How to Find Purpose and Meaning When You Don’t Know Where to Start With Martin Theis
Martin engages in shamanic journeys that promote spiritual awakening. He also started a business and a coaching practice to help his clients live fulfilled, peaceful, and joyful lives.
In this episode, Martin shared how he overcame his greatest pain point, the suffering he had from depression, and how the shamanic journey works.
He talks about why his business is called Light Trails because after starting his trial on building his business, things got lighter for him.
For Martin, the heaviness he felt for most of his life was the greatest teacher. Because yes, it is difficult to get out, but once you’ve done it, the learnings from it will be your strength.
The most important thing to break out of your depression is to keep moving. Martin journeyed a lot during his time of depression, which helped him keep moving and get closer to finding himself.
Reading spiritual books and spiritual awareness also helped him get in touch with himself and connect with the outside world that couldn’t pacify him.
Martin Theis discusses how Neale Donald Walsch’s book “Conversations With God,” which made him aware that there is a source of higher consciousness or God that we can connect to, changed his perspective. This guides him to know that he is not alone and God is there for him.
Martin Theis’s story is inspiring, spiritual, and calming. A story of someone who emerges from a difficult state and doesn’t stop pushing forward until he finds himself and builds a connection towards God and his creations.
Episode 228 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must-listen for anyone who has difficulties in breaking out of their depression and finding their purpose in life, looking for a motivating story of a man who keeps moving forward and pierces through all of the adversities in life.

In this episode, Maureen shared how she overcame and recover from her miserable life with different addictions such as drugs and alcohol
In her childhood, Maureen grew up in a large family. Following up on her teenage years, she thought that figuring out who she was is the way to break away.
Maureen started to walk on the wrong path. She begins to have sex, drugs, and alcohol, and skip schooling, all sorts of things a 15-year-old girl would never imagine doing.
When Maureen finally realizes that it is all her fault why she is in that situation, she begins to read books, and slowly, her thinking becomes more positive. And she never stops there. She started to walk on the path to personal growth and development and switched her addiction from alcohol and drugs. Since 1985, Maureen has not taken a drink or drug.
