In this episode of Awaken Your Power, Keri talks with Maureen Spielman—spiritual psychology coach and host of the Mystical Sisterhood podcast—about what it really means to live from unity consciousness in a world that feels more divided than ever. They explore how our inner work ripples out into the collective, why women and the reclaimed feminine are so central to this time on the planet, and how creativity, community, and liminal “in-between” spaces become initiations into a more awake life. Maureen also shares candidly about her own cancer journey as a turning point that stripped away old personas and unprocessed resentment, inviting a deeper level of honesty, self-compassion, and spiritual growth. Together, she and Keri challenge the shiny, “love and light” version of awakening and talk about the real cost—and real gifts—of saying yes to a path of consciousness. In This Episode, We Explore: What unity consciousness actually is and how it contrasts with dualistic “right/wrong, winner/loser” thinking Why we can see both deep cultural division and an unprecedented rising of light and collaboration at the same time How our inner work on shame, guilt, anger, and self-judgment creates harmony in our relationships and the wider collective The idea of the microcosm and macrocosm: how each of us is a small version of what’s happening in the whole Why women and the reclaimed feminine are so central right now—sisterhood, mentoring, eldership, and cyclical wisdom Moving from competition and scarcity to collaboration and “there’s room for all of us” Creativity as a feminine, mystical force—how everything from cooking to conversation can become alchemy Liminal spaces: the uncomfortable “in-between” times when one life is over and the next hasn’t formed yet Learning to stay with discomfort (the “mosquito on the nose” in yin yoga, the bugs on the yoga mat) instead of constantly seeking comfort The real cost of awakening: illness, loss, breakdown, and the crumbling of identities we thought we needed Why Maureen wouldn’t go back to who she was before cancer and deep inner work Sovereignty and power: how we’ve been conditioned to give our power away—and how to start calling it back The difference between being “normal” and being truly natural, in your own voice and rhythm Key Themes & Takeaways Awakening isn’t tidy or glamorous. It’s more often about being stripped down, cracked open, and invited to unlearn who you thought you had to be. Inner and outer are mirrors. As we heal our inner critic, judgment, or resentment, our relationships and communities shift, too. The feminine is rising. Not as domination over the masculine, but as a rebalancing: community over hierarchy, cycles over straight lines, mentorship over lone-wolf heroics. Creativity is everyday magic. True magic is changing how we see the world—and helping others see differently, too. Your power is yours to reclaim. Notice where you hand your authority to experts, influencers, or systems, and gently call that power back to your own inner knowing.
