In this powerful episode of Soul Sparks, host Saima sits down with bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and consultant Marcy Axelrod to explore what it truly means to show up in life. Marcy breaks down the three levels of showing up—barely there, just showing up, and truly showing up—and explains how our roles as individuals, situation members, and community contributors shape our ability to engage authentically. This conversation challenges listeners to reflect on how societal conditioning pulls us away from deeper presence, connection, and care, offering a new lens on living fully and meaningfully.

Key Takeaways:

Showing up happens on three levels: barely there, just showing up, and truly showing up.

We each play three roles: self, situation member, and contributor to the larger whole.

Authentic engagement is not about doing more, but being more present and aligned with nature’s design.

Society often pulls us away from depth; reclaiming presence is an act of care and contribution.

Our impact extends beyond us, influencing people we may never meet.
