Science + Spirit with Katie Hilborn

Episode 102: Science + Spirit with Katie Hilborn

Today’s episode focuses on the place where spirit and science meet. Spiritual concepts are poking their way into the mainstream more and more these days, and science has proven to be a great partner in bringing esoteric concepts down to earth. 

This week’s guest, Katie Hilborn, has relied on the works of Einstein, Kaku and Tesla to accompany her spiritual quest and awakening. In this episode we talk about how she went from curious kid to change-maker, empowering others to drive change both locally and abroad since 2006.

Katie Hilborn is a keynote speaker, changemaker, and the founder of Global Orphan Prevention. She was awarded as the runner-up for Millennial Changemaker of the Year for her efforts surrounding the 2015 Nepal earthquakes and her humanitarian work has been featured on the ABC Morning Show, Women of Denver, Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, and various media outlets. Since 2011, Katie has recruited volunteers and inspired people to help aid her in humanitarian projects totaling over 30,000 hours!    

We talk about:

• Evolving from the type of person who only talks about other people
• Self-actualization through travel, and how it creates perspective
• Hiccups along the awakening path, cycling between awake and asleep
• Activating her group of friends towards their own awakening
• Her exploration of world religions and philosophies, and looking for common threads
• Quantum mechanics, vibration and frequency
• How her brother’s coming out pointed out the hypocrisy of the structures she was raised in and prompted her own spiritual self-discovery and scientific curiosity
• String Theory and M-Theory and how it helped explain her spirituality
• Advice for others on the awakening process
• The importance of intuition when going down the rabbit hole
• The Earth Consciousness Grid and how it relates to her purpose
