Today we are diving into true transformation, awakening, and living a miraculous life with one of the women I have admired most these last years,
Suzanne Giesemann. Suzanne is an author, spiritual teacher, and medium recognized on Watkins' 2022 List of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. A former US Navy commander who served as an aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she now practices 21st-century spirituality, which merges the latest scientific understanding about consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom.
Suzanne channels this wisdom into sharing the Awakened Way – a path to knowing who you are and why you're here. On her YouTube channel, which has over 10 million views, she helps kindred souls shift to living a consciously connected and divinely guided life.
I have felt my own shifts from her great wisdom, having had the great blessing of being on her fabulous podcast, The Messages of Hope. Suzanne has also taught for Your Year of Miracles program for one of my guest expert sessions, and she had me at Hello.
With her latest book The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life, Suzanne reaches to help millions of others go from an emptiness that can't be filled to a fullness that can't be contained.
In this episode, Suzanne speaks courageously and beautifully about how the tragic death of her daughter, Susan, inspired her insight that we are not only human but also souls, and the joy of reconnecting to Susan in the spirit world. She shares her insights into the reality of the spirit world as a higher consciousness beyond the popular wooh-wooh and lays out the stepping stones to access this higher consciousness which is always there to guide you.
Most importantly, Suzanne gives practical guidance for those struggling on their path to accessing the higher consciousness and entering the state of just being, which is unconditional love.
"You're part of one big web of connections, not just with each other here, but with the non-physical world. And once you start recognizing that, then the miracles that you show everybody about become commonplace." – Suzanne Giesemann

Favorite quotes from the episode:
There must be a better way. There is – the Awakened Way – Suzanne Giesemann
Life is a process. It never ends. We're all work in progress – Suzanne Giesemann
Do not despair. You are never alone. And you are not only human. It's only when you think you are only human that you give in to fear and helplessness and hopelessness. But as you expand your consciousness…you realize that this earthly experience is exactly that, an experience and that ultimately all is well – Suzanne Giesemann
When you come to truly know we do not die, death is a tragedy here within this story…Yet it happens to all of us, some kind of death in the family eventually. But once you come to know, we go on and we will meet again and we can converse with them now it truly changes everything – Suzanne Giesemann
