  • When Life Floods In: Is It Chaos—or a Spiritual Reset?

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the chaos around you isn’t only disruption—but an invitation to clear out what no longer serves you?

    In this episode, we explore flooding as both a physical reality and a powerful metaphor for cleansing, renewal, and transformation. When life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control, where does your power actually lie?

    We dive into inner leadership, emotional awareness, personal responsibility, and the power of staying present rather than getting swept away by everything happening around you.

    We also explore how AI, competition, relationships, and collective energy can challenge us to become more conscious of what we think, feel, and choose.

    Are you directing your energy—or allowing circumstances to direct it for you?

    Sometimes the greatest transformation begins when we stop resisting the flood of change and ask: What am I being called to do now?

    Through conscious action, giving, self-regulation, and choosing where we place our light, even chaotic times can become an opportunity for greater purpose, growth, and fulfillment.

  • Are Your Angels Trying to Guide You? How to Recognize Your Spiritual Helpers

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if you have spiritual helpers around you—and you've been receiving their guidance without realizing it?

    In this episode of Nourishing the Soul, Dr. Sandra Adler and TNT SpiritWorks explore the fascinating world of angels, spiritual helpers, intuition, and inner guidance.

    Dr. Adler shares her spiritual perspective that each of us has helpers who support us throughout our journey and help us stay connected to our life purpose. But how do we recognize them? And how do we know when they're trying to get our attention?

    We explore experiences people often associate with spiritual guidance—from goosebumps, chills, warmth, first impressions, and intuitive knowing to those moments when something inside simply says, “Pay attention.”

    You'll also hear personal stories about communicating with spiritual helpers and why Dr. Adler believes children may naturally recognize their helpers before adults teach them to dismiss those experiences as imagination.

    This conversation invites you to explore:

    Are you listening to everyone else's opinions—or are you making space to hear your own inner guidance?

    Whether you call them angels, guides, helpers, or spiritual companions, this episode may inspire you to become more aware of the subtle ways you experience guidance in your everyday life.

  • Are You Living YOUR Truth—or What Society Taught You? | My Society

    Send us Fan Mail

    How much of what you believe about yourself was actually chosen by you?

    From our earliest years, family, school, relationships, culture, and society begin shaping how we understand love, success, judgment, belonging—and even who we think we're supposed to become.

    In Episode 7 of Nourishing the Soul, Dr. Sandra Adler and TNT SpiritWorks explore My Society and the powerful influence our environment can have on the way we see ourselves and others.

    What happens when the rules and expectations we've learned begin to overshadow our own inner knowing and sense of purpose?

    This conversation explores childhood conditioning, judgment, love, belonging, personal experiences, spiritual awareness, and the journey of discovering what feels genuinely true for you.

    And there's an important message for parents, grandparents, and anyone supporting children:

    Can we help children learn how to live in society without teaching them to lose themselves in the process?

    Perhaps spiritual growth isn't always about learning something new. Sometimes it's about examining what we've absorbed from the world around us—and reconnecting with who we are underneath it all.

  • Are You Trusting Your Feelings—or Thinking Yourself Out of Them?

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if your feelings aren’t something to control—but something to understand? ❤️

    In Episode 6 of Nourishing the Soul, Dr. Sandra Adler and I explore My Feelings and the importance of helping children—and ourselves—become more secure in what we feel.

    So often we're taught to question, suppress, or explain away our feelings. But what happens when we begin to notice them, understand them, and trust what they're communicating?

    This conversation explores feelings, learned emotional reactions, first impressions, and the relationship between our inner knowing and our intellect.

    And perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can give a child is not telling them how they should feel, but giving them a safe place to discover what they're feeling for themselves.

    ✨ Feel it. Recognize it. Understand it. Trust yourself.

  • Is Overthinking Blocking What You Already Know?

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if your intellect was never meant to be in charge of your life?

    In Episode 5 of Nourishing the Soul, Teresa Shantz and Dr. Sandra Adler explore My Intellect, Volume Five of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children.

    Dr. Adler shares a different way of looking at the relationship between our feelings, intuition, and intellect. Rather than allowing the mind to analyze and second-guess everything, she describes the intellect as an incredible tool that helps us organize, communicate, and bring our inner impressions into action.

    And this may be especially important for children.

    What if instead of always telling a child what to think, we asked:

    “What was your first impression?”

    Helping children recognize those first impressions can encourage greater self-trust, confidence, intuition, and independent thinking as they grow.

    And for adults, this episode raises an equally powerful question:

    Are you using your intellect as a tool—or has your intellect become the boss?

  • Are You an Overthinker—or an Over-Giver? Here’s What It Reveals

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if helping a child find balance isn’t about controlling their emotions—but helping them understand the relationship between what they feel and what they think?

    In Episode 4 of Nourishing the Soul, Teresa Shantz and Dr. Sandra Adler explore My Balance, Volume Four of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children.

    We explore how a child’s feelings and intellect can work together, rather than one overpowering the other. When children begin recognizing their first impressions, understanding their feelings, and using their intellect to organize what they know, they can develop greater self-trust, confidence, emotional awareness, and inner balance.

    This conversation also invites parents and grandparents to look at their own balance. Are you constantly analyzing and second-guessing yourself? Or do your feelings sometimes take over and leave you overwhelmed?

    Balance isn’t about being perfect. It’s about learning to recognize when we’re off-center—and knowing how to come back to ourselves.

    A thought for every feeling. A feeling for every thought.

  • Is the World Changing—or Is Your Consciousness Changing?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Why does the world feel so intense right now—and what if your reaction to it is telling you something about your own spiritual growth?

    In this episode with  TNT SpiritWorks and Tiger Coll, D.D. we explore consciousness, self-awareness, and what it means to stay spiritually grounded while navigating news, relationships, uncertainty, and the challenges happening around us.

    Instead of asking, “What is the world doing to me?” we explore a more empowering question:

    “How is this experience helping me grow?”

    As your consciousness expands, you may begin responding differently to fear, conflict, change, and even the people around you. You become clearer about where you begin and end, more confident in your decisions, and more willing to trust your own inner guidance.

    We also explore why spiritual growth isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about learning how to live in it without losing yourself.

    What if everything happening around you is an opportunity to become more of who you truly are?

  • Does Your Soul Leave Your Body When You Sleep?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Together, we explore a fascinating spiritual perspective on sleep, the soul, our spiritual home, and the connection between our physical and spiritual selves.

    Dr. Adler shares her perspective on the silver cord, the energetic connection believed in some spiritual traditions to remain with us while we sleep, and how children may naturally sense or understand aspects of the unseen world that adults have learned to question.

    We also explore how parents and grandparents can create space for children to talk about their dreams, intuitive experiences, spiritual awareness, and inner knowing—without immediately defining those experiences for them.

    In Episode Three of the Nourishing the Soul Podcast Series, Teresa Shantz continues her conversation with Dr. Sandra Adler, author of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children, as they explore Book Three: My Home.

    Together, they look at home from a spiritual perspective and explore how parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers can help children understand belonging, connection, their spiritual self, and their place within the larger universe

    Rather than telling children what they should believe, this conversation encourages adults to become curious about what children already feel, sense, see, and know.

    What happens when we ask a child questions—and then truly listen to the answers?

    My Home offers another opportunity to create meaningful conversations with children while encouraging them to trust their own inner awareness.

    ✨ Because perhaps home isn’t only somewhere we live. It can also be something we carry within us.

    What if children already have a strong sense of who they truly are—and our job is to help them trust it?

    In Episode Two of the Nourishing the Soul Podcast Series, Teresa Shantz talks with Dr. Sandra Adler, author of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children, about Book Two: The Real Me.

    Together, they explore the idea that we are more than our physical bodies. Dr. Adler shares her spiritual perspective on the soul, intuition, inner knowing, life purpose, and the spiritual awareness children may naturally experience.

    This episode invites parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers to consider how we can nurture children’s natural curiosity without telling them what they should experience or believe.

    Because perhaps helping a child discover The Real Me isn’t about giving them more answers.

    It’s about helping them trust the answers they discover within themselves.
