In this special episode of Awakening Conversations, Kate and Amanda welcome mindfulness expert, coach, and author Melli O’Brien. With nearly two decades in mental health education, Melli has helped over a million people worldwide—but even with all her training and experience, she found herself facing a period of overwhelming adversity that her existing tools couldn’t fully address. This led her to develop the Deep Resilience Method—a revolutionary psycho-spiritual framework designed to cultivate true, lasting inner strength. In this heart-opening conversation, Melli and Kate explore the transformative power of mindfulness, the importance of understanding the ego, and how to navigate life's inevitable challenges with clarity, self-compassion, and empowered action. They dive into Melli’s newly released book, Deep Resilience, which offers a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck in fear, overwhelm, or the cycles of negative thinking. Whether you’re on the path of spiritual awakening, seeking mental and emotional stability, or simply looking for ways to feel more empowered in uncertain times, this episode is filled with wisdom, practical tools, and deep, soul-nourishing insights. Listen in as Melli shares the RISE Method, her approach to breaking free from the mind’s conditioning, and why she believes mental health and spirituality are inseparable. Plus, don’t miss the exclusive details on her book launch and how you can access this life-changing resource. Tune in now and discover how to shift from struggle to strength, reconnect with your values, and rise to life’s challenges with wisdom and grace. Takeaways: Traditional mental health approaches often fail to address the root causes of suffering. Melli’s Deep Resilience Method integrates mental, emotional, and spiritual strength to create lasting inner resilience. The ego isn’t something to fight—it’s a protective mechanism shaped by past conditioning. By working with it through mindfulness and self-awareness, we can free ourselves from limiting narratives. Trying to eliminate negative thoughts only strengthens them. Instead, recognizing thoughts as mental events rather than absolute truths helps us create space and regain clarity. Meeting fear and self-doubt with kindness neutralizes their power. When we embrace our inner struggles with understanding rather than resistance, transformation becomes possible. Mental health isn’t just about managing emotions—it requires wisdom and deeper self-knowledge. When we integrate both, we cultivate true inner stability and peace. Fear is a natural part of being human, but it doesn’t have to define our choices. By acknowledging fear with compassion, we can move forward with courage and clarity. When life feels chaotic, reconnecting with our values provides direction. Living in alignment with them brings a deeper sense of fulfillment, authenticity, and inner strength. Intelligence alone isn’t enough; wisdom, mindfulness, and compassionate action are essential for real change. By developing resilience, we contribute to a more peaceful and conscious world. Growth doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from aligned action. Small, intentional steps taken from a place of awareness allow us to shift our reality and reclaim our power.
In this episode of Awakening Conversations, Kate and Amanda dive into the concept of the New Earth and the powerful idea that it isn't some far-off future event—it's unfolding right now. They explore the timeline split, where different levels of consciousness coexist, and how our choices determine which path we follow: one of expansion and evolution or one of fear and stagnation. Drawing from insights by alchemist Sarah Elkhaldy and spiritual teacher Aaron Doughty, they discuss how our perceptions shape reality, the role of authenticity in this process, and how even tools like AI can either empower us or deepen fear, depending on our mindset. Kate and Amanda share personal stories, including navigating family dynamics during this shift, and highlight the importance of community, self-awareness, and embracing our creative potential. This is more than a conversation—it's an invitation to recognize your role in shaping the New Earth. Are you ready to step into your authentic power and co-create a new reality? Takeaways: The New Earth isn’t a future event—it’s unfolding in the present, and we each play a role in its creation. Different levels of consciousness coexist, and our choices determine whether we ascend through growth or stay stuck in fear. Even when we feel powerless, we always have the ability to shift our perspective and create change. Fear and negativity keep us stuck in lower vibrations, but recognizing our free will helps us break free. AI can be a tool for expansion or a source of fear, depending on how we choose to engage with it. Living authentically attracts supportive communities and fosters personal and collective evolution. As we grow, relationships may shift. Accepting others’ choices without judgment is key, especially with family. Global challenges offer opportunities to rebuild systems and lives aligned with higher consciousness. Where we focus our attention shapes our reality—distraction holds us back, while focus on growth propels us forward. If you feel called to create, now is the time. The energy supporting growth and new ideas is here.
In this episode of the Awakening Conversations podcast, Kate and Amanda explore the power of choice in shaping our consciousness—especially in uncertain and heavy times.

Drawing on David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness and the principles of letting go, they break down how we can release limiting beliefs, reframe fear, and align with higher vibrational states like love, peace, and joy. Through personal experiences and practical insights, they show that awakening is about recognizing our patterns, letting go of what no longer serves us, and actively choosing how we engage with the world. This conversation is an invitation to step out of fear-based narratives and into a conscious, empowered way of being—one that radiates love, gratitude, and inner peace, no matter what’s happening externally. Takeaways: ✅ Your Consciousness is a Choice – No matter what’s happening around you, you always have the power to choose the frequency you align with. ✅ Fear & Hopelessness Are Not Permanent States – They are energetic patterns that can be shifted with awareness and intention. ✅ The Map of Consciousness Shows the Way – David Hawkins’ work reveals how we can move from lower vibrational states (fear, shame, anger) to higher ones (love, peace, enlightenment). ✅ Letting Go Frees Us – Instead of suppressing emotions, we must acknowledge, feel, and release them to create space for healing and transformation. ✅ Your Energy Creates a Ripple Effect – The frequency you hold impacts others—choosing peace and love raises the collective consciousness. ✅ We Must Be Aware of the Fear Matrix – The world bombards us with fear-based narratives, but we can choose to step out of them. ✅ Inner Work is the Key to Outer Change – Healing our inner child, shifting limiting beliefs, and practicing self-awareness allows us to move beyond fear. ✅ Gratitude Transforms Everything – Even in difficult times, shifting our focus to what we appreciate raises our vibration. ✅ Happiness is in the Present Moment – Not in the future, not in external circumstances, but in our awareness and choice right now. ✅ Your Attention is Your Power – What you focus on grows. Are you feeding fear or expanding love? This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim your power, break free from limiting states, and actively choose a reality aligned with love, peace, and inner freedom.

Today’s guest, Lauren Dionysius, shares with us her incredible life's journey and awakening. A former NICU nurse working with babies born into the world with the toughest challenges, Lauren had a near-death experience in the Zambezi River while on a much needed career break in Africa.  On her return home, Lauren felt the deep inner call to return to work in the NICU, but found herself bargaining with the universe for things to be different. Little did she know what she’d just asked for.  When Lauren returned to work she began having profound spiritual experiences with the babies she was caring for. Initially thinking she was going mad, she realised that the wisdom these babies were sharing with her completely changed how she cared for babies clinically and also her own beliefs around birth, life and death.  Lauren discusses the shared death experiences she had with several babies in the NICU, where she witnessed the transition of their souls from the physical world to the spiritual realm. She describes feeling the energy of the babies leaving their physical bodies and the sense of freedom and peace they experienced.  Lauren shares in detail what she learned from these babies about why they choose to come to Earth and how they leave for their own reasons, which are often unknown or not considered by society.  Lauren shares with us the profound insights she’s gleaned from these experiences about the true nature of reality, life and death and emphasizes the importance of holding space for both the beauty and the grief of these experiences.  Takeaways: Shared death experiences provide a front-row seat to the transition of a soul from the physical to the spiritual realm. These experiences have changed how Lauren cares for babies clinically and have deepened her understanding of the bigger picture of life. Babies choose to come to Earth and leave for their own reasons, which are often unknown or not considered by society. Witnessing the transition of babies can be a powerful and transformative experience, challenging societal beliefs about death. Holding space for both the beauty and the grief of these experiences can help change our perspective and reduce suffering. There is a much bigger picture to life, and we are more vast and expansive than our human bodies. The awakening process can be uncomfortable and confrontational, but it opens us up to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the soul's journey.
Shadi Sadeghi is a certified life coach in Jungian psychology and an Emotion Code practitioner. Her method combines depth psychology, Eastern philosophy, social neuroscience, and emotional energy work to guide her clients through the transformative process of awakening to their true selves. Shadi's journey to becoming a Jungian coach started with her own personal development journey and a spiritual quest from a young age. She discovered the power of Jungian coaching and the shifts it brought in her life, leading her to become a coach herself. She now helps others integrate their shadow, release past conditioning, and manifest their true desires. In this conversation, Kate, Amanda, and Shadi discuss practical ways to broaden our awareness and tap into our potential for manifestation. They emphasize the importance of shadow work, which involves examining our triggers and judgments to uncover hidden aspects of ourselves. They also explore the role of relationships in our personal development journey, highlighting how our projections onto others can reveal our own unconscious patterns. The conversation touches on the concepts of divine masculine and feminine, the conditioning of society and family, and the power of curiosity and self-inquiry. Shadi offers shadow work sessions and incorporates energy work into her coaching practice. Takeaways Shadi's method combines depth psychology, Eastern philosophy, social neuroscience, and emotional energy work to guide clients through the transformative process of awakening to their true selves. The journey to becoming whole and awakening to our true selves is called individuation in Jungian psychology. The personal unconscious, or shadow, is formed through childhood experiences and conditioning, and it contains repressed emotions and traits that we deny or reject. By integrating the shadow and expanding awareness, we can tap into the collective unconscious and access intuition, inspiration, and synchronicities. Setting intentions and expanding awareness can activate the reticular activating system (RAS) in the brain, allowing us to notice opportunities and experiences aligned with our desires. Broadening our awareness and tapping into our potential requires doing shadow work, which involves examining our triggers and judgments. Our relationships can serve as mirrors, reflecting our unconscious patterns and providing opportunities for growth. Integrating the divine masculine and feminine within ourselves leads to wholeness and empowers us as creators. Curiosity and self-inquiry are key to uncovering our true selves and breaking free from conditioning. Having compassion for ourselves and investing in our personal development journey are important for growth and evolution.
