EP96 Waking Up: What It Really Means (And Why Some People Go Back to Sleep)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2334310/fan_mail/new] What does it actually mean to "wake up"? In this episode of Coffee Time with Brenda and Mary, we unpack the idea of higher consciousness, why some people have instant awakenings (hello, near death experiences) and others wake up gradually, and why waking up isn't always comfortable. We talk about breaking free of childhood programming, why judgment keeps us asleep, and how meditation, journaling, and reconnecting with nature can open the door to who you really are. Brenda shares her own journey, including the two years it took to finally crack open and remember her true self. If you've ever felt like a robot on repeat (wake up, coffee, work, repeat) this episode is for you. In this episode: 🌿 What "waking up" actually means and why it happens differently for everyone 🧠 How childhood programming keeps us asleep without realizing it 💛 Why judgment and comparison are signs you're still in the box 🧘‍♀️ The 15 minute meditation practice that changed Brenda's life 🌎 Why reconnecting with nature is part of remembering who you are ✨ How to know if you're already awakening (spoiler: if you're asking, you probably are) We are getting close to our 100th episode and this conversation is a perfect reflection of how far we've come.

EP 95 Disclosure Day: Are We Ready to See We Are All One?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2334310/fan_mail/new] This week Mary and I sat down to talk about the movie Disclosure Day, and honestly, it took us somewhere we didn't expect.  We know a movie like this can bring up fear. The title alone might make people brace themselves for something unsettling. But what we found was the opposite. This film is tender (and a bit Hollywoodish- action packed) . It's hopeful. At its heart, it's a story about humanity learning to be more empathetic, to truly listen to each other, and to find common ground even when we feel worlds apart. What stayed with us most is the reminder that we are all one. Not as an abstract idea, but as something we can actually feel and live out in how we treat each other every single day. We talk about why a message like this matters so much right now, why it's worth sitting with the discomfort instead of turning away from it, and what it might look like if we let this kind of understanding guide us forward. Grab your coffee and join us for this one. We think it's an important conversation, and we hope it opens something up in you too.
