·30 min·2 clips

Elaine says she heard, "let go of the things you don’t need," and left New Jersey for Vicki’s place.

1. Miracle Voices features Elaine Falvey talking about A Course in Miracles, forgiveness, and a move from Mexico to Flemington, New Jersey. 2. Matthew McCabe and Tam Morgan host Elaine Falvey, and Vicki Poppy is part of the New Jersey living arrangement she describes. 3. The episode asks how Elaine’s practice of ACIM changed her relationships, her listening, and her sense of where she was meant to live. 4. Elaine says she found the ACIM book in a Hannaford supermarket in Maine around 2008, where it was wrapped in plastic with a "$12" sticker. 5. She says she took the book home, thought "this is like the Bible," and then shelved it for two years before meeting Lisa Natoli and Bill Free. 6. Elaine names Lisa Natoli and Bill Free as her first teachers and says they came from Maine to her Unity Church in Massachusetts. 7. She describes Bill Free spotting her at church, calling her business truck a sign that she could attend the Friday 10:30 group, and she went the next week. 8. Elaine says the group felt like "a party" and that the whole life started changing immediately after she joined. 9. She traces a long "jealousy triangle" with her mother, then with partners and an ex-wife, and says she did not understand it at first. 10. Elaine says she tried self-help books, AA, and CODA before recognizing codependency as part of what was happening. 11. She says she and a partner started doing the course together every morning for years, and the pattern slowly shifted. 12. Elaine says a trip to Canada, where she met the partner’s ex-wife, became part of the healing process. 13. She describes going to the Foundation for Inner Peace 50th anniversary party and feeling strongly drawn to leave the relationship and move. 14. Elaine says the guidance came as clear language: "let go of the things you don't need, pack the things you need and don't worry about the rest." 15. She says she packed quickly, moved to New Jersey, and told Jack the relationship was done. 16. Elaine says the move helped her see the innocence in her mother, which changed their relationship from suspicion to affection. 17. The conversation treats guidance as a lived practice, with Elaine describing early-morning messages, "a knowing," and listening for direction. 18. Matthew McCabe and Tam Morgan keep the tone conversational, using follow-up questions about guidance, memory, and practical ego-storm resets. 19. People interested in A Course in Miracles, forgiveness stories, and relationship healing would likely value this episode. 20. Listeners wanting theory without personal testimony or life-change details might skip it.
