In this episode, I have the great pleasure of speaking with Aymie Daniels, Managing Director of Prophet Source and author of An American Awakening: The Interdependent Relationship of Spirituality and Mental Health about her transformative journey of spiritual healing.

Aymie shares her insights on the inherent connection between spirituality and mental health, opens up about her personal awakening—a process she describes as “leveling up in consciousness”—and how it led her from darkness and substance abuse to a life of purpose and healing. Her story inspires and underscores resilience and finding hope even in the most turbulent times.

In her book, she explores how spiritual experiences can be both ineffable and life changing. She discusses the importance of holistic approaches to mental health, advocating for transparent information and diverse paths to healing that go beyond pharmaceuticals. Moreover, she managed to look at the bigger picture by moving beyond the “why me” mentality, embracing the law of accountability, and accepting the necessity of making conscious choices to move forward.

Finally, we talk about the challenges faced by those who experience spiritual emergencies, including societal stigma and the limitations of traditional mental health labels. Aymie shares how finding community with others who have undergone similar awakenings has been vital to her journey, and why she believes that embracing our spiritual nature—however we define it—is essential for true well-being.
