The REAL Reason You Feel Lost in Life (& What to Do Next)

September 22, 2026

In June 2023, I sent an email that — looking back — still gives me chills.

I’d been reading Carissa Schumacher’s work since 2021. Something about it spoke to me deeply, and out of nowhere, I had this strong intuitive hit: I need to meet this woman. I need to go on one of her journeys.

So I reached out.

The very next day, my mom got sick, and life as I knew it changed forever.

For the next two and a half years, I was thrown into one of the most painful, challenging chapters of my life. And Carissa’s work became an important part of helping me navigate it.

Today’s MarieTV is unlike any conversation I’ve had before.

Carissa Schumacher is a world-renowned psychic medium and full-body channel for Yeshua. She also studied neuroscience at Brown University because she wanted to understand whether there was a scientific explanation for the unusual things she’d experienced since childhood.

Whether you’re deeply spiritual, wildly skeptical, or somewhere in the messy middle — come with an open mind and heart.

Because underneath the extraordinary parts of Carissa’s story is a conversation about something nearly all of us experience:

What do you do when the life you’ve built no longer feels like you?

Watch now to learn:

  • The 4 practices that can bring you back to balance: simplicity, stability, surrender & stillness
  • How to tell when you’ve outgrown a job, relationship, business, or chapter of your life
  • Why fear and resentment can be warning signs that something needs to change
  • The difference between “service through joy” and “servitude through suffering”
  • Why the messy, uncertain middle of a major life transition might be the most important part

One of my favorite ideas from our conversation is what Carissa calls the “Friday, Saturday, Sunday” framework.

Friday is the ending. Sunday is the new beginning.

But most of us want to skip Saturday. That’s the uncomfortable, messy middle where we don’t know what comes next. And in today’s conversation, we talk all about why.

Carissa’s work has reminded me that you don’t always need to rush to figure out what’s next.

Sometimes you need to get quiet.

Simplify.

Accept what is.

And create enough space to hear what your own inner wisdom has been trying to tell you.

You don’t have to believe everything Carissa or I believe to get something meaningful from this conversation. Just bring your curiosity and see what resonates for you.

If you want to explore Carissa’s work further, check out her books The Freedom Transmissions and The Alchemy Transmissions.

Now it’s your turn. Where in your life are you feeling that little inner nudge that something needs to change?

All my love,
