    You’ve Got God All Wrong: A GodTalk Conversation with Neale Donald Walsch

    In this deeply meaningful episode of Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my spiritual path — Neale Donald Walsch. Author of Conversations with God and more than 40 books on contemporary spirituality, Neale joins me to explore his newest book, GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity’s Connection with a Higher Power. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like a sacred exchange — one that reminded me, again and again, that we are never as alone or disconnected as we sometimes believe. Together, we explore the powerful idea that we are all already in conversation with God — we’re simply calling it something else. Neale shares why it was so important to include real-life stories from people around the world in GodTalk, and how divine guidance often shows up in unexpected, even seemingly trivial ways. We dive into his six-step process for experiencing a two-way relationship with the Divine, unpacking themes of possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment — and how fear versus love is the ultimate compass. This episode is filled with wisdom, humour, and heart. From listening to the “tummy test,” to trusting feelings as the language of the soul, to Neale’s unforgettable moment on the Today Show when he distilled God’s message to humanity into five words — “You’ve got me all wrong” — this conversation invites us to soften, open, and listen more deeply. If you’ve ever wondered whether a personal, direct connection with the Divine is possible for you, this episode is a gentle (and joyful) reminder: the conversation is already happening. About Neale Donald Walsch Neale Donald Walsch has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity’s Connections with a Higher Power, a book in the Common Sentience book series. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world. https://nealedonaldwalsch.com Book Links to Buy GodTalk Amazon: https://amzn.to/3O0ud1c Barnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3KjN9pz About Anita Adams I’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

    When Awareness Melts the Ice: Transmuting Pain Through Presence

    In this episode, I share some of my deepened learnings around awareness, presence, and how emotional pain can become a powerful doorway to awakening. I explore what happens when sadness, frustration, or anger arise without a clear reason—and how easy it is to judge ourselves for feeling the way we do. For many years, I believed the way through these emotions was to analyze them, trace them back to their origins, and try to understand why they were there. While there is value in self-inquiry, I’ve come to realize that it’s not always necessary—and often not the most helpful place to begin. In this episode, I invite you into a gentler practice: acknowledging emotions as they arise, without analyzing, judging, or trying to fix them. Drawing on Eckhart Tolle’s teachings around presence and the pain body, I share how simple awareness can begin to transmute emotional pain—much like warmth melting ice. We explore: Why resistance keeps emotions stuckWhat true acceptance really means (and what it doesn’t)How presence creates the spaciousness needed for clarity and inspired actionWhy wisdom can only be accessed in the present moment If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions or unsure how to move through them, this episode offers a compassionate reminder: you don’t need to strive or fix anything. Awareness itself is enough to begin the shift. And it’s in that awareness—quiet, open, and present—where wisdom speaks.

    Presence: Where Inner Wisdom Speaks

    In this episode, we explore the difference between mindfulness and presence—and how true presence opens the space for inner wisdom to be heard. Learn how letting go of striving and simply arriving in the moment can reveal the quiet guidance that’s always within you. We’ll reflect on practical ways to cultivate presence in everyday life, and leave you with a gentle question to carry with you: As I move through my day, what changes when I choose presence over productivity—even for a few breaths?

    Returning to Presence

    In this short episode, I explore what it really means to return to presence. I share a recent synchronicity, along with a candid conversation from my spiritual writing practice, where I was reminded—more than once—to slow down, pay attention, and come back to the moment. If you’ve been feeling distracted or caught up in the “what ifs,” this gentle reminder may be exactly what you need too. Join me as I revisit the wisdom of being here, now, and reconnecting with the quiet guidance of the soul.

    When Life Gets Messy

I share my personal journey through the recent passing of my father — from relief and sadness to guilt and gratitude — and how staying curious about my feelings helped me navigate grief with more ease. I talk about the importance of nurturing ourselves, even in small ways, when life feels chaotic, and offer gentle guidance on reconnecting with your soul through simple daily practices. If you’re in the midst of life’s messiness, I invite you to join me and explore ways to stay grounded, present, and supported on your own joyful journey.

    The Cave, the Vision, and Mary Magdalene

    A few weeks before leading my first Camino Walk in France, I had an unexpected vision during meditation — Mary Magdalene appeared, standing at the entrance of a cave. I didn’t know why she came to me or what it meant, but that moment sent me on a journey of discovery. In this episode, I share the unfolding of that story: what I’ve learned about Mary Magdalene’s true teachings, the symbolism of the cave, and the beautiful parallels between her message and The Wisdom Way I now teach. Perhaps her appearance was a reminder — that the Divine has always lived within us.

    From Doctrine to Divine Within: A Spiritual Evolution with David Hulse

    In this deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with David Hulse, a gifted spiritual guide, healer, and teacher whose journey from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an expansive, love-centred spirituality is nothing short of remarkable. David shares how a profound awakening reshaped his understanding of God—from an external, judgmental figure to the divine presence within each of us—and how this realization bridges ancient wisdom with modern science. Together, we explore releasing inherited beliefs that no longer serve us, the transformative power of “I AM” consciousness, and what it means to move from a 3D material perspective to a 5D heart-centred way of living. This conversation is a call to lightworkers everywhere to embrace their role as co-creators in humanity’s awakening and a reminder that we are, at our core, love, light, and joy. About David Hulse David Hulse is a seasoned spiritual guide, minister, author, and healer whose journey from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an inclusive, love-centred spirituality bridges traditional doctrine with contemporary insight. A profound awakening early in his life reshaped his understanding of divinity and revealed humanity’s deep interconnectedness. As Founder and Spiritual Guide at the Academy for Spiritual Awakening, David blends wisdom from diverse traditions with modern science to inspire people to move beyond belief into direct experience of the divine within. His teachings challenge limiting dogmas, emphasize unconditional love and gnosis—direct knowledge from Source—and guide lightworkers through the shift from a 3D material world to a 5D heart-centred consciousness, empowering global spiritual evolution.
