What does it mean to find your true self and actually live from there? In this episode of Everyday Awakening, I sit down with Patrick Marando for an honest, heartfelt conversation about turning inward and the quiet pull that guides us home to ourselves.
Patrick shares his experience of feeling like an avatar in his body, and the awakening that came after: a moment of nothing, and then everything. Together we explore what happens when we stop resisting and let that subtle inner pull live through us.
We talk about how every emotion lives in the body. We also get into practical ways to find stillness in the middle of chaos, and what awakening looks like in everyday life: living your truth, moment by moment.
Patrick is an author, spiritual teacher and psychologist from Sydney, Australia with over 20 years of experience. His spiritual teachings revolve around bridging the gap between spirituality and psychology using his studies in Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Non-Dualism, New Age philosophies and modern psychology, and focus on living from a state of truth. His book Waking Up to Your Self launched July 2024.
If you've been longing to feel more at home in yourself, this conversation is for you.

More from Everyday Awakening
In this episode, Catherine explores what we do when we feel off-balance: pause and turn inward, or push our feelings aside and keep moving? She shares the four neuroplasticity steps she practices and teaches, and a simple in-the-moment tool: saying "I notice anxiety right now" instead of "I am anxious," which creates space so the emotion doesn't define us. But the feeling still needs attention. Emotions we don't feel get pushed down and resurface later, leading to numbness and disconnection. Catherine invites listeners to meet hard feelings with curiosity, or, when time is short, to name them and come back later.
What does it mean to be truly okay with yourself, all of it? In this episode, Brea Segger and I explore what it means to understand ourselves more deeply and what it looks like to bridge two worlds.
What if your relationship with a loved one didn't end when they died? In this episode of Everyday Awakening Catherine shares how she lost her mother while a world away — but a promise they'd made meant the connection didn't end there. A squirrel that won't look away. Leaves that seem to breathe. Signs, she says, aren't coincidence — they're the world talking. In stillness, she finally hears her mother's voice: It was exactly how it was meant to be. We explore the gifts we all carry — clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience — and why they only surface when we're quiet enough to listen. Her message: we are not alone.
I sat down with Suzanne Giesemann to talk about what it means to live from the soul, that place of light, love, and oneness with all that is.
What if we could heal faster than we think possible?
