  • EP 46 | Soul Therapy Wellness Summit #1: Wellness is a We Thing
    SPECIAL EPISODE: Session 1 of the Soul Therapy Wellness Summit

    What happens when Soul Therapy Media brings together four women — each building their own wellness practice, each with their own audience — and decides that community is stronger than competition?

    In this episode, Julian B. Kiganda shares the vision behind the Soul Therapy Wellness Summit and sits down with co-hosts Queirra Fenderson, Dr. Jovan Jackson, and LaKesha Veney to explore what holistic wellness actually looks like when you stop doing it alone.

    A candid conversation on leadership, burnout, nervous system regulation, and what it means to show up for yourself — and for your community.

    For leaders, high achievers, and anyone ready to stop soldiering through alone.

  • EP44 | Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? And Who Picked Them for You?
    Twelve years ago my sister, Christine St. Vil, and I wrote a book called Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? We had no idea how far that question would travel. In this episode I share the story behind the book, the pushback we got from family, the unexpected places it showed up, and the recent phone call that reminded me why the work mattered in the first place. Sometimes the things we create take on a life of their own. And sometimes they circle back years later to remind us what we were really trying to say. This conversation is about purpose, identity, and learning to walk in shoes that actually belong to you.

    If this episode got you thinking about stepping into your own power and walking in the shoes you were meant to wear, head over to www.soultherapyshop.com for tools and reminders to help you stay grounded—journals, planners, affirming tees, and little things that keep you connected to your purpose every day.

  • EP43 | Five Ways You're Sabotaging Your Mental Health (and How to Fix It)
    Why do some people seem calm and confident no matter what—and you feel stuck? In this episode, we break down five common ways you may be sabotaging your mental health without realizing it: not saying no, not asking for help, avoiding boundaries, tolerating disrespect, and not asking for what you’re worth. You’ll learn the science behind growth mindset, nervous system regulation, cortisol, dopamine, and oxytocin—and how small, daily shifts build confidence and resilience. If you’re ready to stop giving your power away and start protecting your peace, this episode will show you where to begin.

  • EP40 | Before You Call It Success, Ask What It Costs
    We’re living in a time where success is often loud and constantly on display—but very few people talk about what it actually takes to sustain it. In this episode, I talk about the cost behind the things we say we want. The pressure. The discipline. The emotional and mental toll that doesn’t show up on highlight reels.

    I share personal experiences that reshaped how I define success, why comparison sneaks in when we’re disconnected from ourselves, and how “doing the work” is less about achievement and more about alignment. This conversation is an invitation to reflect honestly and ask yourself whether what you’re chasing is really what you want—or just what looks good from the outside.

    If this episode got you thinking about what you’re chasing—and why—you can find thoughtful reminders at www.soultherapyshop.com. These aren’t about hustle or hype. They’re small, intentional pieces that help you slow down, stay honest with yourself, and remember what you’re really working toward.And if this conversation connects to the way you show up at work or lead others, visit www.soultherapymedia.com. We help organizations move beyond surface-level success and create environments where people can sustain performance without burning out. If you want to talk, reach me at [email protected].

    Right now, so many of us are standing between what we’ve known and what’s next—and it doesn’t always feel comfortable. Maybe your career or goals no longer make sense. Maybe nothing is wrong on paper, yet something inside whispers, there’s more. In this episode, I share how I navigated my own reinvention, building Soul Therapy Media from my creativity and mental health journey.

  • EP38 | Feelings Aren’t Facts: When Your Emotions Lie to You
    I used to believe my feelings were facts until I realized how much power they had over my words, my decisions, and even my energy. In this episode, I explore the difference between I feel and I am, why naming emotions matters, and how our words carry a frequency that shapes both our biology and our reality. I share insights on the science of the brain-body connection and practical ways to notice your emotions without letting them hijack your choices or your day. This episode is about learning to respond instead of reacting.

  • EP37 | How to Trust the Decisions That Don’t Make Sense—Until They Do
    Aligned action isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about knowing when to move even while uncertainty is still present. In this episode, I reflect on a decision that changed the trajectory of my life and business and what it taught me about trusting inner guidance over fear, urgency, or external pressure. I share how alignment feels in the body, how intuition and discernment actually work together, and why some opportunities only reveal themselves after you take the first step. This conversation is for anyone standing at a crossroads, feeling like there’s more, and wondering whether to trust what’s pulling them forward.
