Don't meet your idols, they say, unless your idol is Caroline Myss.

For the first interview of our Chicago stop on the East Coast tour, Robin sits down with one of her lifelong idols and one of the women whose writing has shaped the very foundation of her spiritual practice. Robin first encountered Caroline's work as a teenager with the book Anatomy of the Spirit, then Sacred Contracts and nothing about the way she understood love, the soul, or the invisible world has ever been the same since.

Caroline Myss is a five-time New York Times bestselling author, a medical intuitive, and a mystic whose work has shaped the way millions of people understand who they are and why they are here.

In this episode, they explore what sacred contracts actually are and why the people we love were never accidents. They talk about woundology — the way we use our pain as currency — and why liars don't heal. Caroline breaks down what it means when a relationship loses its life force, how to tell when a contract has reached completion, and why your soulmate may not be the person who loves you most, but the one who recognizes your soul.
