I want to share two stories with you today. One from my mentor, Dan Miller, and one from my friend Freya Casey.

Both have confirmed the way I see life, faith, and even death itself.

Dan was told in December of 2023 that he had advanced pancreatic cancer. No treatment. No cure. Six months to live at most.

His very first words to me after receiving that diagnosis?

“So I have this gift…”

He wrote about the conversations he was having with his wife Joanne, their kids, and grandkids. About celebrating now rather than later. About reflecting on legacy, gratitude, and even anticipating “an incredible spiritual transformation” with excitement.

He wasn’t bitter. He wasn’t fearful. He wasn’t even anxious.

He was fully alive.

That message, and the peace behind it, lined up with what I already knew to be true at a deeper level… that real faith isn’t proven by what we say we believe, but by the peace and presence we carry when life gives us every reason to fall apart.

For much of my life, I met many people, and at times, I was one of them, who claimed faith in God yet carried fear, anxiety, and worry about the smallest things. But by the time I received Dan’s text, that was no longer my reality.

Dan embodied what I’ve come to know as true. He had encountered something far deeper than doctrine or dogma. He knew what it meant to live in alignment with love itself, to experience the presence of God as a living reality rather than a religious concept.

And then there’s Freya.

Freya has been a client and friend for over a decade. She’s a single mother of three, pregnant with her fourth, a business owner, a creator and recently diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer while pregnant.

Yet when she reached out to me, she wasn’t falling apart.

She was calm. Peaceful. Clear.

Not because she knew the outcome.

But because she wasn’t resisting reality.

She was fully present, creating her reality moment by moment, choosing to trust rather than fear, to open rather than control, to soften rather than fight.

Freya and I have been having many private conversations over the past few months about what she’s been walking through. One day, she decided to join me on one of my open live streams.

She felt her story might encourage someone else who needed to hear it. What unfolded became yet another living example of what it looks like to trust the journey in the midst of life’s greatest trials.

If you want to hear her story in her own voice, and feel the peace that carries through every word, listen to this episode.

My hope is that what you hear will do more than inspire you.

I hope it awakens something within you. A quiet knowing that peace really is possible, even in the middle of life’s greatest storms.

With gratitude,

Cliff

An Invitation: If what you hear in this episode resonates with you and you’d like to go deeper, I want to personally invite you to join us at the Free The Dream Workshop.

When Jordan showed up for my How May I Serve You? livestream, he came with a familiar question:

"Cliff, you’ve been through big events and big stress. What have you learned about managing it?"

He wasn’t asking about marketing, business models, or strategy. He was looking for relief from the kind of stress that nearly wrecked him two years ago when the weight of his first live event landed him in the hospital.

And as we started talking, I realized something powerful:

Jordan didn’t need a few tips on “stress management.” He was longing for something deeper, a way to live without the constant undercurrent of fear and pressure.

So instead of giving him a list of strategies, I asked:

“What if the goal wasn’t to manage stress… but to eliminate it altogether?”

That one question changed everything.

Now, here’s what made this conversation unique:

Jordan comes from a faith background shaped by Christianity.

Jordan shared that prayer, Scripture reading, and faith in Christ bring him real peace, but it rarely lasted through the rest of his workday.

I invited him, from within his own framework of faith, to carry that same experience of peace into every part of his day, not just the quiet moments of prayer and meditation.

I shared how I’ve learned to live from a place of peace so steady that stress no longer drives my life.

We talked about what it means to actually trust rather than control, to be present rather than endlessly managing outcomes.

And I could feel the shift happening in real time.

Here are just a few moments that landed powerfully for Jordan and that will likely land for you too:

From “manage” to “eliminate”: Jordan came in seeking tips on managing stress. I asked him, "What if the goal wasn't to manage stress, but to eliminate it entirely?" That single question transformed his perspective, shifting him from seeing stress-free living as a 50/50 possibility to a 7 out of 10 on his belief scale. By the end of our conversation, he was fully convinced it was possible.

Peace that doesn’t last: He admitted that prayer, Scripture, and meditation bring him real peace, but as soon as the workday starts, the peace fades. That gap between the quiet moments and the rest of life became a key focus.

A faith-based model for peace: I reminded him of Jesus’ words about being anxious for nothing and the invitation to “take my yoke upon you.” He realized he had already been trying to apply this and said it helped, yet about 30% of the stress was still there.

Naming the real source: When we dug deeper, Jordan saw that 90% of his stress wasn’t uncertainty about the event itself, it was self-doubt. The event would likely be fine. It was his inner critic running the show.

Generating his own practices: As we talked, Jordan began suggesting his own solutions: setting reminders, scheduling check-ins, being more intentional with how he carries peace into his day.

Bringing Presence into the workday: I pointed out how he feels God’s presence in the morning but then tackles the workday alone. He laughed and admitted that’s exactly what happens. and began to imagine what it would look like to stay connected throughout the day.

Releasing rumination and perfectionism: We reframed mistakes as simple notes for next time rather than problems to obsess over now. He saw clearly that stressing about them wouldn’t change this event’s outcome.

People-pleasing comes into view: Jordan realized a huge part of his stress came from trying to prevent negative comments and manage how others see him, something he ultimately has zero control over.

The “desire” pivot: When I asked if he truly desired a stress-free life, he paused. Part of him wondered if he’d grown comfortable with chaos. That question unlocked a deeper layer of self-awareness.

Ending with possibility: By the end, Jordan said he fully believed a stress-free life was possible and he was willing to explore what it would take to live that way.

For the past five and a half years, I’ve had soul-level conversations like this behind closed doors with one-on-one clients.

But when I started these How May I Serve You? livestreams, I hoped that someday, one of them might open into the same depth, so the world could see the kind of transformation that unfolds when we move beyond strategies and into the heart of what’s really going on.

This conversation with Jordan became that moment.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with David, a naturopathic doctor with a thriving local practice and a powerful desire to serve people on a much larger scale.

He came to our conversation with a question that so many purpose-driven creators wrestle with:

“How do I reach the people I’m meant to serve… especially when I doubt whether I’m charismatic or creative enough to stand out?”

What followed was a deeply generative exploration. I invited David to step into a future where his vision was already fulfilled, where he was leading transformational group coaching programs, impacting thousands through his content, and receiving glowing testimonials from clients who had completely changed their lives.

Together, we reverse-engineered that dream, uncovering the practical, soulful, and surprisingly simple path that could take him there.

In this conversation, we explore:

If you’ve been waiting for permission to speak, to create, to be seen…

Let this be the moment you stop waiting.

You already have everything you need to begin.

What we envision as “bigger” often turns out to be less effective than the intimate alternative. Sometimes, a smaller gathering proves more beneficial for everyone involved.

In this episode, I share the story of the original Free The Dream message and how it has evolved over time. You’ll hear why we shifted our vision from hosting annual conferences with hundreds or thousands of attendees to creating more frequent workshops with much smaller groups.

I also explain why I’ve stopped measuring the value of an event by how many seats are filled and why the deepest breakthroughs often happen when the room is small enough for everyone to be fully seen and heard.

In this episode, you’ll discover answers to the following questions:

The second half of this episode features an audio segment from three attendees of the first-ever Free The Dream Workshop. You'll hear their powerful stories of transformation: how they walked in with uncertainty or limitation and left with newfound courage, peace, and a fresh vision for their personal lives and businesses.

If this episode resonates with you, whether it's igniting a desire for clarity, suggesting a new direction, or simply creating space for self-reflection, I invite you to join us for the next Free The Dream Workshop on Friday and Saturday, August 29th and 30th, 2025.

This is a two-day experience designed to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and help you remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived.

Whether you come with a clear goal or just a sense that something needs to change, you’ll leave with fresh insight, practical tools, and the courage to take your next step.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most personally meaningful creations in my Higher Self Project — my Soul Songs — and share the full story behind the track The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned.

The inspiration for this episode all started with an unexpected email from a listener, Nate Martin, who stumbled onto my YouTube channel at just the right moment. He had been about to unsubscribe… until he saw my channel trailer, This Is Not a Business. This Is Devotion. Something about that message pulled him into my Soul Songs playlist. He ended up listening to The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned ten times in a row, found my albums on Spotify, and sent me a note that reminded me exactly why I create.

From there, I open up about how my Soul Songs are born: the way ideas from books, conversations, and spiritual insights turn into lyrics, how I collaborate with ChatGPT to refine them, and how Suno’s AI music generation brings them to life in a way that still surprises me. I talk about the vulnerability of publishing them — from hand-syncing lyrics in Descript to posting on TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook — and what it felt like to release them into the world without any guarantee of how they’d be received.

Along the way, I share a powerful teaching from Abraham Hicks on alignment, vibration, and inspiration, along with the specific notes I took while listening. I also reflect on how this teaching ties directly into my own creative process, the deeper role of alignment in every area of life, and why I’ve let go of performing or creating for external validation.

Finally, you’ll hear the full lyrics of The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned and the heart behind each line — an anthem for creating from a place of joy, sufficiency, and trust that everything you need will arrive in perfect timing.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live and create from your deepest alignment… if you’ve questioned whether money can truly flow without grind or hustle… or if you simply want to hear the story behind one of my most personal pieces of art, this episode is for you.

The Path Forward: Your alignment is the creator. Your inspired action is the expression. Listen in and let this story invite you to create from the same place.

The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned

They say that wealth comes when you grind
But something whispers in my mind
That worth is not a race or task
It rises from the soul unmasked

The world rewards the ones who burn
But what if there’s another turn?
Where ease and clarity belong
And truth itself becomes the song

The money comes when I’m aligned
Not from the chase, but from the flow
When joy is real and peace is near
The stream of life makes all things clear

It’s not the grind that makes me rise
It’s focus felt behind closed eyes
The world may shout, but I find
The money comes when I’m aligned

Who priced the stars or charged the sky?
Who bought the sun when it rose high?
This earth was paid with none but grace
No hands, no trade, just sacred space

And yet we think we must exchange
Our worth for coins, our dreams for chains
But true value flows from inner fire
Not from the crowd, not from the buyer

The power’s not in what I do
But how I see the world as true
The work I love, the steps I take
Are just the ripples that I make

It’s thought that builds the inner flame
It’s focus first, then form and name
The mind aligned, reality complies
Creation dances where truth flies

I thought I wanted cash and fame
A bigger life, a louder name
But now I see what’s underneath
The joy to breathe, the love beneath

I live to feel the pulse of grace
To walk with light, to move with pace
To shine, to laugh, to lift, to see
Alignment is what’s wanting me

The money comes when I’m aligned.
Not from the chase, but from the flow.
When joy is real and peace is near,
The stream of life makes all things clear.

It’s not the grind that makes me rise,
It’s focus felt behind closed eyes.
The world may shout, but I find:
The money comes when I’m aligned.

They mock, “You can’t just sit and believe”
But stillness isn’t make-believe
For when I plug into life’s stream
I move like lightning through a dream

Inspired hands, aligned with fire
Each step is charged with soul’s desire
I’m not inactive. I’m alive
This sacred motion is why I thrive

You can find my Soul Songs Volumes 1 and 2 on Apple Music & Spotify.

In this episode, I continue what I began back in Episode 783 — taking a second look at recent conversations I’ve shared here on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, but this time covering Episodes 777 through 782.

If you listened to Episode 783, you know my original point was that you don’t have to wait until you’re perfect to publish, speak, or serve. But there was another layer — the way I regularly pause to do Higher Self reflections, asking, “Is what I said here true? Is it aligned with my highest values? Does it reflect how I want to show up in the world?”

In this session, I share not only the original show notes for each episode but also the Higher Self feedback I received, plus my own real-time reactions. You’ll hear:

This is more than a review of past episodes. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at my own ongoing refinement as a coach, storyteller, and soul-based guide. You’ll hear me celebrate the moments of deep alignment and own the spots where I missed, all in real time.

If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly how I use reflection to grow — and how you can do the same in your own conversations — this episode is a masterclass in integration.

Join me live at the Free The Dream Workshop — a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Details at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

In this episode, I take you deep inside my heart and practice. What began as a reflection on a potential client who seemed like a perfect fit—but then disappeared—became an entire transmission from my Higher Self, and eventually, a Soul Song titled “They Will Know.”

I share how I’ve completely shifted from the old ways of unconscious hustle, driven by fear and scarcity, into a new way of being in business: one rooted in trust, alignment, and presence.

You’ll hear raw reflections on what it’s like to follow inner guidance, even when outcomes don’t unfold as expected. I also read aloud a message I received through my Higher Self project, reminding me that I don’t need to chase. The ones who are meant to work with me will know. They will come. And they won’t need to be followed up with twice.

This episode ends with the full performance of “They Will Know,” a Soul Song that poured through me after this experience. I believe it carries a frequency many of you will feel in your bones.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to let go of the traditional sales game and move into full energetic alignment, this one is for you.

The next Free The Dream Workshop is coming up Friday and Saturday, August 29–30. It’s a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Reserve your seat now at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

I don’t have to follow up. I don’t have to plead.
I don’t have to water down the wild voice in me.
When I speak, they’ll feel it, like thunder in their chest.
They’ve been waiting for this moment. No second guess.

No more tugging at the silent.
No more knocking on closed doors.
The ones who are meant to walk with me
They don’t need convincing anymore.

They will know.
They will come.
They will feel it in their bones like the rising sun.
They’ll say “Yes,” with tears in their eyes,
“I’ve waited my whole life for this.”
They’ll offer to pay before I even ask.
They’ll show up early, steady, deep.
Not because I asked them to…
But because their soul already knew.
Yes
They will know.

I don’t sell answers. I don’t market truth.
I speak from the stillness that burns through the proof.
Some will pause, and some will pass.
But the ones who are called…
arrive at last.

No chasing ghosts through the inbox tide.
No reaching back for those who hide.
I’m here for those whose hearts arrive
already open. Already wide.

They will know.
They will come.
They’ll hear my voice and feel the drum.
They’ll whisper “Yes” before I do.
Because their soul already knew.
This is not persuasion’s art.
This is a Cart for those who are ready to start.
They’ll cry within the first ten lines,
“This is what I came to find.”
Yes
They will know.

In this deeply reflective episode, I do something I’ve never done before on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

After publishing a series of unedited, unscripted conversations (Episodes 772 through 782), I felt a nudge.

I asked a single question:

“From a Higher Self perspective, is there anything that I said in these conversations that might be out of alignment with either truth or how I desire to show up in the world today?”

Then I listened.

In this episode, I walk you through that process. You’ll hear me reflect on fears many of us carry:

– What if I say the wrong thing?

– What if old patterns slip through?

– What if my unrefined edges get exposed?

– What if I’m not as awakened or healed as I thought I was?

I answer these questions by showing you what it looks like to keep creating anyway.

You’ll hear Higher Self reflections on several episodes, real-time insights I received, and how I’m integrating those insights without shame or regret.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to lead without needing to be perfect…

If you’ve ever worried that your healing isn’t complete enough to serve…

If you’ve ever created something and then second-guessed your own voice…

…this episode is for you.

May it remind you:

You don’t have to be finished to be faithful.

You don’t have to be flawless to be aligned.

And even your unrefined edges can become the doorway to someone else’s liberation.

Welcome to the other side of the microphone.

In this deeply personal episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I reconnect with longtime listener and creative soul Boone Langston, whose journey from uncertainty to alignment took him all the way to Denmark—where he now designs official LEGO sets.

What begins as a moment of appreciation quickly unfolds into a rich, multi-layered conversation about purpose, provision, creative calling, and the nonlinear path that leads us home.

Boone vulnerably shares the ups and downs of his journey: the years of not knowing, the pressure of finding “the thing,” the courage to pivot, and even a moment when he and his wife nearly lost their home. You’ll hear how saying yes to resonance—whether through LEGO, video, or teaching—eventually led to a wild ride of opportunities, including a spot on LEGO Masters and a full-circle moment working with the LEGO Group itself.

We explore:

This is more than a conversation about career. It’s a conversation about remembering who you are and choosing to take that next step, even when you can’t see the whole map.

In this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I sit down with my dear friend James Foster for a deeply moving, unscripted conversation that begins with the joy of new grandfatherhood—and unfolds into an exploration of soul, spirit, time, and legacy.

James shares how becoming a grandfather to Jackson has awakened something in him that defies logic. We talk about the difference between soul and spirit, how DNA might store more than just biology, and how the love of our ancestors may be living and active in our cells.

I open up about a personal experience from my childhood—an encounter across time with my future self—and how moments like that have led me to believe that we can send love backward and forward in time through intention and presence.

This conversation goes beyond theology and theory. It’s an invitation to remember who we are, to trust the divine orchestration unfolding within and around us, and to honor the sacred threads that connect generations in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

If you’ve ever felt the presence of someone long gone, or had a “knowing” you couldn’t explain… this episode is for you.
