| Overthinking Everything: Where Does the Mind Even Go? | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:27:55 | |
In this episode of Subconsciously, Shea lets her mind do exactly what it does best... wander. There’s no script, no plan, just the kind of honest, scattered stream of consciousness that feels like catching up with an old friend. What starts with a rant about car traffic quickly spirals into talk about her current monthly favorites, random news stories that caught her attention, and an inevitable detour into corny dad jokes that make you groan and laugh at the same time. Somewhere in the mix, Halloween makes its entrance and her thoughts about Halloween and how she used to feel about it versus being a Christian and viewing Halloween. It’s an episode that doesn’t follow a map but somehow finds its way — a comforting reminder that not every conversation has to be deep, structured, or tied up neatly with a bow. Sometimes, the beauty of being human is just thinking out loud. So if your own mind has been running in circles lately, grab a drink, sit back, and join Shea on this unpredictable little journey of thoughts, tangents, and everything in between. | |||
| Am I Behind in Life? The Truth About Waiting Too Long | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:25:40 | |
After nearly a year away from the mic, Shea returns to Subconsciously with one of her most honest and reflective episodes yet. “You Waited Too Long” explores what it feels like to believe you’ve missed your chance—to think you’re behind in life, that the opportunities you once dreamed of have already passed, or that everyone else is moving forward while you’re still standing still. In this deeply personal conversation, Shea opens up about her own journey through self-doubt, comparison, and creative burnout. She revisits the part of her story where music once defined her purpose, and how stepping away from it made her question her identity. But through faith, healing, and a quiet rediscovery of passion, she learns that waiting isn’t wasted time—it’s preparation. This episode touches on the quiet moments we don’t talk about enough: the feeling of being stuck, the fear of starting over, and the courage it takes to finally move when you’ve been standing still for too long. Shea reflects on performing again for the first time in three years, confronting imposter syndrome head-on, and realizing that growth often happens in the background while we’re still doubting ourselves. In this episode, Shea shares:
If you’ve ever felt late to your own life, this episode is your reminder that there is no missed timing—only divine timing. You’re not behind. You’re right on schedule. Follow Shea on Instagram for updates and reflections: | |||
