Trauma Is Not The End Of The Story with Tom Glaser
Tom Glaser lived through an abusive childhood. It shaped him — until he looked inward, until he healed. Our bodies hold what happened to us. And we can still heal. We can learn resilience. It takes awareness and consciousness. It takes the courage to look inward, find your voice, and live an aligned life. Trauma is not the end of the story. It's a lifelong journey — toward a full heart. In this episode, Tom shares his own raw, lived experience — the foundation of his life's work helping others heal. His latest book, The House That Resilience Built, is a deep dive into trauma, resilience, and what it actually takes to heal. Tom is a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience helping people heal, grow, and reconnect with their innate resilience. He's also a lifelong meditator, a yoga teacher, and the author of two Amazon bestselling books. I hope this conversation moves you the way it moved me.

Living Fully for Today with Larkin McPhee
What does it mean to truly live when you're facing death? My guest today, Larkin, walked beside her brother Charles through his battle with ALS — and learned that death is just another doorway to walk through. Charles met his illness with a faith so deep it was palpable, and a zest for life that never dimmed, even as his body did. A lesson to all of us on how to walk through the next doorway. Larkin's new book, I'll See You in My Dreams, tells their story — a sister and brother finding meaning, humor, and grace inside the hardest goodbye. We talk about what he taught her, what she carried forward, and what it looks like to stay fully present with someone you love as they're dying. Larkin is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning documentary director, producer, and writer with over 30 years telling human stories — on mental health, the environment, science, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Her acclaimed PBS work includes Depression: Out of the Shadows, Dying to Be Thin, and Caring for Mom & Dad. She's built her career at NOVA, National Geographic EXPLORER, and Smithsonian World — and now she's turned the camera on her own family's story.

Growing Hope with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe
Hope isn't a feeling you wait for. It's a practice you build. My guest today, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explores the neuroscience, psychology, and resilience research behind hope — and why it may be the most underestimated skill we have. Dr. Robyne draws from her own story of childhood institutionalization and a near-death experience to show how hope can be held even in the hardest places. Her latest book, I Hope So, is born from her lived experience. We explore the relationship between hope and trust, and what it really means to grow more resilient — not by returning to who you were, but by becoming someone who can carry more. Grief changes us. It's not something we get over; it's something we learn to carry. And hope is how we learn to carry it. Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is an award-winning psychologist, education behaviorist, and two-time TEDx speaker with over 18 years of university teaching and research experience. She is known for making complex science feel personal and usable — delivering insight with both rigor and heart. What gives you life right now? What are you allowing yourself to hope for?

Where the Divine Finds Us
What does it mean to truly be here — not just in concept, but in body, breath, and presence? In this episode, Catherine explores the practice of returning: from the busy, chattering mind back to the stillness that lives beneath it. Using the simple anchor of the senses — what you see, hear, and feel right now — she guides listeners into the quiet truth that we are not our thoughts, but the space in which they arise. Woven through this reflection is a personal story: her 98-year-old mother's hospitalization, and the moment Catherine caught herself at the edge of fear — and chose a different path. One that could hold grief and hope at the same time. This is an episode about presence as practice, and about the deep, quiet knowing that arises when we stop thinking our way through life and start meeting it. You are the light. All is well. Even now. Even here. Tune in to Everyday Awakening and Subscribe on iTunes and leave a review to help others discover this transformative conversation.

We Are Not Alone with Jacob Cooper, LCSW
We can start anew every day, but are you truly living, or just going through the motions? What if you already knew what happens when we die?

Living on Purpose with Richard Leider
Purpose isn't something you find, it's something you practice. It lives beyond the self, functioning less like a destination and more like a verb that shapes how we move through each day. At its core, purpose is foundational to life itself, and unlocking it begins with a single, honest question: What is life asking of me now? The answer requires us to say yes to life, even when it's hard. Suffering, rather than something to escape, is a stimulus for awakening, one that invites us to become more reflective, to take more risks, and to remember that mattering matters. When we stop shrinking and start showing up fully, we step into the deeper truth that we are here to serve. A good life isn't complicated. It's living from the place you love, with the people you love, doing the work you love with purpose. Richard Leider is an internationally bestselling author of twelve books, including three bestsellers translated into 20 languages, and a pioneering voice in the global purpose movement whose PBS Special, The Power of Purpose, has reached millions across the U.S. Ranked by Forbes as one of the top five most respected coaches in the world, Richard is the founder of Inventure – The Purpose Company, a firm dedicated to helping individuals live, work, and lead on purpose. If you are wondering why you are here, what is life asking of me now, this episode is a must-listen.

Step into Divine Consciousness with Sebastian Siegel
In this soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Sebastian Siegel to explore the nature of consciousness and what it means to show up fully in your own life. Sebastian offers a reframe: consciousness isn't something we have — it's a resonance we inhabit. And in our deepest relationships, something greater moves through the other person toward us. Love, he suggests, isn't just a feeling — it's a living stream, a vehicle through which we fully encounter life. If you've ever felt the ache of moving through your days half-asleep, this episode is your invitation to wake up. Sebastian Siegel is a British-American director, author, and depth psychology therapist whose work sits at the intersection of art, story, and the human soul. He wrote, produced, and directed Grace & Grit, the acclaimed feature film adapted from Ken Wilber's true story. His 51-episode series The Eight Questions is streaming on YouTube, and his recent TEDx Pacific talk is well worth your time.
