We all ask the same questions about our life’s purpose, and the answer is simple: we are here to awaken - and you can choose to awaken right here, right now.
Everyday Awakening with Catherine Duncan is a journey into our heart and soul.
Through deep, transformative conversations with authors, healers, and spiritual leaders, Catherine explores how anyone from all walks of life can experience daily awakening. When you awaken, you understand that you’re living from a place of radiant love.
Drawing from her own life-changing experiences, including near-death encounters, and her work as a hospice chaplain, guiding hundreds as they pass over to the other side, Catherine shares powerful insights into embracing love and awakening to the oneness of life.
We are eternal, timeless, and all connected.
