What if heartbreak was a holy initiation — and your most important relationship was the one you have with yourself?

In this soulful and laugh-filled episode, I’m joined by artist, coach, and author Danette Relic of Radical Creative Sanctuary. We explore the healing magic of self-marriage, the sacredness of breakups, and how creativity can become a form of spiritual devotion.

Danette shares the origin story of her own self-wedding (over 20 years ago!), the wisdom behind her beautiful new book Crash Bloom: A Creative Guide to Growing Through Your Breakup, and how spirituality, community, and humor have shaped her life and work. We also talk about the difference between faith and religion, the importance of coming home to yourself, and why authenticity might just be the holiest thing of all.

Whether you're moving through grief, seeking a deeper relationship with yourself, or just woo-curious about this whole self-marriage thing… this one’s for you.
