Designed to be Awake is a soul forward podcast by psychotherapist and writer Mick Kubiak. Mick invites listeners into a deeper, more conscious way of experiencing Life. With poetic insight and unflinching honesty, Mick explores the subject of awakening to who we truly are, the Self that lives eternally and pervasively at the heart of each and every one of our lives, beyond the reach and comprehension of our limited egos. She explores what it looks like, on a practical level, to wake up, surrender to what is, and live with full presence. Each weekly solo episode weaves together psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, offering reflections that bring the seemingly heady experience of enlightenment down to earth. This is a space for anyone who wants more from life than surface-level fixes for temporary problems (spoiler alert: all problems are temporary). If you’re on a path of inner work, healing, or awakening, this show will feel like coming home. New episodes drop every Monday. Learn more and join the list at mickkubiak.com

In this episode of Designed to Be Awake, I explore the life-changing idea from A Course in Miracles: “A healed mind does not plan.” This doesn’t mean we don’t take action or show up fully—it means we stop trying to control outcomes from a place of fear, and instead live from trust, presence, and inner alignment.
