In this episode, I talk with life, leadership, and spiritual coach Christopher Sansone to explore his powerful book, Longing: A Pilgrimage to Your Quiet Power Within.
Together, we examine the deeper nature of the Self, the soul’s purpose across lifetimes, and the inner wisdom that exists beyond our conditioning, personality, and everyday identity. Chris shares his perspective on reincarnation, karma, past-life healing, somatic channeling, and the work of “polishing the inner diamond” we each carry within us.
At the heart of our conversation is the idea of soul wisdom—the understanding we gain when we fully move through life’s challenges rather than simply avoiding or surviving them. Chris explains how grief, trauma, loss, and upheaval can become what he calls sacred calamities, creating opportunities to develop deeper awareness, resilience, compassion, and connection with the soul. Over time, that accumulated wisdom can become a form of soul genius, helping us navigate life with greater clarity and purpose.
We also discuss free will, pre-life planning, the importance of trusted allies during our darkest moments, and how adversity can become part of a much larger spiritual journey. This is a deeply thoughtful exploration of how we transform our experiences into wisdom; and how listening to the quiet power within can guide us back toward who we truly are.
