Is your spiritual awakening making you question… everything? From quitting your 9-to-5 to selling crystals on Etsy, it's easy to wonder what “living your purpose” even means. But what if you didn't need to burn your life down to wake up? What if spiritual awakening could look a lot more grounded? This week, we're diving deep with Kara Goodwin, host of the Soul Elevation Podcast, meditation guide, energy healer, and author of Your Authentic Awakening: A Guide to Everyday Spiritual Living. Kara joins us for a hilariously real and mind-expanding convo that's one part TED Talk, one part ayahuasca ceremony, and all parts truth serum for your soul. Whether you're a spiritual newbie or a seasoned seeker secretly side-eyeing your job as a spiritual imposter, this episode is your permission slip to stop faking alignment and start living it, without needing to join a cult or relocate to a Peruvian jungle.What You'll Discover in This Episode: ✅ What “living your purpose” really means; spoiler: it's not always about quitting your job or becoming a guru.✅ The truth about spiritual awakenings: how to know if you're in one and why your life might be crumbling (on purpose).✅ How Kara's personal tragedies cracked her wide open and sparked an authentic, life-changing spiritual journey.✅ Plant medicine: sacred tool or spiritual bandwagon? Kara shares insights from her mushroom experiences and the dream that told her to walk away.✅ The danger of spiritual dogma, even in “non-dogmatic” communities, and how to avoid becoming a cosmic copy-paste.✅ How to stay in your life without losing your awakening (yes, you can have a family, a job and a foot in the fifth dimension).✅ Why authenticity is the new enlightenment, and how to sniff it out (literally). Also in This Episode: - Kara's psychedelic experiences (including a psychic connection to mushroom chocolate before even eating it!) Why some of her most powerful visions happen with just CBD, meditation, and a hypnagogic stateHer honest take on energy healing, spiritual fads, and “awakening guilt”The subtle art of knowing when your guides are whispering… and how not to mistake them for imaginationWhat Kara's spirit guides would name their own podcast, and what the first episode would cover Who Should Listen?

After surviving two house fires as a kid and navigating the challenges of military service, Richie stepped into entrepreneurship with little more than a beat-up truck, a leap of faith, and a dream. Together with his wife Tiffany, he built a construction company in Hawai‘i that has grown into one of the fastest-rising in the country—earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list and landing major projects like a $34M renovation for NBA star Zach LaVine. But Richie's true mission goes deeper than building homes. Through trauma, transition, and success, he discovered his higher calling: building people, not just businesses. In our conversation, Richie shares powerful lessons from his new book Builder of All Things—a raw, faith-driven look at overcoming adversity, finding purpose, and leading with conviction in today's world.

In this episode, host Shaesta Waiz speaks with Lynda Coffman—CEO of Women in Aviation International, former United Airlines executive, and Northwestern adjunct professor— about sustaining a qualified aviation workforce while navigating the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Lynda shares her journey from being the first female engineer in United's powerplant group to leading airport operations across 63 stations and founding United Ground Express. She reflects on how DEI has been misunderstood, why access is not about lowering standards, and how systemic, purpose-driven action strengthens aviation's safety and growth. They discuss why shrinking the pipeline hurts everyone, how leaders can challenge unconscious bias in real time, and why support networks and “personal boards of directors” are essential for women entering aviation today. Lynda closes with advice to stay rooted in passion, build strong communities, and never let others decide what you are capable of.

Scores of people today, even in many of our churches, walk around aimless. They work their jobs and take care of their families, but they struggle to understand what it is that God wants them to do.He's told us! As with every other situation, His Word speaks directly to our circumstances.Micah 6:8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”The Lord requires of us that we have the mind of Christ. That we aim for showing justice and mercy to those we encounter. And notice: we are to love doing these things, not just go through the motions. And finally, we are to remember to be humble. There's only One Who is perfect, and that is the Father. In our present state, we are to emulate the qualities that caused His Son Jesus to turn the world upside down for good.If you ever wonder what your purpose is, start with these awesome words from the prophet Micah.Let's pray.Lord, help us to keep in front of us at all times the simplicity that is in Christ. He shows us the way. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
