The Kindred Journey I Spiritual Healing | Soul Purpose | True Identity | Somatic Healing
This podcast is for women seeking a sacred space to explore spirituality, identity, and healing. Hosted by somatic coach Lesley Alberts, it weaves nervous system regulation, embodied healing, and trauma-informed wisdom into discussions about receiving identity rather than earning it. The show welcomes the spiritually curious, wounded, wandering, and wildly awake, offering a seat at the table for those who don't have it all figured out.
Episodes
75 | Rebirth: What Nobody Tells You About Becoming Who You Actually Are
A real rebirth requires a death first.In this episode Lesley shares one of the most personal and vulnerable stories she has told on this podcast.

73 | Never Waste a Good Trigger
The thing that just set you off? Don't waste it.In this episode Lesley reframes everything you were taught about being triggered. A trigger is not proof that you are weak, too sensitive, or broken. It is information. It is your body pointing directly to something that has been sitting inside as an ember from something unhealed, waiting for the right spark to ignite the whole thing again. She walk
72 | Where Are You Missing Out on God?
What if God has been speaking to you this entire time and you just didn't know which language to listen for?From a story of an encounter Lesley goes deeper into something most of us were never taught. In Greek, there are three distinct words all translated as 'word' in English. And understanding the difference changes everything about how you receive God.This episode is an open-handed,
71 | Outgrowing Is Not Failure It Is Evidence of Growth
What do you do when the soil you were planted in can no longer sustain what you are becoming?This episode was recorded in real time, not from a place of having arrived on the other side, but from the middle of the season itself.

70 | Rest Is a Posture Not a Practice

69 | Absorbing Energy That Isn't Yours
What if some of what you've been carrying… was never yours to carry in the first place?In this deeply embodied conversation, we explore what it actually means to absorb energy that doesn’t belong to you and why so many highly sensitive women have mistaken empathic overwhelm for anxiety, emotional instability, or “being too much.”This episode is for the woman who walks into a room and immediat
68 | Love Is Disruptive
What if everything that broke you open was actually love doing its most important work?In this episode Lesley goes back to one of the most disruptive seasons of her life, 18 months with no reprieve between them.

67 | Unbecoming to Belong
Your body responds to rejection as if your life depends on it. Because for thousands of years it did.In this episode Lesley unpacks why the longing to belong is not a character flaw, it is ancient wiring. Being excluded from the tribe once meant exposure. Death.

65 | Your Body Was Never the Problem, It Was Trying to Keep You Safe
What happens when your body starts screaming what your mind refuses to hear?This episode is one of the most personal ones yet. Lesley opens with the season she rarely talks about — her first solo summer as a mother of two, an overwhelmed nervous system, coping mechanisms she didn't yet have words for, and the moment a bag of spilled rice brought her to her knees.From there she moves into the w
64 | Spirituality Is Your Birthright
What if religion was never meant to be the destination?This episode goes somewhere tender. And somewhere true.Lesley opens with the wound so many women carry quietly — the fracture that forms when the container meant to hold God becomes the thing standing between you and Him. When religion shifts from a doorway into relationship to a system of control, fear, guilt, and shame, it doesn't just hurt
63 | Welcome Back: The Rebirth of The Kindred Journey
IN THIS EPISODEAfter nearly a year of silence — she's back.In May 2025, Lesley went quiet. No explanation. No goodbye. Just stillness. What looked like an absence was actually the most necessary disappearance of her life — a full season of surrender, somatic healing, identity reclamation, and what she calls Metanoia: a complete transformation of mind, heart, and direction.This episode is the r

Kindred Journey Trailer
Welcome to the Kindred Journey! This podcast is about connecting with women who have experienced everything from the liberating to challenging seasons of life and how these experiences have shaped these incredible women into who they are today. I hope you join me and this inspiring tribe of women, to laugh, connect, and maybe even cry a little on this Kindred Journey.
Xo,
Lesley
