    YOU WAITED TOO LONG

    Send us a text After nearly a year away from the mic, Shea returns to Subconsciously with one of her most honest and reflective episodes yet. “You Waited Too Long” explores what it feels like to believe you’ve missed your chance—to think you’re behind in life, that the opportunities you once dreamed of have already passed, or that everyone else is moving forward while you’re still standing still. In this deeply personal conversation, Shea opens up about her own journey through self-doubt, comparison, and creative burnout. She revisits the part of her story where music once defined her purpose, and how stepping away from it made her question her identity. But through faith, healing, and a quiet rediscovery of passion, she learns that waiting isn’t wasted time—it’s preparation. This episode touches on the quiet moments we don’t talk about enough: the feeling of being stuck, the fear of starting over, and the courage it takes to finally move when you’ve been standing still for too long. Shea reflects on performing again for the first time in three years, confronting imposter syndrome head-on, and realizing that growth often happens in the background while we’re still doubting ourselves. In this episode, Shea shares: How to recognize when you’re keeping yourself “stuck” out of fear or comfortWhy waiting doesn’t mean failure—it means you’re still becomingThe importance of opening up to others and shifting perspectiveHow to create new opportunities when it feels like you’ve missed your chanceA personal story of returning to the stage after years of silenceIf you’ve ever felt late to your own life, this episode is your reminder that there is no missed timing—only divine timing. You’re not behind. You’re right on schedule. Follow Shea on Instagram for updates and reflections:  @scoopsubconsciously | @sheagelowitz

    I Asked God to Choose When I'd Quit Smoking, and His Answer Changed Everything

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped trying to change yourself and instead asked God to choose the perfect timing? After an emotional breakdown in my previous episode, I disappeared from podcasting while secretly battling a spiritual crisis that was pulling me back toward old destructive habits. In this raw, vulnerable conversation, I share how one month away from my faith showed me what "hell" truly feels like—not flames, but the emptiness of living without divine connection. The testimony unfolds with a moment that can only be described as supernatural: a fellow believer receiving a vision during prayer that perfectly mirrored words I'd spoken in my previous episode, proving God had been listening even when I wasn't speaking to Him. The centerpiece of this spiritual journey involves my eight-year smoking addiction and the surprising approach that finally worked. Instead of making promises I couldn't keep, I surrendered control entirely: "God, YOU tell me when I'll quit smoking because I'm tired of breaking promises." His answer—"end of February"—manifested in perfect timing when my vape died on Valentine's Day, the first day of vacation when I could manage withdrawal symptoms without work pressures. This isn't just a story about quitting a bad habit; it's about discovering how joy becomes a choice regardless of circumstances, how God prepares ways before we even ask, and why authentic faith exists beyond the failures of religious communities. For anyone who's felt like they've wandered too far to return, this testimony offers hope that the way back is already being prepared. Whether you're a devoted believer, someone curious about spirituality, or even someone who has been hurt by religion, this deeply personal conversation explores how finding purpose sometimes requires losing your way first—and how divine timing works even when we've given up on ourselves.

    YOU HAVE A PLUM IN YOUR BACK

    Send us a text Is it possible to uncover hidden gems within ourselves, much like the rice balls with hidden plums in "Fruits Basket"? Join me, Shea, as I reflect on the profound impact Jazzi's recent podcast takeover had on reigniting my love for anime and the healing journey of re-watching a beloved series. Through these episodes, I dive into the life lessons and emotional depths that "Fruits Basket" offers, particularly through the lens of characters like Kyo, whose honesty and introspection continue to resonate with me. This journey has reconnected me with my inner child, reminding me of the unseen personal qualities that deserve recognition and appreciation. This episode isn't just about anime; it's a heartfelt discussion on battling mental health challenges and the search for personal purpose. I open up about the emotional exhaustion and numbness that cloud my perception of self-worth, sharing candid moments of vulnerability. Through a poignant conversation with a friend, I confront the harsh realities of feeling like a robot, questioning my progress, and yearning to rediscover the optimistic person I once was. The inner turmoil of comparing oneself to others becomes a focal point, shining a light on the complexities of self-acceptance and the fear of lacking inherent value. Community and connection lie at the heart of this podcast, and your feedback is essential in nurturing this space. I invite you to engage through Instagram DMs and share your thoughts, as your support fuels the growth of Subconsciously. Together, we can create a supportive community where authenticity thrives. Stay tuned as my subconscious thoughts continue to lead us on a path of self-discovery and connection, with a promise to remain open and genuine in sharing this journey with you.

Join special guest host, Jazzi, as she shares her playful and candid reflections on embracing life's transitions and reconnecting with our inner selves. From mental health and evolving friendships to the intricate dance of forming connections, we'll explore the beauty of returning to past hobbies and finding solace in the familiar. Try not to laugh too loudly as we keep the volume low to avoid waking Shea's family, and enjoy the new sound effects that humorously censor those unscripted moments. Is disconnecting from social media truly liberating, or just an invitation for awkward social gatherings? Let's reflect on the surprising relief of a notification-free existence and the social quirks that happen when you're the only one not glued to a screen. She'll share her odd fear of monkeys and a chilling sleep paralysis episode involving a shadowy figure. Dive with Jazzi into the world of smartphones, the dual nature of technology, and its impact on our interactions and personal fears. Come along as we explore how art and literature reshape our understanding of intimacy. We'll celebrate the profound nature of non-romantic connections in manga like "Chainsaw Man" and "Fruits Basket," where deep friendships challenge conventional expectations of romance. Reflect on the intimate yet non-sexual scenes, and how stories like these profoundly impact our perception of relationships.
