Conscious Rebel - Revolution Starts in the Heart

A few weeks ago, I left you in a quiet room. If you were here for the last episode, you’ll remember it — the flatness, the grief that arrived without a story, the watercolor book on the table that may or may not ever mean anything.

And every warning signal I had went off like a firework...

In this episode: Cathy Lee Taylor tells the full story of her near-death experience at thirty-four — collapsing on her bathroom floor with her young son watching, her heart stopping five times, and what she found on the other side of the veil. But this episode isn't about dying. It's about the way she was living before it happened — decades of saying yes when her body said no, performing strength,...

Season 1 · Episode 1 · The Threshold Your restlessness is not a crisis — it is readiness. In this episode: Cathy shares the story of driving past a yoga center sign for two years before finally walking through the door — and what happened when she did.
