  • The Inner Ping: Trusting the Quiet Voice Within & Healing the Mother Wound

    🔥 EPISODE 23: THE INNER PING
    Trusting the Quiet Voice Within & Healing Your Mother Wound
    With Ashleigh Sinclaire, Transformational Storyteller

    What if your intuition isn’t the loudest voice in the room—but the quietest?

    Recorded beside the river at Aspen Grove Campground in northern Montana, this intimate campfire conversation welcomes transformational storyteller, irreverent provocateur, and self-described “angelic badass” Ashleigh Sinclaire.

    Ashleigh introduces us to what she calls “the inner ping”—the subtle sensation that arises when something deep within recognizes the next right step. Unlike fear, conditioning, or the racing mind, this knowing doesn’t shout. It arrives quietly, simply, and often in only a few words.

    Together, Zan, Troy, and Ashleigh explore:

    🔥 Distinguishing intuition from fear, ego, and old wounds
    🔥 Why the loudest inner voice isn’t always the truest
    🔥 How nature, silence, and grounding return us to ourselves
    🔥 Seeing our mothers as women with their own histories and wounds
    🔥 Healing without waiting for someone else to change or apologize
    🔥 Sitting at the edge of difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed
    🔥 Releasing resistance and learning to “adjust everywhere”

    Ashleigh also shares the story behind The Mother Monologues, her deeply personal one-woman show exploring the complicated, painful, funny, and ultimately transformative journey between mother and daughter.

    The conversation becomes especially vulnerable as Zan and Troy examine their own relationships with their mothers, the wounds they still carry, and the possibility that healing begins when we stop trying to control another person’s journey and turn toward our own.

    Sometimes the next step isn’t a dramatic revelation. Sometimes it is one quiet ping asking us to pause, listen, breathe, and trust ourselves.

    🔥 CAMPFIRE QUESTION

    When the noise of fear, expectation, and conditioning becomes quiet, what is your inner knowing trying to tell you?

  • When the Path Disappears: Trust, Intuition & Knowing When to Turn Around

    What happens when the path you thought you were following simply… disappears?

    Coming to you from Wyoming and the Grand Tetons, Episode 22 of the Sacred Souljourners Podcast continues our Season 2 exploration of one powerful word: TRUST.

    After months on the road—two humans, three dogs and a travel trailer—we're discovering that trust isn't something you simply decide to have.

    It's something you practice.

    In this episode, we share a recent hike where the trail became increasingly unclear until eventually…the path disappeared. What began as an adventure in nature became a real-life lesson in intuition.

    When do you keep pushing forward?
    When do you stop?
    How do you distinguish fear from the inner voice telling you it's time to turn around?

    We're learning that intuition isn't always a booming voice.

    Sometimes it's a nudge.
    A feeling.
    A moment of resistance.
    A hawk circling overhead.
    A stranger who appears at exactly the right time.
    Or a quiet knowing that says, “Not this way.”

    We also talk about boondocking in Wyoming, navigating challenges in our relationship, preparing for colder weather, unexpected “divine appointments,” and learning to surrender our need to know exactly how everything is going to work out.

    At the center of this conversation is a question we're both learning to live:

    Can you trust when you don't have confirmation that everything is going to be okay?

    Troy shares how his relationship with trust is changing—from needing proof and certainty to recognizing that he may not know how something will work out and still trust that somehow, it will.

    Maybe that's part of learning to hear our intuition.

    When we stop trying to control every outcome, we create enough stillness to hear the part of ourselves that already knows.

    This isn't about blindly following every feeling. It's about becoming curious enough to ask:

    What is fear saying?
    What is my intuition saying?
    Am I forcing something because I'm afraid to turn around?
    What might happen if I trusted myself enough to listen?

    🔥 Pull up a seat around the fire.

    If you've ever reached a place in life where the map no longer makes sense, this conversation is for you.

    Sometimes losing the path doesn't mean you're lost. Sometimes it's the moment you finally learn to listen.

  • The Child Behind the Trigger: Who is Manifesting Your Life? — Healing Hidden Blocks with Ning Li

    EPISODE 21 - SEASON 2 PREMIERE

    What if the thing standing between you and the life you desire is not a lack of faith, but a younger part of you that does not feel safe enough to receive it?

    Recorded from Grand Lake, Colorado, Zan and Troy welcome Ning Li, creator of Inner Child Alchemy.

    Ning shares how achievement, financial success and relationships failed to heal what was hurting beneath the surface. Reading The Truth by Neil Strauss led him to a therapy conference and an inner-child letter-writing practice that changed his life.

    Ning explains how present-day conflict, rejection, money, visibility and love can awaken fear, shame or scarcity rooted in childhood. Our triggers may not prove we are failing. They may reveal the subconscious blocks standing between us and what we want to create.

    We explore reparenting the younger self, healing through conscious relationships and why manifestation may be less about forcing a "high vibration" and more about listening to the parts of us that are afraid to receive.

    IN THIS EPISODE

    • Childhood triggers
    • Inner-child letters
    • Reparenting
    • Shame and scarcity

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Triggers can reveal where healing is needed.
    • Shame is learned; it is not who you are.
    • Fear may reveal what feels unsafe to receive.
    • New responses create new possibilities.

  • Are You Living It… or Just Going Through the Motions? Finding the Sacred Through Experience
    Are You Living It… or Just Going Through the Motions?Finding the Sacred Through Experience

    What if spirituality isn’t something we’re meant to simply believe, understand or practice—but something we’re meant to experience?

    In episode 20 this week, we’re recording lakeside from beautiful Grand Lake, Colorado, after a week that became an unexpected immersion into the sacred.

    For Troy, it was a week of firsts.

    A sweat lodge. Sacred Sanskrit chanting and kirtan. A tea ceremony. Soaking in mountain water. Walking a labyrinth. Picking up an old telephone in the forest and speaking from the heart to someone who had passed. Seeing his first moose and an entire herd of elk. And finally, standing high in the Rocky Mountains realizing just how much of life he had missed while he was busy working through it.

    But underneath all of those experiences, something much bigger was happening.

    As a former Baptist pastor, Troy spent years believing there was a particular way spirituality was supposed to look. This journey is teaching him something different: the sacred can meet us in places we never expected—if we're willing to experience something before judging or defining it.

    He shares a powerful realization:

    For years, he knew how to go through the motions.

    Church. Prayer. Tradition. Doing the “right” things.

    But going through the motions isn't necessarily the same as feeling connected.

    Meanwhile, returning to Colorado brought Zan face-to-face with her own transformation. Coming back to old friends and familiar places as a different version of herself raised another question:

    What if changing doesn't mean we've lost ourselves? What if we're actually coming closer to who we really are?

    In this episode we explore ceremony, worship, nature, balance, intuition, synchronicity, inner healing, conscious relationships, spiritual curiosity—and what happens when we become willing to encounter God, Source and the sacred outside the boxes we've created for them.

    Maybe the invitation isn't to find another belief system.

    Maybe it's simply to become curious enough to live the experience.

    So this week we're leaving you with a question:

    Where in your life is the sacred inviting you into an experience you've been trying to understand from the outside?

    Maybe it's time to get curious.

  • What Are You Willing to Put in the Fire? Sacred Ceremony, Shadow Work & Choosing What Matters
    WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT IN THE FIRE?Sacred Ceremony, Shadow Work & Choosing What Matters

    What do you hold sacred—and what are you willing to release in order to protect it?

    This week in Episode 19, Sacred Souljourners comes to you from Broomfield, Colorado, where we sit down with our dear friends Jen and Brian before Troy experiences his very first sweat lodge.

    Jen and Brian Berryhill share how their journey into Sundance, sweat lodge ceremony and Indigenous teachings passed to them through Chief Golden Light Eagle transformed not only their spiritual lives, but their 25-year marriage. We explore ceremony, shadow work, conscious relationships, discernment, forgiveness and what it means to recognize something as sacred enough to tend, protect and choose again and again.

    Jen shares how becoming a mother cracked open her spiritual journey, how shadow work changed her life and marriage, and how she now bridges two seemingly different worlds—supporting people through divorce and family transitions while bringing compassion, emotional awareness and spiritual understanding into some of life's hardest moments.

    And then we each answer the question we ask every guest:

    What are you willing to put in the fire? 🔥

    Grief.
    The story that says I'm not good enough.
    Rage.
    Reaction.
    The energies and old wounds that keep us from living from our highest selves.

    Maybe transformation isn't about becoming someone new.

    Maybe it's about finally releasing what keeps us from coming home to who we already are.

  • Breathing Through the Stories That Keep Us Stuck

    Breathing Through the Stories That Keep Us Stuck
    With Chad Shober of The Pneuma Experience

    What if the breath moving through you isn’t simply keeping you alive—but quietly inviting you home?

    We recorded Episode 18 from our campsite in the Ozarks, this week’s campfire conversation welcomes Chad Shober, founder of The Pneuma Experience, for a powerful exploration of breath, presence and spiritual remembering.

    The word “pneuma” means breath, air or spirit—the Divine breath that gives us life. But this conversation isn’t about mastering another breathing technique. Chad invites us into something much simpler and deeper: pausing long enough to breathe with what is already here.

    What happens when life doesn’t meet our expectations? When our nervous system becomes overwhelmed, our thoughts create painful stories or we react from fear instead of responding from love?

    Can we stop fighting the moment and breathe through it?

    During this episode, Chad guides Troy through a deeply personal experience. Troy has often described his mind as a battlefield—a place where fear and stories take over. But rather than trying to silence, conquer or fix his mind, Chad invites him to create a new relationship with it:

    “I love my mind. I breathe with my mind.”

    In that moment, the conversation moves beyond information and becomes a living experience of coming home—from the noise of the mind to the wisdom of the heart.

    Together, we explore:

    • Why the breath is more than a physical function
    • How pausing helps us move from reaction to response
    • Breathing through difficult emotions instead of around them
    • The connection between breath and nervous-system regulation
    • How our language reinforces the stories we believe
    • Releasing the need to judge, fix or control ourselves and others
    • Coming home to the heart through presence
    • Spiritual awakening as spiritual remembering
    • Why every part of our experience belongs
    • How coherence creates space for love without requiring agreement

    At the heart of this episode is a profound reminder: we are all seeking to know that we are loved, that we matter, that we haven’t been forgotten and that we belong.

    Perhaps we were never truly lost.

    Perhaps we only forgot.

    This episode is an invitation to stop trying to breathe around the parts of life that feel uncomfortable. Bring them closer. Sit with them. Breathe through them. Allow the breath to carry you beneath the stories and back to the presence that has always been waiting within you.

    If you are seeking greater peace in your life, don’t miss this episode.

    Take a pause. Take a breath. Come sit with us around the fire.

    ABOUT OUR GUEST

    Chad Schober is the founder of The Pneuma Experience, a space rooted in presence, breath and spiritual remembering. Rather than offering another rigid teaching or program, Chad invites people to experience what becomes possible when they slow down, breathe and listen to the wisdom already living within them.

  • The Bridge Between Faith & Consciousness: Jesus speaks both

    The Bridge Between Faith & Consciousness:When surrender, healing, and love become more important than being right.


    This week in Episode 17:

    What happens when your faith is challenged... and healing shows up in the place you least expect?

    This week our journey takes us from a painful confrontation between Troy and his son over faith, identity, and leaving the church... to an unexpected prayer during a windshield repair... to a Bible study in Cleveland, Tennessee that completely changed our perspective.

    Along the way, we explore what happens when Christianity, consciousness, nervous system healing, and personal transformation stop competing and begin speaking the same language.

    We also share Troy's battle through nicotine withdrawal, the illusion of control, surrender, abandonment wounds, and what personal power really looks like when life doesn't go according to plan.

    This conversation isn't about choosing religion or spirituality. It's about discovering that truth can arrive through many doorways when love is at the center.

    Around this week's campfire:

    🔥 Can faith and consciousness coexist?

    🔥 What happens when old wounds shape our beliefs?

    🔥 Why is surrender so difficult?

    🔥 What if healing is less about being right... and more about becoming free?

    If you've ever questioned your beliefs, wrestled with your faith, or wondered if there is a bridge between spirituality and Christianity, this conversation is for you.

    Welcome to the campfire.

  • The Storm Will Come—How Quickly Can You Return to Yourself?

    EFT, Inner-Child Healing & Nervous-System Regulation with Nancy Gnecco

    Day one of our journey begins with a conversation that reaches straight into the heart of why we react, what we carry, and how we begin to heal.

    In Episode 16, we sit around the fire with Nancy Gnecco—psychotherapist, energy-psychology consultant, and one of only 29 EFT Founding Masters—to explore Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly known as tapping.

    Nancy helps us understand how childhood experiences can become beliefs, patterns, and emotional reactions that follow us into our adult relationships. Together, we talk honestly about anger, abandonment, fear, the inner child, and what happens when two wounded nervous systems meet in the middle of a conflict.

    Troy shares how fear once became anger—and how returning to the wounded parts of his childhood has helped him respond from the man he is today instead of the frightened little boy he once was. Zan shares what she is learning about witnessing emotional reactions without immediately becoming part of them.

    As Nancy reminds us, healing is not about never being triggered or never encountering another storm. It is about learning how to return to ourselves more quickly when the storm arrives.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What EFT tapping is and how it may support emotional regulation
    • How childhood experiences shape adult beliefs and reactions
    • Why couples often become two wounded children fighting to be heard
    • Moving from fear and anger toward awareness and love
    • Why healing our past does not weaken us—it helps us become whole
    • Gratitudes, acknowledgments, and affirmations
    • A guided tapping exercise you can experience with us

    Nancy also shares an exclusive Souljourner offer: four private sessions, including the initial intake, for $500. To request the offer, mention that you are a Souljourner when contacting her.

    Learn more about Nancy at nancygnecco.com.

    Come sit by the fire with us. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You only have to remain curious—and keep finding your way home.

  • Control becomes the Cage: From Control to Curiosity
    Control Becomes the Cage – From Control to Curiosity

    What if the thing you're trying hardest to control... is the very thing keeping you from experiencing peace?

    In Episode 15 this week around the campfire, Zan and Troy are joined by special guest Penny Cook of Cook Family Moringa Farm for one of their most honest conversations yet.

    What began as a search for a replacement truck became something much deeper.

    A blown motor.
    A dealership that didn't work out.
    A nervous system pushed to its limits.
    A relationship learning to choose curiosity over certainty.

    Together, they explore what happens when life doesn't follow the plan—and how surrender often opens doors that force never could.

    In this episode you'll hear:

    ✨ Why "control" often disguises itself as safety
    ✨ The truck that wasn't... and the unexpected detour that followed
    ✨ How nervous system reactions can hijack our relationships
    ✨ Why curiosity creates connection while certainty creates conflict
    ✨ Penny's story of expectations, perfectionism, and learning to trust life on the farm
    ✨ The healing power of allowing space in relationships without making it mean separation
    ✨ How asking better questions changes everything

    This isn't a conversation about having all the answers.

    It's about becoming aware enough to ask better questions.

    Because sometimes...

    Control becomes the cage.

    And curiosity becomes the key.

    🔥 Introducing Campfire Witness Conversations with Zan & Troy

    During this episode, Penny and her husband Matt experienced one of our first Campfire Witness Conversations, and we share what they discovered through simply being seen, heard, and witnessed.

    We currently have 2 FREE Beta Sessions available (a $222 value) for couples who would like to experience this offering.

    What is a Campfire Witness Conversation?

    This is not therapy.
    This is not counseling.
    This is not mediation.

    It is a sacred, guided conversation where two conscious couples gather in a safe container.

    Together we create space to:

    🔥 Be seen without judgment
    🔥 Speak honestly and listen deeply
    🔥 Recognize relationship patterns with compassion
    🔥 Gain clarity through reflection rather than advice
    🔥 Practice curiosity over certainty
    🔥 Leave feeling more connected—to yourself and to each other

    Each session is approximately 60 minutes and is held privately over Zoom with Zan and Troy.

    The first two couples to reach out will receive this experience completely free as part of our beta launch.

  • What about listening changes everything?: The Space between Reaction & Response
    What About Listening Changes Everything? 🔥

    In Episode 14 we ask... "What if the quality of your life isn't determined by the answers you have... but by the questions you're willing to ask?"

    This week, Zan and Troy share one of the biggest breakthroughs they've experienced since beginning the Sacred Souljourners journey. They thought they were learning better communication. Instead, they discovered something much deeper:

    Better questions create better relationships.

    For years, they listened through fear, old wounds, abandonment, shame, and the stories their nervous systems created long before they met each other. What changed everything wasn't another communication technique—it was learning to pause, become curious, and ask better questions.

    In this deeply personal campfire conversation, they explore:

    🔥 Why asking better questions creates deeper connection.

    🔥 How curiosity is replacing certainty in their relationship.

    🔥 The power of creating each day with intention through meditation and affirmations.

    🔥 A peaceful paddle on the river, an alligator encounter, and a white feather that became unexpected reminders that life is always speaking.

    🔥 Why Jesus asked questions far more often than He gave answers—and what that teaches us about awakening and transformation.

    🔥 The launch of their first Campfire Witness Conversation, and why witnessing someone may be more powerful than trying to fix them.

    Throughout the episode, one question keeps returning:

    Where am I listening from?

    Am I listening from...

    • Curiosity?

    • Love?

    • Fear?

    • Protection?

    • My past?

    • Or the present moment?

    Often the greatest discovery isn't what another person says...

    It's realizing where we've been listening from all along.

    If you've ever felt misunderstood, caught in the same arguments, or wondered why relationships can feel so difficult, this conversation is for you.

    🔥 Campfire Questions

    Take these with you this week:

    • Where am I listening from?

    • What story am I making this mean?

    • What is my nervous system trying to protect?

    • What belongs to today...and what belongs to my past?

    • Where is life inviting me to expand today?
