herself experienced.  This episode covers topics like: Purity culture Religious trauma Fear-based theology  Christian nationalism LA christian celebrity culture Evolving morality (from a spiritual and atheist perspective) Pro-life vs. Pro-choice arguments Soothing trauma triggers Join my workshop: https://coaching.sophiaspallino.com/Releasing-Religious-Trauma-Workshop I am excited to lend Eve my platform to share this perspective, even if it’s different than mine. As many of you know. I grew up in purity culture and evangelical indoctrination too...and I’ve invited all of you along with me on this journey as I venture away from Christianity and sexual purity ideals into inter-spirituality and sexual liberation. I truly believe we can only heal as deeply as we are willing to acknowledge and feel.  That’s why my dear friend, Daniel, and I are hosting a✨Religious Trauma Releasing Workshop✨ and I want YOU to be there.  This workshop is for YOU if you’re ready to take the next step in releasing the fear of sin and shame surrounding your sexuality and evolving spirituality as you leave traditional religion. 🙏🏽This will be a safe and confidential place to reveal and heal, as we share about understanding sin, hell, queerness, purity, guilt, shame, and questioning religious authority altogether…ultimately embracing our sovereignty and taking responsibility to heal together.  ❓What to expect:  ✨2 hours of intentional time together ✨Identifying the root of shame ✨Demystifying guilt  ✨Healing through shared experiences  ✨Quantum healing through guided mediation led by Daniel ✨Real world application: a closing embodiment exercise to take with you that I will lead 🗓 When is the LIVE workshop? Mach 24, 22 -- 7pm EST/ 4pm PST  This is a 2 hour workshop, but please plan space in your calendar for 3 hours just in case we go longer… Join us: https://coaching.sophiaspallino.com/Releasing-Religious-Trauma-Workshop 📍 Where is it? This is a private, LIVE Zoom call gathering, and thanks to internet and energy, you can connect with us from wherever you are in the world.

I cannot believe I about to share this with the world, but everyone wants to know what happened to the lady I fell for, who pretty much made me realize I was just a lesbian, and gave me the courage to leave a man I genuinely cared for. I will tell you what happened, no WE will tell you what happened. Here is a raw conversation between me and my ex-girlfriend…Literally a play by play of our relationship and first time sleeping together. And I am willing to share it with the world because no matter what you do, whether you are a therapist, a doctor, a stay at home mama, a teacher, a business woman, a life coach life like me, or you simply feel you have to “have your shit together” for your world…You need to hear that love and lust is messy…That changing your mind or exploring your sexuality could disappoint people…that leaving a relationship might rock your boat…BUT IT’S ALL WORTH IT. This episode is for you. Straight, gay, in between…for YOU. To inspire you to do whatever you’re scared to do, but can’t fully be alive without. I want you to know discovering who you are, understanding your preferences, and evolving is safe to do at ANY AGE (even at my ex’s age of 51). You are allowed to shift and change your mind…and THAT is how we both got here…Here in this perfect present moment where all is well and we are GRATEFUL for the journey we had together, even if we are apart. So here we are sharing the love, the passion, the sex, and the fall…Enjoy the show!  🚩 I desired the experience over my sense of safety, and I knew it the whole time. My gut never lies to me, she’d never give me her heart, but I kept walking the path. Some could say why would you do that to yourself? How could you as a dating coach?! 😈Listen to the whole episode to understand…I KNEW what I was doing the whole time. But in a nutshell, I sovereignly chose to be emotionally annihilated so that I could experience physical bliss for the very first time.  ✨It was a choice.  ✨I’m glad I chose it. ✨I’m glad I met her. ✨I’m glad I tasted her. ✨I’m glad I tasted freedom. Ms. California was the catalyst girlfriend God knew I needed. To be honest, the experience of lust motivated me so much, to set myself free, and just be gay. The lust put a fire under my ass to make hard decisions. 🙏🏽I hope this episode proves it’s safe to have hope, to be a fool for love, to leave good for great, to follow your truth, to live authentically if you’re afraid to be queer, and to perceivably “lose” in love. The winner doesn’t take it all. When you experience heartbreak, find the “gift” in the pain, and be grateful for every experience. The contrast is your gift.  💡 IF SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS GOING THROUGH A BREAKUP OR PROCESSING THEIR SEXUALITY, please share this episode with them. There is light at the end of the tunnel.  This episode covers topics like: 📖 Our “lust” story  💦 Our first time together  😈 Our age gap…she could be my mother! 🏳️‍🌈 Processing our queerness late in life 💔 Our conscious ending  ❤️‍🩹 Our conscious healing  It's time to set yourself FREE, Lovely One!  Stream MY HEALING: a forgiveness anthem that I wrote and recorded: https://sophiaspallino.trac.co/sophiaspallinomyhealing Learn more about me and what I do: https://www.SophiaSpallino.com Follow me on Instagram for inspiring real-life stories everyday: https://www.instagram.com/sophiaspallino/ Shop my favorite books and card decks here: http://bit.ly/SoulBooks If you are seeking wisdom & guidance, branding/social media tips, dating advice, a breakup breakthrough session, or a card reading, I'd be honored to coach you: https://sophiaspallino.com/mentorship

When we remember our worthiness, we connect differently. Whether you're single or in a relationship, you will enjoy this conversation about how to increase sexual intimacy, cultivate conscious communication in relationships, and practice self-love. Let's sink into our heart-space with Toni Jones. For over six years, Toni Jones has served as a well being leader and mental health advocate for women and youth. Her passion for helping people consciously talk to themselves better combined with her talent of spoken word and writing music has made her the most iconic Affirmation Musician on the charts today. Toni hopes to inspire women to become more conscious about their well being and self-talk in a culture that drowns the feminine energy in masculine "workaholism," specially when it comes to entrepreneurship, self-empowerment, and sexuality. On March 19, 2019, during Women's History Month she launched “Affirmations for The Grown Ass Woman”.  In November of 2021, she released "Me Vs. All of Me Affirmations of Self Love." Her music is incredibly powerful. In fact at the end of this episode, I will play one of my favorite affirmation songs. During our time together, you will feel inspired to be consciously committed to your well being inside out — starting with the way you talk or SING to yourself!
