Trailer: Designed To Be Awake

Designed to be Awake is a soul forward podcast by psychotherapist and writer Mick Kubiak. Mick invites listeners into a deeper, more conscious way of experiencing Life. With poetic insight and unflinching honesty, Mick explores the subject of awakening to who we truly are, the Self that lives eternally and pervasively at the heart of each and every one of our lives, beyond the reach and comprehension of our limited egos. She explores what it looks like, on a practical level, to wake up, surrender to what is, and live with full presence. Each weekly solo episode weaves together psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, offering reflections that bring the seemingly heady experience of enlightenment down to earth. This is a space for anyone who wants more from life than surface-level fixes for temporary problems (spoiler alert: all problems are temporary). If you’re on a path of inner work, healing, or awakening, this show will feel like coming home.

Transcript

Okay,

Here's the thing.

What if enlightenment is not some far away concept happening to someone else somewhere else,

But actually something that belongs to you as a possibility.

As something that is wired deep in your bones,

In your cells.

You are wired for it.

I'm going to be talking about my own journey,

Where I come from,

How I got to be who I am,

And my obsession with enlightenment and enlightened people.

Making a good argument for people to access an enlightened state of consciousness now.

What if you don't need to put a bunch of tasks or a bunch of time in between you and an enlightened state of consciousness?

What if you're already there?

What if you don't need to wait?

Do it now.

Get it,

Locate it in yourself,

And do it.

Because it's who you are.

It's not out there somewhere.

It's not at the bottom of a checklist.

It's who you are now.
