·47 min·3 clips

Celia names her phrase: “your deepest wound holds your greatest medicine.”

1. The Spiritual Geek Podcast: Wisdom for Modern Times centers this episode on “reawakening to your soul’s purpose” with Celia Barsby. 2. Sheila Franzen hosts, and Celia Barsby appears as a creative visionary and “personal cosmic soul guide” who works with women seeking inner joy. 3. The episode asks how someone can return to purpose by listening, creating, and staying in alignment with soul. 4. Celia says she spent much of her life in education, including formal teaching, and says she “started teaching when I was age seven.” 5. She describes burnout in education as part of what pushed her to look for meaning and purpose in her own life. 6. Sheila shares that she once created a life-purpose card in a T. Harv Eker workshop that said “assist people in remembering and illuminating their light.” 7. Sheila connects that old card to her podcast work and says the show now functions as a form of teaching. 8. Celia describes finding an old note from around 2020 about doing more on YouTube, then seeing that intention finally become active about two months before the interview. 9. She uses that example to argue that intentions can sit for years before the timing feels right. 10. Celia says she calls her Monday practice “create and listen,” and she treats that as the way she begins her week. 11. She contrasts “stretchy” with “stressed,” and says her word for the year is “expansion.” 12. Celia describes using an art journal, a glass of water, and a pause from work to “regain my elasticity.” 13. Sheila and Celia talk about the difference between the 3D world of houses and cars and the deeper feeling of alignment. 14. Celia says she asks clients to think about a year from now rather than six months because a different season changes the emotional picture. 15. She describes manifestation as calling in a feeling, an emotion, and a “home frequency” rather than only a physical outcome. 16. Celia says she works with the idea that “your deepest wound holds your greatest medicine,” and she names childhood bereavement and divorce after 23 years of marriage. 17. She says she now helps other women by using inner creative and energy work to uncover healing from painful life experiences. 18. The style is conversational, reflective, and practical, with Sheila often echoing Celia’s language back into the discussion. 19. Listeners interested in creativity, intention-setting, and spiritual coaching will likely get the most from it. 20. Listeners wanting fast opinions or a tightly structured business interview may skip it.
