In this soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Sebastian Siegel to explore the nature of consciousness and what it means to show up fully in your own life. Sebastian offers a reframe: consciousness isn't something we have — it's a resonance we inhabit. And in our deepest relationships, something greater moves through the other person toward us. Love, he suggests, isn't just a feeling — it's a living stream, a vehicle through which we fully encounter life.

If you've ever felt the ache of moving through your days half-asleep, this episode is your invitation to wake up.

Sebastian Siegel is a British-American director, author, and depth psychology therapist whose work sits at the intersection of art, story, and the human soul. He wrote, produced, and directed Grace & Grit, the acclaimed feature film adapted from Ken Wilber's true story. His 51-episode series The Eight Questions is streaming on YouTube, and his recent TEDx Pacific talk is well worth your time.

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

Have you ever paused long enough to ask — why am I here? In this deeply reflective conversation, meditation teacher, somatic educator, and mystic Annette Knopp invites us back to one of life's most profound questions: how do we heal the parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our attention?

Annette shares how mindfulness opens the inner space we need to turn toward those unhealed places — with presence, curiosity, and compassion. Healing, she reminds us, isn't something we find outside of ourselves. It has been within us all along. And when we do the quiet, courageous work of going inward, we naturally become a steadier presence for those around us too — holding the rope, as she puts it, so others can find their own way back.

This episode is an invitation to recognize your own "okayness" — to peel back the layers, return to yourself, and rediscover your soul.

Annette and her husband Stephan are the founders of Blue Spirit, a renowned retreat center in Costa Rica. She is the author of the newly released book Mystic Nomad.

We are all on an awakening journey.

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

In this episode, I sit down with Rachel McCord—media entrepreneur, TV personality, author, and founder of The McCord List Media Network, as well as creator and host of the nationally syndicated show The McCord List, reaching over 44 million households.

We explore how trauma and PTSD can become pathways to purpose when we learn to listen within. Rachel shares her journey—from a difficult childhood marked by abuse and instability to a life-altering open-heart surgery that awakened her to the sacredness of being alive.

Through it all, she found faith in God—and that faith saved her life.

You are not alone. May her story remind you of that—and inspire you, as it did me.

In this conversation, we explore how we can shift from living in anxiety to discovering greater peace, ease, and breathing room in your daily life.

Richard has deeply mastered the practice of conscious breathing. During a near-death experience, focusing on his breath quite literally saved his life. His work reminds us that healing and awakening arise when psychological insight, embodied health, and expanded consciousness come together.

At the heart of his teaching is a simple but powerful truth: when we step back and observe our thoughts and emotions with awareness, we gain the power to change our lives.

In uncertain times, fear can quietly take over—pulling us into the past or projecting us into the future. But life is only ever happening now. In this episode, I explore how returning to the present moment softens the body, steadies the mind, and loosens fear's grip.

Through a tender lesson from my 97-year-old mother—I reflect on what it means to live in trust rather than anxiety.

Presence doesn't require us to fix everything. It simply asks us to be here. And where presence lives, fear cannot stay.

Listen now and feel more grounded, and present. If this episode supports you, share it with someone who could use a little calm today.

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

In this solo episode, Catherine shares a personal moment that revealed just how deeply our past lives in the body. While therapy offers insight, the real shift happens when we turn inward, breathe, and allow long-held emotions to release.

She explores:
• Why true healing is body-based
• How childhood wounds live in our nervous system
• What happens when we finally let ourselves feel
• Somatic practices that help us soften and let go

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the steady, quiet life within you. Healing begins in the body—and it's available right now.
