Collective Guidance

What if your peace was never meant to be on loan? Yoga therapist and spiritual teacher Tina Mundelsee shares how she lived her own teachings after a 16-year relationship ended overnight, and how you can practice emotional independence too.

So many of us hand our peace to our partners, our kids, our boss, or our circumstances, and then wonder why we feel so tired. Tina is a holistic counselor, yoga therapist, hypnotherapist, trauma-informed coach and author who has spent more than 20 years teaching how the mind works. She has lived in seven countries and found the same human struggle everywhere: fear, attachment, comparison and not-enoughness.

In this episode, Charla and Tina talk about:

- Why the poses on the mat are only a tiny part of yoga

- A simple way to experience that you are not your mind

- Why yoga is a spirituality, not a religion

- The five koshas, an ancient map for when you feel overwhelmed, triggered or stuck

- Love vs. attachment, and why detachment means loving more, not less

- Treating pain as a messenger without spiritually bypassing it

- Why Tina doesn't ask anyone to forgive, and how she practices release instead

- "Don't react," the hardest teaching and the only one that works

- Shraddha, the Sanskrit word for faith and trust

Practice to try this week: The next time your mind says "I'm stressed" or "Why didn't they call?", answer back: "I'm a powerful soul. I'm peace, I'm love, I'm power."

Marvin Rolnick remembers dying in his past life, leaving his body, and choosing the life he's living now. In this episode of Collective Guidance, Charla talks with Marvin about out-of-body experiences, past life memories, A Course in Miracles, and why true forgiveness is the key to coming back to love.

Born in Brooklyn and a longtime California resident, Marvin is a Vietnam veteran who spent 30 years in the financial industry before becoming a speaker, comedian, writer, and spiritual guide. He shares the story of his death on a snowy December day in his last lifetime, his journey back to a body in Brooklyn, and the moment at two years old when he left his body and made a promise to find the answer to life.

Marvin opens up about the spiritual paths that shaped him, from positive mental attitude and meditation to Scientology, Religious Science, and A Course in Miracles. He explains the ego's hidden "dark mind," why change has to start within, and how inner guidance helps us see the light in others even when it's hard.

He also shares how his novel, Erasmus Joseph Lion, came to life: the story of a lion who no longer wants to kill, inspired by Jonathan Livingston Seagull and an unforgettable afternoon in a park during COVID.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- What an out-of-body experience feels like

- Remembering a past life death and choosing a new life

- The happiest moment of Marvin's life, at age two

- The reactive mind and how the past takes over the present

- What Scientology got right, and what it didn't

- A Course in Miracles, the ego, and inner guidance

- The story behind Erasmus Joseph Lion

- False forgiveness vs. true forgiveness

- Why "forgive but stay present" beats "forgive but don't forget"

- To give is to receive: why what you put out comes back to you

What is channeling, and can anyone do it? Channeler and author Greg Campisi joins Charla Goodnight to explore intuition, psychic ability, spiritual awakening, and how fear and trauma create energetic density that blocks your connection to spirit.

Two years ago, during a plant medicine ceremony with the intention "How do I release fear?", three hours of channeled material flowed through Greg. That began The Simple Truths of Existence, a series of channeled teachings, and his first book, Lighten Up! From Density to Freedom. Greg is the founder and director of Awaken: Center for Human Evolution, a nonprofit spiritual and holistic healing community in Plymouth Meeting, PA, outside Philadelphia.

In this episode:

- What channeling is and the different ways messages come through

- Why intuition isn't a "gift" and what blocks your natural abilities

- Solid, liquid, gas: how density and vibration shape your energy

- How judgment, fear, and criticism add density to your life

- Trauma as a black hole, energy vampires, and "passing on the pain"

- Moving out of victim mentality: life happens through you, not to you

- Why the people closest to us trigger us most

- Generational trauma and why your soul chose your family

- Waves of awakening since 2012 and 2020

- Creativity, creation, and ascension

- A closing channeled message for the collective

Most of us learned only two ways to deal with painful emotions: suppress them or explode. Both keep us stuck. In this episode, Charla sits down with Marty Simon, retired NYU professor, spiritual teacher, and author of "Spirituality for Effective Living: Teachings of the Masters Through an Unenlightened Disciple," to explore a third way: releasing emotions.

Marty explains how unprocessed emotions become energy blocks that get triggered by everyday events, why the exact same phone call can make one person furious and leave another unbothered, and how these blocks may drain our vitality as we age. He walks step by step through the releasing practice he learned from Mickey Singer, shares how he used it for four days after discovering his wife's affair, and offers a powerful reframe: the only thing any of us are truly afraid of is our own emotions.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- The difference between emotional pain and suffering

- What energy blocks are and why they cause overreactions

- Why suppressing and expressing emotions both fall short

- How to release emotions: relax the body, open the chest, witness

- Why "staying busy" makes grief harder

- The biggest mistake beginners make with this practice

- How gratitude dissolves resistance

- Why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns

- How emotional release can lead to a life with less fear

KEY QUOTE:

"Pain is natural. Suffering is optional."

What's the difference between being capable and having capacity? In this deeply personal conversation, licensed professional counselor and executive coach Dr. Cal Spinks explains why you can be highly skilled, successful, and "capable" — and still lose yourself completely in the process.

Dr. Cal shares his own story: growing up biracial in the projects of Central Illinois in 1968, developing an anxious attachment style, and spending decades as what he calls a "tugboat" — dragging other people's boats at the cost of his own peace. He walks us through his framework for identifying when you're operating from Fear, Obligation, or Guilt (the "FOG"), his personal practice of Head, Heart, Gut, Feet for making aligned decisions, and his journey into the Lukumi spiritual tradition, culminating in becoming a priest of the orisha Shango.

This episode covers:

- The real difference between capacity and capability

- How childhood experiences shape anxious attachment in adulthood

- The FOG framework: identifying Fear, Obligation, and Guilt as motivators

- Dr. Cal's path into African traditional spirituality (Lukumi/Ifa) and priesthood of Shango

- The Head, Heart, Gut, Feet method for distinguishing intuition from old trauma

- Shifting from a scarcity mindset to genuine abundance

- Why real growth is often about "unlearning" rather than learning

- The tugboat vs. lighthouse metaphor for healthy giving

- The science behind mental, emotional, and physical alignment
