  1. When Families Couldn't Be There: Hillary Kimsey on Pandemic and Purpose

    2D AGO

    When Families Couldn't Be There: Hillary Kimsey on Pandemic and Purpose

    In this rich and deeply human conversation, I’m joined by The Rev. Hillary Kimsey—Episcopal priest, spiritual guide, writer, and gentle companion to those navigating the complexities of faith and life. Hillary brings a refreshing blend of candor, humor, and contemplative insight as we explore what it means to remain awake to the truth of our lives, especially when the path gets muddy. We talk about spiritual direction as a space for honesty, the gift of asking better questions, and how grief, doubt, and joy all become teachers when we learn to listen. Hillary shares her own story with humility and clarity, offering wisdom for anyone feeling unmoored, in transition, or seeking a more authentic relationship with God, themselves, and others. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold your spiritual life with more grace, integrity, and compassion, Hillary’s voice will feel like a steadying hand.   Key Themes: What spiritual direction really offers (and what it doesn’t)Navigating seasons of deconstruction and reconstructionListening to the body, intuition, and spiritThe courage of honest questionsHow healing often arrives slowly—and unexpectedlyA grounding, tender, and beautifully insightful episode that will stay with you.   The Rev Hillary's Links:   https://saintantonys.com/home/clergy/ https://www.youtube.com/@vicarstantonys2950 https://www.instagram.com/motherhillary LINKS iTunes    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/never-too-late-real-stories-of-re-invention/id1841411138 Spotify   https://open.spotify.com/show/0AzeRDsgXGzFEQBx2pP5U2 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@NeverTooLateReinvent IHeart     https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-never-too-late-real-stori-297417148 Amazon https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/48007e11-9500-4c97-8fa4-2c3f9c07f4c4/never-too-late-real-stories-of-re-invention #NeverTooLatePodcast,  #ReinventionStories, #LifeReinvention, #DreamForward,#RealStories, #AviationLife, #PilotStories, #FlyingHigh, #AviationCommunity, #PilotLife, #FriendshipGoals, #LifeLessons, #ResilienceJourney, #CourageToChange, #NewBeginnings, #ItsNeverTooLate, #KeepDreaming, #PurposeDrivenLife, #ChasingDreams,#HopeAndResilience,

    From Setbacks to Second Acts: How Monica Ricci Built a New Path with Purpose

    “Letting Go to Live Forward: A Conversation with Monica Ricci” In this episode, I sit down with Monica Ricci—speaker, coach, and longtime guide in the world of simplicity and intentional living—to explore what it really means to let go so we can move forward with clarity and joy. Monica goes far beyond decluttering. She invites us into the deeper work: releasing old narratives, shifting internal limits, and choosing new patterns that align with the life we actually want to live. With her trademark humor, candor, and warmth, Monica offers practical wisdom for navigating change, creating spaciousness, and cultivating a life of meaning rather than accumulation. Whether you're standing at a crossroads, feeling weighed down, or simply hungry for a more intentional way to live, this conversation will give you tools—and courage—to step into what’s next. Key Themes: Why letting go is an internal, not just external, practiceHow our stories shape our sense of possibilityHow small shifts open big doorsThe emotional and spiritual side of declutteringCreating a life rooted in values, not volumeA rich, energizing, deeply human conversation. You’ll walk away lighter.
