Returning with Rebecca Campbell

Thanks for listening over this last 12 months - I'm taking a break to finish off my new book. So I look forward to Returning with you again soon when season 4 starts!

IN THIS EPISODE I’M RETURNING WITH DANETTE MAY. In this profound episode titled “Finding the Gift in Grief,” I had the privilege of speaking with Danette May, whose journey through life’s extremes embodies themes of loss, resilience, spiritual connection, and the evolution of the self. Danette, a beacon of positivity with a compelling story, shared her deeply personal experiences with me, taking me from her idyllic childhood close to nature and animals to the heart-wrenching loss of her son, which profoundly transformed her life and purpose. Danette recounted the intimate connection she has always felt with the world beyond the physical, a sentiment that has been deeply rooted in her since childhood. She shared vivid memories of her upbringing on a mini-farm, her early awareness of a calling to connect people with nature, and a profound sense of being known and loved by a higher power. Her narrative is a testament to the strength and guidance she has drawn from these connections, especially during the darkest times of her life. SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self. The Soul Inquiry prompt for this episode is: What are you clinging to in fear of nothing coming in to take its place? Now it’s time to commit to a grounded action: What is one baby step you can take in that direction?

I’M RETURNING WITH THE BEAUTIFUL HARNAAM KAUR. In this heartfelt exchange, I had the privilege of conversing with Harnaam Kaur, a beacon of light in the realms of modeling, motivational speaking, and anti-bullying activism. Harnaam graciously shared her voyage towards self-love and empowerment amidst the challenges of living with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). She illuminated the path that led her to become a motivational speaker, underscoring the pivotal role of personal development and mental health in her life. Harnaam bravely opened up about her encounters with bullying, revealing how she stood up to her bullies with grace and strength. She offered wisdom on navigating the tumultuous waters of online negativity, emphasising the art of choosing battles with discernment. Our conversation delved into the sanctity of her daily routines with her beloved dogs, and her journey into the realms of spirituality and religion. Harnaam spoke of religion’s imprint on her childhood and her courageous questioning of religious norms. Despite her quiet and reserved nature, she draws inspiration from the world around her, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and meaningful self-dialogue. Harnaam’s experiences with the spirit realm are profound—encounters with the souls of those passed and out-of-body experiences mark her spiritual journey, continuing to shape her understanding and connection with the universe. We wrapped our exchange with a Soul Inquiry prompt, inviting reflection on embodying the leadership qualities we seek in others—a fitting close to our soul-stirring dialogue. SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self. The Soul Inquiry prompt for this episode is: How can you be the leader you wish you had? Now it’s time to commit to a grounded action: What is one baby step you can take in that direction?

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE THREE WAYS TO MAKE AN INTUITIVE DECISION QUICKLY Every decision we make takes us closer to, or further away from ourselves, our soul, and our alignment. Today, we’re exploring how to plug into our intuition to get a clear hit quickly. So much of life’s discomfort comes when we’re stuck in the in-between. Sometimes we feel stuck in this paralysis because we’re not able to choose or know what we truly want. From changing jobs, moving house, whether to stay or end a relationship, to simple things like choosing an outfit or what to eat for lunch today, knowing how to tap into our intuition can be such a helpful tool for navigating life and its endless change. In this episode I’m going to be sharing my favorite ways to connect in and receive clear guidance to get to the answer you need. “Intuition is pointless unless you act on it. So put those baby steps into action, always. I promise it can be truly life changing.” SOUL INQUIRY The Soul Inquiry prompts for this episode are: What decision are you being called to make? From the options, what would light you up the most? Now it's time to commit to a grounded action: What is one baby step you can take to embrace that intuitive sense a little bit more today? KEY TIMESTAMPS 00:58 Opening Sacred Space. 03:24 What is intuition and how it can help us make decisions. 07:00 1. What lights you up? 09:15 2. Flip a coin and notice your gut reaction. 11:14 3. Speak it. 15:46 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE A DEEPLY PERSONAL POEM. Finally surrendering to the call of the soul. Letter To A Lightworker is from my first book, Light Is The New Black. This poem acted as a manifesto for myself. A testament to the faith, inner knowing, and purpose that each one of us carries. It is a reminder that we are supported in our journey and that our experiences, both beautiful and painful, shape us into who we are meant to be. Whether you’re feeling on track or lost, this episode seeks to assure you that you’re exactly where you need to be. “I bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open because the world needs you open.” WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/8hJrE1VJSDI KEY TIMESTAMPS 00:35 A Poem: Letter To A Lightworker. 04:06 Finally surrendering to the call of my soul. 05:04 Receiving Letter To A Lightworker. 05:47 A manifesto to myself. 06:17 When this poem came to me and where it came from within me. 10:36 How Letter To A Lightworker kept me on track.

I SHARE MY EXPERIENCE OF STEPPING OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET The journey can be both isolating and empowering. I know how challenging it can be when you first awaken or open yourself up to the deeper questions of life. I’ve been there and know, from experience, it can feel like living a double life. Today, I share how I began, little by little, stepping out of the spiritual closet. The work for me was really around weaving my worlds together, knowing and trusting that not only would I find like-hearted people – but also that I would attract those people into my life too. My hope in hearing my story is that you’ll be encouraged to embrace and embody who you truly are too. “If you don’t let the world see you, your people will just be walking straight by you, unable to recognize you when they’re right there, right in front of you.” SOUL INQUIRY The Soul Inquiry prompts for this episode are: How are you being called to let yourself be seen a little bit more deeply? Now it's time to commit to a grounded action: What is one baby step you can take in that direction? KEY TIMESTAMPS 01:33 Opening Sacred Space. 02:01 My first awakening. 02:58 Living in two worlds and the sense of isolation. 07:57 Times have changed and so have we. 09:34 Using the double life to leap deeper into the soul calling. 11:09 Finding the courage to step into who I really was from a soul perspective. 14:02 The spiritual striptease - little by little stepping out of the closet. 17:07 Finding our people. 20:20 The more you do it the freer you will feel. 21:14 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. Today, I'm returning with the inspirational Maude Hirst. Together we explore whether reaching rock bottom can truly activate our purpose. While many know Maude as an actress in the popular historical drama series Vikings, her story stretches way beyond our TV screens. Like so many of us, Maude's life was transformed by hitting rock bottom. When many key parts of her life came crumbling down all at once, Maude found solace and purpose in mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, her learnings of which she now shares through her online membership community EnergyRise. My conversation with Maude explores so many themes around the power of surrendering, the importance of creating space to listen deeply and be seen, and how nature can help us to attune to the multiple rhythms that life holds us in. This episode is truly a journey of rediscovery, resilience, and resonance. “Don’t be afraid of the black hole. The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to just let it fall away. The quicker you do that, the quicker you start to rebuild.” - Maude Hirst KEY TIMESTAMPS: 01:28 Opening Sacred Space. 01:58 Slowing down to your own pace versus the collective pace. 06:23 The unraveling of creativity. 08:23 Expression at different times in our lives. 14:52 Playing a more authentic role. 16:59 The crumbling. 18:09 The calling. 20:48 The whispers of intuition. 24:58 The river of life - finding the flow state. 28:08 Growing up a deep empath. 30:35 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts. SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self. Today’s Soul Inquiry prompt is: What in your life is calling for a change in pace?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode, I invite you back into the garden. Reconnecting with ourselves, each other and Mother Earth. Today, we explore and unpack the profound sense of separation many of us feel from ourselves, each other and from the Earth itself. Has our disconnection from the earth as our Mother, Her seasons, cyclic ways and ever-changing state caused the problems that humanity is facing on this planet today? Now more than ever, we need to acknowledge the sacred that is here on earth - above us, below us, around us and within us. My hope for this episode is that you reconnect with nature and weave this connection back into your daily life. “Now more than ever we need to see the sacred in all things. To notice the breathtaking beauty that is all around us.” - Rebecca Campbell KEY TIMESTAMPS: 02:32: Opening Sacred Space. 03:13: The definition of ‘nature’. 04:02: The real separation so many of us feel. 04:45: We need to see the sacred in all things. 05:13: We all have indigenous Earth-based traditions in our ancestry. 06:19: Our ancient Earth traditions have been severed and forgotten. 07:26: Still, nature cradles, heals and calls us to return to Her. 08:13: Humans are one with the Earth itself. 08:47: Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts. SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self. Today’s Soul Inquiry prompt is: When you feel disconnected, what helps you reconnect?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode, a poem that helped me gather the courage to be seen. Answering the call. I remember the exact moment when I was writing this chapter of Light Is The New Black. It came in fully formed: You Are Not For Everyone. I had received the guidance to write a book to support light workers. To help them answer the call within them, to say yes to their purpose and reconnect to a life that lights them up. But I wasn’t being courageous myself, I was afraid of being seen and heard, and of not being accepted. So, You Are Not For Everyone guided me through a challenging time. My hope for this episode is that it encourages you to, little by little, begin to start sharing who you really are with the world. “If we follow what lights us up, we light up the world without even trying” - Rebecca Campbell KEY TIMESTAMPS: 00:27: A poem: You Are Not For Everyone. 01:30: Where this piece of writing came from within me. 02:21: Answering the call to support light workers in saying yes to their purpose. 03:30: Being held back and afraid of the haters and negative comments. 04:20: My deep yearning to share my voice, my creations, my gifts and to find my people. 04:43: Your people from a soul perspective. 05:17: Embracing who you really are. 05:52: If you’re feeling out of alignment… MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Full Episode Transcript Book: Light Is The New Black by Rebecca Campbell CONNECT WITH REBECCA: Website - https://rebeccacampbell.me/practice/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccacampbell_author/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/rebeccacampbellauthor YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/RebeccaCampbell

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode, we explore one of my favorite topics - intuition. What's the real key to trusting your inner voice? Today, we dive deep into our intuitive senses, exploring how the soul communicates with us and the diverse ways our intuition speaks. I believe that we are all naturally intuitive - we've all had those gut feelings, those moments of inexplicable knowing. While many of us may have been raised in ways that have caused us to switch off from it or doubt it, we can all still tap into it. So, in this episode I share my biggest tip for trusting it. The more we exercise this 'muscle', the clearer its voice becomes. I’ve seen firsthand how this key has helped thousands of people truly understand and deepen their intuition - even the skeptics… “I find that understanding how you receive your intuition is such a big milestone in trusting it.” - Rebecca Campbell KEY TIMESTAMPS: 00:55 Opening Sacred Space. 01:30 We are all naturally, innately intuitive. 02:32 The key to trusting your intuition - the body’s senses. 04:26 Clairvoyance - clear seeing. 05:37 Clairaudience – clear hearing. 07:03 Claircognizance – clear knowing. 08:28 Clairsentience – clear feeling. 09:49 How I receive my intuition. 11:33 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In this episode I share words that felt like medicine for my soul. Exploring the initiation of birth, not just for the child, but for the mother as well. Today, I share some of my most favorite words I’ve ever written, a poem, The Moment Of Your Birth. I wrote it at a time when it felt like the whole world was being birthed and dying and being blasted wide open. I saw how fleeting and precious this life is, how huge it is for any soul to be embodied and for all the things that need to be in place for that moment to happen. I was really grasping the words to describe the ineffable experience that is birth and life and death. So, this poem is my attempt to put words around the enormous mystery of being a soul, having a human experience from the first breath until the last. “Ever since I was a girl, I was captivated by this great journey we're on, by birth and death, and by these huge experiences that we all have that are so extreme and yet the most natural, normal thing in the world.” - Rebecca Campbell KEY TIMESTAMPS: 00:32 A poem: The Moment Of Your Birth 02:21 Where this poem came from within me. 03:23 Working out who I was after the birth of my son. 05:51 Grasping the words to describe the ineffable experiences of birth, life and death. 07:38 The enormous mystery of being a soul.

Today, we consciously close the year together. Deep and real transformations can happen when we take the time to properly end the year that was. Let me be straight up, I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions. What I AM passionate about is properly taking the time to really consciously close out a year to allow a fresh, new energy to generate. It’s like the end is also the beginning. I encourage you to receive this episode as an invitation to reflect and honor the journey you’ve been on this year before you start to create a container of dreams for what’s to come, guided by the whispers of your soul.
