Living Without Fear - Open-Heart Surgery and the Moment Everything Became Clear
Thu Feb 05 2026
What happens when life suddenly tells you to stop — and listen?In this deeply moving conversation, Esther sits down with Regan Caruthers, writer, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide, to talk about awakening, inner stillness, and the moments that change everything.Regan’s journey bridges early contemplative practice, her work at the HeartMath Institute, and years as a Silicon Valley corporate executive. She shares how a powerful awakening experience in her late twenties reshaped her inner world — and how, years later, being told she was dying led to the discovery of a severe heart condition and emergency open-heart surgery.Rather than panic, Regan met this moment with calm, presence, and deep trust — drawing on a lifetime of meditation, consciousness work, and inner discipline.This episode is for you if you’re:• feeling exhausted by the pace of life• questioning what truly matters• sensing your body is asking you to listen• longing for more clarity, boundaries, and inner peaceTogether, we talk about:🧘♀️ daily and micro-meditation practices❤️ listening to the heart — emotionally and physically✨ awakening through crisis and near-death experiences🌿 setting boundaries without guilt🤍 healing past wounds and choosing intentional growthThis conversation isn’t about escaping reality — it’s about learning how to meet life fully awake, grounded, and honest.
