🎙 10 Lessons Oprah Taught Me That Changed My Life
EPISODE 60 - Spiritual Awakening with Shaz Podcast
Oprah Live in-person
In this episode, I share the ten biggest lessons I took away from seeing Oprah live - a bucket-list moment that changed me on a soul-deep level.
I’d just returned from a New Zealand cruise, walked straight into a packed ICC auditorium of more than 8,500 people, and felt Oprah’s presence hit me like a frequency upgrade.
This episode is raw, personal, and full of the identity-shifting wisdom she activated in me. These teachings will land especially deeply if you’re navigating an awakening, shedding old identities, or stepping into a new era of self-trust.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
✔ Why your closest circle can make or break your growth
How jealousy, sabotage, or weird energy from “friends” tells you everything you need to know.
✔ Why believing people the first time saves you years of pain
You don’t need 29 versions of the same betrayal. Let clarity be enough.
✔ The power of collective awakening
What it was like sitting in a room of 8,500 humans hungry for healing, truth and purpose.
✔ Why being seen and heard is a fundamental human need
How invisibility shapes identity — and how finding people who see you changes everything.
✔ Obesity as a disease — not a moral failure
Oprah’s honesty around shame, trauma, biology and weight… and how it mirrors my own story.
✔ Oprah’s early bullying, naivety, and the beliefs she had to break
And how my own trauma, PTSD, and healing journey shaped the woman I’ve become.
✔ Intention as the foundation of identity
How intention guides your reality and why it’s more important than motivation.
✔ Why we collect identities that aren’t ours
People-pleaser, fixer, strong one, good girl — and why none of them are who you truly are.
✔ How people-pleasing steals your power
What happened when Oprah started honouring her boundaries… and how it mirrors the women in Shine.
✔ What a true “yes” feels like in the body
Why your mind will lie to you, but your body never will.
