Everyday Awakening: Healing & Resilience with Catherine Duncan with Catherine Duncan, MA, BCC, Board-Certified Chaplain, Integrative Spiritual Consultant & Author of Everyday Awakening
In a world where we often feel disconnected and overwhelmed, the quest for deeper meaning and spiritual awakening becomes ever more urgent. Today, my guest is Catherine Duncan, a board-certified chaplain, certified spiritual director, an expert in positive neuroplasticity, and a leading integrative spiritual consultant. She is also an author, holistic healer, inspirational speaker, and resilience trainer. Guided by her personal experiences as a childhood cancer survivor and a near-death experience, she brings a unique perspective on the interplay between emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
In this episode, we are honored to speak with Catherine, whose book, Everyday Awakening- Five Practices for Living Fully, Feeling Deeply, and Coming into Your Heart and Soul, has touched many lives and received endorsements from notable figures like Mel Robbins. With her book now in its second print run, she offers 42 exercises designed to help individuals awaken their heart and soul. Her work is not just about healing but about guiding others to unfold their true selves, helping them navigate life's transitions, and finding joy and peace amidst challenges. With credentials spanning theology, divinity, chaplaincy, and holistic healing practices, her approach is both heartfelt and deeply informed.
Join us as we explore insights she shares from her journey and expertise. We'll discuss what it means to awaken, how to practice presence in everyday life as caregivers, and ways to connect with something greater than ourselves.
