Meg Calvin I Am My Own Sanctuary: The Power of Writing & Spiritual Awakening
Episode 22 of Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
Healing, transformation, and stepping into your power—this is what today’s episode is all about. I had the pleasure of speaking with Meg Calvin, bestselling author of Your Are Your Own Sanctuary and writing coach, as we explored the journey of spiritual awakening, healing past wounds, and using writing as a tool for personal transformation.
The Journey to Spiritual Awakening
Meg’s journey began within the religious ministry, where she spent years striving for external validation, always seeking to prove her worth. But deep inside, she knew there was something more—something beyond the structure of religious dogma. Through a profound awakening experience, she stepped into the world of metaphysics, intuitive coaching, and deep soul work, realizing that true transformation happens when we release old programming and allow ourselves to evolve.
She shares how her first moment of divine connection came as a child, singing in a gospel choir. That moment of harmony, breath, and presence allowed her to feel the tangible presence of something greater—a healing, loving source that knew and accepted her completely. From that moment, her journey unfolded in ways she never could have imagined.
Breaking Free from Conditioning
One of the most powerful topics we discussed was how society, religion, and early conditioning shape our self-perception. Meg shared that she spent years within ministry, unknowingly trapped in a cycle of people-pleasing, overworking, and seeking external approval. This is a cycle so many of us know all too well.
It wasn’t until she experienced a deep spiritual shift that she realized the power of saying no, trusting her own voice, and stepping out of old paradigms that no longer served her. Through past-life exploration and deep intuitive work, she uncovered limiting beliefs that had been carried across lifetimes—patterns of self-sacrifice, financial struggle, and self-doubt that had been imprinted on her soul.
Through healing, she realised: we are our own sanctuary. Everything we seek is already within us.
The Power of Writing in Healing & Awakening
Meg’s journey led her to discover the power of writing as a tool for transformation. She now works with authors, helping them move through their own blocks, uncover their true message, and bring their healing stories to the world.
She shared how writing is more than just putting words on a page—it’s about:
Owning your story and breaking free from past narratives
Healing through self-expression and deep self-reflection
Releasing fear and stepping into confidence in your voice
Manifesting a new reality through written intention
Channeling wisdom from spirit and ancestors through the creative process
So many people feel called to write, but fear holds them back—fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear of not being enough. But as Meg beautifully shares, when you finally give yourself permission to own your voice, you set yourself free.
Past Lives & Soul Contracts
One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was around past lives and karmic patterns. Meg shared a profound past-life regression experience that revealed deep soul contracts and karmic lessons she had carried into this lifetime.
She described how past-life trauma had kept her playing small, avoiding abundance, and fearing her own power. But through deep healing, she was able to release those limiting beliefs, reclaim her confidence, and fully step into her purpose as a guide for others.
This is something I see so often in my coaching—people unknowingly repeating old soul patterns, reliving the same lessons over and over again. But when we become aware of these patterns, we finally have the power to break free and rewrite our story.
You Are Your Own Sanctuary
The biggest message from this episode? Your healing, your transformation, your power—it all starts within you. No external validation, title, or approval can give you what you already have inside.
Meg’s book, I Am My Own Sanctuary, captures this journey of self-liberation, spiritual awakening, and reclaiming your power. If you’ve ever felt trapped in old cycles, uncertain of your path, or disconnected from your true essence, this conversation will remind you that everything you need is already within you.

Healing is a choice. It’s a decision to break free, to say yes to yourself, and to trust the path unfolding before you. If you’re feeling called to go deeper on your journey, this is your invitation.
