The No BS Spiritual Book Club with Sandie Sedgbeer

What if God isn’t who we were taught to believe? In this encore episode of The No BS Spiritual Book Club, Sandie Sedgbeer revisits a conversation that continuesto challenge assumptions about faith, scripture, and spiritual authority. Her guest is Fr. Sean O’Laoire—Irish priest, mystic, clinical psychologist, and spiritual storyteller—whose willingness to question doctrine ultimately led to exile from institutional religion. Drawing from decades of lived experience, Fr. Sean speaks candidly about biblical mistruths, the dangers of rigid theology, and the difference between observing faith and participating in it. He invites listeners to move beyond belief systems and into direct relationship with Spirit—experienced, not explained. Blending Christian mysticism, transpersonal psychology, and a deeply human understanding of consciousness, this conversation explores what it means to live inside a field of Spirit rather than merely talk about it. Fr. Sean’s reflections on seeing, hearing, and trusting the divine presence challenge us to rethink anxiety, fear, and our relationship with the future. This is an encore conversation that still unsettles—and still opens doors. 🔗 Watch here: https://youtu.be/pOj73dAo2e4📚 10 Best Spiritual Books: https://www.sedgbeer.com/father-sean-olaoires-10-best-spiritual-books/🌐 Learn more: https://spiritsinspacesuits.com/about.html

Kara Goodwin didn’t expect a mysterious mark on hernewborn’s skin to become the quiet beginning of her own spiritual awakening.When Kara Goodwin gave birth to her daughter, she immediately noticed an unusual pigmentation on the baby’s skin. It wasn’t blood. It wasn’t bruising. It didn’t fit anything she had been prepared for. And yet something about it stirred a deep intuitive curiosity—one that would eventually guide her into a far-reaching exploration of soul memory, past-life imprints, and the subtle ways our deeper stories follow us into this lifetime.In this candid and heartfelt NO BS conversation, Kara shares how that early moment of wonder became a quiet catalyst for her own awakening. She reflects on how motherhood opened her sensitivity to the unseen, how her daughter’s markingfaded just as mysteriously as it appeared, and how that experience eventually connected with research she later discovered from Dr. Ian Stevenson on birthmarks and past-life trauma.Kara describes awakening not as something dramatic or explosive, but as a slow, steady recognition of what has always been present. She talks about the inner shifts that unfolded as she followed her curiosity, the gentle unraveling of old patterns, and the everyday moments that revealed a deeper spiritual nature guiding her life.Their conversation explores the relationship between intuition and lived experience, the way children can mirror our own soul lessons, and the ways in which ordinary life can become an unexpected teacher. Kara also shares how herwork as an energy healer, meditation guide, and host of the Soul Elevation podcast has evolved from those early questions into a grounded, compassionate path of spiritual connection.This episode invites listeners to consider awakening as something natural and accessible—a process that can emerge through simple observations, intuitive nudges, and the profound reflections that come with parenting, healing, andliving with curiosity.Thursday, Dec 4 at 10:30 AM PT▶️ Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/o5VBWzDOzyc 📘 View Kara Goodwin’s 10 Best Spiritual Books:https://www.sedgbeer.com/kara-goodwins-10-best-spiritual-books/🌐 Learn more about Kara’s work: https://www.karagoodwin.com/
