  • So Relatable

    Just found these ladies! Coming from the Last Days Ministries side, DTS, I didn’t think I would find anyone I could closely relate with but this hit the mark so much. I’m 2 episodes in but can’t wait to listen to each one!

    Couldn’t get past these irresponsible pet owners laughing about not spaying/neutering their cats, contributing to overpopulation and overflow of animal shelters.

  • So much love and appreciation for this show

    This show is beautiful and so validating.

I’ve been on this journey for 4 years now and learning to trust my intuition and gut instincts for the first time in my life. It’s so powerful for anyone coming out of an environment of shame, gaslighting, and constant self-doubt and questioning of our own... more

  • I feel seen

    Besides making me LOL, Holy Ghosting has validated so much of my experience. Sarai, Meg, and Lindsey are so great. I love that their convos reject that there is one “right” way to be spiritual and instead focus on diverse individual stories. I found them in Nov 23 and am almost caught up on all episodes. Fav so far: Convo with DL Mayfield. Thanks for your great content!!!
