    What Are We Really Seeking?

    A lot of people might say they're seeking happiness, peace, success, comfort...but there is one thing that lies underneath all of these which I believe is the one thing we're really, truly seeking. It might even give us the answers to why we're here and what the meaning of life is. Join me in the conversation and contemplation of what we're really seeking in life. Let's talk about soul. Let's get into what this all means. And let's look at why so many of us are burnt out. Tune in for more... Loving you from afar, Corinne Enjoying this podcast?

Summary Corinne Blum has just finished three days of silence, and she uses it to ask what people are really seeking. Her answer is that it isn't happiness or peace on their own. People are seeking themselves, a feeling of "home" within. She explains why burnout isn't a personal defect, why shame and judgment keep us from that inner home, and how to start walking back to it. Key Topics and Takeaways Silence as recharging. Corinne spends a day without talking, phone or stimulation. For her it's bliss and a way to refill.Burnout and the seasons. In the cooler, darker months our energy naturally turns inward. Society still expects the same pace, so burnout follows."Nothing is wrong with your nervous system." Your body is wise and is flagging an unhealthy environment. The defect is society, not you.What we're really seeking. Happiness, peace and love all depend on a healthy relationship with ourselves. We're seeking the truth of who we are.Home is within. Home is the feeling of relief, of not needing to try. External "homes" only get us so close.Life as experience. Corinne's view is that the soul comes to Earth to gather experience, like traveling away from your hometown. Seeing events as neutral experiences, not good or bad, lets us weave a richer "tapestry."Shame and judgment create the distance. Childhood beliefs like "I'm not good enough" keep us from turning inward.The hero's and heroine's journeys. We over-index on proving ourselves externally. We also need the inward journey of integrating what we learned and returning to ourselves.How to start:Make time to be still and listen.Look at your shame, fear and judgment with compassion and patience.Aim to judge yourself less and less.Keep returning to love: "Just be love."Closing invitation. You can still play the game of life, but awake, "like lucid dreaming." The obstacle is the way.

    You Don't Have To Fit In: It's Ok To Be The Black Sheep & Be Different

    I never really fit in. I haven't done anything in my life the mainstream way, the step 1, step 2, step 3 kind of way. I certainly didn't follow any formula and we all know that life doesn't come with a manual, right? What if life didn't need a formula? What if the formula was to be who you truly are? What if being different is a great thing because it means you're that much closer to being and living your unique Soul Self? In this episode I share a few of my personal experiences being "different" and how it felt like a greater risk for me to conform than to be my Authentic Self. I invite you onto this journey of discovering who you truly are when you're not trying to please others. Because when you take away the cookie-cutter mold, who are you, really? Tune in for more...

    Integration: The Missing Link

    In the "self-improvement" world, it's easy to get into the never-ending self-repair project. But you're not something broken that needs fixing. Instead, you're an ever-evolving being that is looking to grow. Sometimes, yes, that growth happens through healing. Through experience that sometimes launches us forwards and sometimes appears to set us back. But evolution is at the core of our soul's incentive for having this human experience. But there's often a very big missing link: Integration. What a lack of integration can mean is anything from carrying baggage over to the next relationship, to at it's worst, acts of violence taken out upon others. In this episode, I talk about why integration matters so much, why we often over look it and implement it in practical terms. Stay tuned for more...

    Stop Outsourcing Your Wisdom: Spiritual Sovereignty in the Age of Aquarius

    We're moving out of the age of Pisces where the group follows the guru, the teacher, the organisation, and into the age of Aquarius where the individual becomes sovereign, trusting and sourcing their own wisdom and connection to Source through themselves. It's a great time of empowerment. Of reigniting our gifts. Of returning to our incredible, natural design as both human and divine beings. In this episode, I talk about how to stop outsourcing your wisdom and how to 'insource' it, instead. Learn the things that might pull you away from your sovereignty, the spiritual red flags if you will, and what the voice of your soul sounds like. Tune in for more...

    Communicating With Your Soul & Intuition Requires An Open Heart

    A lot of people want to connect with their intuition, and intuition is really just having a conversation with your soul. But the only way to get through, with a clear channel to both hear and respond, is through the heart. If the heart is closed, hardened or in defence, it becomes very difficult to hear and communicate with your soul and our intuition. So the invitation is, how do we have a soft heart in a hardened world? In this episode, I talk about the importance of humility, of having a soft and open heart that can still be discerning and incredibly powerful, and how awareness leads us there. Tune in for more...

    The 3 Levels Of Awareness & Living A Soul Embodied Life

    Growing awareness isn't so we can be spiritually superior. It's so we can be free. Without awareness, we're at the mercy of reaction. The sometimes messy, instinctual, animal brain. The tail wagging the dog, when it comes to our emotions. And much of our lives are driven by stories. In this episode, I talk about the three levels of awareness to broaden our perspective and clear the lens through which we see life. I also incorporate how to live from our embodied Soul Self. To create that space that comes in when we see our experience through both our Soul Self, and our Human Self. Tune in for more... Loving you from afar, Corinne Enjoying this podcast?

    The Faith Factor: How It Took Me 3 Years To Find Home

    Hello beautiful people! It's been several months since I've been here, as I have been changing my entire life around. So, thank you for your patience and thank you for returning and being back in this space with me. In this episode, I talk about my journey of finding home over the past three years. Of how 'faith,' not in a biblical religious sense but in a trusting of being held and guided by a greater force, got me through the difficult times. It has been a journey of metamorphosis. Of alchemy. Of trusting. Of letting go. Of giving up and holding onto Faith, again and again and again. It's sprinkled with magical moments. With moments of real, raw humanness. With the wisdom that comes when we "live life forwards but understand it backwards." Journey with me and know that if you are in that liminal, transitional space too, and you feel like there is no end in sight, you're not alone. It gets beautiful even if right now it might seem brutal. It gets beautiful. Follow your heart. Let it be your north star. Let go. Trust. Know that you are always, always connected, held, guided and loved by that which is our true HOME. Loving you from afar, Corinne Enjoying this podcast?

    Living From Your Soul: with guided meditation

    It's easy to zoom so far in that we live, see, perceive only from and through our minds. The lens narrows and life becomes a task that requires figuring out, rather than an experience that invites us to simply receive. In this episode, I talk about how to live from your Soul Self. How to open the aperture from living a pinpointed logical life, to a more expansive life of receptivity, intuition and ease. First half is the talking, the second half in the meditation should you wish you follow and dip your toes into the essence of your Soul! Loving you from afar, Corinne Enjoying this podcast?
