“Every day is election day. Every moment, we are choosing who we are through our actions and intentions.”

 In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I invite you to explore what it truly means to reclaim your power during times of political change and collective uncertainty. With the election results freshly in, emotions are running high—some are overjoyed, others are disappointed, and many are left wondering, “What happens next?” But here’s the truth: our freedom, happiness, and sense of purpose are far too precious to let anyone else define them. 

Regardless of who’s in office, it’s time to rise above division, embrace love and unity, and fully step into our roles as co-creators of a brighter, more conscious world.

Every day, we’re casting votes not just at the ballot box, but in the energy we bring, the choices we make, and the lives we live. I’ll reveal how you can harness this moment as a wake-up call, a chance to live with greater purpose, compassion, and conviction. 

Tune in to discover how to become a powerful force for positive change, no matter what’s happening around you. It’s time to remember who you are and to step up as the leader your life and the world need right now.

 “Addiction is often seen as a mere psychological ailment, but I believe that it is a spiritual journey".

In this week’s Soul Talk episode, I dive deep into understanding the spiritual roots of addiction, exploring how these struggles go far beyond simple habits or willpower. I uncover how addictions—whether to substances, approval, or even achievements—often have roots in deep-seated pain, unmet emotional needs, and unresolved trauma. Instead of viewing addiction solely as a negative force, I challenge us to see it as a misguided attempt at wholeness, an unconscious way to self-soothe and cope when other tools are missing. 

This shift in perspective allows us to approach our addictions and struggles with compassion rather than judgment. I discuss how awareness is our first step: by recognizing our triggers, we create space to pause and make new, healthier choices instead of simply reacting. Breaking free from these patterns doesn’t happen overnight, but it starts by understanding the “why” behind the habit.

 Listen to this episode and learn some key insights into the journey of healing and self-empowerment.

Some Questions I Ask:

• What are the underlying psychological factors that contribute to addiction?
• How can individuals identify their triggers and patterns of behavior related to addiction?
• What are some effective strategies for overcoming addictive behaviors?

"The ego wants enlightenment to be something special...but the truth is, we are all already that. We are all already awakened. We are all already divine”

In this episode of SoulTalk, I dive deep into the true essence of spirituality. Real spiritual growth isn’t about rituals, exotic retreats, or escaping the world. It’s about embodying love, kindness, and presence in every area of your life. So often, we get caught up in the idea that being spiritual means wearing the right beads, meditating in special places, or doing the perfect yoga pose. But the truth is, everything we do—from parenting to work, to navigating life’s challenges—is part of our spiritual journey.

I’m here to challenge some common misconceptions about spirituality and enlightenment. You’ll learn how to see life’s challenges as sacred opportunities for growth, how to move beyond ego-based desires, and how to approach even the most mundane moments with a sense of reverence and love. When you bring your full awareness and heart to every day, it turns each moment into a sacred ceremony of awakening.

So, if you’re ready to ground your spiritual practice in your daily life, embrace your humanity, and live with more love and compassion, this episode is for you.

"All meaning is in your mind. If meaning is in your mind, do events have inherent meaning? No.”

Shelly co-founded The Lefkoe Institute and is a renowned expert in personal development, shares her profound insights on how deeply ingrained beliefs shape our lives. With over 30 years of experience, Shelly has guided thousands in breaking free from limiting beliefs that hold them back. 

She explains how these beliefs, often formed during childhood, unconsciously influence our choices, relationships, and sense of self-worth. Shelly reveals the difference between grieving and suffering, the importance of challenging our internal narratives, and how to build empowering beliefs. 

Through personal stories and practical advice, she offers strategies to overcome trauma, self-sabotage, and fear. Shelly also emphasizes the need to stop seeking external validation and identify subconscious blocks to happiness. 

Her approach is not just about overcoming adversity but about transforming your mindset to create lasting joy and fulfillment. Tune in to learn how to unlock your true potential by reshaping the meaning you attach to life’s events to achieve happiness and abundance.
