The Art of Awakening

What if grief is not something we are meant to get over, but something we can learn to move with?

In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Sue Morter is joined by bestselling author, and grief expert Dr. Laura Berman to explore grief as an expression of love, a teacher, and a doorway into deeper presence.

Together, they explore why resisting emotion can keep us stuck, how grief and joy can exist at the same time, and why our capacity for life can expand when we allow ourselves to move honestly through loss. Dr. Laura also shares practical insights from her new book, Crying Out Loud: A Path Through Grief, including grounding, emotional release, community support, and ways to remain connected to the love that continues.

In this episode of The Art of Awakening, Dr. Sue Morter explores the hidden cost of comparison and how easily someone else’s success, relationship, body, or timing can make us question our own lives. 

Rather than treating comparison as something to simply “stop doing,” Dr. Sue looks at what it may be revealing beneath the surface, from scarcity and self-doubt to unacknowledged desires and borrowed expectations. She also explores how comparison can pull our awareness out of the body and away from our own path, especially in a world where we are constantly exposed to other people’s lives.

This episode is an invitation to reclaim the energy spent measuring, judging, and second-guessing, and return to your own truth, timing, and experience with greater presence and trust.

In this episode of The Art of Awakening, Dr. Sue Morter explores what may really be happening beneath procrastination, unfinished projects, and the things we keep putting off. Rather than seeing a lack of follow-through as laziness or failure, she invites us to look at the deeper patterns that can make completion feel vulnerable, including perfectionism, fear of being seen, uncertainty, and the identity shifts that can come with finishing what we started.

Dr. Sue also explores the energy we leave tied up in incomplete decisions and open loops, and how conscious completion does not always mean pushing through. Sometimes it means finishing. Sometimes it means clearly choosing to let go. Through greater awareness, listeners are invited to reclaim the energy held in what remains unresolved, take the next honest step, and build deeper trust in themselves and what they are here to create.
