Summary
Feeling disconnected from religion… yet deeply drawn to something more? Curious about Jesus, but blocked by the language, the dogma, or past experiences? This isn’t about believing the “right” thing. It’s about remembering the truth beneath it all. In this powerful episode, I sit down with spiritual teacher and bestselling author Marianne Williamson to explore Jesus as a mystic, love as a practice, and what spiritual awakening really looks like in modern life.
Marianne shares how to move beyond words like God or Jesus if they feel activating, and instead connect with the universal principles that sit at the heart of all true spirituality. We talk about the current state of the world and the inner work it’s calling us into, why living your values matters more than preaching them, and how discipline and devotion can become anchors for anxiety and emotional overwhelm. We also explore parenting by embodiment, simple daily practices to stay connected to spirit, and what inspired Marianne’s midlife awakening and latest book. If you’re yearning for deeper meaning, less fear, and a love-based way of living that feels inclusive and real, this conversation will open something inside you.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Melissa Ambrisini show. I'm your host, Melissa, best-selling author of |
| 0:07.1 | Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, Comparisonitis and Time Magic. And I'm here to remind you that |
| 0:13.6 | love is sexy, healthy is liberating, and wealthy isn't a dirty word. Each week I'll be getting up |
| 0:20.6 | close and personal with thought leaders |
| 0:22.5 | from around the globe, as well as your weekly dose of motivation so that you can create |
| 0:28.6 | epic change in your own life and become the best version of yourself possible. Are you ready, |
| 0:35.7 | beautiful? |
| 0:43.7 | Hey beautiful. Welcome back to the show. I'm so excited about this episode because I have one of my favorite spiritual teachers back for round two. We have Marianne Williamson. She was first on |
| 0:52.7 | the show at episode 75, way back then. And the title of that |
| 0:59.0 | episode was A Course in Miracles with Marianne Williamson. And I will link to it in the show notes, |
| 1:04.6 | because it was one of the most downloaded episodes of all time. And if you are a spiritual person who wants to live more |
| 1:15.5 | from that place of love, then you would love that episode. And so we have her back, which I'm so |
| 1:22.1 | excited about. And for those of you that have never heard of Maryam Williamson, well, for the past |

| 1:36.2 | four of which have become number one New York Times bestsellers. I mean, wow, right? |
| 1:43.5 | Now, a quote from the mega bestseller, a return to love, |
| 1:47.6 | which if you have not read that book, do yourself a favor. Stop what you're doing and go and read |
| 1:54.0 | that book. That was one of the first books that I read on my spiritual journey, and it was such |
| 1:59.3 | a game changer for me. |
| 2:06.7 | Anyway, I want to read the quote that I absolutely love from that book, and you've probably heard of it. |
| 2:07.8 | And it goes like this, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. |
