Rev. Cindy Pincus shares the winding journey that led her from culturally Jewish roots to Christian ministry, Indigenous ceremony, and psychic training—all while working closely with death as a chaplain and hospice worker. We talk about spiritual conviction, empire, grief, and the mysterious grace that sometimes shows up right when everything falls apart.

Today’s guest is Reverend Cindy Pincus—minister, death doula, and someone who I now consider a spiritual comrade. We originally met at a First Friday art market in Denver when she walked straight up to my table and picked up my “Money + the Spiritual Path” zine. I remember thinking, this person has sparkles around them. And I was right.
In this conversation, Cindy shares the wild, beautiful, and unexpected path that’s led her through Christian seminary, Indigenous ceremony, psychic training, and years of hospice and hospital chaplaincy. She speaks with rare clarity about death, grief, ministry, and spiritual courage—and about the surprising places her deepest convictions came from. (Spoiler: one involved a protest, a votive candle, and a head injury.)
