Feel drained after being around a lot of people, watching the news, or having a hard conversation? We're constantly taking in the energy around us, and it can leave us overwhelmed and dysregulated.

In this episode, I share three simple practices for setting energy boundaries: the bubble visualization, feathers/leather/eggshell, and words and intention. I've used and refined these over 26 years, including as a chaplain in a Level I trauma hospital. Try each one, notice which resonates, and learn how to stay centered and grounded all day long.

Grounding and peace are your natural state, even amid upheaval. Awakening isn't escaping the world. It's walking through it while shining your light.

Everyday Awakening with Catherine Duncan is a journey into our heart and soul and oneness with the Universe.

In this episode, Catherine explores what we do when we feel off-balance: pause and turn inward, or push our feelings aside and keep moving? She shares the four neuroplasticity steps she practices and teaches, and a simple in-the-moment tool: saying "I notice anxiety right now" instead of "I am anxious," which creates space so the emotion doesn't define us. But the feeling still needs attention. Emotions we don't feel get pushed down and resurface later, leading to numbness and disconnection. Catherine invites listeners to meet hard feelings with curiosity, or, when time is short, to name them and come back later.

Every feeling we allow to move through us brings us closer to who we truly are: light and love.

What does it mean to find your true self and actually live from there? In this episode of Everyday Awakening, I sit down with Patrick Marando for an honest, heartfelt conversation about turning inward and the quiet pull that guides us home to ourselves.

Patrick shares his experience of feeling like an avatar in his body, and the awakening that came after: a moment of nothing, and then everything. Together we explore what happens when we stop resisting and let that subtle inner pull live through us.

We talk about how every emotion lives in the body. We also get into practical ways to find stillness in the middle of chaos, and what awakening looks like in everyday life: living your truth, moment by moment.

Patrick is an author, spiritual teacher and psychologist from Sydney, Australia with over 20 years of experience. His spiritual teachings revolve around bridging the gap between spirituality and psychology using his studies in Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Non-Dualism, New Age philosophies and modern psychology, and focus on living from a state of truth. His book Waking Up to Your Self launched July 2024.

If you've been longing to feel more at home in yourself, this conversation is for you.
