What really is a narcissist? And what if understanding what’s happening beneath the surface could change the way you see your relationship with them?

In this episode of What’s the Universe Say About That?, Mike and Mary explore the often confusing and painful dynamics of narcissistic relationships, including what may really be happening within the narcissist and why they behave the way they do.

The Universe offers a surprising perspective that can shift the way you see these relationships. Rather than focusing only on how to protect yourself from a narcissist, Mike and Mary explore what these relationships can teach us about our own power, our choices, and our ability to find peace within ourselves.

Whether the relationship is with a partner, family member, friend, or coworker, this episode offers a compassionate new way of looking at narcissism, one that may help you understand the other person while also seeing yourself and your own agency more clearly.

In this episode of What's the Universe Say About That?, Mike and Mary explore a question that affects every one of us:

Are we meant to be emotionally controlled by our circumstances?

It's easy to believe that our happiness depends on what happens around us. A good day lifts us up. A difficult conversation, unexpected setback, or stressful situation sends us crashing back down.

But the Universe offers a different perspective—one rooted in inner peace, emotional balance, and a deep feeling of steadiness.

Together, they explore why so many of us find ourselves riding an emotional rollercoaster and how we can begin living with greater peace, regardless of what's happening around us.

If you've been longing for more emotional balance, greater peace in your daily life, or a way to feel steady even when life feels uncertain, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a comforting path forward.

In this episode, you'll discover a new perspective on emotional resilience, inner peace, happiness, and finding calm no matter what life brings.

In this episode of What’s the Universe Say About That?, Mary and Mike explore one of the biggest sources of anxiety in modern life: living everywhere except the present moment.

So much of our mental energy is spent worrying about the future or replaying the past that we miss the only moment we truly have—the now.

Why is being present so important? And how do we actually quiet the constant mental pull between what already happened and what might happen next?

The guidance the Universe shares is practical, calming, and deeply grounding, offering simple tools to help reclaim your focus, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with the peace available in the present moment.

If your mind has been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or stuck in overthinking, this episode may be the reset you need.

Science explains the physical world around us. But where does spirituality fit in?

In this episode of What’s the Universe Say About That?, Mary and Mike explore one of today’s most fascinating questions: Are science and spirituality truly in conflict, or are they simply different ways of understanding reality?

What begins as a philosophical conversation quickly becomes something far more personal and practical. The guidance that comes through offers a grounded, comforting perspective on how to navigate life with greater peace, trust, and confidence, especially in a world that often makes us feel like we have to choose between logic and intuition.

Rather than debating science versus spirituality, this conversation explores how the physical and non-physical may work together more than we realize, and what that understanding can teach us about living with greater balance, clarity, and ease.

Whether you naturally lean toward science, spirituality, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you into a thoughtful and uplifting conversation about the seen and unseen parts of life and the deeper connection between them.

In this episode of What's the Universe Say About That?, we explore a challenge almost everyone faces: how to find peace in the middle of a busy, demanding life.

We're often told to slow down, meditate, or practice mindfulness—but what happens when your schedule feels too full to make space for any of that?

We asked the Universe a simple, practical question:
 How do we experience peace when life is pulling us in different directions?

If you've ever felt like peace is something you don't have time for, or you'll get to "someday," or if you're simply tired of feeling like you have to choose between your peace and everything on your to-do list, this episode is for you.

Why do we talk ourselves out of what we know is right?

In this episode of What’s the Universe Say About That?, we explore why we doubt our intuition and how to build deeper trust in our inner guidance.

We asked the Universe why we so often override our instincts, even when they feel clear. The answer revealed that what we experience as doubt is often the mind trying to protect us from the unfamiliar, even when it’s precisely the unfamiliar that holds our growth.

If you’ve been questioning your inner voice or hesitating to follow through on what feels right, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a deeper understanding of what’s really happening.

We all wonder, or worry, about what the future holds for us. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could know what’s coming ahead of time?

In this episode, we asked whether the Universe has a specific plan for each of us and, if so, whether there is any way to know what lies ahead. In other words, can we, or the Universe, actually predict our future?
 
 The wisdom we received led to a rich conversation about why each of us is here in this life experience in the first place, and how much of our path is already set versus chosen by us along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered about destiny, free will, or whether your life is unfolding “as it should,” this episode offers a refreshing, clarifying perspective that may help you see your journey in a whole new way.
