Staying Human When the World Feels Unrecognisable

Integrated Wisdom ·

2025/12/24

In this Christmas Eve reflection, Tatiana explores how violence, fear, and division emerge when we forget our shared spiritual humanity, and how psychology and neuroscience help explain why presence, compassion, and remembering are essential in times of collective distress. Rather than framing hatred and division as moral failure, this episode offers a grounded reframe: violence arises where remembering collapses: where fear replaces connection, and identity hardens into ideology.

Why Spiritual Growth Isn’t Self-Improvement

Integrated Wisdom ·

2025/12/10

In this episode, Tatiana gently challenges a common misunderstanding: the belief that spiritual growth works the same way as self-improvement. Drawing on psychological insight, lived experience, and a grounded spiritual lens, this conversation explores why treating spirituality as something to optimise or perfect often creates suffering, rather than relieve it. You’ll hear why genuine spiritual growth isn’t about fixing yourself, transcending your humanity, or becoming a better version of who...

Integrated Wisdom ·

2025/11/26

Many people are sensing an inner shift: feeling softer, more intuitive, more honest, or aware that parts of their life no longer fit. This episode explores why these early signs of spiritual awakening are increasing, what they mean psychologically and neurologically, and how they reflect a much larger collective transition toward meaning, coherence, and connection. We look at real-world moments where awakening begins: • the quiet burnout after years of coping • the heaviness after reading the...

2025/10/29

In this episode of Integrated Wisdom, we explore what it means to live “between worlds” — when the inner shift has already begun, but the outer reality hasn’t rearranged itself yet. Many people are experiencing this right now: old identities no longer fit, new purpose is emerging, and yet… clarity isn’t there yet. It can feel disorienting, isolating, or like something is “wrong” — when actually, something deeper is waking up. Tatiana (psychologist + evidence-based spirituality educator) offer...

Are You Ignoring the Whispers of Your Soul?

Integrated Wisdom ·

2025/10/15

In this episode, we explore how subtle soul whispers and life’s quiet nudges can become turning points in your spiritual journey - if you know how to recognise and trust them. Most people imagine spiritual awakenings as lightning bolts: sudden, ecstatic, undeniable. But for most of us, it doesn’t happen that way. It begins quietly. With a whisper. That subtle tug in your chest. The ache that says this isn’t working anymore. The beauty that cracks you open when you least expect it. These momen...

Is It Ethical to Leave Spirituality Out of Therapy?

Integrated Wisdom ·

2025/10/01

This gap raises an important question: is it ethical to leave spirituality out of therapy altogether? In this episode, I explore: ✨ The real cost of ignoring the spiritual dimension in clinical work ✨ Recent research from Australia and beyond showing how spirituality is under-addressed in mental he...

2025/09/17

In a world marked by division, polarization, and rising despair, could spirituality be the missing piece we need to heal — not just individually, but collectively? In this episode of Integrated Wisdom, Tatiana explores why materialism has left us fragmented and hopeless, and how reconnecting with our spiritual essence offers an antidote.

Have you ever wondered whether the “signs” you notice — a feather on your windshield, a song lyric that speaks directly to something you've been thinking about — are just coincidences, or something more? In this episode, Tatiana explores the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality to ask: are spiritual signs real, and if so, how do we make sense of them?

Episode Summary: What happens when artificial intelligence is used to simulate the voice of a beloved spiritual teacher—and that voice is presented as a channelled message? In this episode, Tatiana opens a gentle but clear-hearted inquiry into the ethics of AI-generated spiritual experiences, reflecting on a growing trend she’s observed: AI being used to simulate departed wisdom figures—sometimes even within a sales funnel. Referencing a public example involving the simulated voice of Ram Das...
