Episode 2: A Healed Mind

What would your life look like if you stopped trying to control it? In this episode of Designed to Be Awake, I explore the life-changing idea from A Course in Miracles: “A healed mind does not plan.” This doesn’t mean we don’t take action or show up fully—it means we stop trying to control outcomes from a place of fear, and instead live from trust, presence, and inner alignment.

I share a deeply personal story about a moment in my life when I realized my body was screaming “no” to the life I was living—how I left a job that was burning me out, how I navigated financial fear, and how I began rebuilding from a place of truth instead of trauma.

We talk about what it feels like to be guided, how your body can become your spiritual GPS, and how powerful it is to stop overriding your intuition just to meet society’s expectations. I also speak about the I Ching and how it became an unexpected teacher and mirror for my inner world.

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic planning, overthinking, or gripping too tightly to your “shoulds,” this episode offers both a soft landing and a bold invitation: to trust yourself and experiment with a new way of being.

You were never meant to push your way through life. You were designed to be awake.
