Kris Carr on Moving Through Mourning, Anticipatory Grief, and Life Ruptures

Thank you for 7 magical years! Episode 444 marks the end of an era before I take a long hiatus. In this finale, I get behind the mic for a solo show to share 22 seeds of magic that I’ve gathered over the years. A collection of lessons on growth, healing, creativity, and self-discovery. This episode is where open-mindedness meets healthy skepticism, curiosity meets creation, reflection meets awareness, exploration meets "spirituality," and your true essence meets magic. From learning how to trust your own intuition to embracing the power of rest, self-love, and the guidance of nature, these insights reflect the evolution I’ve experienced. Whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or just recently joined, this episode is a beautiful reflection of where I’ve been, what I've learned, and leaves some of us curious about where we may be going...Thank you for everything!!!!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN YOM RETURNS!&/or follow @raquellemantra on ig :)RAQUELLE + YOMyourownmagic.comig @raquellemantrafb group your own magicSPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereOur Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code MAGIC for a great deal: https://happymammoth.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/your-own-magic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A nostalgic revisit to one of YOM's (and my) most cherished episodes.The root of suffering lies in what we think and believe. But what if I told you there’s a way out? A way out of pain, betrayal, addiction, depression, and anything else that weighs us down. Byron Katie’s four powerful questions offer a path to freedom. When we sit with these questions, we uncover the truth within ourselves... not the truth dictated by the world, but the one that resides deep within us. What’s true within you? Byron Katie gently guides us toward healing our grievances and mending our hearts.SPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereThe Four Questions from "The Work":Is it true? (Yes or no.
