Marianne is renowned for her wisdom on healing and spirituality, as captured in all of her books to date, including her latest work, The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love — which reimagines Jesus not as a distant historical figure but as a universal and transformative spiritual force that calls us to embody love in our daily lives.   Reflecting on the teachings of A Course in Miracles, Marianne shares insights into the journey from head to the heart and the importance of a daily ritual each morning to help set the tone to navigate the chaos of the modern world with grace. Together, we also dive deep into the transformative power of relationships, exploring how they offer opportunities to reconnect with love, embrace forgiveness, and transcend ego-driven patterns. Marianne passionately discusses the rise of the divine feminine — not as a passive or soft energy, but as a fierce protector of life, justice, and the planet. She also delves into the internalized patriarchy that many women carry and the sacred responsibility of sisterhood to support and uplift one another.
