“Healing is uncomfortable, the dysfunction may be painful, but it’s familiar. Growth requires stepping into the unfamiliar.”

What if the wounds you carry aren’t just your own, but echoes of generations before you, and the path to freedom begins not with fixing the past, but by choosing to live differently today?

In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with psychologist, minister, and bestselling author Dr. Thema Bryant for a conversation that cuts to the heart of healing. Known for her groundbreaking work in trauma recovery and soulful living, Dr. Thema reveals that sensitivity, so often dismissed as weakness, is actually a profound gift, and that the very places we feel most broken can become the birthplace of compassion, resilience, and joy.

Together, we explore the hidden ways intergenerational trauma shapes our choices, relationships, and sense of self, and how cycles of pain can finally be interrupted. Dr. Thema shares how forgiveness is often misunderstood, why healing can feel uncomfortable, and the daily rituals that keep us anchored in love when the world feels overwhelming.

This is not just an interview about psychology. It’s a soulful roadmap back to yourself, an invitation to release the weight of shame, reclaim your voice, and create a lineage of freedom. With warmth and spiritual depth, Dr. Thema reminds us that healing isn’t reserved for a chosen few. It’s possible for you, too.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can truly heal, or longed to break free from patterns that don’t feel like they’re even yours, this episode will give you the hope, the tools, and the courage to begin.

Listen to this episode and learn how to transform sensitivity into strength, break cycles of inherited pain, and create a healing legacy of freedom and love.

“Relationship is a spiritual practice. It will awaken you, challenge you, and purify you from the inside out.”

Have you ever wondered why relationships start so magically, only to become messy, complicated, and sometimes painful? In the beginning, everything feels effortless: the butterflies, the passion, the fantasy of having finally found “the one.” But then reality sets in. The flaws appear. The masks drop. And you start to ask yourself, “Did I choose the right person?”

In this episode of Soul Talk, I take you on a journey through the six phases of a romantic relationship. Drawing from my marriage and years of witnessing couples struggle, grow, and transform, I reveal the deeper purpose of love and why so many of us get stuck in the early stages.

If you’ve ever struggled with love, felt like running when things got hard, or wondered how to keep a relationship alive after the initial spark fades, this episode will give you the roadmap. True love isn’t just a feeling; it’s a choice, a practice, and ultimately, a legacy that can inspire others.

Because real love doesn’t end at the honeymoon. Real love begins when the fantasy ends.

 “The system is geared for wellbeing. When given the right conditions, we naturally move toward it.”

What if true healing isn’t found by reliving the past, but by reconnecting with the unshakable support that’s been holding you all along?

In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with internationally acclaimed movement and breathing specialist Betsy Polatin for a deeply transformative exploration of trauma, embodiment, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Betsy, celebrated author of Humanual: An Epic Journey to Your Expanded Self, has spent decades guiding performers, musicians, actors, and everyday people toward greater freedom and ease. Drawing from the Alexander Technique, somatic education, and breath awareness, she reveals a life-changing truth: the body remembers what the mind forgets, and you don’t have to recall the story of your trauma to be free from it.

We dive into how unprocessed experiences silently shape the way you breathe, move, and respond to life; why healthy anger is essential while stored rage keeps you stuck; and how subtle shifts in awareness can unlock decades of tension. Betsy also leads a simple but powerful grounding practice you can use anytime to feel the unwavering presence of support beneath you, even amid life’s storms.

This is not just a conversation about trauma; it’s a reminder that your system is built for well-being. Transformation doesn’t have to be forced or dramatic. With the right awareness, your body knows exactly how to return to balance, release what no longer serves, and expand into a more grounded, spacious way of being.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by patterns you can’t explain or longed to feel more at home in your body, this episode offers both the understanding and the tools to begin that shift. Listen now and rediscover the grounded, unshakable self that has been within you all along.

• (00:53:09) - Advice for parents: raising healthy kids by working on yourself.

Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire. REGIS

“Strength without allowing support often becomes self-abandonment.”

Have you ever found yourself being the one everyone leans on, the strong one, the steady one, the one who always shows up? You’re the rock, the caretaker, the leader. But beneath the surface, there’s a quiet ache. A deep fatigue. A part of you is wondering, “When is it my turn to be held?”

In this episode of Soul Talk, I open up about the hidden cost of strength. From my early years as the son of a healer and spiritual leader, to the emotional weight I carried as a child, I share how becoming the “strong one” became my identity, and how it nearly kept me from truly healing.

We dive into the psychology of hyper-independence, the nervous system’s response to unmet childhood needs, and why so many of us find it easier to give than to receive. This episode is a wake-up call for the silent warriors, the ones who show up for everyone but struggle to let anyone show up for them.

Tune into this episode and learn how to release the pressure to be everything for everyone, reconnect to your own needs, and open your heart to receiving the love and support you deserve.

True strength isn’t about carrying it all alone. It’s about being human. Vulnerable. Seen. You were never meant to do this life by yourself, and you don’t have to anymore.

• (00:21:08) - A request: check in on someone strong in your life
• (00:22:04) - You’re allowed to receive, because you’re human

Some questions I ask:

• What childhood roles or dynamics shape our hyper-independence?
• How does being strong all the time become self-abandonment?
• Why is receiving sometimes more vulnerable than giving?
• What small steps can we take to invite support into our lives?

“Be with awareness. Let thought and emotion come and go. Don’t fight or follow. That’s how you find freedom.”

What if true freedom isn’t about controlling your mind, but remembering the awareness that’s always been there?

In today’s episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with beloved Tibetan meditation master and best-selling author Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche for a soul-stirring conversation on inner peace, joy, and transformation, even in the midst of life’s greatest storms.

Born into a lineage of Tibetan masters, Mingyur Rinpoche has spent decades teaching the power of awareness and compassion. But it was during a near-death experience, alone, sick, and penniless on the streets of India, that he had a profound realization: beyond fear, beyond suffering, is a pure, unshakable presence we all carry inside.

Together, we explore the real meaning of enlightenment, how to deal with fear, desire, and difficult emotions, and why your thoughts are not who you are. Rinpoche shares simple yet radical practices to help you access peace in everyday life, from letting go of the past to navigating addiction, conflict, and uncertainty.

This episode is an invitation to return to your true nature. To live from the “inner sky” that remains untouched by life’s turbulence. And to remember that even in the darkest moments, you are never truly lost.

Tune in and learn how to access lasting inner peace, transform emotional patterns, and reconnect with the unshakable awareness within you.

“You don’t sabotage because you’re afraid to fail. You sabotage because you’re afraid of how powerful you truly are.”

Have you ever noticed how things finally start going well — you're in a loving relationship, making more money, feeling happier — and out of nowhere… you pull back? You overthink. You pick a fight. You overspend. You sabotage.

But here's the truth: Self-sabotage is not failure — it’s protection. It’s not that you’re broken. It’s that a part of you is trying to keep you safe, even if that means holding you back from everything you’ve prayed for.

In this soul-stirring episode, we’re going deep into the real reasons why we sabotage the good in our lives — the subconscious fears, the childhood survival strategies, the nervous system that equates success with danger.

It’s time to stop blaming yourself. It’s time to hold yourself with compassion. And most of all — to finally allow yourself to receive what you’ve always deserved.

Tune in and learn how to stop sabotaging what you truly deserve.

         Timestamps

• (00:02:20) – The Pattern of Self-Sabotage Why we often push away love, success, and abundance just as they begin to flow into our lives.
• (00:03:55) – The Hidden Roots of Sabotage Self-sabotage isn’t failure — it’s a subconscious survival strategy. You’re not broken. You’re protecting yourself.
• (00:06:10) – Why You Reject What You Want The subconscious mind doesn’t follow your desires — it follows familiarity and emotional safety.
• (00:07:35) – When Success Feels Unsafe How childhood associations with love, money, or praise shape the way you receive (or reject) good things.
• (00:09:15) – You Can’t Override Your Nervous System with a Vision Board Why affirmations and mindset shifts aren’t enough without nervous system healing.
• (00:10:20) – Compassion is the Key to Transformation Don’t shame the pattern. Name it. Ask yourself: what part of me is trying to protect me right now?
• (00:11:20) – The “Upper Limit” Phenomenon How feeling “too good” can trigger unconscious sabotage — and what to do when that urge hits.
• (00:12:15) – Make Your Body Feel Safe with Goodness Gently teach your nervous system that it’s safe to receive, expand, and feel joy.
• (00:13:15) – Transformation Happens in Small Steps Why small daily actions create deep and lasting change without overwhelming your system.
• (00:14:10) – Rehearsing Receiving Use imagination and emotion to normalize success, love, and abundance in your body.
• (00:15:00) – Track and Celebrate Your Growth Acknowledge each moment you respond differently. This builds self-trust and integration.
• (00:15:55) – You’re Not Afraid of Failure — You’re Afraid of Your Power We sabotage not because we’re weak, but because struggle feels safer than the unknown.
• (00:16:50) – Your Soul Thrives in the Unknown True healing is remembering: you are already love, already worthy, already enough.
• (00:17:50) – Final Reflection and Invitation

Some Questions I Ask:

• Why do I sabotage myself when things start going well?
• Why do I pull away just when I’m finally being loved the way I always wanted?
• Why, when I start earning more money, do I do something that ruins my finances?
• Why do I reject what I say I want?
• If love is present… why do I feel unsafe?
• What makes success or stability feel like a threat?
• What part of me is trying to protect me right now?

In This Episode, You Will Learn

• The connection between your nervous system and your capacity to receive love, success, and abundance.

“When you heal yourself, it is a spiritual experience.”

What if healing isn’t something outside of you, but a remembering of what’s already within?

In today’s episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Donna Eden, world-renowned teacher, energy medicine pioneer, and living example of what’s possible when we trust the body’s wisdom.

In this conversation, we explore what true healing means, from chronic illness to emotional trauma, from heartbreak to soul fatigue. Donna shares simple yet powerful energy techniques you can use right now to awaken vitality, move through pain, and reconnect with your joy.

“Your soul doesn’t run on human time. It runs on sacred time.”

What if the pressure you feel to “hurry up” and have it all figured out… is based on a lie?

In this episode of Soul Talk, I dive into one of the most painful illusions we’ve been taught: the belief that we’re behind in life.

Whether it’s love, purpose, abundance, or healing, many of us are carrying a quiet grief. Grieving the timeline we thought we should be on. The milestones we expected to hit by now. The version of life our ego mapped out, but our soul never signed off on.

We compare ourselves to others. We ask, “Did I miss my moment?” “Am I too late?” But here’s the truth: You are not late. You are right on time.

In this episode, I get real about what it means to trust your soul’s divine timeline, even when things feel delayed, quiet, or unclear. I unpack how societal pressure, ego, and unhealed wounds drive us to rush, to push, to force outcomes. But what if your delay is not denial… but divine preparation?

I share personal stories from my journey and powerful spiritual wisdom to help you stop measuring your worth by deadlines or outcomes, and start aligning with the rhythm of your soul, where peace lives, purpose flows, and real miracles unfold.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious, or unworthy because your life doesn’t “look” like it’s supposed to, this is your reminder: You are becoming. You are preparing. And the timing of your life is sacred

Tune in and learn how to trust your path, reframe your waiting season, and finally release the pressure to be anywhere other than exactly where you are.

• How can I stay grounded during long periods of waiting?

"Asking a man with no arms to hold you, that’s what it’s like to expect love from someone who doesn’t know how."

What if the greatest block to love… isn’t your past, but the story you’ve been told about what love is supposed to be?

In this raw and revelatory episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Arielle Ford—bestselling author and spiritual teacher—for a soul-stirring conversation about what it really means to love and be loved.

Together, we peel back the illusions that keep so many of us stuck in cycles of pain, confusion, or longing. From the myth that love should always feel magical, to the hard truths about emotional safety, forgiveness, and self-worth, Arielle shares relationship wisdom that cuts straight to the soul.

We also explore her re-released romantic spiritual thriller The Love Thief—and how fiction can sometimes reveal truth in ways real life can’t. This episode is a deep invitation to let go of the fantasies, release the old stories, and step into the kind of sacred partnership that’s built on truth, not just chemistry.

If you've ever felt disappointed in love, struggled to let go of betrayal, or wondered if your soulmate will ever arrive… this conversation will crack your heart open in the best possible way.

Tune in and discover the love your soul has been waiting for.

"Just because it feels intense does not mean it's love. Sometimes it’s simply your wounds shaking hands." 

What if the intense connection you keep chasing… isn’t actually love?

In this powerful episode of SoulTalk, I dive deep into the difference between true, soul-aligned love — and trauma bonding disguised as passion. So many of us have been conditioned to equate emotional chaos with chemistry. But real love? It doesn’t spike your anxiety. It soothes it.

I break down how early wounds shape our patterns in relationships, why we confuse familiarity with fate, and how the nervous system plays a hidden role in who we’re drawn to. I’ll also share personal stories, raw truth, and grounded spiritual insights to help you recognize when you’re stuck in a trauma loop — and how to finally break free.

If you’ve ever asked: “Why do I keep attracting the same kind of relationship?” “Why does love feel so exhausting?” …this episode will give you clarity — and a path to healing.

You’ll learn how to rewire your nervous system, reconnect with your inner child, and feel the difference between drama and devotion. This isn’t about blame. It’s about liberation.

Tune in now and discover what real, healthy, soul-nourishing love actually feels like — and how to stop calling chaos your soulmate.
