The Interior Castle: Mansion 1 | Signs You’re Spiritually Growing & Personal Reflections
Welcome back to A Little More Inspired. I had to take a longer break from creating these videos, which I love making so much. I had some family things come up, and for a while, my life seemed to have little to no free time. We’re in calmer waters now, and I was so excited to finally have the time to finish the end of Mansion One and explore the themes of spiritual progression.
Especially in the beginning, it can sometimes feel like we aren’t making any spiritual progress because so much of our prayer life still requires intentional effort. But Mansion One is already the beginning of grace. The desire itself is grace. The desire to know God, to grow closer to Him, and to become better to the people around us.
We are far from perfect here, but God rejoices in the heart that desires Him.
In this episode, we’ll explore some of the signs that you are spiritually growing and how to follow that desire for God with greater conviction. We’ll also talk about the three enemies of the soul: the world, the flesh, and the dark one himself.
As always, you know I like to mix what I’m learning with my own personal reflections because these videos are really part of my own spiritual growth, too. I’m learning right alongside you. I’m no spiritual expert, just a very curious, very much still trying, regular person who wants to know God more deeply.
And, as always, I hope you leave feeling a little more inspired.

The Interior Castle | Mansion 1: Self-Knowledge & Contemplation
Hi everyone! Welcome back to a new episode of A Little More Inspired.
Today, I’m continuing my series on The Interior Castle and diving deeper into the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila.
Mansion One is the beginning of the spiritual life, and like anything new, it is often the hardest part because it requires an immense amount of change and effort from us. Leaving behind a life of distraction is not easy, especially because the world, with all of its attractive things, constantly tries to pull us back into our old ways.
This stage is also the beginning of grace, because even having the desire to think differently, seek God, and change your life is already God’s grace working within you.
In this episode, we explore self-knowledge and contemplation, two things that must be worked together in balance throughout the spiritual journey.
Self-knowledge is the art of honest self-examination. It is learning to look inward truthfully and take inventory of what is and is not working in our lives. But like anything, too much self-focus can eventually lead to paralysis if we are not also dedicating time to sit in God’s presence and allow Him to dwell within us.
To move forward spiritually, we need both examination and contemplation: a healthy awareness of ourselves, and a deeper intimacy with God. Once we begin finding that balance, we slowly begin moving toward true spiritual transformation.
So join me as we learn together, and as always, I hope you leave feeling a little more inspired.

The Interior Castle: Entering the Inner Courtyard of Mansion 1
Hi everyone 🤍 welcome back to A Little More Inspired.
In this episode of my Interior Castle series by St. Teresa of Ávila, we begin moving inward—leaving the outer distractions of the world and stepping into the first areas of the soul.
We talk about what it actually looks like to start the spiritual life, and why it often begins not with peace… but with discomfort.
That feeling that something is missing?
That quiet restlessness?
That’s not random—it’s grace.
In this episode, we explore:
• why most people stay near the outer walls
• how distraction, comparison, and attachment keep us there
• the difference between venial and mortal sin (in a real, practical way)
• how sin slowly distorts our perception and weakens the soul
• and why God is not ranking us—but inviting us into deeper relationship
We also talk about something really important—
how fear-based teaching and shame can actually push people away from God, and what it looks like to understand sin from a place of clarity instead of fear.
This episode is really about awareness.
Understanding where we are, what is shaping us,
and what it means to begin choosing a life that moves us closer to God.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing,
or like you’re being called to something deeper… this is for you.
I hope you enjoy this episode and leave feeling a little more inspired 🤍
