    AYP 125: Why Color is Medicine – Marina Fini

    ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ What if the most radical thing you could do is refuse to be defined by your age, your losses, or anyone else's judgment?  In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with Marina Fini — immersive experiential artist, color healer, DJ, jewelry designer, and founder of Rainbow Bath House — for a conversation that swings between glitter parties and grief, between blue aliens and burned-down warehouses.  Marina opens up about the rave at 17 that rewired her nervous system, the fashion-and-film-industry rejection that made her suppress her true self for over a decade, and the moment her beloved warehouse installation dissolved right in front of her — financially and spiritually. She talks candidly about sobriety, trauma loops, and how she used to disassociate because she didn't feel safe in her own body. Then she shows exactly how she rebuilt: through Kriya Yoga, mantra, color therapy, and two alter-ego "higher self" characters — Alienatrix and Cyberus — who help her channel courage when her own runs out.  This is an episode about age, ego, and armor. About why purpose isn't a deadline you're failing to hit, and why the wildest costume you'll ever wear might be your actual undefended self. ✦ Enter the Lab ✦ 📚 Browse the research, books, tools + resources: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/awakenyourpurposepodcast 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

    AYP 124: The Art of Making People Feel Seen - Karl Mullings

    Karl Mullings - Photographer, Storyteller, US Veteran ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ What if the thing you doubted you were good enough for is exactly what you were made for?  In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, host Zenka Caro sits down with Karl Mullings, a professional photographer who has spent 25 years in northern Arizona capturing people at their most real — seniors, athletes, families, and now a project honoring women's stories. Karl shares his journey from getting in trouble at Catholic school until a box of flash cubes from his mom changed everything to 15 years as a U.S. Marine, a divorce that made him quit photography entirely, and the mentors — including one paid in Happy Meals — who pushed him back into his craft. Along the way: an unexpected call from TLC to shoot Sister Wives, and his growing project to photograph 31 women in 31 days, honoring the mother who believed in him before he believed in himself. This conversation explores mentorship, legacy, and the quiet discipline of trusting your gift before anyone else does. Karl explains how purpose rarely arrives as a five-year plan — sometimes it's a nun smiling at a photo you handed her, a nervous senior portrait subject finally relaxing, or just saying hello to a fellow veteran on the street. Living your purpose may be less about proving your talent and more about showing up with it, again and again, until you believe it yourself.   ✦ Enter the Lab ✦   📚 Browse the research, books, tools + resources: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/awakenyourpurposepodcast 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

    Absolutely — here it is cleaned up and formatted so you can copy and paste directly into a podcast/video description. Awaken Your Purpose Podcast — Lori Creevay     Lori Creevay | Psychic Medium, Conscious Channel, Teacher, and Mentor What if psychic ability is not rare, strange, or reserved for a chosen few? What if it is one of the most natural things about being human? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Lori Creevay, a comedian turned psychic medium and conscious channel whose life changed after a near-death experience opened the door to spirit guides, channeling, and a lifelong path of intuitive service.

She explains that psychic ability is not a circus trick or something outside of ordinary life. It is a guidance system, a roadmap, and a natural human capacity that many people are already using without realizing it. This episode explores: Near-death experience Conscious channeling Spirit guides Psychic development Medical intuition Sobriety Soul purpose Free will Indigenous wisdom Intuition and synchronicity Living from your true north Discovering what you were made for Lori reminds us that the door to purpose often opens through stillness, practice, courage, and the willingness to ask: What was I made for? ✦ ABOUT LORI CREEVAY ✦ Lori Creevy is a psychic medium, conscious channel, teacher, mentor, and intuitive guide.

She went on to become one of the nation’s first women sportswriters before building a highly successful media relations career with a world-class client list.

In this conversation, Jackie reflects on purpose as something that changes shape across a lifetime. The deeper thread remains, but the container evolves. She talks about writing as her core gift, service as the through-line of her work, the role of divine guidance, and how she has learned to recognize when the universe is redirecting her. When something becomes too forced, too blocked, or too heavy, Jackie sees that as a signal to step back and ask: where is the energy pointing me now? This episode is about purpose, prosperity, service, conscious creation, divine redirection, and learning to follow the path that keeps unfolding. ✦ About Jackie Lapin ✦ Jackie Lapin is the founder of The Conscious Companies, including Conscious Media Relations.

    Ep. 121: The Quantum Energy Device That Changes Everything - Hunter Bjork

    The Quantum Energy Device That Changes Everything - Hunter Bjork What if clean energy could be always on, decentralized, scalable, quiet, fuel-free, and available where people actually need it? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Hunter Bjork, founder, CEO, and chairman of ISA Energy, about the quantum energy technology his team has spent nearly a decade developing. Hunter shares the story behind ISA, the purpose that carried him through ten years of experimentation, and the moment a business coach asked him a question he could not answer: Can you tell me what your life’s purpose is in one sentence and make me believe it? That question eventually led Hunter to define his purpose as helping secure humanity’s best probable future. From there, energy became the lever. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

The answer: be always on, decentralized, scalable, affordable, clean, and built from materials that can actually be manufactured. Hunter describes ISA’s work with electromagnetic fields, toroidal fields, magnetic reactions, the quantum field, and the possibility of generating usable electrical power from energy that exists around us but is not normally visible or easy to measure. He also shares how the company moved from stealth mode into public education after years of experiments, trial and error, blown circuits, independent validation, patents, and the long process of turning frontier physics into a usable product. This episode is about energy technology, purpose as fuel, why purpose is stronger than passion or motivation, and why the things once called impossible may simply be waiting for the people willing to stay with them long enough. ✦ About Hunter Bjork ✦ Hunter Bjork is the founder, CEO, and chairman of ISA Energy, PBC. ISA was founded in 2016 with a mission to develop technologies that help secure humanity’s best probable future.

Jason shares how his early years as a teacher helped him understand that purpose is not only about what we do. It is about why we do it.

    AYP 119: Crew Members of Spaceship Earth - Frank White

    Frank White | Author of The Overview Effect and Space Philosopher What if we stopped seeing ourselves as passengers—and remembered that we are all crew members of Spaceship Earth? Frank White coined the term “the Overview Effect” to describe the profound shift in awareness astronauts often experience when they see Earth from space: one interconnected living system without visible borders or boundaries. In this episode, interviewed by Yasmine El Baggari, Frank shares the moment that inspired his groundbreaking work, what he learned from interviewing astronauts, and why it took decades for his vision to reach a worldwide audience. Together, they explore purpose, persistence, borders, environmental responsibility, space travel, and the expanded perspective humanity may need to address our greatest challenges. Frank also shares the movement to send him to space—and why living your purpose may inspire others to discover their own. We are not passengers on this planet. We are crew members—and every crew member has a role.

    AYP 118: The Courage to Choose Yourself - Sara Roccisano

    Sara Roccisano | Author, Speaker, World Traveler, and Founder of Embolden Adventures Sara left a 20+ year career in Wall Street and corporate America to follow a path of purpose, courage, travel, writing, and spiritual awakening. In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark speaks with Sara Roccisano about the moment a breaking point in her Manhattan apartment became the beginning of an entirely new life. Without a perfect plan, Sara sold her apartment, walked away from the career that looked impressive on paper, and began writing the book that would become part of her larger Embolden Adventures series. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz Found your purpose?

Her work through Embolden Adventures is for the seeker who knows something has to change and is ready to rise after the breakdown. Sara’s upcoming book, Stone Temple Passport: Awake and Radiate with Mama Ayahuasca, begins a larger series exploring surrender, adventure, healing, and personal awakening. At the heart of this episode is a simple but fierce message: you have to want your life back. No one else can choose it for you. Sara talks about listening to the inner voice, trusting higher power, working with plant medicine, grounding in nature, and learning to see life as a hero’s journey. She also shares why living your purpose can ripple outward simply by standing in your truth. This episode is about courage, self-trust, travel, surrender, spiritual awakening, and choosing yourself before life forces the choice for you. ✦ About Sara Roccisano ✦ Sara Roccisano is an author, speaker, world traveler, and founder of Embolden Adventures, a platform created to encourage personal, professional, and spiritual growth through story, adventure, and courageous self-discovery.
