Stacked Keys Podcast

Have you ever wondered what happens when a marketing executive finds herself drawn to the spiritual world? This episode brings you the inspiring story of Colleen Coleman, a marketing expert and evidential medium who has masterfully balanced her career in land conservation with a profound spiritual calling. Growing up in rural Washington, Colleen’s life took a dramatic turn after the sudden loss of her father, leading her to reevaluate her life’s purpose. Her journey from the world of outdoor recreation to becoming a nonprofit advocate and spiritual healer showcases a beautiful fusion of professional and personal growth.
Colleen opens up about the difficult moments of recognizing when a so-called dream job isn’t fulfilling and the courage it takes to make life changes, even when it involves financial sacrifices. We navigate through the deeply transformative experiences of dealing with grief, including the concept of the “dark night of the soul,” where profound loss ignites a path of spiritual awakening. This episode sheds light on the often unseen and messy aspects of personal transformation, emphasizing the importance of time in learning to live with grief and the process of finding new avenues to fulfillment.
In a world that’s always bustling, Colleen shares the importance of tuning into our intuition by quieting the daily chaos. From childhood memories in nature to becoming an end-of-life doula, her story is a testament to the power of small, intuitive choices and their significant impacts. As we unravel her experiences, we also explore the compassionate work of end-of-life doulas and the delicate balance between professional ambitions and spiritual callings. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about following your soul path and the profound impact of living a heart-centered life.
