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.

In this powerful conversation, John shares how trauma doesn't have to define who you become. As he says, "I was never a victim. I have always been an overcomer. If I can make it, so can you." He speaks openly about how the scars we carry - especially the ones marked by shame - can become symbols of honor and strength.

John brings a lifetime of hard-earned wisdom. He is an author, poet, activist, and founder of the Give Them a Voice Foundation, which he launched in 2015 to advocate for survivors of abuse, trafficking, and PTSD. His poetry collection, No Working Title, offers a raw, evolving portrait of a life reclaimed.

This episode is an invitation into truth, courage, and the profound possibility of rebuilding a life - even after unthinkable harm. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

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

Listening back decades later, three messages still ring true: Life is here and now. Don't take this moment for granted.
Being alive is a gift. These early truths shaped my path—even after a long detour through the corporate world—and eventually led me back to theology, chaplaincy, and the work I do today.

In this episode, I invite you to pause and turn inward: What is stirring inside you? What is your soul whispering?
Can you feel the preciousness of this moment?

We are all being guided. The real question is: How do you experience that guidance within yourself?
