  Thin Places, Thin Times - When the Veil Between Worlds Opens Wide 03.09.2026 1t 14min

  Have you ever felt an inexplicable presence at dusk? Have you woken at 3:00 AM with a knowing that someone was there? What if those moments weren't random but invitations? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, host Susan Grau explores the sacred concept of "thin places," times and locations where the barrier between our world and the next becomes almost see-through. Drawing from Celtic traditions, Indigenous wisdom, Japanese folklore, and cultures worldwide that independently discovered the same truth, Susan reveals that these moments aren't superstition but careful observation of something real. Susan guides listeners through the predictable categories where thinness clusters: dawn and dusk (the "gloaming"), the 3:00 AM hour, anniversaries and birthdays, doorways and thresholds, water's edge, cemeteries, old homes, and even that favorite chair that still holds a loved one's shape. She explains that thinness doesn't summon loved ones from far away; they're already close. What changes is our capacity to receive when we step out of "logistics consciousness" into receptivity. With warmth and vulnerability, Susan shares her own thin places, a childhood beach, her mother's doorway, a sudden rainstorm, and offers a practical toolkit for listeners to recognize and utilize these sacred moments. This episode isn't about chasing signs; it's about noticing what's always been there. Tune in and discover how to recognize the thin places already woven into your everyday life. Your loved ones are only a heartbeat away.

  Fear in Grief 20.08.2026 32min

  What if the fear that follows loss isn’t a sign that something is wrong, but a reflection of how deeply you loved? After someone dies, grief often gets all the attention, while fear quietly takes over.  In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau turns her attention to a part of grief almost no one names directly: fear. Drawing on her own near-death experience at age four, the loss of both of her parents, and decades of sitting with grieving clients, Susan makes the case that grief gets all the airtime, but fear is often running the show underneath it. Susan breaks the episode into three parts: why fear shows up so disproportionately loud after loss, the specific fears that surface around where our loved ones actually are, and real, practical tools for loosening fear's grip. She speaks candidly about the fear of forgetting, the fear that grief will never end, the fear that healing is a betrayal, and the deeper, harder-to-admit fear that the whole framework of an afterlife might be a comforting story we tell ourselves. Through client stories, including a woman terrified by her own laughter and a man who couldn't stop replaying his father's voicemails, Susan shows how these fears can begin to loosen when they're named, spoken out loud, and met with real tools rather than platitudes. Whether you're in the rawest part of early grief or years into carrying a loss quietly, this episode offers a grounded reminder: your loved one is not lost, not afraid, and not alone. And with the right tools, you don't have to be ruled by the fear that says otherwise either. In This Episode: [00:01] Introduction to fear after loss [01:15] Grief vs. fear [02:20] Susan's personal experience with fear [04:31] Why fear is so loud in grief [06:43] Fear is love with nowhere to land [07:44] The specific fears grief produces [10:06] Why fear is bigger at night [11:15] The spiritual core: fears about the afterlife [12:25] Are they lost or confused? [14:52] Are they scared or in pain? [16:00] Will they forget me? [17:11] Client story: the fear of the first laugh [18:14] Client story: the fear of losing the voice [19:19] Client story: the fear that grew into faith [20:21] Practical tool: name your fear [21:27] Practical tool: the held breath practice [22:32] Practical tool: write a letter to your fear [23:35] Practical tool: build an evening ritual [24:52] Practical tool: ask for reassurance [26:00] Susan's personal grief dream [27:05] Conclusion and final exercise  Notable Quotes [01:38] "Grief gets all the airtime, but fear is usually running the show underneath it. Fear is the engine. Grief is the exhaust." [06:23] "Fear after loss is very often just love that no longer has its usual outlet... Love with no task doesn't just evaporate. It turns into vigilance." [07:58] "You cannot solve a fear you haven't named." [10:47] "The fear isn't actually bigger at night. It's just unopposed. It hasn't grown. The room just got quiet enough for you to finally hear it." [13:28] "It's orientation, not confusion. Spirit is not the author of confusion or chaos. They are the author of peace and understanding." [21:01] "Vague fear is limitless. It can go on and on. It has no control. Anything with an edge can be worked with." [24:27] "Isolation is fear's favorite habitat." [28:04] "You don't have to completely defeat your fear to live well alongside it." [29:15] "Remember, they are only a heartbeat away. Take care of you."

  The Truth Will Set You Free. The Stories You Tell Yourself Won't. 06.08.2026 27min

  What stories do you tell yourself? When someone treats you poorly, do you immediately assume it's your fault? When a loved one seems distant, do you spiral into a mental replay of everything you might have said or done wrong? When you walk into a room, do you feel the energy shift and immediately wonder, is it me? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau turns inward, exploring the stories we unconsciously tell ourselves and how those stories quietly shape our relationships, our self-worth, and our peace of mind. Drawing on her own history growing up in a home affected by addiction, along with her decades of work as a medium, grief counselor, and empath, Susan unpacks why so many of us default to self-blame when something feels off, assuming a person's mood, silence, or behavior must be about us. She shares candid, personal stories of trying to earn love by shape-shifting into who she thought others wanted her to be, and how she eventually learned that authenticity, not self-erasure, was the real path to peace. The conversation moves through the power of silence as a healing tool, the difference between reacting and responding, and what healthy boundaries actually look like when they're built for yourself rather than aimed at someone else. Susan also speaks to honoring other people's beliefs without needing them to validate your own, a lesson she's learned firsthand while navigating skepticism about her work as a medium. Whether you're working through a difficult relationship, struggling with self-esteem, or simply tired of the mental spiral of "What did I do wrong?", this episode offers a grounded, compassionate reminder. You can't know what you don't know, and your job isn't to manage anyone else's truth, only your own. In This Episode: [00:00] Welcome to Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom [00:51] Introducing today's topic: the stories we tell ourselves [04:16] Shape-shifting for love and the cost of losing yourself [04:45] Unconditional love and what NDEs reveal about it [08:23] Speaking your truth instead of shifting it [08:59] The healing power of silence [09:49] You can't know the truth unless you ask [12:04] Beauty, gratitude, and how we show up [13:33] Boundaries: what they are (and aren't) [14:48] Boundaries with narcissistic behavior [17:31] Compartmentalizing truth to avoid taking action [18:45] Building self-esteem: "I am lovable, capable, worthy, enough" [19:36] Honoring others' beliefs without needing agreement [25:16] Closing message: shine your light  Notable Quotes [05:00] "We know that they have felt a love that is unconditional, that you just can't get here, that isn't possible here when we have a brain. We are judging and having discernment at all times." [08:56] "Sometimes silence is my best friend. It can be my best next right step is to be quiet." [12:07] "Every human that chooses to show beauty has beauty. So if I'm showing others beauty, I am behaving in a beautiful manner, then I have beauty coming out of me." [13:34] "A boundary is for you. It's not for other people. It is, what am I going to do when this person does blah, blah, blah?" [18:43] "Developing self-esteem looks like this, I am lovable. I'm capable. I'm worthy. I'm enough. And I do that a couple times a day. And then my self-esteem starts to catch up." [19:35] "I don't have to change your mind about my belief system. I can just have my belief system and you can have yours and I can honor yours and I can honor mine." [25:35] "Thank God they can't read our minds. So our minds don't matter nearly as much as how we respond to our minds and our thinking." [26:16] "Spirit never gives us hardships to take from us. They give us hardships to show us where to shine our light."

  Moments When the Veil Feels Open, Children in the Afterlife 23.07.2026 24min

  Have you ever wondered why some children talk to people no one else can see? Why do young children sometimes describe deceased relatives they've never met or speak about life before they were born? And what if the imaginary friends adults dismiss aren't always imaginary? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores one of the most fascinating and emotionally charged topics in spirituality: children's natural connection to the unseen world. Drawing from decades of intuitive work, personal experiences, and conversations with families, Susan shares why children often seem more open to spiritual experiences before the world teaches them to doubt their own perceptions. Susan discusses the difference between imagination and genuine spiritual sensitivity, sharing remarkable stories of children describing loved ones they never knew, recalling memories before birth, and speaking with wisdom far beyond their years. She explains why fear often comes not from the child, but from the adults around them, and why creating a safe space for curiosity may be one of the greatest gifts parents can offer. The conversation also explores intuition, consciousness, grief, and the importance of listening without judgment. Susan encourages parents to remain grounded while allowing room for mystery, reminding us that not everything meaningful can be measured or explained by science alone. Whether you're raising young children, grieving a loved one, remembering experiences from your own childhood, or simply curious about the nature of consciousness, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on one of life's greatest mysteries. It invites us to see children not as people who know less than we do, but perhaps as souls who remember more. In This Episode: [00:00:01] Children and the afterlife [00:02:20] The special sensitivity of children [00:04:14] Imaginary friends vs. spiritual encounters [00:05:36] How to know if it's a spirit [00:08:09] Allowing room for mystery [00:08:36] Memories before birth [00:11:20] How adults silence children's intuition [00:13:21] Grief's role in reawakening spirituality [00:14:32] How adults should respond [00:16:01] Protecting a child's innocence [00:17:22] Remembering your own childhood experiences [00:18:34] The sacredness of wonder [00:19:52] The most important lesson: just listen [00:21:20] A mother's story Notable Quotes [02:31] "Children often experience spirit very differently than adults. Not dramatically, but naturally." [06:45] "Children often respond with curiosity before adults teach them fear." [10:44] "Maybe consciousness doesn't begin at birth, and maybe it doesn't end with death." [11:15] "The soul is far older than the body." [14:00] "Pain opens people. It creates the cracks where deeper perception can enter." [18:49] "Not everything meaningful can be measured."

  Death Isn’t What We’re Taught: What Changes at the End of Life 24.06.2026 22min

  Have you ever wondered what happens in the final days, hours, or moments before death? Why do so many people nearing the end of life suddenly speak to loved ones who have already passed? Why does fear often give way to peace? And what if death is far different from the frightening ending we've been taught to imagine? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau draws on years of hospice and end-of-life work to explore the profound experiences she has witnessed beside hospital beds, in quiet rooms filled with anticipation, and during some of life's most sacred transitions. Through moving stories, personal memories, and reflections from countless families, she invites listeners into a conversation many avoid but every human being will eventually face. Susan shares remarkable accounts of dying individuals seeing deceased family members, speaking of journeys, trains, boats, and homecomings, and experiencing a sudden release of fear after a lifetime of anxiety about death. She explores the phenomenon of terminal lucidity, the mysterious moments when people with dementia or severe illness regain startling clarity before passing, and the common themes that appear across cultures, religions, and belief systems around the world. More than a discussion about dying, this episode is a reflection on living. Susan reveals how the end of life strips away status, achievement, and performance, leaving only what truly matters: love, connection, forgiveness, and presence. She challenges listeners to reconsider long-held assumptions about consciousness, grief, and what it means to leave the physical body. Whether you are grieving a loved one, caring for someone nearing the end of life, or carrying your own fears about death, this episode offers comfort, perspective, and a gentler way of understanding one of humanity's greatest mysteries. It is a reminder that perhaps the final chapter is not about loss at all, but about returning home. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction to the topic of death [01:24] Sacred experiences near the end of life [02:47] Seeing beyond this world [04:01] The story of the woman and her sister [06:27] The energy shift in the room [09:13] Symbolic language of travel [11:45] Visitations from deceased loved ones [14:14] Terminal lucidity: a final clarity [16:47] How children approach death [18:06] What truly matters at the end [19:31] No one dies alone  Notable Quotes [02:31] “They’re not meaningless. They have massive meaning, because death is not only a medical event, it’s also an emotional event, a spiritual event, a family event, a soul event most importantly.” [03:30] “Death may not be what we are taught to really think it is. We’re taught it’s fear. We’re taught to fear it.” [05:17] “I saw my sister on the other side, and I don’t have to be afraid anymore.” [05:57] “People spend decades terrified of dying, and then suddenly become peaceful.” [07:49] “Hallucinations are usually chaotic or distressing, and these experiences are often rational, loving, organized, very personal.” [11:02] “Consciousness may be preparing itself to let go... the soul understands the transition through metaphor before the mind can fully surrender.” [15:11] “There’s something called terminal lucidity... someone unable to recognize family suddenly knows everyone in the room, and not in the room, again. [18:40] “People don’t ask for their trophies at the end, or followers, or status. Te they love.” [19:26] “Love is the only thing people truly carry emotionally at the end. Love and regret. That’s it.” [20:38] “No soul truly crosses alone.” [21:05] “They’re crossing in the way that they’re choosing, so there’s no guilt to be held.” Susan Grau Susan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

  Happiness is an Inside Job: Finding Your Center After Life Falls Apart 25.05.2026 29min

  How much of your life have you spent chasing happiness? For years, you’ve told yourself: happiness is just around the corner. It’ll come when the pain stops. When the grief lifts. When the relationship heals. When the bank account grows. But what if life never stops changing? What if it keeps hurting, keeps demanding more than you feel ready to give? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau reframes everything we think we know about happiness. Not the Instagram version. Not the “everything is perfect” version. But real happiness, the kind you can find after your life has fallen apart. She explains why trauma knocks us off our center, why chasing happiness actually makes it harder to find, and how to build happiness from the inside out when nothing outside feels okay. Susan shares practical tools like gratitude practices (and why they rewire your brain), the danger of comparison, and the difference between living someone else’s life versus your own. She also offers real stories, including a man who lost his business, marriage, and home, only to discover he was still okay, and a grieving woman who found meaning again through her dog. This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for life to be perfect and start living from your center, where calm, strength, and even laughter can coexist with pain. Tune in to learn how to let happiness find you instead of chasing it.

Most people lose their center. When you lose your center, happiness feels impossible to find." [01:54]  ”Happiness is a gift we give ourselves, and it's a gift we give the people around us.” [02:49] "Happiness is not a life without pain. Happiness is a life where pain does not steal your center." [04:37] "Happiness is not something you chase. Happiness is something you allow." [07:07] "Happiness and pain can exist at the same time. You can be grieving and still feel joy." [12:35] "Happiness comes from meaning, not comfort." [15:16] "Happiness is not something that happens to you. Happiness is something you decide." [22:54] "Happiness is not life without pain. Happiness is what happens when pain does not close your heart." [23:51] "Life is like a wheel. If you live on the outside, life will throw you everywhere.

  The Truth About Loss, Change, and Becoming Who You Are 22.04.2026 31min

  Have you ever had a moment where it feels like your whole life is falling apart? Like nothing is stable, nothing makes sense, and you can’t quite understand what’s happening? I want to talk about that today. And I want to offer you something different to consider… what if it’s not actually falling apart? What I’ve learned is this, sometimes what feels like destruction is actually rearrangement. In the moment it feels like grief, loss, confusion, even punishment. But later, when you look back, you start to see something else happening underneath it all. You start to see that the moments that broke you were also the moments that built you. Grief, relationships ending, illness, starting over, these don’t just take things from us, they change who we are. And sometimes people leave not because something went wrong, but because your life is changing direction. Not everyone is meant to go where you’re going next. And then there are seasons like the dark night of the soul, when you feel lost, disconnected, and even spiritually quiet. But silence is not abandonment. Sometimes it’s growth. Sometimes it’s life asking you to trust yourself in a deeper way than you ever have before. So if your life feels like it’s falling apart right now… maybe it isn’t. Maybe it’s being rearranged.

  The Emotional Weight of the World: Why Everything Feels So Heavy 31.03.2026 31min

  Do you feel it? There’s a weight in the world right now.  You hear it in conversations, see it in the news, and feel it in the tension people carry in their bodies. And if you’re sensitive or intuitive, it doesn’t just pass by, you feel it deeply. In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau puts words to something many people are feeling but can’t quite explain, the emotional weight of living in a world that feels constantly unsettled. This conversation speaks directly to those who don’t just notice what’s happening, but absorb it. Susan gently walks through why our nervous systems aren’t designed to hold a constant stream of global pain and uncertainty, and what starts to happen when we stay in that heightened state for too long. She also breaks down the difference between judgment and discernment, how one creates separation, while the other allows you to stay aware without losing your grounding. There’s also a deeper reminder here, you’re not going through this alone. The spirit world, and the loved ones who have crossed over, remain present, offering guidance, support, and perspective in quiet, often unseen ways. At its core, this episode is an invitation to come back to yourself. Through compassion, regulation, and presence, it shows how to stay steady without shutting down. Tune in to reconnect with your calm, protect your energy, and stay grounded in the middle of it all.

  What You Carry, Carries You: Breaking Emotional Inheritance 18.03.2026 1t 4min

  Did you know that some of the emotions you carry today may not have started with you? That deep anxiety you can’t explain. The guilt, the fear, the heaviness that seems older than your current life circumstances. What if those feelings didn’t begin in your story, but were passed down to you? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores the powerful and often unseen reality of emotional inheritance, the patterns, fears, survival responses, and unprocessed grief passed down through families and generations. She explains how we don’t just inherit physical traits or beliefs, but emotional environments. As children, we absorb tension, silence, expectations, and coping strategies long before we have language for them. Over time, these patterns can feel like identity, even when they are adaptations. Susan introduces a powerful metaphor, the “invisible suitcase”, the emotional weight we carry that was never consciously chosen. Inside it can be inherited fear, shame, hypervigilance, people pleasing, or the belief that love must be earned. This episode goes beyond awareness into healing. Susan shows how these inherited patterns live in the nervous system, shape our relationships, and influence how we see ourselves. She reframes these responses not as flaws, but as intelligent survival strategies that once protected us. Most importantly, she offers a compassionate path forward, one rooted in awareness, self responsibility, and choice. Healing doesn’t mean blaming the past. It means recognizing what was passed down, and deciding what you no longer want to carry.  Tune in to understand your emotional patterns and begin breaking the cycle. In This Episode: [00:00] Welcome and episode introduction [00:52] Introduction to emotional inheritance [02:29] What emotional inheritance really means [03:40] How children absorb the emotional atmosphere before words [05:20] The invisible suitcase we carry [08:03] Everyday signs and emotional triggers [11:49] Nervous system and sense of safety [15:15] Inherited roles within the family [19:35] Grief that gets passed down [26:32] Loyalty to pain and suffering [29:56] How healing shifts the system [30:25] Losing yourself in family roles [31:22] Boundaries and family backlash [31:56] Healing without emotional reaction [32:30] Dread and inherited fear patterns [34:36] Moving from blame to choice [35:21] Soul contracts and family lineage [37:12] Sensitivity of cycle breakers [40:10] Compassion while holding boundaries [43:37] Signs you carry inherited patterns [45:56] Awareness instead of blame [48:54] Noticing patterns and practicing change [54:08] Practical tools for healing [57:17] Parenting as a mirror and shifting the lineage [59:58] Cycle breakers: The loneliness and the liberation [01:02:23] Shame: protective strategies [01:03:19] Reframing how you see your own behaviors [01:04:13] Closing remarks Notable Quotes [14:11] "Healing, emotional inheritance, it has to involve compassion because you can't shame your nervous system into safety." [46:05] "Blame says you did this to me and now I stay stuck. Awareness says this affected me and I'm allowed to understand it so I can heal." [53:44] "You're not betraying your family by becoming whole." [58:23] “You don't have to perfectly parent to interrupt emotional inheritance. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be conscious enough to repair.” [58:42] "Children don't need perfect parents. They need present ones, honest ones, repairing ones, safe enough ones."

  You Don’t Heal Your Soul, Your Soul Heals You: Finding Peace Beyond The Pain 03.03.2026 40min

  Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right,” yet still feel off, disconnected, or overwhelmed? In this deeply insightful episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau takes us on an extraordinary journey through the concept of soul healing, exploring the profound truth that your soul is never broken. Healing doesn’t come from fixing your soul; rather, it is about allowing your soul to recalibrate your human experience. Susan reveals how painful disruptions in life, from grief to rejection, serve as moments of recalibration and the soul’s powerful call to re-align with truth. With compassion, Susan offers a gentle yet firm approach to letting go of false identities, shedding the narratives that hold us back, and embracing the clarity that comes from honoring our soul’s wisdom. It’s time to stop running from pain and start integrating it, allowing the soul to guide you toward true healing and steady inner peace. In this episode, Susan highlights the importance of not only emotional regulation but embodying personal truths and creating boundaries. By integrating shadow work, recognizing the true source of wounds, and releasing what no longer serves us, we allow the soul’s clarity to shine through. This is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving and growing, even when life feels uncertain or out of control. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [01:30] Understanding the Soul's True Nature [03:05] Recalibrating the Human Experience [05:00] Releasing False Identities [07:10] Grief and Emotional Healing [09:00] Radical Honesty with Yourself [11:40] Regulating Your Nervous System [13:00] Shadow Work: Integrating the Wounds [16:25] The Importance of Boundaries [18:30] Releasing Control [21:10] Moving Through Disruptions [23:00] Aligning with Your Soul’s Truth [25:00] Living with Grace [27:00] Practical Tools for Recalibration [30:00] Conclusion Notable Quotes [12:00] "The wound is not what happened, but the moment you left yourself to survive what happened." [14:00] "Boundaries aren’t about changing others, they’re about how you choose to respond when others’ behavior challenges you." [16:30] "Grief comes to clear distortion, and when it does, your soul will lead you to healing." [20:00] "When life feels like it’s falling apart, it’s often the soul’s way of reorganizing what no longer serves you." [22:50] "Pain doesn’t punish; it illuminates. It shows you where the misalignment is, so you can heal it." [25:15] "Integration is not about fixing yourself; it’s about embracing every part of you with compassion and truth."

  The Weight in the Air: Understanding Collective Suffering 10.02.2026 31min

  Have you been feeling an unexplained anxiety, a low-grade tension, or a sadness with no clear source? Do you feel perpetually “on alert,” emotionally raw, or disconnected from joy even when your personal life seems stable? You are not broken, and you are not alone. In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau addresses the palpable yet often nameless weight so many are carrying. This isn’t about politics or prediction. It’s a compassionate exploration of what it means to be a sensitive, perceptive human when the collective consciousness itself feels dysregulated. Susan explains how widespread grief, fear, and unresolved trauma create an atmosphere of “ambient suffering” that our nervous systems, especially those of empaths, healers, and caregivers, cannot help but absorb. This leads to symptoms like chronic anxiety, irritability, emotional numbness, brain fog, and exhausting mental loops as our systems search for closure and safety that the external world cannot provide. Moving beyond spiritual bypassing, Susan offers a practical and somatic path back to yourself. She reframes anxiety not as a thought problem, but as a nervous system signal. She redefines confusion not as incompetence, but as the necessary “space between stories” when old maps no longer fit. The core of healing, she reveals, lies in one vital shift, moving from the question “Is this story true?” to “Is this story regulating my nervous system?” This episode is a gentle, firm guide to empowerment through inner authority. It’s about learning to discern what energy is yours to carry and what belongs to the collective, and how to release the latter without guilt. Susan provides actionable anchors, like pausing your internal narrative, regulating your body, and shrinking your timeframe to the present moment, to help you reclaim your grounding, your peace, and your power. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction  [01:24] Collective emotional overwhelm [02:38] Dysregulation and self-regulation [03:38] Ambient suffering and emotional reactivity [06:12] Nervous system and collective stress [07:27] Symptoms of overload and disconnection [08:24] Anxiety: body vs. mind [10:30] Confusion as a developmental stage [12:40] The stories we tell ourselves [14:50] Survival stories and letting go [16:58] Regulating the nervous system [19:01] Empowerment without bypassing [20:17] Personal vs. collective anxiety [22:36] Grounding and sensation of safety [24:06] Returning to self: practical solutions [25:42] The limits of control and self-relationship [28:55] Conclusion Notable Quotes [01:19] "Nothing's wrong with you. And I don't mean that in a motivational way. I mean it in a psychological way. In an emotional way." [02:59] "We don't need to bury our heads in the sand... But how do we self-regulate so that we can handle what's going on?" [08:19] "Our nervous system needs closure, and when it doesn't have it, it plays a loop in our brains." [11:21] "Confusion is the space between the stories." [11:38] "The old map no longer fits, but the new map hasn't been drawn yet." [16:27] "A thought can feel absolutely true and still not be truth." [21:38] "You are not meant to metabolize the entire world. You are allowed to release what does not belong to you." [22:43] "Safety is not an idea. It's a sensation." [19:01] "Empowerment doesn't have to be loud.." [29:02] "The only control you have is over you. And that is the scariest comment, isn't it?" [30:08] "Don't run from fear. Shake hands with it, face it and look it in the eye."

  Learning to Trust Yourself Again: Self-care after Gaslighting 27.01.2026 29min

  Did you know that gaslighting doesn’t only happen in romantic relationships, but can show up in families, friendships, workplaces, spiritual spaces, and even inside your own mind long after the other person is gone? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau talks honestly about gaslighting, not as a buzzword, but as something that slowly teaches you to doubt yourself. Your memory. Your feelings. Your intuition. Drawing from her own experience and the work she’s done with clients, Susan explains how gaslighting can leave you disconnected from your body, unsure of your truth, and constantly questioning whether you were right or wrong. She shares why the impact of gaslighting often continues long after the relationship or situation has ended, and why that ongoing self-doubt isn’t a flaw. It’s a survival response. Susan also talks about what healing really looks like, and it’s not dramatic or confrontational. It’s quiet and reparative. Learning to believe in yourself again. Reducing contact with invalidating energy. Setting clearer boundaries. Letting yourself rest, pause, and be silent without guilt. This episode is a gentle reminder that if you were gaslit, you were not weak. You were trusting, open, and human. Healing begins when you stop looking to others for closure and start choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction  [01:30] Gaslighting beyond romantic relationships [02:46] Defining gaslighting and its effects [04:02] Common phrases and accountability avoidance [05:22] Impact on intuition and self-trust [06:44] Personal experience and disconnection [08:57] Overriding intuition and survival response [10:10] Self-abandonment and explaining pain [11:12] Avoiding invalidating people and relearning self-care [12:18] Reparative self-care and trusting yourself [13:33] Physical responses and recognizing gaslighting [14:37] Slowing down and silence without guilt [15:49] Setting boundaries and reducing exposure [17:46] Distance as protection, not punishment [18:42] Self-love as loyalty and choosing peace [19:47] Why people stay and the role of hope [22:02] Healing feels quieter and rooted [23:13] Freedom from needing admission [24:34] The loop: replaying conversations [25:33] Closure comes from within [26:40] Breaking the loop and nervous system repair [27:47] Longer gaps and present-moment healing [28:53] Self-love means releasing the need for clarity [29:30] Conclusion  Notable Quotes [03:26] “You stop asking, ‘Is this okay?’ And start asking, ‘Am I okay for feeling this?’” [04:58] “Most gaslighting comes from people who cannot tolerate accountability.” [08:45] “Gaslighting separates you from your inner knowing.” [11:22] “You weren’t too much. You were too aware for someone who needed control.” [12:09] “Self-care isn’t a bubble bath. It’s relearning how to listen to yourself without apology.” [13:24] “Your experience is valid because you lived it.” [19:15] “I choose peace over being right.” [21:18] “Staying doesn’t mean you were weak. It means you were human.” [21:39] “Leaving is not a failure. It’s wisdom arriving.” [25:53] “The same person who distorted your reality cannot be the one who restores it.” [27:47] “Some chapters do not end with understanding. They end with self-respect.” [28:42] “My peace does not require permission.” Susan Grau Susan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

  When Spirit Guides Speak: Messages, Signs & Support from the Unseen 13.01.2026 42min

  What if your spirit guides have been with you your entire life, quietly guiding, protecting, and nudging you forward long before you ever knew what to call them? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores who spirit guides truly are, how they communicate, and why so many people feel disconnected from their guidance even when it has been there all along. Susan clears up common myths, including the idea that guidance should be loud, dramatic, or urgent. True guidance, she explains, is subtle, calm, and grounded in clarity, not fear. She breaks down the ways guides communicate: through body sensations, repetition, timing, silence, curiosity, emotional resonance, and even exhaustion, especially during grief, trauma, or periods of spiritual awakening. Importantly, Susan reminds us that guides do not override free will, demand obedience, or remove pain. Their role is to help us reconnect with integrity, truth, and self-trust. This episode is not about becoming psychic or chasing signs. It is about remembering what your soul already knows and learning to listen to the quiet wisdom that has been guiding you all along. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [00:46] Understanding spirit guides [02:00] Myths and truths about spirit guides [03:28] How spirit guides communicate [11:52] Recognizing guidance through the body [15:08] The role of silence in guidance [16:48] Guidance during grief and trauma [19:03] The purpose of guides [20:43] Guidance and life's momentum [21:08] Understanding guidance and integrity [22:00] Recognizing and trusting your inner voice [22:16] The role of fear in blocking guidance [22:40] The mind vs. the soul [23:46] Guidance through erosion and discomfort [25:18] The importance of timing and boundaries [26:40] Emotional reactions and recognition [27:24] Disruption of habits and growth [29:17] Dreams as a communication tool [29:58] Curiosity and exploration [30:42] Exhaustion and alignment [31:25] Guides and the truth of your path [32:50] Integration and embodiment of guidance [34:00] The role of spirit guides in your life [40:48] Final thoughts Notable Quotes [03:08] “Guides don't shout, they signal.” [05:06] “Your guides don't leave during grief. They move closer.” [10:58] “Guidance is efficient. It's not theatrical.” [15:41] “Silence usually means integration is required… It shifts authority from external reassurance to internal stability.” [16:53] “In grief, communication often becomes more physical and emotional rather than verbal.” [19:58] “Fear is never the voice of a guide. Urgency, shame, pressure, these are not guidance.” [22:00] “Most people are already hearing their guides and calling it something else: intuition, gut instinct, coincidence, luck.” [31:33] “Guides do not communicate to make your life easier. They communicate to make it truer.” [33:29] “Guides communicate until you no longer need to be convinced that you are guided.” [40:51] “Spirit guides are not here to tell you who to be. They're here to remind you who you already are.” Susan Grau Susan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

  During the holidays, the noise keeps grief at bay, gifts, gatherings, constant motion. But when the celebrations end and the quiet returns, the loneliness hits hard. What do you do then? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau opens a sacred conversation about the loneliness that often surfaces after the holidays.

  Holding On Through The Holidays: A Compassionate Path Through Grief 16.12.2025 32min

  What do you do when the holidays hit, and instead of feeling joy, all you feel is that old familiar ache? When everyone around you is celebrating but you’re reliving the loss of your mom or someone you loved deeply? And every holiday seems to pull that pain right back to the surface, no matter how much time has passed? In this special holiday season episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan talks openly about what it truly feels like to grieve while the world around you is celebrating. She shares her own experiences of losing family members and how the holidays would trigger waves of emotion weeks before they even arrived. She explains why the body remembers before the mind does, why love turns into emotion when it has nowhere physical to land, and why feeling pain right now does not mean you are broken. It means you loved deeply. Susan also reveals something comforting from the spirit world. During the holidays, your loved ones draw closer than ever. They nudge your memories, send subtle signs, and wrap you in moments of warmth that many people mistake for coincidence. This episode invites you to breathe, honor your pace, speak your loved ones’ names, and let the empty chair at the table become a place of connection, not absence. It is a soft reminder that you are held, supported, and never grieving alone.
