    326: Walking the Way of Compassion Imperfectly -From Trauma Triangle to Unity Consciousness

    It is the seemingly insignificant moments—the ones that on the surface aren't that big of a deal—that our emotions guide us to deepen. Not to pick on us, but ultimately to elevate us. That's where society has gotten both our humanity and our feelings all wrong. When spirituality teaches us that our humanity makes us weak or wrong, we miss the exact gift of being here: to embody the love we are, as we are, with compassion, so we can extend that same compassion to others. This is how we shift from trauma consciousness to unity consciousness. Join me as I share how I walked the way of compassion imperfectly, and how that allowed me to explore:  Why emotions are your most powerful ally in detecting when something "isn't right”The trauma patterns that has kept humanity locked in dysfunctional power struggles across all our relationshipsHow to use the friction of these times to fast-track your growth and embodiment of divinityWhat the Lord's Prayer reveals about the karmic loopHow to test your boundary-setting abilitiesThe elusive way the ego tries to keep ourselves hidden, especially as we spiritually grow As we navigate the transition from the Age of Darkness into the Age of Truth, every interaction becomes a mirror showing us where fear still drives us and where love can guide us instead. I believe so many of us chose to incarnate during this intense transition precisely because the darkness offers the fastest path to remembering we are love—IF we stop hiding the parts of ourselves we've judged as "not evolved enough." Your imperfect navigation of this human experience isn't a failure; it's the way of love being walked the best we can, with both compassion and awareness.

    325: Beyond the Fairy Tale - How to Build Relationships That Transform

    The measure of any relationship—whether with a partner or with our collective humanity—isn't the absence of challenges but how we move through them toward greater love. We're being called to recognize our power to co-create by addressing what needs to change while holding our vision for what love wants to become. This isn't about the misguided fairy tales that taught us to give our power away, but about reclaiming who we truly are by awakening to our truth, love, and power—not conceptually, but in how we show up every single day. Key Takeaways What it looks like to course-correct through the lens of unity consciousnessThe unexpected connection between personal relationships and our role as co-creators in societyHow masculine and feminine energies show up in daily acts of considerationThe common misunderstanding behind fairy tales: what we were actually meant to learn from Snow WhiteWhat happens when "I love you" expands from one person to everyone We have an opportunity to see the beauty and love within everyone—but first, we must see it within ourselves. The awakening we desire as a collective is guiding us to understand that we're not separate from those we disagree with. And because we are not separate, we know this truth: if we've been able to overcome the tyranny of our own egos, our society can do the same. The legacy we're weaving now isn't made of material things, self-righteousness, or fear—it's made of a love so profound that everything we've been taught to value suddenly seems small by comparison.

    Episode 324: From Scattered to Centered - How to Align Your Energy During Trying Times

    When life feels like it's pulling you in every direction — from family health crises to a world that seems to be spinning out of control — it's easy to let fear take the wheel. This is exactly when it's time to practice finding our center. Fear does exactly what it's designed to do: pull us away from our inner knowing and power. We will all experience this, especially during turbulent times. This is our moment to choose and embody our innate power of love, which is stronger than fear, by deepening the skillsets that bring us back to our hearts. Tune in, breathe deep, and let yourself be reminded of the love and purpose that have been inside you all along. Here are some of the main takeaways we'll be covering in this episode: Why feeling scattered is actually a signalWhat fear wants you to believe vs. the truthThe meaning behind the "As Above, So Below" framework and how it becomes a practical daily tool, not just a spiritual conceptHow your thoughts and prayers create energyThe powerful role your heart plays as the convergence point between your divinity and your humanityA beautifully simple grounding practice to bring yourself back to center when the world feels like too much Collectively, we are being called to see through our fears so that we can walk with focus and intention, aligned with the changes we are here to create together. This is a time when our actions are less about needing to be "big" and more about being aligned and inspired. There is a boldness that comes through when you consciously gather your energy — and it is unstoppable. This is your moment to step into the truth of who you are and let the love within you lead the way.

    323: The Psychology of Conscious Opposition - Being the Bridge that Unites

    We are experiencing BIG, unprecedented, and unpredictable energy right now, which is why so many feel angry, afraid, sad, and frustrated. As we recognize our emotions as energetic allies rather than enemies, we're being called to fundamentally transform the way we show up around what we oppose—not to be passive, but to be exponentially more effective. The dynamics of opposition we've inherited are rooted in dichotomies: us vs them, right vs wrong, good vs bad, moral vs immoral. The list goes on and on, and so does the struggle. This framework is built on winning—and it's exhausting, divisive, and ultimately unsustainable. We are being called to something far more challenging and courageous: to stop trying to win and instead support the evolution of the good within all of us. This requires us to be vulnerable enough to see how we're more similar than we realize, to examine our own shadows, and to honor the love we innately are—even when it feels risky to do so. What we are exploring in this episode: The subtle ways we may unknowingly deepen divisions while believing we're fighting for what's rightHow to use psychological insight to recognize and break free from narcissistic systems and collective gaslightingThe patterns of manipulation that have operated throughout millennia—and why they work so convincinglyThe innate power you can access to support genuine collective transformationWhy caring about injustice isn't enough—and what the more courageous step actually entailsHow to implement strategic consequences that create accountability without perpetuating the same divisive tactics we opposeThis isn't a new playbook. This is the elevated consciousness that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. embodied and shared with us, along with other visionaries who proved we can oppose harmful actions without becoming what we're opposing. I believe we are being called to turn MLK's dream into our lived reality—and it starts with cultivating a higher, more loving, and yes, more courageous consciousness that creates union where there's been division. Caring deeply about justice is the starting point—the growth edge is learning to embody that care in ways that foster genuine connection and lasting change. This means getting uncomfortable. It means examining where our own egos want to be right more than they want to be effective. It means extending our hand to those we oppose, not because their actions are acceptable, but because their hearts contain the same longing for belonging and purpose that ours do. As always, the transformation we seek in the world begins with the courage we cultivate within ourselves. Thank you for being one of the courageous ones who recognizes that the shadows within us all are calling to be addressed—not through spiritual bypassing or false niceties, but through the genuine challenge of staying human when we find ourselves in opposition to one another. This is how we become the bridge. This is how we see one another as one.

    322 Claim the Change You Came Here to Be

    Everything you've been working through internally—the patterns you've dismantled, the fears you've faced, the moments no one else could witness—has been preparing you for something much bigger than personal healing alone. This week's episode explores why your inner refinement has been building you into exactly the kind of change agent this pivotal moment in history requires. As the world shifts beneath our feet and AI blurs the lines between what's real and what's fabricated, we're being called back to the one thing that can't be replicated: the wisdom of our feeling hearts. What you'll discover: Why knowing yourself deeply is the most critical skill for navigating unprecedented changeThe surprising gift AI is offering usHow to channel reactive energy into purpose-filled action that creates real transformationThe paradigm shifts we are being called to embrace Why leaders who can "shadow dance" with all aspects of their humanity are the ones we'll trust moving forwardThe work you've done to clear your internal landscape to be true to your heart’s inner knowing is truly invaluable.  You are equipping yourself with an irreplaceable compass—one that maintains your willingness to feel, to stay awake, to have compassion for others, and to choose your heart over old programming again and again.  While the inner work you have done has been personal, it hasn’t just been for you.  Your presence is there to guide those around you as we collectively navigate what's next.

    321: The Power of Permitting Yourself NOT to be You

    Spiritually and physically, being in the depths of winter means going inward and tending to the seeds that will burst forth come spring. While this all sounds good and nice, what it actually feels like on the human level is being bone tired, unmotivated, and just not yourself. Recently, this showed up for me as choosing ice cream for dinner rather than my typical healthy fare. Immediately, my son's eyes lit up—and then mine did too. That's when I realized: there's a gift in not being yourself, in not following the rules you've made for yourself all the damn time. While I watched my ego wanting to jump in and judge that something was wrong with me, what I could witness instead was something actually very sacred happening when we give ourselves permission to not be our typical selves and really feel into what is right for us in the moment. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your "unproductive" days might be evidence of profound energetic shifts happening beneath your awarenessHow to witness rather than partake in the spiral the ego wants to take you on for not being the version of self you think you're supposed to beHow surrender becomes your way in to transformation rather than a sign of giving upA powerful question to uncover where your unconscious is still locked into old beliefsWhat it means to trust yourself first, before waiting for external signs to validate your pathThere is a power that you are gaining, as you can experience the unraveling of the old self.  Whether you realize it or not, you are building the skill and strength to become unattached.  The power in this, as old stories and ways of reacting fade away, is that you become freer, more open, and expressive as the real you.  This is your time to know and love yourself exactly as you are and celebrate who you are throughout the mystery of your life’s unfolding.  This is your invitation to stop resisting the season you're in, and honor the evolution of you!

    320 The Power of Selective Momentum: Move Forward Consciously and Stop Spinning Your Wheels

    We're in that peculiar space where everyone expects us to be back in full force, and you feel a restless energy wanting to break free. If you're experiencing agitation like you're about to burst—it’s because a new version of you wants to be set free.  Before you do, however, you will want to honor the tension within you, as it holds the insight you need to make this next year filled with a power that doesn’t burn you out.   This episode guides you on how to refine your energy into conscious, strategic momentum. The kind of energy that lights you up rather than expects more and more from you in a way that isn’t sustainable.  We are learning a new way to work with our power that aligns your body, mind, spirit, passion, and subconscious to co-create with the Universe rather than push against it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why acting from ego-driven frenzy leads to premature launches with costly complications (and what strategic refinement creates instead)How emotional alchemy helps you sort through ego impulses to access your soul's pure potential and directionThe framework for balancing empowered feminine receptivity with masculine focused forceThe common mistake in going for low hanging fruitHow to hit the bullseye of your dream, even if your target seems blurry or too far awayWhat it means to tend to the wholeness of your vision so the fullness of what you desire comes into fruition In the last episode (319), I shared how to dream the impossible dream and this episode is the next step, which is learning how to show up differently than who you once were. When you consciously concentrate your energy through emotional alchemy, you move from the exhausting cycle of doing-then-recovering to sustainable momentum on what truly matters to your soul. You create space for spontaneity, joy, and the ecstatic nature of life itself. When your arrow is aligned with universal timing and your deepest knowing, you'll release it with confidence—witnessing the magic of conscious co-creation unfold in your favor. Here's to your 2026—the end of spinning wheels and the beginning of selective momentum that actually moves your dreams from vision to form. Eyes Wide Open is for you if you want support to stop scattering your energy and become the conscious creator to illuminate the way forward for your dreams.

    319: Dream the Impossible Dream by Dreaming Beyond Who You Once Were

    The light has returned, and with it comes a profound invitation: to dream beyond the limitations of who you once were. After the deep courage required to navigate the darkness, you now stand at the threshold of celebration and possibility. The impossible dream isn't impossible at all. It is, however, guiding you to live differently than you did in the past. What You'll Discover: The critical distinction between your small self and the soul blueprint that's ready to express through you nowWhy what thrills you, honors you, and terrifies you simultaneously is the sign you're truly aliveHow to move from ego-driven "get to work" energy into the ease, flow, and divine downloads that come from going inwardThe practice of anchoring your truth without clinging—supporting what's growing within you with softness and trustWhy the union of your divinity and humanity feels both expansive to your essence and scary to your ego (and how to work with that tension)The world needs your impossible dream, the one that your soul blueprint has been whispering about all along. As you bury the beliefs of your past self and prepare for a new year, remember: your heart knows the way. Now is your time to believe and reach for what previously felt unreachable.  All that separates impossible from I’m possible is a space - the blank page you are now consciously honoring before you co-create your dream life.  If you would like support reinforcing your impossible dream, join my Emotional Alchemy of the Heart class for free at https://michellebersell.com/emotional-alchemy-of-the-heart/
