The Three Petals Goes Live
Hello everyone, and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to The Three Petals blog and podcast page. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally launched the first episode out into the world, and I have to admit, it makes me want to squeal with joy. This project has been simmering for years, and I truly believe what I have to offer can make a meaningful contribution to the vast landscape of spiritual traditions and modern transformational work. Whether you’re a dedicated spiritual seeker or simply someone who wants to evolve into a more conscious, compassionate human being, I believe there’s something here for you.
We’re living in challenging times, and let’s be honest—it can feel like we’re all just trying to stay afloat in the chaotic seas of modern life. Sometimes we don’t need a full-blown rescue mission, just a well-timed life preserver to help us stay buoyant. Over the next few years (at least), this podcast will walk through the spiritual journey from start to…well, not quite finish because the journey never truly ends. We’ll explore grounded, practical tools and insights to help you navigate your inner landscape while offering reflections on the larger collective awakening that’s unfolding around us.
Today we begin with Episode 0, because, true confession, I already recorded Episodes 1 through 4 and didn’t want to go back and redo all the introductions. This first episode sets the tone for the entire series. A central theme throughout the podcast and blog will be doing the necessary “Me” work, so that when we show up in the “We” spaces of community and collective action, we’re not dragging our unresolved egoic baggage along for the ride. We’ll do this by exploring the deep interconnection between consciousness, the body, and our relationships, what I call the three petals of awakening.
This path isn’t about quick fixes, weekend workshops, or skimming through self-help books (though those can certainly be part of the mix). Real transformation means diving into the nitty gritty of our conditioning, facing the beliefs and patterns we inherited as children and deciding which ones we want to keep and which ones we’re ready to release. It’s about uncovering our authentic voices, discovering our truest selves, and bringing that presence into the world, not to preach or perform, but to play. To co-create something beautiful with the millions of others walking this path, whether we ever meet them or not. So let’s take this seriously, and also not so seriously. Let’s play, wholeheartedly and with abandon. Because we’re here to awaken…and we’re here to dance.
