AWAKENING: Why insight is only one level of healing (and how to go deeper)
Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast
06/26/22 • 29 min
5.0
This episode of AWAKENING explores the dangers of staying only at a mental level of healing (mental insights or breakthroughs) and not applying or living your insights.
Join me for a discussion of:
- how and why insight is only one level of healing
- the temptation to stay only at a mental level of healing, which can delay emotional, spiritual, and physical healing
- how we can become addicted to mental breakthroughs at the expense of deeper healing
- the importance of reclaiming your personal responsibility in your healing process
- how to actively use your insights to awaken and transform your life, from the inside out
I hope this episode is helpful and brings you some ideas of how to heal in an integrative, holistic way that takes into account your whole being.

11/26/22 • 33 min
In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore what it means to experience a crisis of purpose as you awaken. Join me for a discussion of:
- what is a crisis of purpose? how do you know if you're going through one?
- how waking up spiritually can make us realize we're not in alignment with our true purpose
- how your tolerance for mis-alignment and lack of fulfillment goes down the more you awaken
- my own crisis of purpose that led me to quit academia to start doing spiritual work
- practices to begin connecting with your true, Soul-level purpose
Throughout the episode, I mention my upcoming course - Journey to the Center of Yourself: Discover Your True Purpose. To explore the course details, click below:

Inner Work 047: On Healing & Belonging with Shamanic Practitioner Mari Abraham
Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast
12/18/18 • 78 min
*Please be advised: episode contains mature content.*
Mari Abraham is a Sangoma, a traditional Zulu shamanic practitioner. In this interview, I ask her about her spiritual journey of healing and transformation. Mari shares her insights about the state of spirituality today, how we must become responsible for healing ourselves before we extend our healing out into the world, and how we must help each other achieve a greater sense of belonging just being who we are. We also briefly discuss the nervous system and the importance of sexuality in fully healing the body.

TRIGGERED! When the holidays feel stressful or draining
Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast
11/23/21 • 17 min
Aaah, the holidays... a magical time of gathering with loved ones and celebrating our blessings. That is, ideally!
For many people, the holidays can be a lot more stressful, draining, or anxiety-inducing than the picture-perfect image of a loving family gathered around a fancy table. The holidays - whichever ones you choose to celebrate - can bring up mixed emotions or fill you with anticipatory dread, worry, and stress.
In this special holiday edition of TRIGGERED!, I talk about:
the importance of breaking with old traditions that feel draining, confining, or dysfunctional
creating your own traditions that feel more aligned and peaceful
reinforcing boundaries with family members during the holidays
liberating yourself from burdensome family expectations and using the holidays as an opportunity to practice saying NO
ways to protect yourself energetically & physically if you choose to gather with family
You might find this resource helpful if you do get triggered at some point during the holidays. I created a guide on 10 Ways to Get Untriggered Quickly, which you can download here:
https://mailchi.mp/de778241c913/triggered-ep-21
I can't thank you enough for tuning in to this podcast... your presence makes it all worthwhile. I hope this episode supports you in having a peaceful, stress-free holiday season.

AWAKENING: How to bring your spiritual insights down to Earth
Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast
10/28/22 • 32 min
Recently, a listener of this podcast asked me an important question: how do we bring our insights and healing down to Earth, to share them with others? How do we embody our spiritual insights?
In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer this question and talk about:
- how to avoid using spirituality or spiritual tools (like the Akashic Records) as forms of escapism
- how to periodically review your spiritual insights and lessons, to see whether you're actually applying them in your life
- a personal story of how I've been applying a recent spiritual insight in my own life
- questions to help you come into greater integrity with yourself and your spiritual principles

TRIGGERED! When someone tells you how to live your life
Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast
09/18/21 • 22 min
Ever found yourself in a situation where someone tried to tell you how to live your life? Maybe they tried to tell you what you should eat, or what you shouldn't eat, or how you should speak or behave, or how you should raise your kids, or how you should dress. This can bring up all kinds of emotions and feel really triggering.
In this episode, I talk about:
how to deal with well-intentioned (or not so well-intentioned) people trying to tell you how to live
the importance of working through our own tendencies to tell others how to live (because we're not perfect either!)
how to deal with feelings of being judged or criticized
my personal story with veganism and how this created a rift in my family
the importance of releasing energetic hooks and cords connecting you to people who've tried to control or manipulate you
honoring our vulnerability and desire to avoid conflict as highly sensitive people
