Spirit Outspoken

In this episode, Rachael and Jaisa sit down for an unplanned conversation about the launch of their brand-new astrology guides and the overwhelming response they've received since Sunday. What started as a personal tool for healing and spiritual growth has turned into something neither of them could have imagined.
Jaisa shares how her journey with astrology began five years ago when her spiritual mentor, Candace, encouraged her to explore her North Node. That discovery sparked years of writing personal reflections, gathering women in circles, and witnessing how deeply these insights could impact someone's relationship with themselves, others, and even God.
Rachael and Jaisa break down their three new offerings: The Letter, The Life Map, and The Parent-Child Map. They explain why their approach isn't about predicting the future, but about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing patterns, healing old wounds, and stepping into who you're becoming. With Rachael's background as a certified integrative health coach, each guide goes beyond astrology to include practical tools, journal prompts, and exercises for real-life transformation.
They also share personal stories about how these insights are changing the way they communicate, parent, and navigate relationships, along with a moving message from a listener that captures why this work means so much to them.
If you've ever been curious about astrology but weren't sure where to begin, or you're looking for a deeper understanding of yourself and the people you love, this conversation offers a refreshing, empowering way to explore what's written in the stars.

This week's minisode answers a question from Claire N. Foley on Instagram: How do you teach your children about faith? Jaisa and Rachael openly admit they are still figuring this out as they go. However they reflect on how sharing an honest, open-minded take on raising curious kids who feel loved and free to question has been beautiful and helpful within the walls of their homes.

In this episode:
Why it's okay for kids to question, and for parents to say "I don't know"
Letting go of the pressure to have all the answers
Resisting the urge to pass down inherited answers. Ask "What do you think?" first
What kids can teach us, and how a big question from a child can open up a conversation
Making room for kids to think for themselves, even if they land somewhere you didn't expect
Mixing traditions: Catholic school and sacraments alongside moon rituals and time in nature
Finding what works for each child, because spirituality isn't one-size-fits-all
Keeping faith fun, not just rules and doctrine
Have your own approach to faith with your kids? Share it in the comments.

In this episode, pastor and author Kristin Mockler Young returns to Spirit Outspoken to talk about her new book, The Other Side of Certainty. She shares why so many people quietly wonder if they’re crazy or alone for questioning, and why changing your mind is part of growing in faith, not walking away from it.
Jaisa and Rachael dig into deconstruction and the religious shame that keeps so many people performing and proving. Kristin explains how to find your own holy burden instead of feeling guilty for everything you’re not doing, how to trust your discernment and see God in unexpected places, how to stay curious and compassionate with family and friends who don’t understand your journey.and why “I don’t know” can be one of the most faithful answers there is. 
If you’re tired of performing, proving or feeling alone in your faith, this conversation offers a more honest, freeing and hopeful way forward.

The books that rewired their faith, calmed their minds, and changed how they see life are finally out in the open. Jaisa and Rachael share the most influential reads in their libraries, from spiritual classics to astrology texts, and explain why these are the books they return to when they need clarity, comfort, or a completely new lens.

Together, they compare notes on the titles that shaped their thinking, including The Untethered Soul, A New Earth, The Power of Now, Jesus Calling, Richard Rohr's contemplative Christianity, and Stephen Forrest's astrology books Inner Sky and Yesterday's Sky. They also talk about why some books land only at the right time, why rereading matters, and how a great book can act like therapy for your heart and soul.

What if heaven isn’t a reward waiting at the end of your life, but something you can step into right now?
In this episode, Vinney Tolman, author of The Light After Death, shares the near-death experience that turned his understanding of Christianity upside down. Raised to see life as a courtroom where souls are sorted for heaven or hell, Vinney found himself watching his own death, then being met by a loving guide he later recognized in a family photo as one of his ancestors.
Jaisa and Rachael dig into what he saw on the other side, why he came back feeling more Christian than ever, and what he learned about fear, love and the teachings of Jesus, the one he calls Yeshua.
The ladies also explore whether heaven is a place, a choice or a state of being, why Vinney sees hell as fear we choose until it starts choosing us, and how reincarnation may have once been part of Christian thought.
This conversation is for anyone who was taught to fear the afterlife and is ready to imagine something far more loving.
Vinney Tolman:
Vincent “Vinney” Tolman is the author of The Light After Death: My Journey to Heaven and Back. Since his near-death experience, he has shared his story around the world, inviting people to see heaven, love and faith through a far more expansive lens.
