Live Like Eden: Spiritual Awakening Unraveled episodes

October 21The Human Energy System: Patterns, Wavelengths & the Inner Computer
What do you do when an inner voice tells you something you don’t want to believe, and two weeks later it turns out to be true?
In this episode I talk about feeling energy as a normal form of communication, not a glitch nor a physical or mental health problem.
We look at three main things:
The Stigma and Silence Around Sensing Energy: How culture trains us to hand our inner computer over to outside authority figures and experts.

Energy as Wavelengths and Patterns: What a strong “yes” and strong “no” feel like in your body, whether you pick things up before or after they happen, and how to use the five W’s to trace the signal.

Simple Practice: Ways to notice the communication without making it complicated: pause, discern, stay open, and stop treating your own reception as a problem.
You already have the hardware. The work is adjusting the channel and learning the difference between signal and static.
Tune in now! Share it with someone who needs to hear that feeling energy and trusting your intuition is normal!

October 14The Healer's Path: It's Vertical, Not Linear with Donna Robson
What if a terminal diagnosis is not the whole story?
In 1996 Donna Robson’s dog Jamie was given three days to live. She chose to walk through an open door she didn’t understand and two years later he died in her arms at eighteen and a half. That refusal became the start of a life as a vibrational balancing therapist, aromatherapist, educator, and author.
For over 25 years, Donna has been helping people reconnect with themselves through holistic, energetic healing, greater awareness and consciousness, and natural healing products.
In this conversation we look at:
The Open Door: Love, not denial, as the thing that lets you leave the ordinary timeline and walk into something you don’t yet understand.

Healing as Transformation: Not a reframe of one picture, but a restructuring of the whole. Looking at information from a vertical (multi-focal) vantage point, not linear—not tunnel vision.

Energy as Movement: Feeling energy as waves and pattern recognition through a solid world. Why the body is already an intelligent system, and why women’s gifts have so often been labeled crazy and emotional.

Trusting the Feeling: How to know if a healer is legitimate, using automatic writing as a practice of flow and less control, and turning the same skills into everyday life.
Healing is not reserved for practitioners. It is the capacity to change your relationship with what is in front of you, and to transform your life.
Listen now, then share it with someone standing at the precipice of their own healing path.

October 07Addicted to the World: The Belief Underneath Every Craving
What if the addiction you judge in someone else is the same addiction sitting in yourself?
We hear the word “addict” and the mind makes a list: alcoholics, drug abusers, and sex addicts. The judgmental mind claims these people are ruining their lives and everyone around them. The ego steps onto its pedestal and states, “They can’t get it together, but I can.”
In this episode, let’s level the playing field. Whether we know it or not, we are all addicts. We are all addicted to the world of separation, to the mind’s obsessive thinking, and to the belief underneath every single craving.
Today we look at:
The cover story. The ego says the body is doing the using. It projects outside of itself, making the problem and the solution appear out in the world. Chocolate, energy drinks, cocktails, weed, or mindless scrolling are the same escape in a different costume.

The psychological view. Addiction begins with a pain. The mind wants relief, so it escapes into a desired substance, and a repetitive cycle is born. Unmet needs, trauma, and a fried nervous system look like the cause. Useful, and true on this therapeutic level. But is there a greater cause, beyond the separate self?

The Course in Miracles view. The original addiction is the belief that separation is real. Special love was never going to replace the love of God. Going back into the mind and forgiving the original error is where a true healing journey begins.
If something is running your life, get help in the world. The Course never asks you to deny a problem. It only asks you to see what the craving is covering up, so you can begin to undo the ego’s false belief system and return to real love.
Listen now, and share it with someone ready to see addiction in a new light.

September 30The Calmest Woman in the Room: Stress, Menopause & Vedic Meditation with Nic Monteforte
What if the drive that built your life is the same thing quietly breaking your body?
Nic Monteforte was the poster child of high achievement until it came crumbling down in five hours: a successful business, beautiful house, and retirement vanished. Then came a decade of hell, stacked surgeries, hormone collapse, and the last straw three days before Covid. She had been doing all the tactics. Nature, she says, kept turning up the volume until she learned Vedic meditation.
Nic is a former national executive, qualified Vedic meditation teacher, and high-performance coach with 30+ years in leadership. She is the creator of the Stress Debt Economy, the Infinite Capacity Formula, and the Menopause Stress Amplifier, and author of The Calmest Woman in the Room: Mastering Menopause Without Losing Your Mind or Your Edge.
In this conversation we talk about:
How unfinished stress cycles stack in the body like pancakes, and why an unpaid bill can register as a mountain lion.

Why most meditation asks the mind to do one more thing, and how Vedic meditation asks it to do nothing.

The menopause stress amplifier: estrogen as a brake on cortisol, and what happens when that brake leaves.

Simple ways to complete a stress cycle in 60 seconds. Plus why calm is not a luxury, it is the true meaning of performance.
If you have been pushing through and calling it strength, this one offers another operating system.
Listen now, then share it with someone who thinks they just need to try harder.

September 23The Ego's Amnesia: How to Live Here Without Forgetting Home
Do you ever feel like you’re not from here? Or maybe you feel like you’re missing something?

I felt that way as a child. A foreigner wandering the planet thinking nothing made any sense. I blended in on the outside but always felt like this world wasn’t my real home. It doesn’t take long and the ego jumps in and begins conditioning our minds to become vested in the world.

We learn the game of survival, and forget that original feeling might be our longing to remember Home.

This episode is about the ego’s amnesia: the trance that makes us forget who we are in God, then sends us on a scavenger hunt for the answer outside ourselves.

Today we look at five ways the mind keeps the amnesia in place, and how to undo them without leaving your life:
The belief in separation that keeps us running around like busy ants.
Projection: treating the world like a popular new Netflix series we have to solve.
Making everything personal and reinforcing our identity.
Grievances that turn love into “I’m right, you’re the bad guy.”
Special love and special hate, the ego’s doctorate in relationships.

The feeling that you don’t belong here isn’t a diagnosis. It’s the call to wake up. Spirit is already on the line.

You don’t have to check out of your life to pick it up. You can bridge the gap and bring the lighter, wiser Teacher into everyday life.

Listen now, then share it with someone who’s been feeling the call to see things differently.

September 16From the Quiet Center: Mindfulness, Forgiveness, & the Dream of Exile with Cristina Schmalisch
We’re home in God, dreaming of exile. That one line could undo a lifetime of spiritual confusion.

In this episode I’m joined by Cristina Sorrentino Schmalisch, Mindfulness Coach and Psychological Counselor. Cristina promotes acting locally through cultivating personal peace, which has global effects through our joined consciousness.

Cristina has been a student of A Course in Miracles since 2012 and writes a blog inspired by the Course, Living from the Quiet Center. In her professional roles, she helps people understand the power of the mind and connect with the calm center found at our core.

After years in psychology, social work, yoga, and a winding spiritual search, Gary Renard’s The Disappearance of the Universe opened the door to the Course. The conversation goes from practice to the places most spiritual talk won’t touch.We talk about:
How the Course found her, and why it is a hard path that still feels like recognition.
Non-judgment and why healing work only works when you stop doing it alone.
Level confusion: the difference between the New Age “we are powerful beings here” and being home in God while dreaming of exile.
The death of her dog, Wall-E, the holy instant, and what she calls the great missing: grief as a doorway back to oneness.

This is a tender, honest look at forgiveness, death, and learning to live with a dual awareness at once: the world of form, and the love that has never gone. Listen now!
