Spiritual Wayfinding for Leaders at Life's Thresholds
For accomplished people navigating major transitions—career changes, ministry pivots, midlife reckonings, or the space between what was and what's next. I'm Elaine Murray: ordained Presbyterian minister, author of In Your End Is Your Beginning, and guide for people navigating threshold seasons.
My work integrates theological depth, change management, family systems, and hard-won wisdom from my own transitions. For over a decade, I've walked alongside leaders through career pivots, spiritual reckonings, and life redesigns. I'm now accepting private clients for intensive 1:1 wayfinding work.
Spiritual Wayfinding™️:
The Practice of Living Soul First
What Is Spiritual Wayfinding?
You don’t need to rewrite your life.
You need help locating yourself inside it.
Spiritual Wayfinding is for accomplished people standing at significant thresholds who need help discerning what's true, not just what's practical. Together, we slow down long enough to notice what's steady, what's asking for attention, and what's ready to change. This is not motivation or optimization. It's discernment, practiced over time.
“What she does isn’t about religion. It’s soul work. For powerful
people who are looking to connect—especially in this time when it’s
hard to trust that it’s real.”
I Work With People Like...
→ The executive director leaving nonprofit leadership after 15 years who needs help discerning what's next without rushing into the wrong thing
→ The corporate professional who's successful by external measures but feels spiritually misaligned and is ready to redesign their life
→ The pastor or ministry leader navigating burnout, call transition, or stepping away from institutional church work
→ The midlife professional at a threshold—divorce, empty nest, career plateau—who wants to make their next chapter count
→ The entrepreneur or creative who's achieved what they set out to do and is now wondering "what does my soul actually want?"
This work is
for you if:
You're navigating a major life transition and need more than advice— you need accompaniment
You value deep, relational guidance over quick fixes
You're willing to slow down and do reflective work
You're ready to invest significantly in your own clarity
You want to make decisions you can stand behind for the rest of your life
Why This Work, Why Now
I'm an ordained Presbyterian minister (MDiv, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary) and author of In Your End Is Your Beginning: A Memoir & Spiritual Wayfinding Manual.
For 14 years, I've served as a pastor and organizational communications leader, walking alongside hundreds of people through career transitions, spiritual reckonings, grief, reinvention, and major life thresholds.
My approach integrates:
Theological depth and pastoral care (14 years in ministry)
Change management and organizational leadership
Family systems theory
Spiritual formation practices
Therapeutic frameworks (including graduate study in counseling)
I've also navigated my own threshold seasons: leaving parish ministry, exploring vocational paths including health coaching and graduate work that ultimately didn't stick, and learning to discern what's true versus what's expected. I guide from lived experience, not just theory. I understand both the soul work and the practical realities of significant change—the mess, the uncertainty, the process of rebuilding when the old structures no longer fit.
I now work privately with a small number of clients at a time, bringing this integrated wisdom to people standing at their own thresholds.

What People Say About This Work
“What is it that Elaine does?
Creates sacred space for powerful people to reconnect to their souls without fear, without judgment, without shame, without having to pretend to be anything other than who or what I am.
Elaine is a mirror.
She gives me the opportunity to construct my own reflection”
“I’m not Christian, and I started reading this not certain what spiritual
wayfinding was or how it applied to me. To my delight, the lessons here
turned out to be for anyone who is going through loss or change, regardless
of their beliefs or background. I especially like the ‘wayfinding practices’:
exercises at the end of each chapter that allow the reader to engage with
the message of the book in their own way. It blends candor in storytelling
with insight and courage.”
“I lost my way—questioning my beliefs, my worth, my life’s purpose.
Elaine stood by my side through raging waters, letting my storms pass
without judgment. She helped me remember my life’s calling and find
the confidence I’d lost”
