What if nothing is “wrong” with your life, but with the lens you’re using to live it? On I Awaken, host Archita sits down with Susan Michel to explore how emotional pain can feel like identity, and how healing begins when you stop fighting your feelings and start listening to what they’re trying to reveal.

This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels heavy, numb, or reactive inside. You’ll hear practical steps to slow down, process triggers, and apply A Course in Miracles as daily mind training that helps you choose love over fear, one moment at a time.

Susan Michel is the author of Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity. She is a suicide prevention advocate and a two-time suicide attempt survivor who teaches A Course in Miracles.

• Try a quiet morning pause to notice what you actually feel

• Journal freely to move emotions from your mind onto paper

• Treat triggers as teachers and look inward before blaming outward

• Notice common blocks like abandonment and betrayal patterns

• Ask: “What is this protecting me from feeling?” then choose one loving action
