Top Psychic: A MASSIVE COSMIC Shift Has BEGUN! There's No Going Back! | Colette Baron-Reid
watch
INTRODUCTION
How do we find peace when the world around us feels increasingly uncertain?
Between political division, economic anxiety, rapid technological change, and an endless stream of alarming headlines, it can be tempting to search for someone who can tell us exactly what happens next. But intuitive and spiritual teacher Colette Baron-Reid offers a different approach.
After nearly four decades working in the spiritual field, Colette believes the answer isn't certainty. It's learning to face ourselves honestly, developing a relationship with something greater than ourselves, and choosing how we participate in life even when we can't see what comes next. For her, hope isn't about guaranteeing a particular outcome. It's a way of meeting the unknown. Pasted markdown
In this conversation on the Inspired Evolution Podcast, Colette and Amrit explore shadow work, forgiveness, creativity, faith, uncertainty, and why our inner work may matter more than ever during periods of collective change.

The Door Out Is the Door In
Even after decades of teaching others, Colette is candid about continuing to confront her own blind spots.
One of the biggest she discovered was a fear of being seen.
Growing up with a mother who had survived war and rarely felt safe, Colette learned to protect herself by keeping parts of herself hidden. Over time, she created a public persona that could welcome people from many different perspectives, but she realized that this also left little room for her own anger, grief, and truth.
It led her to an important question:
What is standing in the way of me fully offering what I have to give?
For Colette, answering that question meant returning to music after more than two decades and allowing herself to express things she had previously kept quiet.
Her experience reflects a larger principle in her work: spiritual growth doesn't remove the need for inner work.
Colette has been open about her history of addiction, trauma, and violence. But she doesn't believe suffering is a requirement for awakening, nor does she believe people necessarily choose the painful things that happen to them.
Instead, the question becomes what we do with our experiences.
Are we willing to examine the resentment we're carrying?
Can we acknowledge our own part without turning responsibility into self-blame?
Can we forgive without pretending that what happened was acceptable?
Colette suggests taking a personal inventory: writing down resentments, shame, blame, and the parts of ourselves those experiences have affected.
One question becomes particularly powerful:
What is mine to own?
Sometimes freedom comes not from changing what happened, but from changing our relationship with it.
Colette describes carrying resentment toward her mother for years because of something she interpreted as betrayal. Only later did she reconsider the situation and recognize that her mother's actions may have come from fear of losing a relationship she valued.
The past didn't change.
Her understanding of it did.
This is why Colette describes blame as something that can keep us connected to the very people and experiences we're trying to escape. Forgiveness, in her framework, isn't approval. It's releasing ourselves from having to carry the experience forever.
As the outer world becomes increasingly unpredictable, Colette believes this inner work becomes even more important.
We keep searching for a door out of uncertainty.
But perhaps, as she puts it, the door out is the door in.
Hope Without Needing to Know What Happens Next
One of the most compelling ideas in the conversation is the distinction between hope as an outcome and hope as a disposition.
We often attach hope to something specific:
Everything will improve by this date.
I'll get this opportunity.
This relationship will work.
The world will finally settle down.
But when hope depends entirely on one outcome, uncertainty becomes difficult to tolerate.
Colette instead connects hope with faith.
Faith doesn't necessarily mean knowing what happens next. It means trusting that we can meet whatever comes, that our actions still matter, and that meaning may emerge even when we can't yet see the entire picture.
We may not see the whole staircase.
We only need to see the next step.
This perspective also shapes how Colette approaches intuitive predictions.
She doesn't describe the future as fixed. What she perceives are potentials, and human choices can change trajectories.
That makes learning to live with uncertainty essential.
Colette encourages us to make friends with the unknown rather than constantly trying to eliminate it. Certainty was never truly guaranteed in the first place, and the unknown is also where possibility, discovery, and change exist.
This becomes especially important when consuming information.
When we're constantly exposed to frightening headlines, our attention becomes increasingly trained toward threat. Soon, we begin noticing more reasons to be afraid.
Colette playfully suggests replacing some doomscrolling with "bloom scrolling"—deliberately looking for examples of kindness, progress, beauty, creativity, and people helping one another.
This isn't about pretending suffering doesn't exist.
It's about remembering that suffering isn't the only thing that exists.
Where we repeatedly place our attention affects how we experience the world.
And when fear becomes overwhelming, curiosity becomes much harder.
Creativity as an Antidote to Fear
For Colette, one of the most powerful ways to remain alive and engaged during uncertain times is creativity.
And creativity doesn't have to mean becoming an artist.
It can mean changing your routine.
Taking a different route home.
Writing something you've been afraid to say.
Learning something new.
Painting, knitting, gardening, making music, starting a conversation, or simply approaching an old problem differently.
Creativity interrupts autopilot.
At 68, Colette returned to music and recorded her first album in 22 years—something she considers among the best creative work of her life.
Her experience raises another useful question:
What have you stopped doing that you know matters to you?
Maybe you've convinced yourself you're too old.
Maybe you're afraid you're not talented enough.
Maybe comparison made something you once loved feel pointless.
Colette's encouragement is simple: do it anyway.
Creativity doesn't need to produce fame, money, or recognition to be meaningful. Sometimes its purpose is simply to reconnect us with a part of ourselves that has been waiting to be expressed.
She uses the transformation of a caterpillar as a metaphor for periods of profound change.
Before becoming a butterfly, the caterpillar enters a stage in which its old form effectively breaks down. Colette uses the idea of imaginal cells symbolically: even in the middle of dissolution, something carries the possibility of what comes next.
Transformation can therefore feel confusing before it feels liberating.
There may be grief.
There may be uncertainty.
There may be periods when we don't recognize ourselves or the world around us.
But we don't need to know exactly what the butterfly will look like while we're still inside the cocoon.
We can keep creating.
Keep connecting.
Keep taking the next meaningful step.
And keep choosing what we want to contribute to the world around us.
Key Takeaways
Spiritual growth still requires ongoing self-reflection, even for people who teach or guide others.
Shadow work is about recognizing what we're carrying, not blaming ourselves for everything that happened to us.
Forgiveness doesn't require condoning harmful behavior; it can be a way of releasing our attachment to resentment.
Asking “What is mine to own?” can help distinguish personal responsibility from unnecessary self-blame.
Healthy hope doesn't have to depend on a specific outcome; Colette describes it as a disposition grounded in faith.
Intuitive insights and predictions are best understood as possibilities rather than fixed futures.
Constant exposure to frightening information can train our attention toward threat, so intentionally noticing positive stories can restore balance.
Making friends with uncertainty allows room for curiosity, discovery, and change.
Creativity can interrupt autopilot and reconnect us with parts of ourselves we've neglected or hidden.
In uncertain times, Colette encourages inner work, faith, human connection, creativity, and taking one meaningful step at a time.
Conclusion
Colette Baron-Reid doesn't offer certainty about where humanity is heading.
In many ways, that's the point.
She believes the future contains possibilities rather than guarantees, and our responsibility isn't to predict every turn. It's to become more conscious of how we're meeting the life that's already here.
That means doing our inner work without allowing our wounds to define us.
Forgiving without denying what happened.
Protecting our attention without ignoring reality.
Finding faith without demanding guarantees.
Creating even when we're afraid.
And remembering that genuine connection, with ourselves, with other people, and with whatever we understand as greater than ourselves, can remain available even when the world feels uncertain.
Peace may not come from finally knowing what's going to happen.
Perhaps it comes from realizing we don't need to know everything in order to take the next meaningful step.
