Find Your Spiritual Connection

Welcome back to Sisters-in-Law of Attraction! In this episode, Sam and Christine are doing some spring cleaning — but not the kind that involves a mop and a junk drawer. This one's about clearing out the mental and spiritual clutter that's been piling up and making room for what actually matters.

Sam opens up about her own journey growing up as a practicing Catholic and how discovering spiritual practices like meditation, grounding, and connecting to source energy felt foreign at first. Christine shares how she stepped away from organized religion but never lost the belief that we're all part of something bigger than ourselves — and how she and her family have embraced the idea that it doesn't matter what you call it, whether that's God, the universe, source energy, or a spirit guide. The purpose is the same: to get the ego out of the way, lead a good life, and stay connected to the people and the world around you.

The sisters land on a beautiful distinction — spirituality is connecting to the divine through your own personal experience, while religion is connecting to the divine through someone else's experience, like the teachings of Jesus or the Bible. Neither is wrong, and both can coexist. One person's meditation is another person's prayer, and they mirror each other more than most people realize.

From there, the conversation shifts to the clutter we don't always see — the constant noise and distraction that keeps us from ever sitting in silence. Sam talks about what she calls "the white space," those quiet moments where you're not scrolling, not listening to a podcast, not filling every second with content. Christine admits she has to consciously choose to stand in silence doing her makeup instead of reaching for something to listen to, because the noise pollution has become so normalized we don't even notice it anymore.

A listener recommendation leads them to a quote from John Mark Comer's book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry that stops them both in their tracks: "What you give your attention to is the person you become." Comer argues that we are distracting ourselves into spiritual oblivion, and that our busy, digitally obsessed lives are the single biggest threat to our spiritual growth. Sam and Christine unpack what that means — how doom scrolling, true crime binges, and the 24/7 news cycle slowly pull us out of alignment, and how taking a break when you're privileged enough to do so isn't selfish, it's necessary.

They also get honest about why people avoid the quiet. It's not just habit — it's fear. Fear of sitting with your own thoughts, fear of confronting wounds that need healing, fear of looking inward when it's so much easier to focus on someone else's problems. But the whole point of this kind of spring cleaning is that you don't have to sit there and catalog every issue in your life. The goal is to clear enough space to get into a high-frequency state where you're open and connected, not in constant resistance.

The episode wraps with a teaser for next time, when Christine shares her exploration of angels, Gabby Bernstein's work, and the spiritual energies that are available to all of us if we're willing to tap in.

Whether you're deeply religious, purely spiritual, somewhere in between, or just starting to ask the questions — consider this your invitation to sweep out what's no longer serving you and make room for what is.
