110. How to Be Seen: Find Hope and Joy

Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster September 21, 2025 Duration: 14:49
Hello, beautiful! If you’ve ever longed to be truly seen—not for what you do or achieve, but for who you are at your core—this episode is for you.   I’m sharing a heartfelt journey through music, scripture, and poetry, from Colbie Caillat’s reminder that “you don’t have to change a single thing” to Mary Oliver’s "The Wild Geese,” which whispers that you already belong just as you are.   Together, we’ll explore what it means to move from longing to belonging, and from being unseen to living joyfully and authentically.   Come to understand the importance of connection, authenticity, and self-love as essential components of healing and faith-filled living.   You’ll learn: 👣 Why being seen is essential to authentic connection 👣 How music and scripture remind us we are already loved 👣 Why tiny acts of self-care aren’t luxuries—they’re survival and celebration   ✨ Plus, you’ll hear songs that inspire, quotes that uplift, and a heartfelt prayer to remind you that you are enough, loved, and never invisible in God’s eyes.   🎧 Grab your cup of tea, curl up in your cozy spot, and bring along my Affirmation Journal—available here: https://riselovelive.com/Affirmation%20Guide.    Use code PODCAST15 for 15% off any workbook!   🌟 Know someone who needs this reminder?
