229. Abundant Ever After with Cathy Heller

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we talk with author, teacher, and podcaster Cathy Heller. Together, we’ll explore the profound idea that each of us has the power to “tune in” to the Creator and manifest our highest potential. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of your own mind, this episode offers a gentle reminder: Wisdom doesn’t live in the mind at all—it lives in the heart. And reconnecting with that deeper knowing might just change the way you experience your entire life.

In a world wired for comparison, anxiety, and endless wanting, gratitude becomes nothing short of a rebellion. In this holiday snack-sized episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore how choosing to appreciate what is—instead of obsessing over what’s missing—defies an entire system built on our dissatisfaction. Most people treat gratitude as a reaction, but spiritual wisdom teaches that real gratitude is proactive. It’s a lens, not a list. It’s how we recognize potential, not just blessings. It’s how we say “yes” to what could be, not only “thank you” for what already exists. Join us for this transformative conversation on radical appreciation.

Do you wake up each morning with a sense of excitement for what’s ahead, or are you just going through the motions? In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore how living a truly spiritual life renews every part of who we are. When we stay connected to the Light of the Creator, we experience rejuvenation, joy, and a deeper sense of being alive. Joy and inspiration are Divine gifts, and no matter how many times we fall, the soul always whispers: try again.

Love isn’t something that just happens. It’s something we build, moment by moment, choice by choice. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we delve into strategies for fostering greater clarity, honesty, and purpose in our relationships.

We’ll also unpack how to release guilt and shame, forgive ourselves, and use every experience—even our mistakes—as fuel for growth.

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Pocast, we explore a radical truth: The purpose of life isn’t about accumulating knowledge or answers—it’s about deepening our closeness with the Creator.

Discover how to redefine what God means to you, recognize that silence is not absence, and learn to surrender in challenging moments to a greater purpose.

In this deeply moving episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we sit down with Julie McFadden, registered nurse and New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to Fear. Her path from intensive care to hospice has fueled her mission to change how we talk about death.

She believes that when we stop resisting death and allow it to unfold, the journey can be profoundly sacred.

Unrealistic and unspoken expectations are like invisible wedges quietly pushing us apart from the people we love most. In this episode, we explore why it’s so important to bring expectations into the light and talk about them openly. Relationships thrive when partners can share not only what they need now, but also who they’re becoming and where they hope to go. The key is staying connected through those changes, rather than being blindsided by them. We’ll also unpack how unspoken expectations can breed resentment and how to spot shifts in energy before unspoken expectations become full-blown conflicts.

The key to managing expectations lies in knowing which are reasonable and which were never promised to us in the first place. In this episode, we explore the kabbalistic wisdom that peace comes from walking through life with fewer expectations, trusting that everything—every twist, every challenge—comes from the Creator and is meant to prompt spiritual growth. We’ll talk about how life’s constant changes mean our expectations are meant to be ever evolving. What if the universe is already giving you exactly what you need? And what if the only thing standing in the way of receiving it… is what you thought should happen instead?

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the hidden roots of judgment and how it often reveals more about us than the people we judge. We’ll unpack how judgment narrows our focus, preventing us from seeing things clearly. Instead of judging, what if we got curious? What if we chose connection over criticism? Join us as we talk about the shift from judgment to compassion, and the healing power of truly being seen and heard.
