Shownotes
Season One is a wrap!
I thank those of you that have listened to me as I figure out this podcast thing! I have learned much about everything podcasting and look forward to growing even more as I continue this journey.
If you listened this season you probably heard bits about my purpose and exploring Oneness; about miracles and coincidences, signs about manifesting; you’ve heard guests talking about connection with dogs and jobs and health and communities – and it’s all been perfect! In connectedness there is no wrong way, so even if I thought I could have done something “better”, I’ll surrender to the idea that it’s all just fine as is.
So what’s next?
Definitely more podcasts!
- I’m going to switch my format to serial instead of seasons, but as a listener – you shouldn’t see (um, hear) any difference!
- I’ll have more guests and am busy lining them up right now.
- Including one about shared death experiences – you’ve probably heard of near death experiences, well this is a whole new level! Listen to this podcast to hear more about it…
- I want to answer more of your questions – so ask! You can fill out this form here
- And of course, so many ideas and tips on how you can live easier and in a more meaningful way – however you define it.
I’m so glad we’ve had this time together . . . so long season one!
PS did you ever wonder about my weird episode titles? The first 6 episodes or so? They’re all from songs, and the songs were inspired by what I was talking about. As i was outlining or getting the episode ready, those are the songs that came to me. In one of the episodes I talk about the fact I’ve found myself singing a lot since I quit my job. And I do, LOL, I walk around the house singing. I mean I sing the weirdest things, not just songs, to the cats and the dogs and the chickens and the fireplace and anything else. So there it is – I’m thinking life is a song when you’re happy 🙂 🙂
Can you name all the songs? Also, how about my sign off on this episode just above, what is that from? Contact me

Transcripts
Welcome to the Connectedness Podcast.
rev karen:Just as you might have guessed, I talk about connection in this
rev karen:podcast, our connection with everything in the world around us.
rev karen:We're connected, whether we see it or not.
rev karen:Whether it's your connection with your dog and your.
rev karen:Or your connection with your God.
rev karen:Also, I talk about things that are more abstract, like your connections with your
rev karen:career or your land, your community, your family, your emotions, your body Life
rev karen:is truly all about connections, and the sooner we recognize this, the sooner we
rev karen:get to have an easier, more enjoyable.
rev karen:I am gonna talk about these connections through different lenses, but things
rev karen:like synchronicities and coincidences, or everyday little bits of magic or
rev karen:miracles that we tend to dismiss, it's important we pay attention to
rev karen:all of this to help us, like I said, live an easier, more satisfying life.
rev karen:So welcome to the show.
rev karen:I'm your host, Reverend Karen in Cleveland.
):Hello and welcome to the season finale of season one.
):I can't believe I've finished recording podcasts for an entire season.
):There has been a lot of.
):Growth from my part along the way, I've changed some things.
):I didn't do all the episodes I thought I was going to do.
):I added some episodes.
):I didn't know I was going to do.
):And it's been a lot of fun.
):I, I love it.
):And I've gotten some nice comments from some of you.
):Thank you so much for listening to season one or parts of season one.
):Whatever it was that you heard I'm.
):Honestly, super appreciative of it.
):Now, if you did listen to season one, you heard some things about why I do this.
):Why am I podcasting?
):And why do I want happiness for everyone?
):Why does everyone deserve to be happy?
):And.
):Why am I so.
):Invested in it.
):I don't remember exactly what I said, but I will tell you.
):There's some selfish reasons to it.
):I mean, I really want.
):Everyone to be happy because.
):I have come to realize we don't have to dwell in the suffering and the.
):Misery that I was in.
):A lot of my life.
):That it can be better and it doesn't have to be that hard to get better, but also
):it's, there's selfish reasons I haven't talked a lot about this aspect of it, but.
):As a person that picks up on the feelings of the world,
):some people call us and paths.
):Some people call us highly sensitive people.
):Whatever it is.
):I do pick up on.
):Other people, animal emotions and feelings.
):And for that reason alone, it makes me feel better if you feel better.
):So.
):There's my main selfish reason for wanting you to be happy and feel good.
):Some of the other things I've got into the season has been exploring oneness
):and what it is and what is connectedness.
):Certainly I talked all about miracles and coincidences and signs and
):manifesting and trusting yourself.
):And one episode, I actually talked a little bit deeper about what
):is the connection between mindset and spiritual practices and law
):of attraction and connectedness,
):because sometimes it's hard for us to understand.
):The link between everything.
):I think I mentioned that connectedness is my top Clifton strength.
):I probably mentioned it a couple of times because mainly because I was a
):little shocked the first time I saw it.
):But that helps me understand the links between things.
):And so I'm just trying to help everyone else understand these
):links because I fully believe.
):It is these links between things that always exist.
):It's just that we don't always know they're there or see them or feel them,
):but it's this connection with everything that really helps us out in our lives.
):If we want it to be an easy life, a successful life, a.
):Purposeful or more meaningful life.
):It's these links that do that.
):Essentially I've talked all about connectedness, always to be easier
):to be in connection with the one.
):And then of course I had some guests this season as well.
):I had Lola talk about her connection with her body and her dog.
):And Mary talked about her connection with her purpose and her job and her dogs.
):Sherry.
):Talked about.
):, her community, her connection with her community.
):that was a lot of fun and I think I've had the best feedback from the guest episodes.
):I understand.
):It's more fun to listen to a couple of people than just one person.
):So guess what that means.
):Coming up.
):What's next, right?
):What's coming up next season.
):First I want to say I'm actually not doing seasons anymore.
):So the end of season one, let's just say season one was my beginning.
):My experiment, my.
):Foray into the podcasting and I'm going to start with cereal podcasting.
):What does that mean to you?
):Nothing.
):It means you still get to see my podcast and hit, play and play it.
):I'm just not doing an official season.
):It's just going to be cereal and I'm going to have more guests and I'm going
):to go according to themes . There's a lot of things that are strategy on my
):end, as far as how I plan them out, what I'm going to talk about each week.
):But really on your end, it means you just hit the play button and
):it's all pretty much the same.
):Some of the topics.
):That I will absolutely go deeper into are going to be mindset and law of attraction,
):spiritual practices, mindfulness.
):Anything that's about soul evolution, anything that's about
):the growth, anything that's about connectedness and our consciousness.
):I am lining up more guests right now, not every episode, but
):there's going to be more guests than I've had this past season.
):I'm going to be guesting on other podcasts as well.
):You might accidentally hear me on someone else's podcast.
):Some of the topics.
):Are going to be a little bit of stretch for some people.
):You've probably heard of near-death experiences.
):Well, I'm going to have an expert talk about shared death experiences.
):The first time I heard about it, I heard him talk about it.
):I was just kind of floored.
):I had no idea.
):Until I started thinking about my previous experiences.
):So shared death experience is when someone, a living person.
):Is somehow drawn into the death experience of a loved one or someone
):they know, or maybe a patient or a client , one of the stories is a,
):a mother I believe in the United States and their child in Australia.
):And let's be fair.
):I might have the country's wrong.
):I might have the, genders wrong.
):I just know it's a parent and a child.
):And I think it's Australia anyways, the child is dying and at the same
):time the child is dying the parent.
):And I believe it's the mother.
):Walks towards the light with the child.
):Okay.
):It's almost dreamlike.
):But then they find out later on.
):Yes.
):That is the time.
):Or we've certainly heard about these kinds of experiences with twins before.
):Or being woken up in the middle of the night and knowing something's wrong.
):And then one of your loved ones, something has happened to them.
):Sometimes it happens with clients and caregivers to one story is a mother
):laying with her son in the bed, I believe.
):And she does walk with a child into the light.
):So shared death experiences.
):How does it fit with connectedness?
):You might ask.
):It's all about our soul evolution.
):It's all about our soul growth and consciousness and
):what our connections are.
):Our consciousness lives on our soul lives on.
):The very first time, I really, really, really understood.
):That was the first time I talked to a animal that had passed on now being
):an animal communicator and talking with animals, that's kind of a stretch
):as it is, or it was for me at first psych what we can talk to animals and
):I'm not getting into that right now.
):I'll get into it later.
):Another episode.
):But when you talk to an animal that's passed over.
):Their body is dead.
):You know, they're dead.
):They're in the ground.
):And.
):It's.
):A tricky moment.
):When.
):You've been raised.
):In this materialistic world.
):That talks about.
):The body dying and that's it.
):Now all the religions treat dying and death and our soul
):a little bit differently.
):But to actually realize for myself, That this animal I was talking to is dead.
):Is technically dead.
):But yet they're telling me all about their experience during
):their life with their person.
):It just made me wonder.
):Then what else is possible?
):Clearly it's true for animals.
):So it must be true for people because.
):Oh, yeah.
):We're animals too.
):So what else is possible?
):What else?
):Is going on in that world.
):Where that animal is existing right now, as I communicate with them.
):Back to the connectedness aspect.
):We're still connected.
):Not only are we connected with people, animals, everything, when we're alive.
):But even after they pass on that connection.
):Link does not break.
):It never breaks.
):You can't see them.
):Physically.
):But it's still there.
):All right.
):So that's just one of the things I'm getting into.
):In the next, let's just call it next a year.
):Okay.
):I have a whole 12 months in the next year of , of hopefully
):weekly or biweekly episodes.
):And they're going to be interesting.
):They're going to have guest experts and guests every day.
):People telling stories and talking about this connection.
):Our connectedness, how we can take advantage of it, what we can do with it.
):How we can live better lives.
):I look forward to.
):Connecting with you later.
):I hope you go to my contact page, where I have Karen podcasts.com.
):And let me know, what's been your favorite episode.
):What kind of questions do you have?
):What do you want to hear more about?
):. I want to say one thing and I did put it on my show notes.
):The first six or seven episodes I did had titles that came from songs.
):Some of the last episodes didn't because the titles were just getting crazy long
):with the guests and stuff, But I wonder if you noticed those were from songs
):and if you know what songs they're from and I'm going to end with, I'm not going
):to sing, but I'm going to end with.
