Because shame and pain subside when shadowed stories and secrets are shared, Enlightened the Podcast will encourage you, heart and soul.
Hi there, I'm Sophia Spallino, and I'm honored to share practical, relatable, raw conversations that inspire personal growth. Although I look like a basic white girl that values material things (which I do -- I freaking love abundance)...deep inside, I am an old, spiritual soul in my late 20s. In fact, I am only interested in romantic relationships with humans in their 50s. Fair warning: I am a teensy bit high strung and talk fast, yet totally here for exploring important conversations that involve spirituality and sexuality.
Enlightened the Podcast exists to cultivate a safe space for me and you to bravely shed light on real-life struggles, honestly ask hard questions, and actively choose self-growth. Because I was brought up as an extremely sheltered, religious homeschooler submerged in purity culture, I am thrilled to share my journey from childhood, to getting married too young (because I was "waiting for marriage"), to where I am today manifesting the life of my dreams...navigating age gap relationships, understanding my newfound spirituality beyond religion, indulging in the fullness of my sexuality as newly "out" lesbian woman, and pursuing a balanced lifestyle as an entrepreneur.
Each episode is different, but may include encouraging words, inspiring stories, relationship advice, and progressive spiritual conversations that reveal we all are more alike than we think. We all just want to feel understood and seen.
It's safe to be curious. You are not alone on this personal development journey. Let’s grow together!

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A SIN with Colby Martin — Pastor Fired for Affirming the LGBTQIA+ Community — Coming Out & the Church — Questioning the Bible & Religious Authority — What does the Bible actually say about being gay and polyamory? — Prog
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

CONFIDENCE, KINKS, & COMMUNICATION IN BED with Jeff Damisse — A Raw Conversation with an Evolving, Conscious, Sexual Man — Dominant & Submissive Sex Dynamics — Kinks & Public Sex — Deconstruction from Purity Culture — Personal Development —
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.

HOW TO MANIFEST YOUR DREAM LOVER my interview on "This Spiritual Fix" -- Making Amazing Familiar -- Attracting Your Soulmate -- Law of Attraction -- Manifestation Hacks -- Personal Development -- Spirituality -- Sexuality --
*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.

MINISTER'S DAUGHTER'S STORY: GOOD CHRISTIAN GIRL TO GOOD ATHEIST with "Eve Was Framed"-- Religous Trauma -- Leaving Evangelical Christianity -- Ex-Vangelical -- Deconstruction Journey -- Christian Nationalism -- Sexuality -- Spirituality
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.

✨Identifying the root of shame
✨Demystifying guilt
✨Healing through shared experiences
✨Quantum healing through guided mediation led by Daniel

Customer Reviews
Ah-ma-zing!
This is my favorite podcast I have ever listened to. Sophia is so in touch with herself spiritually and is just such a naturally positive and inspiring person. By listening to her podcast I have learned ways to become more in touch with myself. I went through a very similar discovery about myself and my own sexuality and it was so interesting and comforting to hear her speaking about her own experience so openly. I admire her courage for completely changing her platform and being completely vulnerable to truly accept herself for who she is. Her podcast is always entertaining and I always have a hard time when I have to shut it off and walk in to work. Also when she plays the harp it is mesmerizing!!!!
So much YES!
Sophia offers vulnerability and real-talk in a way that inspires listeners regardless of gender or sexual orientation to live and embrace their full true selves unapologetically. I love her message of shame-free self-acceptance and how beautifully she models embracing all parts of our selves. I receommend this podcast to clients and friends regularly.
Wow
Listening to your divorce story and my narc treats me exactly this way 😩 spot on narc behavior! I’m getting my ducks in a row silently atm and can’t wait to be done unfortunately not no contact we have kids but just having him out of the house will be so much more peaceful!
