About Me 


Spiritual Guidance for Women in Transition

My name is Connie Papayani, and I offer spiritual guidance for women in transition—women who are navigating seasons of change where life no longer fits the way it once did.

Transitions can be obvious or quiet. They can come through loss, burnout, divorce, faith shifts, identity changes, or the subtle knowing that something is ending and something new is beginning. These seasons often leave women feeling disoriented, spiritually unsure, and deeply tired of forcing their way forward.

My work exists to support women in that in-between space—with presence, discernment, and faith-centered guidance.

How I Came to This Work

I didn’t arrive here because I had answers. I arrived here because I learned how to sit with questions—my own and others’.

Over the years, I’ve walked alongside women during seasons where certainty fell away and deeper listening became necessary. I’ve seen how transitions can unsettle faith, disrupt prayer, and expose exhaustion that has been carried for far too long.

I believe these moments are not spiritual failures.
They are invitations—to slow down, to listen honestly, and to let faith become more embodied, spacious, and real.

Education & Formation

My work is grounded in both academic study and lived spiritual formation.

  • Bachelor of Arts in Education, CW Post

  • Master of Arts in Christian Leadership and Ministry, Grand Canyon University

  • Doctoral Studies in Spiritual Formation (PhD – in progress), Grand Canyon University

My academic focus centers on Christian spiritual formation, discernment, leadership, and the lived experience of faith—especially during seasons of transition and change.

Credentials, Accreditation & Licensure

I hold professional credentials and affiliations that support ethical, grounded spiritual care:

  • Accredited Member, World Metaphysical Association

  • Accredited Member, American Holistic Association

  • Teaching License, New York State

  • Ordained Minister, Universal Life Church

My work operates within clear ethical boundaries and is offered as spiritual guidance and faith-based support, not clinical therapy or medical treatment.

Professional Experience & Areas of Practice

Over the years, my work has included one-on-one guidance, group facilitation, teaching, and spiritual leadership across a variety of settings.

My experience includes work as a:

  • Spiritual Guide & Intuitive Counselor

  • Meditation Instructor

  • Life Coach & Peer Advisor

  • Group Facilitator & Retreat Planner

  • Curriculum Creator & Author

  • Healing Arts & Metaphysical Practitioner

  • Christian Theologian & Teacher

  • Podcast Host & Media Contributor

  • Ministry Leader 

At the heart of all of this work is the same intention:
to help women slow down, listen deeply, and discern what is unfolding in their lives with clarity and peace.

Media & Public Work

My work has been featured and shared through various media platforms, including:

  • As Seen On: FIOS 1 News and News 12

  • Featured Contributor, Kingdom Business Network and Spiritual Alchemy

  • Co-Host, The Art of Heaven

  • Host, Life Unexpected

These platforms have allowed me to speak publicly about faith, discernment, healing, and spiritual formation in accessible, real-world ways.

My Approach to Spiritual Guidance

My approach is calm, grounded, and faith-centered. I do not offer quick fixes, spiritual pressure, or performative faith.

Instead, I focus on:

  • Discernment when the path forward feels unclear

  • Helping women hear God’s voice without fear or striving

  • Supporting nervous system regulation so peace is possible

  • Creating space to name what is ending and what is emerging

  • Walking with women rather than directing or fixing

Spiritual guidance is not about having answers.
It’s about cultivating the conditions where listening becomes possible.

An Invitation

If you are in transition and seeking spiritual guidance that is compassionate, grounded, and rooted in faith, you are welcome here.

You don’t have to rush this season.
You don’t have to perform your faith.
And you don’t have to walk this threshold alone.


This site offers spiritual guidance, faith-based discernment, and emotional support for women in transition navigating seasons of change with care and integrity.

3 Passive Income Ideas for ADHD Brains

Why Securing Passive Income is Essential for People with ADHD If you have ADHD, you already know the world isn’t built for brains like ours. Between juggling new ideas, hyperfocus sprints, and then hitting that wall where your interest fizzles out entirely, keeping a traditional full-time job feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. For me, it was a constant cycle of starting a new job, being all-in, loving the rush of something new, and then… "bam", the honeymoon phase would end. I’d find myself mentally checked out, and then it’s like pulling teeth to stay engaged. Eventually, I’d leave and the cycle would repeat. This made it nearly impossible for me to stay in one place, let alone thrive in the structure of a 40-hour workweek. I was burning out fast because self-care, like getting enough sleep or taking mental health days, just didn’t fit in with that lifestyle. And when I tried starting my own business, I was met with another beast: consistency. Being the...
