Episode 21: The Awakened Way to the Miraculous with Suzanne Giesemann

Today we dive into true transformation, bittersweet awakening, and never-ending miracles with a woman I have admired for many years, Suzanne Giesemann. 

Suzanne is an author, spiritual teacher, and medium recognized on Mind Body Spirit Magazine’s list of “100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People”. A former US Navy commander who served as an aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she now practices 21st-century spirituality, which merges the latest scientific understanding about consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. 

Suzanne channels this wisdom into sharing what she calls, the Awakened Way – a path to knowing who you are and why you’re here. She’s got a huge following on YouTube with more than 10 million views. In her addictive videos, she helps kindred souls shift to living a consciously connected and divinely guided life. 

I honestly felt my own profound shifts from her great wisdom recently when I was a guest on her fabulous podcast, Messages of Hope. Suzanne was also featured  in our Your Year of Miracles program as a guest expert, and she had me at “Hello”.

With her latest book The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life, Suzanne reaches to help millions of others go from an emptiness that can’t be filled to a fullness that can’t be contained.

In this episode, Suzanne speaks courageously and beautifully about how the tragic death of her daughter, Susan, inspired her insight that we are not only human but also souls, and the joy of reconnecting to Susan in the spirit world. She shares her insights into the reality of the spirit world as a higher consciousness beyond the popular woo-woo and lays out the stepping stones to access this higher consciousness which is always there to guide you. 

Most importantly, Suzanne gives practical guidance for those struggling on their path to accessing the higher consciousness and entering the state of just being, which is unconditional love.

“You’re part of one big web of connections, not just with each other here, but with the non-physical world. And once you start recognizing that, then the miracles that you show everybody about become commonplace.”

–Suzanne Giesemann

  • “Life is a process. It never ends. We’re all work in progress.” – Suzanne Giesemann
  • “Do not despair. You are never alone. And you are not only human. It’s only when you think you are only human that you give in to fear and helplessness and hopelessness. But as you expand your consciousness…you realize that this earthly experience is exactly that, an experience and that ultimately all is well.” – Suzanne Giesemann
  • “When you come to truly know we do not die, death is a tragedy here within this story…Yet it happens to all of us, some kind of death in the family eventually. But once you come to know, we go on and we will meet again and we can converse with them now it truly changes everything.” – Suzanne Giesemann
  • “There must be a better way. There is – the Awakened Way” – Suzanne Giesemann
