Podcast appearances and mentions of Journey Home

The root of suffering lies in our stored impressions and unresolved emotional experiences from the past. These form the personal mind and are the foundation of our self-concept. Spiritual growth is about learning to relax through the discomfort of cleansing, rather than having to control life to match our preferences. Liberation happens by becoming a "letting go machine," which, over time, allows us to align with our natural state—eternal, conscious, blissful being.

Send us a textWhen life delivers its heaviest blows, how do we find the strength to keep going? Sylvia Morbeck's answer will leave you speechless.From the moment Sylvia awakened in a German hospital in 1992 to learn her husband and daughter had been killed in the car accident she survived, her path forward was forever altered. What followed was a journey through grief, alcohol dependency, and eventually a terminal diagnosis that would bring her to hospice care. Yet sitting across from me today, Sylvia radiates a peace that defies her circumstances."Don't build a house with somebody who's not willing to carry the bricks," she advises, displaying the raw wisdom that comes only from walking through fire. After losing her loved ones, Sylvia admits she stopped speaking to God for an entire decade, carrying anger that many who've experienced loss will recognize. The turning point came not in a dramatic revelation but through gradual surrender—a lesson in how healing often happens in the quiet spaces we create when we finally stop fighting.Perhaps the most extraordinary moment in our conversation comes when Sylvia describes her near-death experience two years ago. After a blood vessel burst in her stomach and doctors placed her in a medically-induced coma, she believes she visited heaven—describing marble streets, gold mansions, and complete freedom from pain. When she unexpectedly recovered and was walking the next day, doctors were baffled. "I believe our angels can take us out of here for a second, heal our bodies while we're out of it, and then when we come back, you're healed," she reflects.Today, Sylvia approaches hospice care with remarkable grace, taking each day as it comes while finding joy in family connections and even the simple companionship of her emotional support rabbit. Her message for those facing similar circumstances? "Take it a day at a time. Sometimes when you start projecting stuff ahead of time, things happen quicker."Listen to this episode if you've ever questioned how to find meaning in suffering, wondered what lies beyond this life, or simply needed a reminder of the incredible human capacity for resilience. Share with someone who needs to hear that even in our darkest moments, healing and peace remain possible.Love what you hear? Wanna be featured on Updated AF?

Beyond Borders: A Spiritual Journey Home. The Odiyana Project on YouTube. www.Tibetanaidfoundation.orgAfter a worldwide quest for meaning following personal tragedy, a couple returns to America with newfound perspective. Having traveled through India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, they share profound insights about appreciating American freedom while reflecting on global inequality, spiritual growth, and their humanitarian work establishing an orphanage abroad. This thought-provoking conversation explores what truly matters in life beyond material comfort. A significant portion of the conversation centers on their humanitarian work, specifically the establishment of an orphanage in India through their foundation, the Tibetan Aid Foundation. The project provides shelter, food, education, and hope to children who previously had no future, including a 12-year-old boy they adopted whose parents had been forced to sell him due to extreme poverty. The podcast highlights themes of gratitude, perspective, the search for meaning, and finding joy in helping others despite personal tragedy. It serves as a reminder to focus on what we have rather than what we lack, especially when comparing the different types of struggles faced by people in wealthy versus developing nations.Key Points:The couple's spiritual journey was prompted by the loss of their son and feelings of emptiness despite material comfort in AmericaThey visited India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, meeting spiritual teachers including the Dalai LamaThey gained perspective on American abundance compared to the basic survival struggles in developing countriesThey established an orphanage in India that provides children with basic necessities and hope for the futureThe conversation emphasizes gratitude and focusing on what we have rather than what we lack

Send us a textIn this episode, my guest is Camille Morgenstern — a storyteller, cultural curator, and the heart behind The Carioca Kitchen. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Camille left Brazil at 17 to study in Vermont, eventually planting roots in California. For years, her connection to home became more memory than presence, more nostalgia than reality. But in 2022, following the passing of her father, Camille was called—quite literally—back to Rio to return his ashes to the place he loved most. What felt like a tall ask turned out to be his greatest gift to her. What unfolded was more than a homecoming; it was a profound reckoning with identity, grief, motherhood, and the soul-level recognition of where we come from. That journey sparked a powerful reconnection to her heritage, language, and culture, and birthed The Carioca Kitchen—a vibrant project sharing Brazilian stories, food, and objects with deep emotional resonance.Camille joins us today to talk about the winding road home, the quiet strength in rediscovery, and how the flavors of her childhood are helping her—and others—heal and belong.CONNECT WITH CAMILLE:Website: https://www.thecariocakitchen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecariocakitchen/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecariocakitchenTikTok: thecariocakitchen (@thecariocakitchen) | TikTokMentions:Nutricionist: Carla Faedo InstagramBook: This Naked Mind by Annie Grace, available on AmazonIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!!

ShownotesThere comes a time when we will all come face to face with our mortality. Very few of us will be able to see what impacts we've made until we are called home. Our guest Joelle Maryn,  was blessed to have a life changing experience.  In the midst of a near death encounter or what many call an Illumination of Conscience, God revealed aspects of her life. Listen as Andrea speaks with our guest about her near-death-like  experiences, but more importantly, what to do with the information to help us on our journey home.Our GuestActress, speaker, and host Joelle Maryn. In her childhood, Joelle survived a house fire that unfortunately took the life of her only sibling, Maria.  Consumed by the flames of despair, she suffered an immensely tumultuous childhood. Buying into the lies of culture, Joelle sought comfort in the material world, and a successful career in the entertainment industry which was never fully satisfied. She eventually hit a spiritual rock bottom and had a near-death-like experience that transformed her faith and the trajectory of her life. Her “fires” were converted into a source of strength and purpose as she finally found her fire within. Following her profound conversion experience, she now dedicates her life to sharing God's healing love, inspiring millions worldwide. Maryn also engages in faith-based films and TV shows to lead others closer to Christ, including playing the role of the Blessed Mother in an upcoming movie. Her remarkable story has been featured on various platforms, including EWTN's “The Journey Home.” And is the host of  Shalom World TV's "Beyond the Vision,"  this past February , “BECOME THE FIRE: Push Past Fear and Find Your Purpose.” was recently published in February. 2025.Scripture​Jeremiah 31:13 Links​EWTN's Journey Home - Joelle Maryn ​BECOME THE FIRE: Push Past Fear and Find Your Purpose​MASTER OF THE PIECES: Being Restored, Redeemed, and Empowered by the Love of God​WORKBOOK AND JOURNAL FOR MASTER OF THE PIECES: Being Restored, Redeemed, and Empowered by the Love of God​Prayer to Saint Maria Goretti​www.joellemaryn.comPrayer for children who have been sex trafficked, specifically for the girl Joelle had the image of and the forgotten souls, those who have been abused and those with no one praying for them.Help us spread the word about our ministry!Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and other podcast platforms.

It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Julian Bermudez, founder of Psychedelic Integration, about his deeply personal and powerful approach to healing. In this episode, Julian shares his philosophy of psychedelic integration as a sacred return—a coming home to the body, to the heart, and to the version of ourselves that existed before life's pain forced us to adapt. Through his lived experience and the space he holds for others, Julian invites us to see integration not as a checklist, but as a living, breathing practice of transformation. We explore the idea of purpose, reclaiming value, and the path to remembering who we truly are.

Have you ever felt like you've lost touch with yourself? In this episode, I share some heartfelt reflections about the journey of remembering who we truly are. I talk about the noise that pulls us away, the quiet wisdom that calls us back, and how nature can gently guide us home.

What happens when a top sales leader turns inward, rewires her patterns, and reclaims her identity? The answer might surprise you. In this intimate episode of The Soul Fusion Podcast, Penny sits down with certified hypnotist and entrepreneur Tina Madsen for a powerful conversation on what it really takes to shift your identity, regulate your nervous system, and live from a place of presence—even in the chaos of parenting, ADHD, and building a life that actually feels good. Tina's journey is not just inspiring—it's a masterclass in resilience, self-leadership, and what happens when you finally learn how to work with your subconscious mind instead of against it. With a background as a former elite athlete and global sales leader (top 1% in her company), Tina knew how to perform. But it wasn't until she said yes to hypnosis that she learned how to be at ease in her body, mind, and life. And yes… something is shifting behind the scenes of the Soul Fusion world. There's more unfolding in this episode than just Tina's personal story.

Ep. 173 (Part 2 of 2) | In this 8th dialogue in the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali gives a clear, colorful description of the three stages we go through on the spiritual path: the journey to presence, the journey with presence, and the journey in presence. “There's much more to the journey than just being free of suffering,” he says, “in the journey with presence, there's a whole universe to discover—unexpectedly we find there is a whole realm of splendor, beauty, freedom, and liberation.” In the third journey, the journey in presence, the stage of actualization, we are swimming in the ocean of presence or we are the presence itself. Hameed relates how impeccability, strong and pure like stainless steel, is an important part of actualizing presence, embodying our essence in our daily lives. “The ‘I am' can function in the world as a person,” he explains, “I can be the vastness, an infinite, black, luminous night, completely formless, but still walk in the street as a person.”Hameed also talks about the “pearl beyond price”—the individuated self that brings a functional capacity to the isness, which is why it is of incomparable price—and the point of existence, point of light, or pure I-ness. He discusses the individuation of the soul and the realization that the nature of the soul is the nature of everything: this is the nondual experience. This dialogue is another treasure trove of spiritual transmission by Hameed—with humor, clarity, precision, and beautiful metaphor, his teachings, even as deeply profound and mysterious as they are, come as wonderful revelations for us to grasp onto, leading us forward on the inner journey home.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: Community Healing: How our Greatest Wounds & our Greatest Healing Happens through Human Relationship [Part VI of VIII]In this Friday episode you will meet Leo, another fellow listener to the Latter Day Struggles podcast and an ongoing participant in Valerie's healing communities.  Leo and Val talk about Leo's true self journey and how he has realized his  estrangement from his true self and how that was closely connected to burying multiple aspects of himself due to the demands of patriarchy.  Leo shares his confusion at the concept of true self and how he eventually realized that reclaiming this part of himself was the key to all healing in every area of his life.  Listen in and see if this resonates with you if you are a man socialized out of your wholeness by patriarchy...or if you are a woman who knows and loves a man who might resonate with Leo's very relatable experience.  Support the show**More sensitive or more psychologically advanced themes are saved for paid Friday episodes to protect the content creators from being mischaracterized by less familiar consumers.**LEARN HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO FRIDAY EPISODES(Watch a 2-minute how-to video)THEN subscribe to Fridays here.

Ep. 172 (Part 1 of 2) | In this 8th dialogue in the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali gives a clear, colorful description of the three stages we go through on the spiritual path: the journey to presence, the journey with presence, and the journey in presence. “There's much more to the journey than just being free of suffering,” he says, “in the journey with presence, there's a whole universe to discover—unexpectedly we find there is a whole realm of splendor, beauty, freedom, and liberation.” In the third journey, the journey in presence, the stage of actualization, we are swimming in the ocean of presence or we are the presence itself. Hameed relates how impeccability, strong and pure like stainless steel, is an important part of actualizing presence, embodying our essence in our daily lives. “The ‘I am' can function in the world as a person,” he explains, “I can be the vastness, an infinite, black, luminous night, completely formless, but still walk in the street as a person.”Hameed also talks about the “pearl beyond price”—the individuated self that brings a functional capacity to the isness, which is why it is of incomparable price—and the point of existence, point of light, or pure I-ness. He discusses the individuation of the soul and the realization that the nature of the soul is the nature of everything: this is the nondual experience. This dialogue is another treasure trove of spiritual transmission by Hameed—with humor, clarity, precision, and beautiful metaphor, his teachings, even as deeply profound and mysterious as they are, come as wonderful revelations for us to grasp onto, leading us forward on the inner journey home. Recorded January 3, 2025.“The experience of presence is the defining experience of this path.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing the 8th dialogue of the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, which focuses on the 15th chapter of The Inner Journey Home: “The Inner Journey” (00:56)Hameed outlines 3 stages of the inner journey: the journey to presence, the journey with presence, the journey in presence (03:00)First, the individual soul, structured through early life experience, begins (with practice) to recognize presence (09:50)Second is the journey with presence: working with the theory of holes before opening to spaciousness (12:22)The second stage is the fun part—when everything is completely new and somewhat miraculous (14:56)Experiencing the true potential of a human being: unexpectedly we find there is a whole realm of splendor, beauty, freedom & liberation (17:59)The third journey is actualization, when we are swimming in the ocean of presence or we are the presence itself: self-realization; the self is the presence (19:55)Impeccability: living in a way that is faithful to our true nature (21:12)Roger's summary of Hameed's points: presence is not static, learning about true nature is an ongoing, marvelous surprise, viewing spiritual maturation along a spectrum, and how realizing presence brings with it the deep desire that all beings experience it (23:34)In other traditions, there isn't much discussion beyond the realization itself (25:56)The world is never “fixed” (28:55)Part of the soul's maturation is individuation; personal-ness turns out to be a quality of presence (30:10)The pearl beyond price (the individuated self) is known also to the gnostics, the Sufis, the Taoists… it is protected by a fearsome monster (the ego) (33:28)The point of light,...

What if you tried something new and it turned out great? Breeda Miller joins Mary Ann Faremouth on this episode of Career Can Do to share her journey of creating and performing a one-woman show that captivates audiences and brings meaningful stories to life. Breeda is an accomplished speaker, storyteller, and performer who uses humor and heartfelt narratives to connect with people on a deeper level. In this episode, Breeda takes us behind the scenes of her creative process and how she transformed her love for storytelling into a theatrical production. The idea for her one-woman show, Mrs. Kelly's Journey Home, was born from her desire to preserve her mother's legacy while exploring themes of identity, resilience, and belonging. Through her personal journey, Breeda reflects on how we all carry stories within us that shape who we are. She found that by sharing these stories, she could help others see the humor and humanity in their own lives, creating a bridge between her personal experiences and the universal emotions that connect us all. Crafting a one-woman show isn't just about writing a script — it's about delivering an authentic performance that resonates with audiences on a deeply emotional level. Breeda's show isn't just about sharing her mother's story; it's about inviting the audience into a shared experience, where they laugh, cry, and walk away feeling like they've been on a journey with her. She emphasizes how important it is to take creative risks, even when stepping into the unknown feels daunting. Breeda encourages listeners to trust their instincts, push past their fears, and embrace vulnerability, because that's where the magic happens. Through her performance, Breeda shows that it's never too late to step into the spotlight, to create something meaningful, and to share your voice with the world. Her journey is a reminder that sometimes the most rewarding and transformative experiences come from taking the leap into new creative endeavors, even when it seems scary or uncertain.
