š± What if the pain you carry isnāt just personalābut part of a collective story waiting to be healed together?
In this profoundly moving episode, Brian Smith sits down with spiritual teacher and transformational guide Blaise Kennedy, whose approach to healing breaks the mold. Instead of focusing solely on individual awakening, Blaise invites us to explore the healing that comes from *connection*āto ourselves, to others, and to the collective consciousness.
š„ From trauma recovery and intergenerational pain to the deep wisdom of incarnation and soul-purpose, this conversation unpacks:
- Why most healing practices miss the mark without connection š¤
- How trauma isnāt just stored in our bodiesābut in our families and lineages š§¬
- The overlooked power of feeling *together*āand how it changes everything š
- Why younger generations are demanding more than successātheyāre seeking meaning āØ
- How grief and pain, when witnessed and shared, can become a gateway to awakening š
If youāve ever felt stuck in your healingā¦ if youāre seeking something deeper than self-helpā¦ if you long to *belong* in a world that often feels isolatingāthis episode is for you.
š Listen with your whole heartāand maybe youāll remember what it feels like to be seen, felt, and held.
