What if the key to living a healthier, more fulfilled life isn’t found in striving harder, but in slowing down and tuning in?
This week on The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth, I sit down with Anji of Soulful Living with Anji, and y’all… I’m not exaggerating when I say this conversation changed me. I first met Anji at a guided meditation and oracle reading at Vella Yoga in Marion, Iowa, with the women of The Restoration Project (listen to my interviews with Lindsay, Brooke, and Sarah to learn more about TRP and its mission). It was late 2024, and that moment with Anji cracked something open in me, something deep and meaningful. It planted a seed that’s been guiding me ever since, both personally and professionally.
Anji is an intuitive empath, spiritual mentor, and psychic medium. She brings over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness space, but what truly sets her apart is her grounded, loving presence and her ability to guide women back to their own inner knowing. She’s here on this earth to be a divine messenger of love, healing, and spiritual wisdom—and trust me, that comes through loud and clear in our conversation.
Listening to the Nudges
One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Anji talks about the power of listening to the nudge.
“Sometimes opportunities are really obvious. Sometimes they’re just little pings, like, ‘Huh, that’s interesting…’ And when you pursue it, you can find that next level, that next iteration of your life.”
How often do we ignore the quiet pull because it doesn’t make sense on paper? Anji reminds us that the spiritual journey doesn’t always follow a clear roadmap. It asks us to trust, to stay curious, and to be open to the unknown.
“We get trapped in this idea of, ‘I’m going to know what I want to do with my life and everything has to fit in that.’ But when we’re being nudged by Spirit to go outside of that path, we think something’s falling apart… when really, we’re just being called to something new.”
Yes. A thousand times yes.
Anchoring in the Chaos
Another moment that really stuck with me was when Anji described the power of simple spiritual rituals, even something as simple as lighting a candle, as a way to drop anchor in the middle of life’s storms.
“There’s something going on, but you know what? I’m going to light a candle. And for that moment, I’ve dropped an anchor. I’m here with Spirit. I’m here with my higher power.”
We don’t always need a grand retreat or a mountain-top moment to reconnect. Sometimes, what we need is five minutes of quiet, a flicker of flame, and the willingness to be present.
Creating Consistent Soulful Spaces
Anji also talked about the monthly moon circles she facilitates, gatherings designed to help women tap into their natural rhythms and spiritual practices.
“We are not meant to be on all the time. It is not how we are biologically wired.”
Amen. In her circles, women come together to rest, reflect, and remember who they are—outside of productivity, outside of performance, outside of perfectionism.
Each circle includes a guided meditation, journaling, group discussion, and a monthly theme to help participants integrate spiritual tools into their everyday lives. It’s not about being more…it’s about being deeper.
If you’re feeling a little lost, a little disconnected, or like you’re being nudged into something new but aren’t sure what it is… this episode is for you.
You’ll walk away grounded, inspired, and maybe even with a few new tools for your own spiritual toolkit.
