    In this special solo episode, I’m sharing my testimony on trusting God’s timing as he brought a new piece of property into my life that I have recently moved on to. God is moving in my life and has me submitting and surrendering to him in a lot of different ways, and this is just the start.

    The deep call within me to move to the mountains.

    Holding visions for what my property would look like.

    How I fell in love with the Sunshine Coast of BC.

    Trusting God’s will for me and accepting that his desires for me may not be my desires.

    When I finally gave it to God and let go, the land came to fruition.

    Making room for God to move in your life.

    Ep 130: Restoring and Deepening the Relationship with God As a Woman with Katharina Grace

    Ep 130: Restoring and Deepening the Relationship with God As a Woman with Katharina Grace

    In this episode, I’m joined by Katharina Grace, a mentor for women devoted to guiding them to return home though restoring and deepening their relationship to God. She teaches on the path of Union and Oracular Feminine Wisdom and leads women in business through devotion and maturity. She shares her experience of being a seeker of God and the different teachings, lineages, and practices she’s explored over the years.

    What Katharina learned about fully receiving and being able to move on with peace.

    How her deepened relationship with God began.

    Returning to what it actually means to have a relationship to God.

    The catalyst that shifted her towards God.

    The difference between religion and relationship.

    Checking in with what feels right and correct at every moment.

    God brings us exactly where we are for a reason.



    Cultivating a relationship with God to heal the relationship with Him as a masculine figure.

    What Katharina is offering the world.

    The difference between mothering and the nurturing feminine.



    Guest Bio:

    Katharina Grace is a mentor devoted to guiding women into restoring and deepening their relationship to God as the foundation for Union. Her work is in service to the remembrance of our inherent worth through rooting into beloved identity as a cherished daughter of God, and in devotion to the heart of Christ.

    A foundational part of Katharina’s work is about cultivating safety in our own bodies and deepening our capacity to self-source in order to meet the masculine from a place of self-responsibility, maturity, and the deeper holding that only God’s love can provide:

    When we begin to move past the layers of superficial surrender and into submission to God’s will and the perfection of His timing, we begin to live and thrive from our true feminine design and the deeper fulfillment coming from resting in our receptive nature. 

    Katharina is also supporting women in business. After years of doing it the ‘masculine way’, her path led to walking beside women as they share their gifts from a place of embodied co-creation with God.
