What does it mean to experience grace? As guest Hannah Wallace shares in this episode, it's often in our most challenging times that the gifts of grace present themselves to us. Hannah is the host of the podcast Finding Grace, where she holds space for conversations about what it means to find grace in the world we live in today. As someone who lives with a life-altering genetic condition, her mission is to guide people to integrate their darkness and light by finding grace in the space that they’re in. Hannah is also a disability model and advocate, a writer, blogger, speaker and priestess. On the latest episode we explore:
- How a life-changing illness radically changed the trajectory of Hannah's life at the age of 17
- Hannah's extensive exploration of healing modalities, and the moment when she realized that she needed to stop trying to be the spiritual "A-student" and simply just be
- How toxic spirituality can convince us that if we are good enough, we will be rewarded with healing (and why this type of thinking is still rooted in patriarchy)
- The gifts that the Divine Mother has offered to Hannah along her journey
- The role grace has played in Hannah's life
