The Spiritual Shitshow Podcast

Julie Nguyen

The Spiritual Shitshow Podcast— where the magic meets the mess. This is my little corner of the podcast universe, where we make personal growth feel a little more human — and a lot more fun. Here, I share the ups, downs, sideways spirals, and surprising sparkles of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual misadventures — all with a wink, a laugh, and a whole lot of heart. Because here’s the thing: healing doesn’t have to be so serious. It can be joyful, playful, messy, beautiful, and unapologetically real. Self-development isn’t about coloring inside the lines — it’s about love, connection, freedom, and daring to tell our very human stories. I’m Julie Nguyen — intuitive channel, certified life coach, somatic practitioner, dancer, teacher, and fellow imperfect human — and I’m here to walk (and sometimes cha-cha) alongside you as we amplify the magic, embrace the mess, and cheer each other on through it all. Come as you are. Let’s make it weird, wonderful, and wildly alive. xo- Julie Want to work together? 1:1 Intuitive channeled Soul Sessions 1:1 Intuitive life coaching and more.... www.numinouswisdom.com Instagram: jujulove_nguyen

    Why Healing Feels Scary And How To Reframe It

    Send us Fan Mail That hot, sweaty, “please don’t look too closely” feeling before therapy or a healing session is not a sign you’re broken. It’s a sign you’re human. I’m Julia Nguyen, and I’m naming the fear so many of us carry into coaching, energy work, and even honest talks with friends: What if they see what’s actually inside of me? We tend to treat inner work like a horror movie, as if opening one locked door in our psyche will reveal something shameful that proves we’re beyond help. I walk through why that story feels so convincing, how it keeps us stuck in avoidance, and what changes when we stop expecting healing to be an exorcism. Real spiritual healing rarely looks like a wrecking ball. More often, it looks like gentleness, support, and the willingness to face what we’ve been stuffing into the back room for years. Here’s the reframe that shifts everything: healing can be human housekeeping. We all have an inner junk drawer, an emotional closet, a messy room we’d rather keep locked. That mess doesn’t mean you’re bad or “not spiritual enough.” It usually means you’ve been carrying old beliefs from childhood, dusty grief from a past relationship, and coping mechanisms that once protected you but now take up space. As we head into fall, I share why this season can be the perfect time to clear what isn’t serving you anymore, one small drawer at a time. If this helps you look at your inner junk drawer with more love and less shame, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more humans can find their way back to compassion.

    Family Estrangement: Channeled messages and Q&A

    Send us Fan Mail Hope can be the most exhausting part of family estrangement. The hope that they’ll finally understand. The hope that they’ll apologize. The hope that one day the relationship will feel safe again. I sit with five listener questions and channel guidance that challenges a popular idea: that acceptance is the end goal. Sometimes acceptance just becomes a new way to carry sadness, betrayal, and abandonment. We move toward a different frame: soul accountability. That means asking what you came here to learn, how your triggers are pointing to your growth, and how to stop handing your power to someone else’s choices. We talk about the fear of channeling for a larger audience, the pull toward lower emotions like resentment, and the practice of choosing a higher frequency without denying the truth of what happened. You’ll hear us explore how to grieve someone who is still alive, especially when you still love them and miss who you used to be. We bring in the Ho’oponopono prayer, “I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you,” not as a shortcut, but as a tool for loosening the karmic loop of blame and scorekeeping. We also tackle the question many people are afraid to say out loud: can you forgive someone and still choose not to have a relationship with them? If you’re navigating no contact, low contact, complicated family dynamics, or the long aftermath of a painful rupture, this conversation offers a spiritual lens, practical reflection points, and a reminder that you don’t have to carry your family’s story for the rest of your life. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the question you’re still sitting with. Support the show ✨ Thank you for tuning into this episode of Spiritual Shitshow!

    Family Estrangement:Permission to grieve someone who is still alive

    Send us Fan Mail Family estrangement can make you feel like you are doing something wrong just because it still hurts. We sit with the real question under the question: why does a boundary that protects my peace still come with grief, longing, and that strange ache for a family that never quite existed? We talk through how common estrangement actually is, then zoom out to family systems theory and the roles that get assigned in every family. The “peacekeeper,” the “caretaker,” the “free spirit,” the one who “doesn’t need anything” can show up again in seconds, even after years of growth. From there we bring in attachment and belonging, including why rejection and relational loss can hit the nervous system like danger, not drama. Then we name two concepts that can change everything: ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief. When the person is alive but unavailable, there is no ritual, no clean ending, and often no social permission to mourn. We also share a more compassionate model of healing: grief integration through the dual process of moving between loss and restoration, plus radical acceptance that does not require approval or reconciliation. You can love someone and still keep the boundary. If this resonates, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share with someone who needs language for their grief, and leave a review so more people can find support.

    The Sadness that Comes with Family Estrangement and a Path Towards Healing

    Send us Fan Mail Some grief doesn’t come with flowers or a funeral. It shows up as a hollow space where love was supposed to live: the mothering, sisterhood, protection, mentorship, and unconditional care you kept hoping would finally arrive. If you’ve ever grieved someone who’s still alive, felt the sting of family estrangement, or wondered why “just let it go” only makes it worse, this conversation is for you. We talk about what it means to claim your story without guilt, shame, fear, or the old roles that kept you quiet. I share how people pleasing and peacekeeping can turn into self-editing and self-gaslighting, and why your truth doesn’t become less true just because someone else is uncomfortable hearing it. We also dig into why healing isn’t about deleting sadness or anger, but creating enough internal safety to let every part belong. We explore boundaries and no contact as self-protection, plus the complicated reality that you can block someone and still miss them. You’ll hear about radical acceptance, body memory after manipulation or narcissistic dynamics, and how to hold gratitude for the safe love you have now while still grieving what you never received. If your mind keeps chasing an apology but your body is ready for peace, you’re not broken, you’re human. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs permission to feel, and leave a review. What part of your story are you ready to stop minimizing?

    I wonder what would happen if I allow.... a reframe for goal setting

    Send us Fan Mail I woke up with one word on my mind: commitment. Not the tight, controlling kind that lives in color-coded plans and “try harder” speeches, but the kind that says, “I’m here. I’m paying attention. I’m willing to participate in my own life.” If you’ve been feeling the pressure of the calendar, the weight of goals, or that familiar end-of-year panic, this conversation offers a calmer, truer path. We talk about how New Year intentions can inspire us and also quietly turn our lives into endless self-improvement projects. When you’re always fixing habits, unpacking wounds, and chasing a more evolved version of yourself, it can start to feel like you have to earn rest, joy, and self-acceptance. I name the pattern for what it is and offer a reminder you might need today: you don’t have to become a renovation project to be worthy of your own presence. From there, we step into commitment as curiosity with a real-life September practice: sobriety, not as punishment, but as an experiment in staying with tenderness and raw aliveness. Then we land on the question that changes everything: What would happen if I allow? Allowing means taking aligned action without forcing outcomes, and it opens the door to ease, listening, creativity, and rest as legitimate sources of information. If you’re ready for a softer kind of personal growth, press play and try a 30-day commitment to joy, boundaries, and coming back to yourself. Share this with someone who’s gripping too tightly, and if the show helps you, follow, subscribe, and leave a review. Support the show ✨ Thank you for tuning into this episode of Spiritual Shitshow!

    The Power Of Being Witnessed

    Send us Fan Mail Someone can’t heal what they’re not allowed to say out loud. We sit with a simple but radical idea: sometimes the most powerful thing you can offer isn’t a solution, a reframe, or a spiritual lesson. It’s a witness. I talk about the difference between being “observed” and being truly seen, and why that kind of seeing can soften the inner distortion many of us carry around our bodies, our work, and our worth. I share a story from years ago in China when a friend stopped me mid-spiral and reflected back what he saw: strength, leadership, artistry, power. That moment cracked open a new lens, especially after growing up around narcissistic dynamics and gaslighting where reality gets quietly rewritten. We also unpack a distinction that changed how I hold my own past: being victimized versus becoming identified as the victim, and how being shamed for naming pain can make you question your own truth. Then we zoom out into spiritual healing and the “witness” as a practice. What if we didn’t rush straight to forgiveness, silver linings, or “high vibes” manifesting? What if the next right step is to let the story land somewhere safe, even if it’s messy, even if it’s still tender, even if you literally swallowed a bug while recording outside. If you’ve been craving validation without advice, or presence without fixing, this one will meet you there. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs to be seen, and leave a review with one moment that hit home for you. Support the show ✨ Thank you for tuning into this episode of Spiritual Shitshow!

    The Remembering You Channeled Message and Guided Meditation

    Send us Fan Mail Something shifts when we stop brushing off love and actually let it in. We start with a quiet, heartfelt thank you and a moment of honoring, then move into a guided meditation designed to help you come back to yourself, especially if your energy has been scattered across people, problems, and old stories. Together, we call your awareness back into the present moment through breath, grounding, and a protective orb-of-light visualization that supports real release. We let gravity do the work, soften the places that feel tight or heavy, and invite small movements that help the body unwind. From there, we bring a hand to the heart, belly, or wherever you feel “home,” and listen for the tone of your soul, the words, colors, or sensations that describe the truest you. The channeled message that follows lands like a reset: it’s safe to let go of pain and shame, love transmutes the past, and you are more than your human experiences. If you’ve felt stuck in one storyline, this is a reminder of freedom, choice, and creativity, a spiritual practice of remembering who you are and giving yourself permission to begin again. If this helped you breathe a little deeper or feel a little more you, subscribe for more guided meditations and soulful tools, share this with someone who needs a reminder, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    What If Self-Care Is Learning To Fly

    Send us Fan Mail A dream can be thrilling right up until it comes true. I’m recording the morning after I bring “Remembering You” to life, a women’s gathering that felt like an initiation and a closing of a long loop in my own spiritual journey. The room is full, the energy is real, and the day is bookended by uncanny signs a feather in the car, Fleetwood Mac on the speakers, a praying mantis on my altar. I call it a thin place, that rare moment where intuition, grief, joy, and the divine all feel close enough to touch. And then the portal closes and my inner critic clocks in. I walk straight into the perfectionism hangover: Was it good? Did I oversell? Did I talk too much? Did anyone think it was weird? That spiral opens a deeper question that so many of us live with: why is it easier to believe criticism than love? We talk negativity bias, nervous system wiring, and the painful skill of reading rooms when you’ve spent years anticipating disappointment. Ten compliments can bounce off, while one tiny sign of disapproval becomes the headline. The real takeaway isn’t about chasing the next event or turning magic into a business strategy. It’s about receiving. Receiving praise, joy, gratitude, rest, and pleasure without bargaining with it. I share the image that arrives in meditation: a bird with clipped wings, building a beautiful life on the ground while forgetting it was meant to fly. We unpack how self-abandonment gets mistaken for generosity, why “you’re selfish” can be an old haunting script, and what reciprocity looks like when it starts inside us. If you’ve been functioning like an Olympic athlete while secretly depleted, this one is for you.
