Podcast: Beyond This.....Published On: Tue Sep 15 2026
Description: Send us Fan MailSpiritual awakening isn't about becoming more spiritual — it's about finding out who you are underneath everyone you had to be to survive. In this solo episode, Matilda unpacks why "awakening" so often feels like grief rather than light: the sunk-cost grip of identities we've spent years building, the pain of deconstructing roles that once kept us safe, and why none of this requires religion, belief, or a spiritual label to be real. Whether you're mid-unravelling right now or just starting to notice the cracks, this episode ends with a guided meditation — You Are Safe While You're Becoming — to remind your body you're not falling apart. You're just becoming.As always Matilda offers new predictions for the coming months towards the end of the episodeMatilda's WebsiteSpilling the Tea with Laurie RiversLICENCE FOR MUSIC ON YOUTUBE ESXZO0FGVBYLMWFTSupport the show
