Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik | Wellness & Personal Growth Hosts June 30, 2026 Duration: 1:34:39
What if purpose isn't about doing more—but about letting go of everything that isn't meant for you? Blu of Earth + Lily Ashwell join Krista to explore how slowing down, trusting your intuition, and releasing external validation can help you reconnect with the work that truly aligns with your purpose. Together, they share the years-long creative journey behind their handcrafted tarot deck + the mindset shifts that allowed them to embrace uncertainty, trust divine timing, and create from a place of authenticity. Their conversation is a reminder that your next chapter doesn't have to be forced—it unfolds when you create space for it. From navigating life-changing transitions to reconnecting with your inner wisdom, Blu + Lily reveal how purpose, emotional healing, and self-awareness emerge when we stop chasing what looks good on paper and start listening to ourselves. If you're questioning your path or feeling called toward something new, this episode is for you. We also talk about: Why slowing down can unlock deeper creativity + purpose The spiritual lessons hidden within major life transitions Blu's experience navigating hearing loss + unexpected change How to trust divine timing when life isn't going according to plan Building authentic friendships through honesty + repair The difference between creating for validation vs. creating from the soul Letting go of perfectionism in the creative process How intuition can guide your next chapter Resources: Find Heavenly Bodies Tarot available for purchase exclusively on Amazon (US only - for now).  Instagram: @bluofearth Instagram: @lilyashwell Website: bluofearth.com Website: lilyashwell.com  Substack: https://substack.com/@lilyashwell Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.
