The Nuclear Button - Nate Morris Part II

Welcome to the Inner Compass Podcast.The process of creating this podcast allowed for us to more deeply heal and alchemize our experiences, and the wounding that came from a life within a high demand religion (the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints / Mormonism). This is a true offering from our hearts, and an honoring of our lived experience.From the time we were children we were conditioned to outsource our own authority and intuition to the men who presided over us. We were taught the value of free agency and personal revelation, but only if it matched the church’s teachings. This left us disempowered and disconnected from our own innate knowing and power. We were taught that obedience is the crowning virtue. This left us vulnerable to manipulation and control in relationships and from our priesthood authorities.&nbsp;Eventually the confusion and heartache that came from our own inner knowing was not matching what the church taught, led to our faith expansion and unraveling of a lifelong belief system. Feeling and knowing our own hearts to be pure and good finally led us to make a choice. When our own inner voice and knowing are saying one thing and the church is saying another, which do we follow?In each episode we will take you on our individual and collective journey to answer this question. Join us each week to listen to our unique and somehow universal experiences, and how in the end we listened to our own inner compass and turned our wounds into wisdom.Podcast Episodes:1.
