    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.

    Flawed and Worthy

    In this episode, I share a heartfelt story that emerged during a walk with a dear friend—one that invited me to take a deeper look at my own lingering doubts about worthiness. It’s a vulnerable reflection on what it means to fully accept ourselves in all our messy, beautiful humanness. I talk about the power of acknowledging, rather than suppressing, our emotions and how doing so allows us to stay aligned with who we’re here to be. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or wondered if you’re “enough,” this episode is for you.

    There is No Thunderclap

    There’s a deep wisdom that reveals itself when we walk in nature—especially when we give ourselves the time and space to walk long distances. In this episode, I share some of the powerful lessons I learned while leading a group of women on a 115 km trek along the Camino in southern France. This was more than a physical journey—it was a soulful one that reminded me of the importance of surrender, the value of discomfort, and the beauty of simply holding space for others. I also reflect on the parable of the moth and the cocoon, a story that perfectly illustrates why we need to struggle sometimes in order to grow.
