    The Secret to Finding Yourself? Letting Go of Who You Think You Are (Michael Schauch) – Episode 256, S2

    What if the answers you've been searching for aren't found by doing more, achieving more, or trying harder to become the person you think you're supposed to be? What if the secret to finding yourself is actually letting go? This conversation may completely change the way you think about yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world. Our guest, Michael Schauch, is an alpinist, explorer, Buddhist practitioner, and award-winning author who has spent much of his life exploring some of the most remote and breathtaking places on Earth. Along the way, he's discovered that the greatest journeys aren't necessarily about reaching the summit. They're about what we discover within ourselves. For the past 15 years, Mike has also mentored and supported Tibetan Buddhist youth in Kathmandu, Nepal, as well as young people in his home community in Canada. His newest book, Anatta: Heart of Wisdom, explores the Buddhist concept of anatta, often translated as "non-self." Now, before you think this means losing your identity or becoming someone else, it's actually about something much more freeing. Think about how much of your life is shaped by the stories you tell yourself. Who you are. What you believe. What you've accomplished. What others think of you. What you should be doing by now. What happens when you loosen your grip on those stories? And what if the feeling of separation that so many of us experience, from other people, from nature, and even from ourselves, isn't the whole truth? Through extraordinary experiences in the Himalaya, Buddhist teachings, and deeply personal stories, Mike helps us explore a different way of seeing ourselves and the world around us. We're talking about: What anatta, or "non-self," really means and why it matters in everyday life.How our attachment to identity, beliefs, and expectations can create suffering.Why nature, and especially the mountains, can help us reconnect with our deepest wisdom.How shifting our perspective can change the way we experience ourselves and others.The connection between Buddhist wisdom, compassion, and our sense of belonging.At a time when the world can feel increasingly divided, this conversation offers a beautiful reminder that we may be far more connected than we think. And perhaps the most powerful realization of all? You don't have to become someone else to be whole. There is so much to explore in this one. Let's get going!

    Soul Contracts, Spirit Messages + Healing: What Happens to Our Relationships After Death? (Lisa Nitzkin, Robyn Miller Brecker, Lisa Capretto, Noël Kehoe) - Episode 255, S2

    What if the relationships that challenge us the most are actually part of a much bigger soul plan? And what if we could find healing in those relationships, even after someone dies? This week, things get VERY personal. After losing her mom, Robyn had a reading with spiritual medium Lisa Nitzkin that took an unexpected turn. What started as an attempt to connect with her mom became an extraordinary experience involving a soul contract, automatic writing, and a message that changed how Robyn understood their complicated relationship. And it left us with SO. MANY. QUESTIONS. So we're bringing Lisa back to go deeper! Robyn is joined by Seeking Center team members Noel Kehoe and Lisa Capretto (we're missing Karen Loenser!) for an eye-opening conversation about what happens after we die, how our souls communicate, and whether our most challenging relationships might hold lessons we never imagined. Get ready to question what you think you know about life, death, love, and the connections that never really end. WHAT WE COVER Soul Contracts: Do we choose certain relationships before we're born, even the difficult ones?Automatic Writing: What is it, and how can it reveal messages from the other side?Our Human Selves vs. Our Higher Selves: Who are we actually connecting with during a mediumship reading?Life Reviews: What happens when we cross over, and how long does it take to process a lifetime?Healing Complicated Relationships: Can we find understanding and forgiveness after someone dies?Mediumship and Skepticism: How do we know when a message is real?Signs from Loved Ones: Are the synchronicities we experience more than coincidences?Grief, Transformation, and the possibility that our relationships continue beyond death.MORE FROM LISA NITZKIN Website: lisanitzkinmedium.com Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

    How to Reignite Your Spark + Live Your Big, Fat, Juicy Life (Stephanie James) - Episode 254

    What lights you up? When was the last time you actually stopped to ask yourself that question, and really listened to the answer? Somewhere between the responsibilities, expectations, challenges, and everyday demands of life, it's easy to lose touch with the part of ourselves that feels truly alive. But what if your inner spark hasn't gone anywhere? What if it's simply waiting for you to reconnect with it? We're talking with Stephanie James, psychotherapist, transformational coach, author, filmmaker, speaker, and spiritual seeker, about what it really means to live a life filled with more joy, meaning, connection, and possibility. Through her work and her own personal journey, Stephanie has discovered that reconnecting with ourselves doesn't necessarily require a dramatic life overhaul. In this conversation, Stephanie shares practical ways to navigate anxiety, release emotions that may be keeping us stuck, quiet the stories we tell ourselves, and make our own well-being a priority, without the guilt. She also takes us into some fascinating spiritual territory, sharing personal experiences that have shaped her understanding of life, death, and the possibility that our connections with the people we love continue beyond this physical world. And here's what we love most: Even though Stephanie explores some of life's biggest mysteries in her latest book, Your Big Fat Juicy Life, her message is ultimately about how we choose to live right now. In this episode, we're talking about: What your inner spark really isHow life's experiences, expectations, and limiting beliefs can disconnect us from our true selvesSimple breathing and heart-centered practices to help you reconnect with yourselfHow to move through anxiety and difficult emotions without letting them define youWhy prioritizing yourself isn't selfish, it's essentialThe stories we tell ourselves and how to recognize when they may no longer be trueStephanie's personal spiritual experiences and what they've taught her about life, death, and connectionWhat it actually means to live your own big, fat, juicy lifeMORE FROM STEPHANIE JAMES Visit www.stephaniejames.world to find out about working with Stephanie, her films, books and upcoming retreats.Listen to Stephanie's podcast Igniting the SparkCheck out Stephanie's book, Your Big, Fat, Juicy Life (And Everything After)Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

    The Courage to Change Your Path: Finding Purpose, Healing + the Real Meaning of Yoga (Hawah Kasat)

    What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to live? After spending two decades building an organization that helped thousands of young people heal trauma and break cycles of violence, humanitarian, educator, TEDx speaker, yogi and peace builder Hawah Kasat realized something big: his purpose hadn’t changed, but the way he was living it needed to. That realization led him toward an entirely new chapter…and a new vision for healing ourselves, our communities and even our relationship with the Earth. And then Hawah completely reframes something many of us think we understand: yoga. Spoiler: being flexible and doing downward dog is only a tiny piece of it. We’re talking about how to know when it’s time to change direction, the power of stillness and listening to your intuition, why we’re constantly searching for the “next thing” to make us happy—and what the ancient wisdom of yoga can teach us about finding contentment and ultimately freeing ourselves from suffering. This conversation may have you looking at your own path, and your yoga mat, very differently.

    October 2026 Astrology + Tarot Forecast: A Powerful Turning Point (Stevie Calista + Michelle Nolan) - Episode 252, S2

    October 2026 is bringing BIG energy, and for the first time, we’re bringing intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista and intuitive tarot therapist Michelle Nolan together to help us make sense of it all. As Stevie walks us through the astrology week by week, Michelle pulls cards in real time, and the way their messages align is kind of mind-blowing. This month is asking us to get honest about what’s no longer working, notice where we’ve outgrown old patterns and systems, and listen closely to what our intuition already knows. With Venus and Mercury retrogrades, Pluto showing up again and again, and some powerful Scorpio energy in the mix, October invites deep reflection, release and transformation. And underneath it all is one beautiful reminder: we are here to feel, to create, to connect, and to love our lives. Get ready for a powerful month of becoming even more of who you’re here to be.

    Simple Practices, Big Shifts: Stop Trying So Hard to Be Spiritual (Lizzi Cutler) - Episode 251, S2

    What if spirituality didn’t have to be another thing on your to-do list? You don’t need to meditate for 40 minutes, create the perfect morning ritual, build a full moon altar, or escape to a retreat to feel more connected to yourself and your intuition. This week, we’re welcoming back one of our soul sisters and trusted Seeking Center guides, Lizzi Cutler, for a conversation about making spirituality EASY, practical and part of your actual everyday life. Lizzi is a transformational coach and intuitive energy healing practitioner who helps people clear old beliefs, emotional blocks and stuck energy so they can move forward with more clarity, confidence and purpose. She also works with business leaders, bringing her intuitive abilities into spaces where you might not expect them, and helping people see what may not be obvious on paper. We’re talking about how to create small spiritual “micro-moments” throughout your day—while you’re working, parenting, driving, making decisions, dealing with difficult people…or completely losing your sh*t. Because those little moments matter. Lizzi shares how simply acknowledging an intuitive nudge, checking in with your energy or taking control of your breath can begin to change how you move through your day. Her own phone even reminds her every afternoon: “Feel good now.” Not because everything has to feel good—but because we can pause and ask ourselves whether there’s a tiny shift available to us in that moment. We also get into what happens when life DOESN’T feel good. Lizzi opens up about grief, insecurity, feeling powerless and those moments when we get sucked into our own stories. Instead of judging or immediately trying to escape those feelings, what if we allowed ourselves to experience the full spectrum of being human? Sometimes the pain is there because there has been so much love. Plus, we talk about bringing intuition and spirituality into the workplace, why so many people still feel like they have to hide this part of themselves professionally—and what could change if intuition became another valuable tool we brought to the table. This conversation is your reminder that spirituality doesn’t have to be complicated. Start small. Pay attention. Take a breath. Say thank you. Notice the sign. The magic may already be happening right in the middle of your everyday life. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN How to weave spirituality into your everyday life without making it a full-time jobWhy spiritual “micro-moments” can prepare you for the bigger moments in lifeA simple way to acknowledge your intuition—and strengthen your connection to itWhat Lizzi does when she catches herself spiraling or feeling like she’s “not enough”Why your breath can be one of the fastest ways to reconnect with your powerHow to find where you DO have control when life feels completely out of your controlA different way to look at grief, pain and the harder parts of the human experienceWhy we’re so quick to explain away signs and synchronicities—and what happens when we simply acknowledge themHow Lizzi is bringing intuition into business and helping leaders make more aligned decisionsWhy normalizing intuition and spirituality may change how the next generation approaches life and workMORE FROM LIZZI CUTLER Visit lizzicutler.com to learn more about working with Lizzi and explore her coaching, intuitive work and healing offerings.TONIGHT: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22- GROUP ENERGY ALIGNMENT : You lay back (on zoom, camera off) - Lizzi's clear the mental noise, the heaviness, and the ICK you’ve picked up from everyone else.

    How to Communicate Like a Buddhist + Stay Calm in Difficult Conversations (Cynthia Kane) - Video - Episode 250, S2

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation replaying every word you said—or didn’t say? Maybe you stayed quiet when you wanted to speak up, reacted in a way that surprised you, or wondered, Why is it so hard to say what I really mean? What if those moments aren’t really communication problems? What if they’re opportunities to understand yourself more deeply? This week, we’re talking with Cynthia Kane, bestselling author, mindfulness and meditation teacher, and communication expert who has helped more than 70,000 people communicate with more calm, clarity and compassion. Cynthia’s path to this work began after an unimaginable loss. As she searched for ways to move through her grief, she discovered meditation, mindfulness and the Buddhist principles of Right Speech, and began to see how changing the way she communicated with herself could change the way she experienced everything around her. HOW TO COMMUNICATE LIKE A BUDDHIST In this conversation, Cynthia helps us look at communication in an entirely different way. We talk about why the conversation happening inside your own head matters so much, how meditation can change the way you listen and respond, and what happens in your body when a difficult conversation triggers you. We also dive into the ideas behind Cynthia’s newest book, The Pause Principle: How to Keep Your Cool in Tough Situations, and how creating even a little space between what happens and how you react can completely shift a conversation. We talk about: How Buddhist principles can help us communicate more intentionallyWhy mindful communication starts with the way we talk to ourselvesThe connection between meditation and better communicationWhat happens when we’re triggered during a difficult conversationWhy pausing can help us access what we really want to sayHow difficult conversations can actually bring us closerThis is a conversation about communicating more authentically, staying connected to yourself when things get hard, and ultimately creating deeper connections with the people in your life.
