Show Notes
Have you ever paused long enough to ask — why am I here? In this deeply reflective conversation, meditation teacher, somatic educator, and mystic Annette Knopp invites us back to one of life's most profound questions: how do we heal the parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our attention?
Annette shares how mindfulness opens the inner space we need to turn toward those unhealed places — with presence, curiosity, and compassion. Healing, she reminds us, isn't something we find outside of ourselves. It has been within us all along. And when we do the quiet, courageous work of going inward, we naturally become a steadier presence for those around us too — holding the rope, as she puts it, so others can find their own way back.
This episode is an invitation to recognize your own "okayness" — to peel back the layers, return to yourself, and rediscover your soul.
Annette and her husband Stephan are the founders of Blue Spirit, a renowned retreat center in Costa Rica. She is the author of the newly released book Mystic Nomad.

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 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.
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.
