In this conversation, I reflect on grief, healing, and the process of writing. Kris Carr shares her experience of writing through difficult emotions and the cathartic nature of that journey. We discuss the importance of embracing raw emotions, personal transformation, and how grief opens us up to deeper connections.

I invite you to join me in a sacred space where we can explore the depths of your heart and soul. Together, we'll embrace the challenges that arise as beautiful opportunities for growth. Let’s unveil your true essence and step into the radiant power that resides within you.

I EXPLORE THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LIFE’S INITIATIONS I reflect on the sacred initiations of birth and death, inviting us to explore the profound mysteries that connect us all. As we navigate our unique soul journeys, we are beckoned to embrace change. By saying yes to transformation, we open ourselves to a deeper flow of life force, enriching our hearts and lives with the essence of our true selves

In this episode I explore the dark night of the soul.   I dive deep into the often-overlooked side of spiritual awakening—The Descent. I explore how confronting shadows, ancestral wounds, and navigating the Dark Night of the Soul can lead to profound healing and transformation. Join me as I guide you through the challenging yet rewarding path to rebirth.

In this episode... I EXPLORE THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING PROCESS From my own personal experience and through witnessing countless others on their spiritual journeys, I explore the awakening process and how it unfolds through the mind, heart, and body. This transformative journey is cyclical, involving expansion and contraction. I also share my personal Kundalini awakening experiences and explain the following stage: the descent, often known as the "dark night of the soul."

I SHARE A POEM CALLED RISE SISTER RISE. Rise Sister Rise is from my second book of the same title.  The poem "Rise Sister Rise" is a powerful call to action, encouraging resilience and inner strength in the face of life's challenges and urging people to embrace and rise above their hardships with courage and grace.

Nancy and I dive into the depths of shadow work and its transformative power. As I reflect on my own journey with her book and meditations, I’m struck by how essential this work is for unlocking our gifts and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned. Nancy shares her own experience of how a personal crisis became the catalyst for embracing shadow work, revealing how our shadow can create chaos when left unattended. She emphasizes the importance of telling ourselves the truth and recognizing how our shadow shows up, often in unexpected ways. We also explore the relationship between shadow and gift, discussing how qualities we reject in ourselves often manifest in others, serving as mirrors for our own growth. Nancy’s insights into embracing both sides of ourselves—whether it’s being self-sufficient and needy, or a perfectionist and a mistake maker—highlight the importance of wholeness and integration. Her wisdom and personal experience shine through, making it clear that shadow work is not just about healing but also about reclaiming our full power and potential.

In this conversation, I had the honor of speaking with Yeye Teish. We explored the current state of the world and the importance of holding onto hope, even in challenging times. Yeye expressed her concerns about the rise of dictatorships and the threat of global control, emphasizing the need for spiritual activism. She spoke about the power of women’s intuition and our role in restoring balance to the world. We also discussed the deep need to reconnect with nature and the feminine, and the importance of standing up for the Earth. Yeye shared simple rituals to honor water, reminding us of its sacred connection to life and spirituality. Finally, Yeye invited us to support the work of the School of Ancient Mysteries and the Sacred Arts Center. This conversation was filled with wisdom and inspiration—may it resonate with you as it did with me.

Danette, a beacon of positivity with a compelling story, shared her deeply personal experiences with me, taking me from her idyllic childhood close to nature and animals to the heart-wrenching loss of her son, which profoundly transformed her life and purpose. Danette recounted the intimate connection she has always felt with the world beyond the physical, a sentiment that has been deeply rooted in her since childhood. She shared vivid memories of her upbringing on a mini-farm, her early awareness of a calling to connect people with nature, and a profound sense of being known and loved by a higher power.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE THREE WAYS TO MAKE AN INTUITIVE DECISION QUICKLY Every decision we make takes us closer to, or further away from ourselves, our soul, and our alignment. Today, we’re exploring how to plug into our intuition to get a clear hit quickly. So much of life’s discomfort comes when we’re stuck in the in-between. Sometimes we feel stuck in this paralysis because we’re not able to choose or know what we truly want. From changing jobs, moving house, whether to stay or end a relationship, to simple things like choosing an outfit or what to eat for lunch today, knowing how to tap into our intuition can be such a helpful tool for navigating life and its endless change. In this episode I’m going to be sharing my favorite ways to connect in and receive clear guidance to get to the answer you need. “Intuition is pointless unless you act on it. So put those baby steps into action, always. I promise it can be truly life changing.” – REBECCA CAMPBELL SOUL INQUIRY The Soul Inquiry prompts for this episode are: What decision are you being called to make?From the options, what would light you up the most?

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE A DEEPLY PERSONAL POEM. Finally surrendering to the call of the soul. Letter To A Lightworker is from my first book, Light Is The New Black. This poem acted as a manifesto for myself. A testament to the faith, inner knowing, and purpose that each one of us carries. It is a reminder that we are supported in our journey and that our experiences, both beautiful and painful, shape us into who we are meant to be. Whether you’re feeling on track or lost, this episode seeks to assure you that you’re exactly where you need to be. “I bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open because the world needs you open.” — REBECCA CAMPBELL WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/8hJrE1VJSDI KEY TIMESTAMPS 00:35 A Poem: Letter To A Lightworker. 04:06 Finally surrendering to the call of my soul. 05:04 Receiving Letter To A Lightworker. 05:47 A manifesto to myself. 06:17 When this poem came to me and where it came from within me. 10:36 How Letter To A Lightworker kept me on track.

I SHARE MY EXPERIENCE OF STEPPING OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET The journey can be both isolating and empowering. I know how challenging it can be when you first awaken or open yourself up to the deeper questions of life. I’ve been there and know, from experience, it can feel like living a double life. Today, I share how I began, little by little, stepping out of the spiritual closet. The work for me was really around weaving my worlds together, knowing and trusting that not only would I find like-hearted people – but also that I would attract those people into my life too. My hope in hearing my story is that you’ll be encouraged to embrace and embody who you truly are too.  “If you don’t let the world see you, your people will just be walking straight by you, unable to recognize you when they’re right there, right in front of you.” – REBECCA CAMPBELL     SOUL INQUIRY The Soul Inquiry prompts for this episode are: How are you being called to let yourself be seen a little bit more deeply?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. Today, I'm returning with the inspirational Maude Hirst. Together we explore whether reaching rock bottom can truly activate our purpose. While many know Maude as an actress in the popular historical drama series Vikings, her story stretches way beyond our TV screens. Like so many of us, Maude's life was transformed by hitting rock bottom. When many key parts of her life came crumbling down all at once, Maude found solace and purpose in mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, her learnings of which she now shares through her online membership community EnergyRise. My conversation with Maude explores so many themes around the power of surrendering, the importance of creating space to listen deeply and be seen, and how nature can help us to attune to the multiple rhythms that life holds us in. This episode is truly a journey of rediscovery, resilience, and resonance. “Don’t be afraid of the black hole. The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to just let it fall away. The quicker you do that, the quicker you start to rebuild.” - Maude Hirst   KEY TIMESTAMPS: 01:28 Opening Sacred Space. 01:58 Slowing down to your own pace versus the collective pace. 06:23 The unraveling of creativity. 08:23 Expression at different times in our lives. 14:52 Playing a more authentic role. 16:59 The crumbling. 18:09 The calling. 20:48 The whispers of intuition. 24:58 The river of life - finding the flow state. 28:08 Growing up a deep empath. 30:35 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.   SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self.  Today’s Soul Inquiry prompt is: What in your life is calling for a change in pace?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode, I invite you back into the garden. Reconnecting with ourselves, each other and Mother Earth. Today, we explore and unpack the profound sense of separation many of us feel from ourselves, each other and from the Earth itself. Has our disconnection from the earth as our Mother, Her seasons, cyclic ways and ever-changing state caused the problems that humanity is facing on this planet today? Now more than ever, we need to acknowledge the sacred that is here on earth - above us, below us, around us and within us. My hope for this episode is that you reconnect with nature and weave this connection back into your daily life. “Now more than ever we need to see the sacred in all things. To notice the breathtaking beauty that is all around us.”  - Rebecca Campbell   KEY TIMESTAMPS: 02:32: Opening Sacred Space. 03:13: The definition of ‘nature’. 04:02: The real separation so many of us feel. 04:45: We need to see the sacred in all things. 05:13: We all have indigenous Earth-based traditions in our ancestry. 06:19: Our ancient Earth traditions have been severed and forgotten. 07:26: Still, nature cradles, heals and calls us to return to Her. 08:13: Humans are one with the Earth itself. 08:47: Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode, a poem that helped me gather the courage to be seen. Answering the call. I remember the exact moment when I was writing this chapter of Light Is The New Black. It came in fully formed: You Are Not For Everyone. I had received the guidance to write a book to support light workers. To help them answer the call within them, to say yes to their purpose and reconnect to a life that lights them up. But I wasn’t being courageous myself, I was afraid of being seen and heard, and of not being accepted. So, You Are Not For Everyone guided me through a challenging time. My hope for this episode is that it encourages you to, little by little, begin to start sharing who you really are with the world. “If we follow what lights us up, we light up the world without even trying” - Rebecca Campbell   KEY TIMESTAMPS: 00:27: A poem: You Are Not For Everyone. 01:30: Where this piece of writing came from within me. 02:21: Answering the call to support light workers in saying yes to their purpose. 03:30: Being held back and afraid of the haters and negative comments. 04:20: My deep yearning to share my voice, my creations, my gifts and to find my people. 04:43: Your people from a soul perspective. 05:17: Embracing who you really are. 05:52: If you’re feeling out of alignment…   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Full Episode Transcript Book: Light Is The New Black by Rebecca Campbell   CONNECT WITH REBECCA: Website - https://rebeccacampbell.me/practice/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccacampbell_author/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/rebeccacampbellauthor YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/RebeccaCampbell
