How I Made It Through

By: Kristin Taylor and Ray Catania
  • Summary

  • It is often through pain and suffering that we learn our most profound lessons. It is often through courageously exploring the inner landscapes of our lives and seeking healing that we transform, because much like the immortal words of Robert Frost, “The best way out is always through.” How I Made It Through is offered as a survival guide of sorts; both as inspiration and encouragement to speak our truth, feel our feelings and share our unique and unifying stories “making it through” something challenging. This season, I am thrilled to introduce Ray Catania, an esteemed author, metaphysical teacher, and coach, as my cohost. Together, we delve into the profound realms of spirituality, human experience, and the neuroscience behind metaphysics. This season is an invitation to expand your consciousness, embrace healing, and forge a deep connection with love. Join us as we discuss topics such as life after death, the essence of the 'I', and how to transcend the limitations imposed by fear. Get ready to unlock a new level of freedom, peace, and spiritual connection. If you are either curious or even consumed with delving deeper into what happens when we die, and how we can become more fully alive, then this is the show for you.
