  1. How to Build a Relationship with Spirit

    How to Build a Relationship with Spirit

    In this week's episode of Back To Self, Sian continues the conversation from episode 12, Wanting Without Relating: Moving Beyond Transactional Spirituality, and explores how to begin building a more mutual, consistent relationship with spirit, the universe, God, the divine — or whatever language feels most true for you. This is a gentle, practical episode for anyone who feels spiritually curious but unsure where to begin. You do not need to be psychic, gifted, or deeply intuitive to connect with spirit. In fact, cultivating a relationship with the divine can be one of the ways your intuitive self begins to grow. Sian shares reflections on how our relationship with spirit may mirror our attachment patterns, why intention matters, and how spiritual practice can support us before life feels overwhelming — like a kind of emotional and spiritual fire prevention. This episode is an invitation to stop seeing spirituality as another thing to perfect, and instead approach it as a relationship: one that grows through presence, consistency, curiosity, and gentle returning. Listen if you are exploring: spiritual practice, connecting with spirit, divine connection, everyday spirituality, intuitive development, prayer, meditation, altars, devotion, nature, spirituality, and building a deeper relationship with yourself.

    Living in Alignment With Your Values

    In this episode of Back To Self, we gently explore the role of values- what they are, where they come from, and how they shape the way you live, choose, and show up in your life. Often, the discomfort we feel- overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or a sense of unfulfillment- can point to a deepermisalignment between how we’re living and what truly matters to us. This episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with your inner compass. You’ll be guided through: The difference between values and goals (and why it matters) How values are shaped by family, culture, and lived experience Signs you may be out of alignment with your valuesWhy living someone else’s values can lead to disconnection and burnout The emotional reality of choosing yourself and your values Practical ways to identify your core values and begin living them day-to-day This isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself.It’s about gently returning to who you already are- and what feels true for you.
