About this episode

The episode addresses questions about balancing spiritual callings and interrupting negative thought patterns, along with a guided meditation.

Today, our first letter comes from Yamil in Seattle, WA: Yamil feels called in two powerful directions—serving others through spiritual awakening alongside his wife, and expressing the music flowing through him. He asks how to honor both callings while balancing family life, responsibility, and timing. Our next letter comes from Amy in Boston, MA: After an upsetting incident, Amy finds herself stuck in a loop of replaying it and feeling like she's failed. She asks how to interrupt negative thought cycles and return to presence, peace, and self-compassion. Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation on expanding our awareness of the beauty, love, grace, and essence of God that is everywhere. ✨ What's your Life Question?
