What does it mean to live a sovereign life?

In this powerful episode of the Beyonding Podcast, co-hosts Kailei Carr and Myra Capri sit down with author, human transformation thought leader, founder, and well-being advisor, Radiah Rhodes, to explore the concept of sovereignty—the ability to have supreme authority who you are and how you want to live your life.

Drawing from the Evok methodology she created, Radiah shares why we are all born with the capacity for self-determination, yet often find ourselves disconnected from it through conditioning, internal patterns, and external expectations. Together, they explore what it means to return to your truth, embrace the fullness of who you are, and consciously choose a life aligned with your deepest values.

The conversation dives into the difference between discipline and devotion, identity-led transformation, and the importance of expanding our awareness of what is possible for ourselves. As Radiah reminds us, sovereignty is not about becoming someone new…it's about reclaiming who you've always been.

If you've ever felt called to stop shrinking, think more of yourself, and fully express who you are, this episode is for you.

Radiah generously gifted Beyonding podcast listeners free access to the first issue of Radiah's new digital magazine, Live Sovereign.

ABOUT RADIAH RHODES

As the founder of Evók and author of Being Is the New Doing, Radiah has spent more than twenty-five years studying the relationship between identity, intention, leadership, well-being, and human potential.

Her journey began in engineering and executive leadership, where she learned to solve complex problems, build teams, and deliver results. Yet despite professional success, she discovered a truth that many high achievers eventually encounter: accomplishment alone does not create peace, fulfillment, or freedom.

Today, through Evók's educational platforms, ICF-accredited certifications, leadership assessments, licensing programs, and the Live Sovereign™ publication, Radiah helps people reconnect with the source of their lives—their identity—and build everything else from there.

Her work has supported executives, entrepreneurs, educators, coaches, organizations, and families seeking a more integrated way to live and lead.

Radiah is also a wife, mother, investor, entrepreneur, and legacy builder who believes that the greatest measure of success is not what we accumulate, but what we cultivate within ourselves and pass forward to others.

Her mission is to help people become the conscious architects of lives they genuinely love living.

Season Two of the Beyonding Podcast begins with an invitation: what does it mean to live, lead, and operate from a space of “beyond” in this moment in time?

In this powerful kickoff conversation, co-hosts Kailei Carr and Myra Capri explore what it means to elevate our consciousness in a world that often feels chaotic, disconnected, and resistant to truth. Together, they reflect on the importance of nurturing the spirit self, centering the nervous system, and creating sacred practices that allow us to access our highest selves with intention and devotion.

What happens when we slow down? What might we hear, feel, and remember if we step outside the noise and into stillness? 

In this solo episode, co-host Myra Capri opens her heart and mind to reflect on a truth many of us feel but rarely name: the unbearable urgency and unsustainable pace of the world around us. Speaking from a healing space, Myra invites us to consider how rushing through life steals our clarity, distorts our purpose, and disconnects us from the things that truly matter.

Myra explores her own journey of exhaustion, misalignment, and ultimately, the powerful reset that came with learning (and re-learning) how to rest.

This episode also dives into the ancient Greek concepts of time—Chronos (clock time) and Kairos (sacred timing)—offering a fresh lens on how we relate to time and how our time wounds are begging to be healed.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself. You’ll even be guided through a powerful visualization to help you anchor into stillness. Sometimes the most urgent thing we can do… is pause.

In this soul-stirring episode, co-hosts, Myra Capri and Kailei Carr, sit down with licensed therapist and coach, Aseanté Renee, and NAACP-Image Award nominated on-air talent, Gia Peppers. Together, they explore the powerful dynamic of sisterhood; how it becomes a space where we’re not only seen but reflected back to ourselves in safety and sacredness. The conversation moves through the layers of emotional honesty, from what it feels like and even the healing required within our own communities in order to be able to deeply connect in a healthy way. 

The ladies speak candidly about sisterhood as a journey that makes us feel richer together, while ultimately discovering sisterhood to be an unspoken language—particularly for Black women. They also explore the provocative question: "can we have sacred spaces with people who do not look like us?"

This conversation is a soft but powerful call to return to one another—to build, heal, and grow in ways that honor the best version of who we’re becoming. Sisterhood and Beyonding aren't just about the destination. It’s about showing up, even when we don’t know what’s on the other side.

This is Beyonding!
