How to Stay Always Connected to Spirit – Even When Life Feels Hard or Overwhelming | Suzanne Giesemann - EP 788
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
What if the guidance you’ve been searching for has been with you all along?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to stay connected to something greater than yourself—even during grief, uncertainty, illness, or life's most overwhelming moments.
If you've ever wondered whether you're truly alone, struggled to find peace in difficult seasons, or sensed that there is a deeper wisdom available to you, this conversation will give you practical tools to access it.
John welcomes Suzanne Giesemann back to Passion Struck. A former Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff turned evidential medium and spiritual teacher, Suzanne shares insights from her new book, Always Connected, and explains why our connection to spirit is never lost—even when we forget it.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
- The overlooked practice that helps create a deeper connection to intuition and spirit
- How to use Suzanne's three-minute "SIP of the Divine" method—even if meditation feels impossible
- How to distinguish genuine guidance from fear, doubt, and imagination
- Why adversity and physical challenges can become profound spiritual teachers
- What evidence-based mediumship reveals about grief, healing, and life beyond death
- Practical ways to navigate disappointment, self-worth struggles, and uncertainty with greater peace
Suzanne brings together military discipline, spiritual insight, and a grounded approach to the unseen. Whether you're exploring these ideas for the first time or have been walking this path for years, this conversation is a reminder that connection is not something you create—it is something you remember
.And perhaps the most important truth of all: even in your hardest moments, you are never alone.
