Greetings, this is Coach Veronica Marie, and I'm here to help you live a healthier and happier life. You can find my books, teachings, and coaching at veronicamarie.com.

In this episode I explain the yogic concept of koshas—the five layers of being from the physical body to the bliss sheath—and show how the mind sheath (manomaya kosha) keeps us trapped by other people's opinions.

Learn a practical approach to evolving into the wisdom sheath so you stop being triggered by judgment, avoid ego-driven isolation, and cultivate true closeness and inner freedom.

Coach Veronica Marie explores what it means for a woman to live disconnected from her body — the coping patterns, trauma, shame, caretaking, and avoidance that lead to disembodiment.

She offers gentle guidance and reflection prompts to help you notice the paths that created the disconnect and begin reclaiming your body’s innate wisdom, emotions, desires, and needs.

This episode teaches embodiment — learning to feel and trust your inner why. It invites listeners to reflect on the reasons they joined the course, their hopes, and what they want to become. Through guided questions and reflection, the host encourages moving beyond conditioning to recognize which part of the self is guiding choices.

Listeners are given an assignment to answer four reflective questions and share their responses via the course app or journal, fostering connection and deeper self-understanding.

Coach Veronica Marie invites listeners to use the New Year as a meaningful cycle to begin intentionally, encouraging action even if you might stop — it’s better to start than not start at all.

She advises beginning with the end in mind, creating plans for obstacles, and offers one-on-one coaching at veronicamarie.com; her new book, Esoteric Shadow Work, is coming soon.

Coach Veronica Marie offers a short, uplifting guide to using New Year's resolutions as a powerful starting point for change. She walks listeners through reflection, identifying what to change, creating a SMART action plan, and integrating new outcomes into a sustainable way of being.

Coach Veronica Marie explains how to tell if someone is genuinely spiritual or simply uses spiritual language. She emphasizes watching everyday actions, listening to how they speak about themselves and others in hard times, and asking questions to gauge depth.

She recommends observing values, life purpose, and consistent behavior over time, listening more than talking, and not expecting a romantic partner to be your spiritual teacher. Let relationships develop naturally and look for spirituality lived out, not just described.

Coach Veronica Marie explains sacredness as a spiritual practice of seeing yourself and humanity through the eyes of the divine. She emphasizes deep shadow work, compassion, and integrating universal principles to create health, happiness, and wholeness.

Practical advice includes slowing down to notice your thoughts and choosing sacred ways of seeing rather than patterns that create suffering. For one-on-one support and e-books, visit veronicamarie.com.

Coach Veronica Marie explains intimacy as a soul-level exchange where each person is fully seen, accepted, and held — not merely activities, conversations, or disclosures.

She contrasts intimacy with transparency and vulnerability, noting intimacy is cultivated over time and happens when someone is present enough to hold another in their experience. Visit veronicamarie.com for more.
