Why do I feel disconnected from myself?
How do I trust my intuition and inner guidance?
What happens when spiritual awakening meets fear, doubt, and negative self-talk?
In this deeply honest and spiritually grounded conversation, Matina sits down with Charlie Griffin to explore the journey from emotional disconnection to deeper self-trust, spiritual connection, and embodied healing. Together, they unpack what it means to wrestle with loneliness, negative self-talk, fear, identity, and the longing to feel connected to something greater than ourselves.
Charlie shares his experiences growing up feeling disconnected from family, discovering spirituality at a young age, navigating depression and self-doubt, and learning how to reconnect with his inner guidance through stillness, writing, surrender, and trust. This episode gently explores spiritual gifts, intuition, mindset, prayer, self-permission, and the ongoing tension between fear and overflow.
Rather than presenting healing as perfection, this conversation honors the very human reality of moving through peaks and valleys while continuing to return home to yourself.
