Praying for a New Perspective & Shifting Fear Into Faith (Moving Through the Storm, Part 4)
We’re deep into our 5-part series here on The Femme Cast, called Moving Through the Storms, Upheavals and Massive Change, where I’m sharing the exact spiritual tools I use to navigate uncertainty, fear, and life’s biggest challenges with grace and personal power. Divorce, heartbreak, loss of a home, loss of a job, living on overdraft for what felt like an eternity. These were the tools that helped me through all of it.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed—whether in your personal life, relationships, or just with everything happening in the world—this series is for you.
Today’s episode is all about praying for a new perspective—because sometimes, when fear and worst-case scenarios start taking over, the only thing we can do is ask for a shift in how we see things. Whether you call it prayer, meditation, or simply asking the universe for guidance, this practice can change everything when you feel stuck in fear. In this episode, I’ll share how I use this tool to shift my energy, find clarity, and reconnect to trust, even when I can’t see the way forward. If you’ve been feeling consumed by fear, this episode is going to help you move through it.
Let’s do this.
Come back tomorrow for Part 5, How to Take Your Power Back & Create the Best Possible Outcomes.

Hey you guys, what is up and welcome back to the show. Today is part four of our five-part series, moving Through the Storm. Today's all about praying for new perspective and shifting fear into faith when we just can't do it on our own. Life will test you and these moments that we're talking about, about this major upheaval, this change, this chaos, this transformation, where anything you know, everything gets very uncertain and chaotic, it can feel very overwhelming. Whether it's from a personal struggle, relationship challenges, chaos in the world around you, it doesn't matter. It's so easy to get stuck in fear and doubt, and you know we talked the other day about. You know how you can surrender what's not in your power to control, um, or to do anything about, and focus on what you can. We talked about making mindset shifts. But you know what, you guys, there's going to be moments where it just all gets the best of you.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I had this moment the other day. I think I had it today. It just all gets the best of you. I had this moment the other day, I think I had it today. Like, if I'm being honest, you know, I do everything I can to try and avoid listening to the news and scrolling through social media. But there it was in my face again, and as soon as I saw it, you know it was so hard to keep a positive perspective Like it was so hard to keep a positive perspective. Why on earth did my soul choose to incarnate in this lifetime? Why did I choose this? What is the benefit? In what way could this be helping my evolution as a human being? How could this possibly work out for the highest good for everyone involved? And I couldn't see it. I couldn't see it. All I could see were all the ways that this was all set up for disaster, and I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. All I know is that it became very hard to keep a positive mindset in all of this, and so I kind of leaned on this practice today. So if you're feeling stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, unclear, fearful, by all means, you know, do this with me. This is actually. This is actually a practice I learned from Gabby Bernstein. If you guys follow her, she's amazing. I love her. Um, and you know she, she calls this. You know she, she does it as a prayer as well, um, and she just, you know, she just sets the intention. I am willing to see this differently. I am open to seeing this differently. Please help me to see this differently. It's very similar to that, identical actually, just different words. I just make it like a full on prayer and conversation that I have with God or universe or source or whatever deity or higher power. You resonate with higher self, maybe whatever, but basically what I do is, you know, I, I make it an honest conversation Cause.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Again, for me, it is so important for me to be able to express my feelings and express what's coming up for me, and being able to voice that and put, um, some, give it some space, give it the space that it deserves, without identifying, like there's a way to say these things where you're not making it part of your stamping into your energetic field, right, or your energetic signature. So what's an example? So an example would be like I could say I would never say I'm angry, but I might say would be like I could say I would never say I'm angry, but I might say I feel very angry right now. And this is why, right, there's a difference between using I am statements and I feel statements. I am statements are affirmations, I feel statements are expressions. We really need to be careful how we use these, because words do carry energy, um, but you know, having said that, we just have to, that doesn't say we shouldn't talk about what we're feeling, like we have.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I don't know when this became a thing that we stopped talking about our feelings, because we can talk about our feelings. We just need to do it in an empowered way where we can kind of move through them with how do I say this? Repeat the benefits of it, because our emotions are here to support us. Whether you like it or not, whether they feel good or not, our emotions are here to support us in our evolution. They guide us into what we want to create for ourselves in our life. They let us know what we love and what we don't, what we want to see, what we don't want to see, what we want to create more of. They are literally our energetic GPS as we move through life.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And yet we're always taught to ignore them, not express them, not talk about them, pretend they're not there and just mindset our way out of them. It is so fucked up for me, like I can't believe, like I don't know how we got here. You can still keep a positive mindset while being very present with a painful emotion mindset while being very present with a painful emotion. The two can coexist simultaneously and we have to stop segregating our emotional body from our experience. It's just. It's become so toxic and unhealthy it's crazy. We can move through a difficult emotion and still feel love and gratitude and be at peace and manifest good shit into our experience.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The important thing is that we don't get caught. They're stuck in it, right, which is oftentimes what we're doing when we're ignoring it. We're getting. We may not be talking mentally stuck in it, may not be talking about it or obsessing over it, but energetically we're still stuck in it. We're getting. We may not be talking mentally stuck in it, may not be talking about it or obsessing over it, but energetically we're still stuck in it. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Like I really hope this is landing in a way that makes sense, because it's so important, it's such an important conversation. I've totally gone off on a tangent, but whatever.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So for those moments where we can't shift, for those moments where that higher perspective is not available, for those moments where that higher perspective is not available, for the moments where we just don't see the benefit in this at all to ourselves or to anyone else where we don't see a way out, where it literally looks like doom and gloom. Right, please, god, I am struggling right now. I am saying a prayer for anyone who is listening to this right now, who's struggling with something, who feels pain, who feels anger, who feels fear, who feels uncertainty. I pray for anyone listening to this right now. I am praying for myself when I feel this, in these moments where everything just feels so uncertain, everything just feels so chaotic, everything just feels like there is no possible positive outcome. I know that you are bigger. I know that you are greater. I know that you are bigger. I know that you are greater. I know that you are the all-powerful and I know that you can move mountains and move situations and circumstances beyond anything that I could comprehend. So help me to see this from a different perspective, help me to see this in a positive light, help me to shift my mindset around this. So I'm open to the possibilities that grace can happen, that miracles can happen, that things can shift for the better at any moment.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Amen, or something like that, but that is, that is a prayer that I would sorry I'm just reaching for my phone, guys that is a prayer that I would move through, that I would use when I'm having a hard time shifting perspective, when I'm having a hard time taking that higher perspective to what's happening around me, understanding what the soul lesson is, and and again, make it honest. Just have the conversation with whatever higher being you choose to have this conversation. Sorry, oh, hiccups, hiccups, yawns, all of it coming at the same time. Wow, there's so much energy moving right now. You'll know if you for those of you who've done touch with me you know that when energy starts to move, I start yawning. So this is really cool.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So, yeah, give yourself that. Okay, give yourself the opportunity to just be honest about what you're feeling, be honest about what you're having a hard time moving through, and ask for the assistance to move through it with grace, with faith, with love, with peace and with a more uplifting perspective.
