Join host Ben Decker in a metaphysical conversation with friend Marianne Williamson.
Marianne is best known for her 13+ bestselling books, and her 2020 campaign for president. She was the first ever spiritual teacher to make it to the televised Democratic Presidential Debates, and was the most Googled candidate after the second debates. Marianne initiated a global about face, as the intriguing freshness of her candidacy resulted in millions of people being exposed to a deeper, more spiritual and heart-centered approach to politics.
In this episode, hear Ben share his unique understanding of the importance of Marianne's role in today's mainstream society, even going so far as to refer to Marianne as an "avatar, synthesizing spirituality and politics." While Marianne did not accept this assertion, she says that "an avatar is someone who has gotten there 24/7, and I haven't gotten there 24/7." Ben replied, "I don't need you to get it right 24/7, I just need you to get it right when it matters. You get it right when it matters.”
Receive inspiration from Marianne's sage wisdom; especially on claiming one's power and ushering in a new political and spiritual era.
Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist and spiritual thought leader.
For over three decades Marianne has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 14 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. A quote from the mega best seller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.
Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit that has delivered more than 13 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supports the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. In 2021, Marianne launched MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com and the TRANSFORM Podcast.
