In part 1 of our chat with Sarah, you will hear all about her journey into the New Age and the beginnings of her conversion to Christianity. Sarah shares how anxiety and panic attacks took over her life at an early age, leading her into New Age practices like crystals and meditation and becoming a Reiki 'healer'. Despite initially feeling a sense of relief and awakening, her spiritual path soon began to unravel.
Sarah opens up about hitting rock bottom with her mental health struggles, endometriosis and anorexia, and how the New Age practices stopped 'working'. Returning home to her Mum, Sarah grew curious about Christianity and ultimately realized that her New Age beliefs were filled with lies.
