Episode 07: Every Day Feels Like a Gift, Living from Soul Connection

Collective Guidance with Charla Goodnight

Summary

In this heartfelt and deeply awakening conversation, Charla Goodnight sits down with Audrey Rose, a spiritual mentor who guides women to awaken their inner temple and align with their soul’s purpose. Audrey opens up about her journey from feeling unwanted and disconnected to living each day as a divine gift. Together, they explore what alignment truly means, how to feel safe in your body, and the transformative power of connecting with your inner temple.

This episode is a moving invitation to those who’ve ever felt lost or out of place — to remember that safety, purpose, and magic are found within.

Takeaways

Alignment begins with safety. True alignment comes from feeling safe in your body — learning to see it not as a burden, but as a divine vessel supporting your soul’s purpose.

The body holds the key to healing. Audrey discovered that stored trauma can manifest as illness, and that energetic release and gratitude toward the body can create profound transformation.

Your “inner temple” is your sacred space. This is where you can access your higher self, connect with divine guidance, and realign with your soul’s blueprint.

Feeling lost is part of awakening. Moments of darkness, confusion, or even despair are often invitations to return inward and rediscover your true essence.

Numbing disconnects you from your truth. Choosing presence over numbing — whether through alcohol, distraction, or self-criticism — opens the door to real spiritual growth.

Gratitude transforms everything. Approaching each moment, even the smallest bodily sensations, with gratitude brings life back into alignment and joy.
