Discover Catherine Duncan's incredible journey from surviving two near-death experiences to embracing a spiritually enriched life. This episode reveals how confronting mortality led her to a profound awakening and a shift from corporate success to a purpose-driven existence.
Catherine Duncan, an integrative spiritual consultant and author, graciously opens the pages of her life, revealing a story of survival and spiritual awakening after two intense near-death experiences. From the grips of a rare childhood cancer to a treacherous whitewater rafting accident, Catherine's narrative is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the call towards a purpose-driven existence. Through her reflections, listeners will find encouragement to tune into the depths of their own hearts and souls, and perhaps, be motivated to pivot towards a path that resonates with their innermost desires.
Catherine doesn't stop at just sharing her journey; she arms us with the wisdom of her book "Everyday, Awakening," offering practical tools for enriching our daily lives.

These are not mere concepts but actionable exercises that Catherine has crafted to guide us towards a more vibrant and heartfelt way of living.
As we close our time with Catherine, we reflect on the empowering choices that define a life well-lived: the choice of self-love, the choice to meditate and move with intentionality, and the choice to open oneself to guidance from beyond our physical realm. Her insights into the spiritual dimension of our existence serve as a reminder of the unseen forces that accompany us.
