    Finding Your Voice After Spiritual Harm Pt 2 w/ Kate Petersen, Stephanie Rose, & Stephen R. Sanders

    Safety, Belonging, and Rebuilding Without Self-Betrayal In Part 2 of Finding Your Voice After Spiritual Harm, Patria Rector continues the conversation with Kate Petersen, Stephanie Rose, and Stephen R. Sanders, shifting focus from silence to reconstruction—what it actually looks like to rebuild trust, belonging, and spiritual safety after harm. This episode explores the complicated terrain that comes after deconstruction. The group discusses how to recognize safe relationships, how to listen to your body and intuition again, and how to avoid replicating old patterns of self-betrayal in new spaces. They also name the grief of lost community and the fear that often accompanies starting over. Rather than offering replacement belief systems or quick fixes, Part 2 emphasizes discernment, pacing, and integration. Healing, they suggest, is less about finding the “right” spirituality and more about creating environments where your voice is respected and your boundaries are honored. If you’re learning how to belong without disappearing—and how to trust yourself without shutting others out—this conversation offers grounded guidance and compassionate honesty for the road ahead.

    Finding Your Voice After Spiritual Harm Pt 1 w/ Kate Petersen, Stephanie Rose, & Stephen R. Sanders

    Silence, Survival, and the Cost of Telling the Truth In Part 1 of Finding Your Voice After Spiritual Harm, host Patria Rector is joined by Kate Petersen, Stephanie Rose, and Stephen R. Sanders for an honest conversation about how spiritual harm often teaches people to silence themselves in order to stay safe, connected, or accepted. Together, they explore how spiritual environments can subtly—or overtly—disconnect people from their intuition, questions, and inner authority. The discussion names the ways fear gets spiritualized, obedience is rewarded over honesty, and silence becomes a survival strategy rather than a choice. This episode centers on recognition rather than resolution. Kate, Stephanie, and Stephen share insights into how losing your voice is rarely a personal failure, but often an adaptive response to unsafe systems. The group reflects on the emotional cost of telling the truth, especially when belonging has historically been conditional. Part 1 is about naming what happened without rushing toward answers. It’s about understanding why reclaiming your voice can feel destabilizing—and why it’s still the first necessary step toward healing after spiritual harm.

    Rising Together: The Enneagram and Relationships w/ Julie McClay, Steve McClay & Jerry Rector

    In this episode of Echoes and Edges, host Petria, founder of The Broken and Beautiful, is joined by her husband Jerry, along with longtime friends Julie and Steve McClay, for a candid roundtable on how personal awakening reshapes marriage and long-term relationships. The conversation centers on what happens after old roles loosen and familiar patterns stop working, but before new ways of relating feel solid. This in-between season—often quiet, disorienting, and emotionally unpracticed—is explored through the lens of the Enneagram, attachment, therapy, and lived relational experience.  Together, the group reflects on how growth begins as an interior process before it becomes relational—and why relationships often feel the impact immediately. They discuss boundary confusion, emotional presence, grief, humor, repair, and the slow work of learning how to stay connected without fixing, managing, or retreating. Rather than offering quick solutions, this episode names the liminal space as a threshold—one that invites pause, honesty, and renegotiation of connection in marriage, parenting, and partnership. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: What “Rise With Us” means beyond hustle, reinvention, or self-optimizationHow the Enneagram can expose, amplify, or support relational changeMarriage after awakening: when old roles no longer fitHeart, body, and gut triad dynamics in long-term couplesWhy growth can feel lonely—even when relationships are deepeningThe shift from fixing and managing to naming discomfort and staying presentHumor, grief, and repair as essential relational toolsParenting, shame spirals, and why healing yourself matters more than perfect parentingWho This Episode Is For: Couples navigating change after therapy, trauma work, or spiritual shiftsAnyone using the Enneagram to understand marriage and long-term partnershipParents realizing growth can’t be outsourced to better behavior or systemsListeners living in the “not who we were, not yet who we’re becoming” spaceConnect with Julie McClay Heart Path Story Coaching If this episode resonates with you, follow or subscribe to Echoes and Edges on your favorite podcast platform, leave a five-star review, and share with a friend who might need a gentle invitation to self-understanding.

    Holiday Support for Enneagram Type 9 w/ Ro Elliott

    In this mini episode, Patria and Ro explore the inner world of Enneagram Type Nines—the Peacemaker, Mediator, and Adaptive Presence—especially as the holidays amplify noise, tension, and unspoken expectations. They unpack how Nines instinctively move toward harmony through numbing, merging, or quietly disappearing, often in ways that go unnoticed by others. Patria shares personal insight as a Nine, naming how being physically present while emotionally withdrawn can become a survival strategy in overwhelming environments. Together, they explore why holidays can intensify the pull to fade out, and how healing for Nines involves gently coming back online—reconnecting with the body, the voice, and the belief that their presence truly matters. This conversation invites Nines to notice when self-erasure masquerades as peace, and to trust that engagement—not silence—is what actually creates harmony. A steady, compassionate companion for Type Nines navigating family systems, overstimulation, and the quiet work of reclaiming presence.

    Holiday Support for Enneagram Type 8 w/ Ro Elliott

    In this mini episode, Patria and Ro explore the inner world of Enneagram Type Eights—the Challenger, Protector, and Leader—especially as their energy shows up during the emotionally charged holiday season. They unpack how Eights instinctively move toward intensity, take charge in chaos, and use strength as a way to protect what’s tender beneath the surface. Together, they name how control and decisiveness often function as a defense against vulnerability, and why emotional closeness can trigger an unconscious “wall up” response. They offer insight into the Eight’s deep testing of trust, their fierce loyalty, and the often-misunderstood tenderness that lives beneath the armor. This conversation invites Eights to notice when protection turns into distance, to become aware of the impact of their presence, and to explore how strength and vulnerability can coexist. A steady, affirming companion for Type Eights navigating family dynamics, heightened emotions, and the courage it takes to soften without losing power.
