I was recently a guest on “Align with Laina,” a fun show about ordinary people who have spiritual awakenings. The show is hosted by Laina Orlando, a fellow student and teacher of A Course in Miracles and my new friend!
Our conversation was so uplifting, so deep, and so healing, that I felt moved to share the replay with you for this episode. You are going to love it!
We chat about all things anxiety:
- My journey of healing from anxiety disorders
- ACIM and my fear of death
- Shifting from curious to serious as a spiritual student
- Laina’s journey with her son’s drug addiction
- Coronavirus
- Life cannot be destroyed despite what the body’s eyes show us
- How challenges can be looked at as adventures.
- And more

ABOUT LAINA ORLANDO::
A modern-day mystic, Laina Orlando simplifies spirituality for today’s seeker of Truth through her fresh, fun and intuitive perspective. Laina’s own spiritual awakening propels her to share what is possible when one truly commits to navigating the path of Self-Awareness. As a mother, sister, friend, author, speaker, coach, creator of the Power of Awareness transformational workshops and teacher of A Course In Miracles, her mission is to awaken humanity to the magnificence within. Laina is very clear that if she can awaken, anybody can. Her mantra is: Life is fun and easy!
CORINNE’S TAKEAWAYS:
Here are my takeaways!
- Move from curious to serious. I love how Laina spoke about this! We can stay curious and dabble with spirituality or we can get serious about our spiritual studies, commit ourselves to doing this work, and find our freedom.
- Look at your current situation as an adventure. I love how Laina spoke about the adventure of her son’s drug journey. We can see anything as an adventure, even whatever we are currently facing with the pandemic. This shifts the situation from something that seems horrible into something lighter. We can then have an easier time moving through the challenge.
- Anxiety can help you recognize that you are a magnificent diamond. I share this in the beginning of the episode and it’s worth repeating. The pressure of anxiety can feel crushing. Yet, repurposed through Spirit, it has the power to help us awaken to the radiant and sparkling light that we are ALL made of.

Hi Corinne
I tried to get my rating on Apple podcast but for the life of me, couldn’t get to ratings and reviews for this podcast.
Its a 5 start rating for sure.
Here is my takeaway – I need to make a decision for the eternal…I wait for signs, I study the course and teach it but I keep waiting for the “proof”- to come first – What I got clearly in this listening from both you and Alaina is to put my will in willingness and take a stand in this pandemic…and in every other area I am experiencing anything but love. I can’t thank you both enough.
Hi Deb! I am joined with you in taking that stand. THANK YOU! And thank you for such kind words about 5 stars!! xo
Hi Corinne Loved the Podcast with Liana. I love your enthusiasm and courage to let your light shine and encouragement and wisdom you want to share with others. I suffered a lot of anxiety/ depression in College as well and they are supposed to be the best years of your life! TG now I believe and am beginning to experience every year can be the best year of my life. The line you of the song you mention “It is well with my Soul” reminds me of words written by an famous English spiritual anchorness (monk) woman Julian of Norwich “And all shall be well. And all shall be well. And all manner of things shall be exceeding well.”
Keep enjoying the adventure from Anxiety to love
Regards
Flor
Hi Flor!
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I am thrilled to hear you are now experiencing the truth that every year can be the best year. And those words you shared from the monk are GORGEOUS! Thank you!! xo
Hi, Corinne, I listen to your podcast via Spotify but can’t find a way to leave comments there.
I’ve gotten so much from your episodes, but this one is simply incredible,
thank you for sharing your interview with Laina, I hate the idea I’d miss this because I didn’t know her until now,
I loved how practical, candid and full of examples the conversation became,
and how you guys connect it all to pretty big concepts and lessons. I was in a great walk and will listen again to take notes!
Thanks for your book and all you do.
Love and peace,
Maria
Maria!
Yay! I’m so glad you loved the episode… I did too! Laina is an awesome teacher and I was so inspired by our discussion. Thank you so very much for stopping by to share here (you are correct, I don’t believe it is possible to leave comments on Spotify). Much love to you!
Corrine, your description of anxiety is amazing and spot on. It really puts into words all those awful feelings. I love your podcasts. Thank you.
Thank you so much Corinne for sharing Laina’s podcast here as I wouldn’t have heard it otherwise. I LOVE Laina’s outlook that everything is an adventure and found it so very inspiring how she chose to work with what was happening with her Son and how she remained so strong, faithful and in trust when it would have been so easy to fall down the fearhole. I always love hearing you story and your sharings, thank you both for being such gifts to us all <3
Thank you for your comment, Natasha! I loved this chat with Laina. She brought up so many inspiring and helpful points. Love you! xoxo
I got soooo much out of that [podcast Corrine! You two covered personal and deep!! Just the ACIM verses you seem to bring up as catalysts for you are some of the same ones that speak so loud to me also! And, I have to say this: I LOVE THAT YOU CONDENSE IT ALL AND RECAP IT WITH BULLET POINTS THAT MAKE ALL OF IT EVEN BETTER.
