    029. Awakening through the dark night of the soul – with Corey Marsh

    What if the most painful experience of your life is actually preparing you for something far greater than you’ve ever imagined? Today’s guest is someone whose incredible journey reminds us that there is a divine purpose to everything, even in long periods of darkness and turmoil. Corey Marsh is an entrepreneur, spiritual teacher and guide, energy and sound healer, and spiritual aspirant. He resides in Sandy, Utah with his wife and four kids. A profound spiritual awakening experience occurred on August 8, 2019 that shifted everything and put Corey on the path of self realization. Guided by divine inspiration, Corey aims to serve others with what he’s found, and play his part in this great awakening. He has been a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. In this episode, Corey shares the raw, honest story of his early struggles with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and a divorce that brought him down to his knees—and the moment of full surrender that led to a powerful, spontaneous spiritual awakening and realization of oneness. We also talk about the ongoing support for ACIM students that we offer through our online community In Light of the Course (ILC). We highlight the men’s group within ILC as a safe space for vulnerability, dismantling “man‑up” conditioning, and embodying the divine masculine. You will learn: * Shifting your experience of any situation through the power of surrender and gratitude * Making spiritual practice a daily habit through the workbook lessons of A Course In Miracles * How to create lifelines for yourself as you move through tough times * Trusting the process and seeing your challenges as a gift * How vulnerability and emotional honesty can accelerate healing, especially for men … and more! *** Are you an ACIM student looking to connect with like-minded individuals?

    Nine years ago, I was in a really dark place – struggling for years with depression, eating disorders, and chronic health challenges.

Thankfully I found my teacher Jennifer Hadley, who ended up changing my life by showing me how to actually forgive myself and let love lead the way.

She is the host of A Course in Miracles podcast since 2011.

    027. Creating safety for the body and soul – with Marielle School

    How do we find safety in our body, especially as empaths and sensitive types? Today’s guest is someone who has helped me see the body and the cycle of life and death in a completely new light. Marielle School is a light worker, a yoga instructor, a craniosacral therapist, a peer specialist in eating disorders, an artist, and a children’s book illustrator. She’s the author of It Matters Totally: Healing Food Addiction with A Course In Miracles which was a collaboration with Lisa Natoli. Through her work Marielle facilitates opportunities for healing, self care/self love practices and connection to our intuition. In this powerful episode Marielle shares about her personal healing journey, of recovering from a life-threatening eating disorder, immersing herself in yoga and ACIM, and guiding others as a healer and teacher. We also go into her mystical experiences of communicating with angels and beings in the afterworld, as well as holding space for her loved ones as they were passing over. This interview is jam-packed with profound insights about that can help shift our perspectives on the biggest challenges of life, particularly around eating disorders, addictions, sickness, and death. While there’s so much fear and judgment wrapped up around these subjects in our society, Marielle reminds us that everything is a part of our soul’s sacred journey, and that beyond the veil there are countless loving beings watching over us every step of the way. We talk about: * Yoga as a practice of creating a safe place for the soul to land and connecting with the Earth * Marielle’s journey with anorexia and the visitation from an angel that saved her life * The world you see is an out-picturing of an inward condition: How ACIM helped Marielle experience miracles with her raging alcoholic neighbor * Death as a sacred portal: Holding a frequency of love for the dying and communicating with souls in the afterworld * The surprising truth about eating disorders and Marielle’s unique approach to healing … and more!

    026. Neda Boin: Liberating your voice & soul with ACIM

    When is the last time you sang your heart out? When did you first learn to suppress your voice, to hold yourself back? Today, I sat with my dear friend Neda Boin to talk about the power of using the voice for emotional release and healing. Neda Boin is an award winning singer songwriter and voice liberator who uses music to remember and extend the love we truly are. Neda travels all around the globe to give retreats, workshops and healing concerts. Her work is deeply rooted in the non-dual teachings of A Course in Miracles. In this episode, Neda shares about her personal journey from a rising pop star to discovering ACIM and giving over her voice to Spirit. We go into the importance of giving space to your emotions, and how you can honor and release them through your voice. We also talked about her new album “Winds of Change” and the incredible transformations she’s been witnessing in her voice liberation workshops and retreats all over the world. I first met Neda several years ago at her concert in NYC. And I was blown away not only by her gorgeous voice but also the way she was really embodying the teachings of ACIM. Both her music and voice liberation workshops have been truly helpful to me in experiencing the Truth through the heart instead of the head, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this interview with you! We talk about: * From pop singer to healer: How ACIM transformed Neda’s music career * Voice liberation: releasing grievances and emotional blockages through your voice * Learning to put Spirit in charge and trusting your inner voice * A 3-second vocal practice that has been shown to reduce stress more effectively than meditation * Neda’s latest album “Winds of Change,” upcoming retreats, and the transformative power of group healing … and more!

    025. Reawakening your senses through art and nature – with Ulli Ulrike Gruenberg

    In a society where our sense of worth has long been tied to achievement and productivity, there’s now a collective longing to let go of the busy doing and simply be. The question is—how do we get there? Our guest today is here to guide us in making that shift with love and ease. Please welcome my dear friend Ulli Ulrike Gruenberg! Ulli Ulrike Gruenberg is an Artist, Psychologist, and women-centered Coach with expertise in trauma awareness, addiction recovery, and healing through art and nature. She teaches people how to invigorate their love for life and embody a deeper sense of being and emotional richness. In this episode, Ulli shares about her epic healing journey that took her through art school and psychology, through Europe and across the Atlantic, through parenthood and the “spiritual,” through developmental trauma recovery to the deeper knowing. She talks about how reawakening our senses and taking the time to commune with our surroundings can really help us develop a deeper sense of well-being and appreciation for the magic of life. This conversation really inspired me to take more pauses throughout my day and to really take in the beauty that’s all around me. If you, like me, have been feeling a longing for a deeper sense of connection to the world around you, this episode is for you! We talk about: * Ulli’s personal journey of growing up in Germany and finding healing in art, nature, trauma recovery, and the spiritual * How ACIM helped Ulli let go of guilt and embrace her innocence * Getting out of the “wellness trap” and finding space and stillness within * How aesthetic contemplation can help us let go of doing and step into being * Reawakening your senses and embracing the magic of being alive … and more!

    024. How to step into power when stuff hits the fan

    There’s a lot coming up right now in the collective – and for many of us, our personal lives. And it’s those times when sh*t hits the fan that it’s extra tempting to make it wrong and try to fight it, or to spiral into fear and powerlessness. In this episode, I talk about how to shift out of that victim mindset and open up to higher possibilities and solutions – even when things get really rough. The Truth is: you are actually more powerful than anything appears to be happening. Who you truly are is limitless and infinitely resourced. You’re already and forever one with Source. Life is happening for you, not to you. These are not just some inspiring quotes on a greeting card – they’re actually true! So what becomes possible when we start really living as if they’re true and stop making exceptions? I talk about: * Remembering your infinite nature no matter what the circumstance * Interrupting the fear loop with the sacred pause and breath * Asking expansive questions to shift out of victim mentality * How to consciously choose love, joy, and abundance even when it feels hard * Prayer for reclaiming our true power and abundance … and more!

    023. Light up your day with the power of your intentions

    Confession: There are times when I catch myself feeling pretty uninspired in my daily life, thinking things are “just OK.” The mind is constantly looking for something outside of me to bring excitement and fulfillment—a person, an opportunity, a vacation, etc.—and I’d find myself feeling empty again as soon as that thing comes and goes. Sound familiar? Today I’m sharing a powerful practice that can turn your day around from “blah” to “Wow!”—no matter what’s going on. And it’s as simple as setting an intention about what you’d like to receive. You can do this throughout the day, as you enter a space, meet someone, or begin an activity. And the best part is, it’s never too late: you always have the power to set a new intention and change your experience at any given moment. The more you play with this, the more it becomes a fun game! I talk about: * How the matrix of your life dynamically responds to your intentions * Real-life examples of how I turned around situations using my intentions * What you focus on expands: How your judgments and expectations limit what you receive * Softening the resistance to setting intentions and making conscious choices * Prayer for opening up to receive … and more!
