24| When Life Pulled Me Away from God—And How I Found My Way Back - Show Notes

In this heartfelt episode of Anchored with Purpose, I take you on a journey through my personal faith story—the highs, the struggles, and the pivotal moments that shaped my spiritual life. From growing up in a Catholic home with deep-rooted traditions to questioning my beliefs in college, I share the moments that tested and ultimately strengthened my faith.

You'll hear about:

• The vibrant and soulful Mass experiences from my childhood.
• My first powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit at a youth event.
• How college, secular influences, and personal disappointments shook my faith.
• The struggles of balancing faith with a demanding career and motherhood.
• The moment that reignited my passion for God and how it transformed my daily life.
• The book that nearly led me away from Catholicism and the one line that made me stay.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your faith or wondered how to reclaim your spiritual journey, this episode is for you. It's real, raw, and full of encouragement for anyone looking to deepen their connection with God.

• The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
