I Thought I Was Chasing Success: The Story Behind My Spiritual Journey

If you had told me fifteen years ago that I'd one day be writing books, hosting a podcast, and talking openly about my spiritual journey, I would have laughed.

The truth is, I didn't begin my spiritual journey because I was searching for God. I began because I wanted to be more successful in business.

In this episode, I share the unexpected story of how curiosity, a remarkable woman named Debbi, and a coach who introduced me to the idea of "God Walks" quietly changed the direction of my life.

Looking back, I can see that what I thought I was searching for wasn't success at all. It was peace.

Whether you're on your own spiritual journey, simply curious, or wondering if there's something more, I hope this story encourages you to reflect on what first opened the door for you.
