Spiritual Growth & Wine: Exploring Self-Discovery, Transformation & Wine Conversations
Denise Marsh is the author of "Do It For Your Selfie", a transformational retreat leader, self-friendship and inner healing guide, as well as a certified wine specialist. Combining her expertise in spiritual growth with her passion for wine, Denise specializes in guiding people through their transformation journey using wine as a unique tool for self-discovery and connection.
Spiritual Growth & Wine is the podcast for anyone looking to step deeper into their spiritual journey while learning about wine in a meaningful and enriching way. Whether you're seeking personal growth, healing, or just want to explore how wine can enhance your self-awareness, you’ve come to the right place.
This show will provide valuable insights for people who are on a path of spiritual evolution, personal growth, and those who love wine. If you’re ready to embrace your transformation, deepen your connection with yourself, and learn how wine can be a part of that process, this podcast is for you.
In each episode, we’ll dive into topics that inspire self-reflection, promote spiritual growth, and offer practical guidance for your personal journey. We’ll also explore the connection between wine and transformation, allowing you to savor both the moments of self-discovery and a glass of wine in hand.
Some episodes will feature a specific wine that aligns with the theme or purpose of the conversation, enhancing the experience and offering unique insights into how wine mirrors our personal growth and spiritual journeys. Whether it's a bold red or a crisp white, the wine is thoughtfully chosen to complement the discussion, helping you savor both the transformation and the sip.
This show will answer questions like:
- How does the wine-making process mirror the journey of spiritual growth and transformation?
- How can I embrace vulnerability as part of my healing and self-discovery process?
- How can I shift my mindset and embrace true self-love without feeling overwhelmed or pressured?
4. How can I balance spiritual growth with everyday life in a fun, approachable way?
5. How can I use the practice of mindfulness and presence in wine tasting to support my own growth?
6. What are the unspoken connections between the process of wine aging and personal evolution?
This podcast isn’t your typical wine show, and there is no snooty wine jargon here! It’s about fun, unique perspectives that combine spiritual exploration with a glass of wine in hand. While some episodes feature expert guests from both the spiritual and wine worlds, most will be solo episodes, where I’ll share my personal insights, tools, and stories to help you grow and evolve on your own journey.
Tune in each week for episodes that inspire you to grow, heal, and savor life’s journey sip by sip.

Not Every Season is a Vintage Year (and That’s Okay)
Not every year in winemaking is a celebrated vintage, and not every season of your life will feel like a highlight reel. Some years bring drought, storms, or unexpected setbacks. Others align beautifully, producing fruit that’s rich and full of promise.
In this episode of Spiritual Growth & Wine, Denise explores what it means to walk through the “off-vintage” years of life without losing hope, and why those hard seasons aren’t punishment. They are preparation. You’ll learn how to see your struggles differently, how to hold faith when everything feels stripped away, and how to trust that the roots you’re growing now will one day sustain the harvest that’s coming.
In the glass: Denise sips on an LBV Port (Late Bottled Vintage) , which is a rich, smooth fortified wine that, like our lives, takes extra time to mature and reveal its depth.
You’ll hear about:
- Why not every year is meant to sparkle — in wine or in life.
- How to reframe painful seasons as pruning, not punishment.
- Practical ways to “tend your vineyard” even in off-years.
- A powerful journal prompt to help you stop labeling seasons as “good” or “bad” and see them as part of your growth.
