The SONGA Show

This episode is a journey into the heart of modern leadership with David Sherry—a guide for those building from authenticity and inner truth. Together, we explore how work can become a living expression of our wholeness and purpose.

David offers a heartfelt perspective on leadership that honors the full spectrum of our humanity—where vulnerability meets structure, and growth begins with slowing down and truly being present.

Episode Summary:

In this rich and reflective conversation, we explore the art of wholeness at work, how to integrate who we are with what we create. Together, we dive into themes of authenticity, emotional awareness, and conscious leadership as essential elements of the “new business paradigm.”

We explore:

• The collective awakening that shifted how we show up in business after the pandemic
• Why authenticity and emotional truth are becoming essential leadership qualities
• Learning your natural creative and energetic rhythms—and how to communicate them without shame
• How unprocessed emotions and “business wounds” shape decisions and relationships at work
• The importance of pausing, taking space, and asking for what you need
• Why joy, curiosity, and emotional texture create healthier, more creative teams
• How business can serve as a vehicle for healing, not just achievement
• The power of seeing your company as a platform for human growth—yours and everyone else’s
  
  

This episode is an invitation to release the old paradigm of performance, pressure, and perfection—and to embrace a more integrated way of leading and creating.
 David reminds us that the future of work is deeply personal. It’s built on truth, trust, and the courage to be seen.

* Coaching and live sessions exploring leadership, creativity, and emotional  integration

Awakening The Heart Of Infinity: Letting Love Expand You

In this episode, Kristi explores what it means to awaken the heart of infinity; the remembrance that the human heart is not finite, but an ever-expanding field of love, devotion, and awareness.

This is a transmission on love as a practice, a journey of continually meeting our edges and finding where we expand, where we contract, where we protect, and where we soften. She shares personal reflections on vulnerability, receiving love, dissolving old constructs around deserving love, and expanding beyond her upper limits to let even more good inside.

In this episode Kristi shares:

• The heart of humanity as infinite, ever-unfolding, and alive
• How protection can show up as judgment, skepticism, or emotional withdrawal
• Meeting the upper limits of joy, goodness, and being loved without contraction
• The difference between conditional love and unconditional presence
• Expanding beyond romantic and societal limitations
• Allowing community, friendship, and polarity to awaken new paradigms of love
• Embodying gratitude and love beyond the mind and into the cells of the body
• Love as a force of inspiration that calls forward our highest expression

Kristi opens up about the biggest intuitive leap of her life—letting go of her home and everything familiar in order to listen to "the call of her soul." She began to question her decision when the fears came up and she had to confront her fears and learn the difference between divine guidance and self-sabotage. This episode is a powerful reflection on trusting your inner voice, even when the path makes no sense to the mind.

In this episode, Kristi explores:

 • Intuition vs. Self-Sabotage — How to recognize the difference between a true soul pull and the fear-based impulse to run, avoid, or unravel what you’ve built.
• Identity and Letting Go — Why releasing your home or external structures can trigger deep questions about worth, success, and who you are without what you’ve created.
• The Soul’s Nonlinear Path — Understanding why intuitive guidance rarely follows logic, timelines, or straight lines—and how leaps of faith accelerate manifestation.
• Moving Through Fear Into Desire — What happens when we stop gripping, stop protecting, and allow our energy to flow back into the river of our deepest desires.
• The Power of Asking the Universe — Why support, synchronicities, and aligned opportunities arrive when your field is clear and your heart is willing to participate.

You’ll hear Kristi talk about:
– dismantling old identities tied to home, success, and structure
– the emotional process of leaving behind a healing sanctuary she lovingly built
– the fear of being forgotten, losing momentum, or unraveling progress
– unexpected support, aligned clients, and new opportunities emerging after the leap
– calibrating intuition and navigating the unknown with reverence

This episode is for you if:
You’re in transition, feeling a big internal pull, questioning your next step, or wanting to deepen your connection to your intuition and inner guidance.

Welcome to this soul-expanding conversation with Alex Buta—visionary creator, transformational guide, and New Earth architect. What began as a spontaneous dialogue evolved into one of the most profound and intimate episodes we’ve recorded.

In this episode, Alex shares his five-phase framework for conscious creation—moving from the unknown, to desire, to inspired action, and finally to integration and surrender. We explore creativity as a sacred dance between the masculine and feminine, between structure and flow, doing and being. If you’ve ever felt pulled to create something meaningful from your soul—but struggled with doubt, burnout, or pressure—this conversation will meet you deeply. Let’s dive in.

Episode Summary:

In this poetic and powerful conversation, Alex Buta guides us through the sacred process of conscious creation using a five-phase cycle:

1. Explore and Observe
2. Desire and Dream
3. Create and Play
4. Integrate and Detach
5. Repeat

We discuss how desire is not egoic, but a divine compass toward purpose—and how many of us must reclaim our right to dream after a lifetime of conditioning. Alex speaks openly about his own experiences: the vulnerability of writing a book, launching a new community, embracing the inner child, and learning to sustain creativity without losing himself.

Together, we reflect on:

• The sacredness of desire and why it's a misunderstood spiritual force
• Why most people give up in the action phase and how to stay aligned through doubt
• How inner child healing reawakens joy, playfulness, and pleasure
• The importance of integrating your growth before starting the next thing
• How to detach from your creations without losing your identity in them
• Why celebration is spiritual and how joy fuels future creation

Alex’s embodied wisdom reminds us that creation is a lifelong cycle, and that the way we move through it—gently, courageously, and with integrity—matters more than the outcome.

Alex’s Current Creations:

• ✨ New Earth flagship program & conscious retreat space at Awake Uvita
• 📖 Upcoming book on spiritual transformation and personal freedom
• 🎵 DJ sets and ecstatic dance events
• 🌀 Creator community: A space for visionaries to birth and embody their creations

Podcast Summary:

In this soul-stirring episode of The SONGA Show, Kristi sits down with visionary Matt Richards, the founder of Tierramor—a regenerative community in Costa Rica devoted to harmonizing with nature, self, and society. What unfolds is a deeply personal journey through Matt's initiatory experiences: from burnout in Silicon Valley to silent retreats, from failed dreams to powerful re-alignments.

Matt vulnerably shares the pivotal moments that shattered his worldview and the inner transformations that followed—from permaculture in Portugal and intentional communities in India to post-scarcity systems and spiritually grounded leadership. Together, they explore how real change starts with inner initiation and how building the new world requires letting go of who we’ve been to become who we’re here to be.

Whether you're walking through your own initiation, envisioning a regenerative future, or simply seeking permission to slow down and listen to your inner compass—this conversation will meet you there.

🎙️ Podcast Episode Title: Trust Your Timing

Host: Kristi Worful
Guest: Gina Worful, Founder of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute

💫 Episode Summary

In this heartfelt and deeply vulnerable episode, sisters Kristi and Gina Worful invite listeners into an intimate conversation about the pressures of decision-making, the discomfort of uncertainty, and the radical permission to simply be in the space of “I don’t know.”

Gina shares a powerful personal story of navigating a pivotal relationship decision in her mid-30s—an experience that taught her the sacredness of slowing down, tuning into the wisdom of the heart, and trusting divine timing. Together, Kristi and Gina reflect on the cultural conditioning around urgency, logic, and “having it all figured out,” and offer a new paradigm rooted in presence, stillness, and self-trust.

They explore themes like conscious uncoupling, seasonal cycles of transformation, intuitive business building, and the role of emotion and embodiment in finding clarity. The episode closes with a moving poem about pausing in life’s uncertainties, leaving listeners with a profound sense of peace and possibility.

🪷 Key Takeaways

• “I don’t know” is a sacred space of contemplation—not a failure to act, but a threshold of deeper truth.
• Unconditional love holds space without pushing for clarity or resolution.
• The heart speaks in simplicity—presence helps you discern between mind and heart.
• Slowing down is not losing momentum; it’s gathering wisdom for the next step.
• Desire is a magnet—you don’t have to force the unfolding of your dream life.
• Business strategy works best when infused with soul and emotion.
