Why we need Community more than ever!

In this solo episode of the Heart Led Soul Fed podcast, host Christine J. Gold reflects on the heightened need for authentic community in today’s fragmented world. She opens by wishing listeners a Happy Thanksgiving and observes how social media’s focus on gratitude often masks deeper feelings of isolation. Gold discusses how identity politics, religious and political labels, and materialism create division and fear, emphasizing that true belonging starts with self‑connection and extends outward to supportive groups. She stresses the importance of setting healthy boundaries, especially for empaths and healers, to avoid narcissistic dynamics and burnout, encouraging listeners to assess their energy and say no when needed. Gold then introduces her Soul Healers Community—a safe space for empaths, lightworkers, and spiritually awakening individuals—detailing its monthly workshops, Q&A sessions, healing circles, past‑life regressions, and discounts on digital courses and mentorship programs (Unleash Your Soul’s Purpose, Unleash Your Magic). She provides a brief historical lens, contrasting the Dark Ages’ control‑driven narratives with the current “Golden Age” of spiritual awakening, arguing that community evolution is essential for personal and collective growth. The episode also showcases the “Dream It, Vision It, Map It” vision‑board workshop, sharing success stories of participants who transformed burnout into purposeful careers. Throughout, Gold offers practical self‑care prompts, invites listeners to join the community via a waitlist, earn free membership, or schedule a free call, and repeatedly reinforces the message that inner abundance already exists and can be accessed through community support and personal practice.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Heart Led Soul Fed podcast. This is season 4, episode 218, and I'm Christine J Gold. I am a medium, a mentor, healer, podcaster, clearly, and author. And, uh, this, uh, week's episode is— well, first and foremost, I want to wish, um, Happy Thanksgiving to whoever celebrates it. Um, sending you lots of love. I've been seeing a lot of, uh, posts about, you know, being thankful, being grateful, um, feeling blessed, all of that. I've also seen, you know, a lot of different things, um, in regards to, um, changing traditions or welcoming in new traditions. And, and not only that, just to recognize where we are in the world and who we are as a community. So this episode is impromptu, as always. Spirit came in and we want to talk about community and why we need community more than ever. And as well, we welcome all your support if you really enjoy this podcast. Please share it with your friends, your family, and maybe even people you might not think will listen, but you just never know. Put it out there. You leave your light wherever it belongs, right? And, uh, please share this as well. Subscribe, like, do all those wonderful things, uh, because this is a community. And, uh, please let us know where you're watching from. Who you are, if you're new, even if it's on the replay, and if you have a question. I know, I 1,000 million percent, if that's even a thing, know that, um, I have been looking for community. I have been looking to belong somewhere. I have been looking to be seen, known, you know, felt. I mean, I believe Oprah Winfrey talked about that, you know, that's why she, she did— she does what she does, because she wanted to be seen and heard and recognized and loved for who she was. And, um, I feel the same way, because really, at the end of the day, that's what we're all looking for, um, heart-to-heart connection, soul-to-soul connections. And, um, it could start, you know, it with yourself, of course, your home, your, your pets, your friends, whatever type of work you're doing, uh, in your community and, and beyond. I mean, we are global, we are worldwide. Um, it's real easy to, uh, think that, you know, I'm part of this group, or I'm Democrat or Republican or Christian. See, now we're causing separation. We're saying that, you know, what I believe and who I am is therefore maybe better than you or someone else. And then we go slippery into judgment, um, and then into fear. And then I, I believe, you know, hate is probably Hate is learned. So what are you learning in your communities? Do you have a community? Let me know in the comments. I'd love to know. I'd love to know. And you know, maybe you do have a community, maybe you're looking for something else, but you know, I kept being continually shown— I'd show up in Alignable, I'd show up on LinkedIn, I'd show up at all these networking events and they always felt off. Always. And that wasn't because I didn't know my worth. Maybe that was part of it, but I know my worth. And I know that many of us are putting up a front and walls and hiding behind certifications and trainings and their religion and who they vote for and all, and absolutely ancestral stuff as well, right? The fear, the shame, the blame, the guilt, all of it, and the negativity. Um, I no longer subscribe to anything that is negative, and I, I've been seeing this a lot. Um, on Facebook. And, you know, social media is what it is, you know, it's there to share. And whatever you are feeding into could be negative or positive depending on where you are. So if you're feeling something and it feels off, it feels icky, unsubscribe, you know, unfriend, put them on pause. I've, I've talked about this before. You, you absolutely have to create boundaries, and that doesn't mean you're not a nice person. That, that term nice, and especially being Canadian, you get that all the time. So basically, what am I, a welcome mat? Just, you know, you, you come to me when you need something, and then when I'm no longer needed, get tossed aside. You have to remember, when you're really sensitive, you can attract narcissistic type relationships. And that is mainly why we're here, knowing, uh, that no matter what you do, what you say, it never changes. So I'm no longer— we are no longer subscribing to that. If someone wants to talk to you, I, you know, I'm now asking Okay, do I have the energy for this? Do I have the time for this? And are they actually, you know, willing to listen on both sides? Are we listening and not responding and reacting? Well, definitely not reacting, just responding. Uh, and can you hold that peaceful presence? If you cannot, you absolutely can say, I'm sorry, I cannot do this today. I'm not in a good space. And you could even take it a step further and say, anytime you come to me, I feel like I'm the counselor and you don't respect my time, you don't respect my— who I am as a person, and nothing changes. So go find a trained counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist And, um, yeah, I, I, I all, you know, hope and pray that people, um, whoever they are, get the help that they need. But there is responsibility with this. You have to be willing to do the work. You can't be complaining about the same thing over and over again and expect change to happen. Doesn't happen. It happens when you decide, I've had enough and I'm tired of, you know, living in victim mode, victim consciousness. Uh, you're no longer surviving whatever you're surviving. You can at any time switch into thriving. So that's why I created Soul Healers Community. Absolutely. You might have seen it. I mean, I started with the banner here, Soul Healers Community. Um, this is a safe space for empaths, for lightworkers, for healers, for people that are having a spiritual awakening, awakenings, for people that are wanting to live their soul's purpose, for people who know that the corporate life or that soul-sucking job isn't going to cut it anymore, but they're not sure how to get to the other side. That's why we're here. We've created a community where all like-minded come together, and, you know, and there's going to be monthly, uh, workshops. There's going to be monthly Q&As, meaning you're asking me questions. Something had come up, maybe you had a dream about something, maybe you have, you know, there's family stuff going on, whatever it is. 360-degree wellness as well. It's, it's mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, in relationships. And there's also a monthly healing circle, so, you know, clearing off any cords, any attachments. We'll talk about past lives, um, we'll even do a past life, uh, soul regression, which I've, um, been learning training as well. So because, you know, a lot of my readings are that. When people ask, what do you do? What's a reading like? Well, it's everything rolled up into one, and it's whatever your soul needs at the time. As well, you'll get discounts on some of the digital courses I have created. As well, you get, uh, you get discount on group mentorships— Unleash Your Soul's Purpose, Unleash Your Magic— and they can be 6 weeks, 6 months, or 1 year. And I also have two, two one-on-one mentorships with me left for 2023. That's, that's amazing. It's just amazing how things shift, how things have changed. So, um, I would say from starting, uh, with community from the industrial age, even before then, You think of colonization and all of that, the Dark Ages. Why were they so dark? Think about that word, dark. Why was it so dark? Because they were trying to control the narrative at that time. They were trying to control people and put fear into them. And religion— you must follow this, and if you don't, then there's a big war and everybody gets killed. Um, that's the Dark Ages. So I mean, we've always been evolving. Um, you know, I just read something about the Anunnaki and gold and, uh, Enki. Now I don't know if you're familiar with any of those terms, but it's all about, um, really that, that we are living in the Golden Age for that very reason. Um, I absolutely believe it. Um, I know it. Um, that's why I'm not giving up on, you know, this community. I'm not giving up on, um, supporting each other. I'm not giving up on you. I'm not giving up on me. It's about we. It always has been. And you notice how, how things have changed. I mean, um, they talk about Well, let's go there. 3 antichrists. You— I mean, you could put in the comments who you think they are. I'm not going to share. Maybe in our private community I will, because I will not be censored. See how that works? So since the Industrial Age, um, it was all about, you know, um, cars and things and material objects and living the better life and having, you know, this dress and Um, really, we become disconnected from who, who, who we truly are. We don't need things. We don't. You just think you do. And isn't it— it is Thanksgiving tomorrow, and then there's Black Friday and all of that. Are you getting sucked into that? Do you really need any—
anything more?
Maybe you're thinking, oh, I need more connection, I need more authentic relationships, I need more prosperity and abundance. Guess what? You are, you are already. Just step into it and know it. But being part of this community, you will absolutely know it and feel it and be excited every day every day. Because guess what? God gave you life. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. And charity begins with yourself. Are you being kind to yourself? Are you being loving to yourself? Are you being generous with yourself? Are you practicing self-care every single day? Or are you looking for answers outside of yourself? That, you know, you will get back to where you, you know, you started, but it will be a long way around is what I'm saying. So why don't we create a shortcut? I love shortcuts, they're fun. You know when Google tells you go this way and you're like, no, actually I know the way, but thank you very much. You do know the way. You do know the way. So what I'm saying is, you know, this— we already have a few members in the community that are on the waitlist. I'd love to see you there. We start January 2nd. That happens to be my birthday. I think that's an amazing way to start 2023. As well, I have a very exciting— this is the fourth— no, the third year. I'm getting ahead of myself. The third year of doing this Dream It, Vision It, Map It workshop. Now, this isn't some, you know, dreary old vision board, boring, fall asleep type of class. No, no, no, no, no. We have fun. We want you to bring your dreams, your wishes, your visions, and intentions and they're going to manifest magically. And I'm just going to show you a few boards here. This was, um, Catherine's board in France from 2022, and she went from being absolutely burned out in a corporate job with narcissistic bosses to now stepping into being a coach, a burnout coach for women that were in her shoes, and she's already signed her first client. So let me tell you that if you put your vision, your feelings— it's about a feeling— on a board, whether it's in your face every day and digital, I recommend both, that's just me, it happens. Uh, Madeline as well, I mean, her feeling, her word, her intention for the year— that's what I ask people to do— pick a word. Do you have a word for 2023 yet? Hers was about Christ consciousness and, um, the Mother, the Holy Mother. So that's what's in the center of her board, and then everything branches out. How can she bring in the Holy Mother into her board? How can she bring in New Year? She loves birds, she loves clarity, she loves to connect, she loves to play, she loves healthy food. Who doesn't? Right? And, uh, this one is Marsha's. This is her. She put a swan in the middle and her word was joy. And she absolutely knew that after retiring— she retired after 50 years, can you believe this beautiful soul? She is now a death doula. So she stopped, she listened, she stepped into her into her joy. And she remembered the spirit of the swan. And the swan is all about, uh, grace and majesty and presence. And think about the Ugly Swan, that story. That's a hero's journey, isn't it? So isn't it time for you to step into yours? And here's mine. I did it digitally. And look, mine was joy as well. And twos. Twos were very important. I love numbers and numerology and Christ consciousness. And top corner, left corner, the beautiful circle with women and community. Then you've got the turtle. I love the turtle. I'm actually taking care of a tortoise. Um, his name is Frankie, and he's right behind my computer. But as you can see, health and, and money and prosperity. And then I put in an affirmation for the year. I, I love it. So what is going to be your word for 2023? And, uh, in December I've got some weekly challenges coming up as well as we go into 2023, so stay tuned for that. And next week we'll— we will be talking about our liver health, our liver. Very important, something I struggled with for a long time. And, uh, because really we're here to— the more that you upgrade and assimilate, you need— your body needs to follow, not only just your mind but your body and spirit. That's how everything opens. It's not about doing some magical trick to open your third eye, and if I do all these things in my chakras and blah blah blah. No, no, no, you do it every day These are just activations, but you have to practice, rinse, repeat, chop wood, carry water. And I want to show you Frankie here. I'm just going to flip my camera. Where is he? There he is. I don't know if you could see him. There's Frankie. Uh, I had him on, uh, I took him out, uh, where I am, and we call it the zoo here because there's two dogs, a cat 3 budgies and a red-footed tortoise. I put them on the floor. Wow, you think turtles are slow? Not when they're given freedom and a way to run. So everything is open and available for you. Open up and run. Open up and run. And I can't wait to see you in this community.
