What if enlightenment is not something you achieve, but something you remember? In this episode of I Awaken, host Archita sits down with spiritual teacher, author, and podcaster Dean Graves to explore awakening as a lived, human experience rather than a distant spiritual goal.

This conversation is for anyone who feels successful on the outside but quietly unfulfilled inside. Dean breaks down how awareness, surrender, and responsibility shape the enlightenment process, and how real awakening shows up in daily life through relationships, work, stress, and emotional responses.

About the Guest:Dean Graves is a spiritual teacher, author, and podcaster with over 25 years of experience in meditation and mindfulness. His work focuses on self-healing, awareness, and conscious participation in life.

Key Takeaways:

• Enlightenment is measured by happiness, not external success

• Stress reveals where false self-identities are still operating

• Awakening begins when awareness turns inward

• Meditation trains awareness to move from inner stillness into daily life

• Problems become teachers when seen through conscious awareness

At some point, many of us give away our power quietly through silence, compliance, and inherited expectations. In this episode of I Awaken, host Yusuf is joined by spiritual coach and master teacher Toni LaMotta to explore how unconscious vows shape our lives.

Drawing from her 16 years living under a vow of obedience in a convent, Dr. Toni explains how inner authority gets muted and how listeners can begin listening to their own body, intuition, and inner compass. This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from their own voice and ready to reclaim self trust.

About the Guest:Toni LaMotta is a spiritual coach, master teacher, and internationally recognized speaker. She spent 16 years in a convent and now teaches practical methods for awakening inner authority and self trust.

Key Takeaways:

• Unconscious vows often form in childhood, not just religion

• Anxiety and indecision signal a disconnected inner compass

• The body offers clear guidance before the mind does

• Fear does not disappear, but discernment grows

• Reclaiming inner authority is a gradual, playful process

What if nothing is “wrong” with your life, but with the lens you’re using to live it? On I Awaken, host Archita sits down with Susan Michel to explore how emotional pain can feel like identity, and how healing begins when you stop fighting your feelings and start listening to what they’re trying to reveal.

This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels heavy, numb, or reactive inside. You’ll hear practical steps to slow down, process triggers, and apply A Course in Miracles as daily mind training that helps you choose love over fear, one moment at a time.

Susan Michel is the author of Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity. She is a suicide prevention advocate and a two-time suicide attempt survivor who teaches A Course in Miracles.

• Try a quiet morning pause to notice what you actually feel

• Journal freely to move emotions from your mind onto paper

• Treat triggers as teachers and look inward before blaming outward

• Notice common blocks like abandonment and betrayal patterns

• Ask: “What is this protecting me from feeling?” then choose one loving action

In this episode of I Awaken, host Archita sits down with Stanley F. Bronstein for a grounded conversation on awareness and the skill of “telling it like it is” without turning honesty into self-punishment. Stanley shares the exact moment (February 1, 2009) he stopped negotiating with his health and chose personal responsibility.

This episode is for anyone who wants real, sustainable change, whether it’s weight, habits, mindset, or follow-through. You’ll hear practical tools for interrupting shame spirals, building discipline, and staying consistent long-term through commitment and small daily actions.

Stanley F. Bronstein is an attorney, CPA, life coach, and author. He lost over 220 pounds through real food, daily walking, and mindset work, and has maintained the results for nearly 17 years.

• Ask: “If I keep going like this, where will I be in 5 years?” and answer honestly

• Use the STOP method: Stop, Think, Observe, Proceed when shame shows up

• Reframe honesty as self-respect, not self-attack

• Remove decisions by committing in advance (healthy food in, movement daily)

• Focus on persistence over perfection: reset fast, keep moving forward

In this episode of I Awaken, host Archita sits with Caleb Matthews to unpack what it really looks like to hear God, not as a dramatic moment, but as a steady, learnable way of living.

This conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, second-guesses their inner voice, or keeps asking, “Is that God, or is that my anxiety?” You will walk away with simple practices for building a calmer inner atmosphere, testing what you hear by its fruit, and using dreams as practical clues instead of confusion.

Caleb Matthews has explored both New Age spaces and Bible college environments. He has spoken to thousands, interpreted thousands of dreams, and shares practical tools for discernment, purpose, and spiritual clarity.

• Build “MPA” by stepping outside your usual environment and widening perspective

• Speak to your soul when chaos rises and choose peace intentionally

• Expect God’s voice in quiet nudges, not constant big moments

• Use a “fruit test” to spot fear dressed as intuition

• Write dreams down, ask “What is this a picture of?”, then look for patterns

• Try a 3-minute daily quiet practice to train clarity
