Soul Sayers

"You know, you are not responsible for enlightening everyone. In fact my love, many people don’t want to be enlightened because that would require them to change. They see change as admitting they are wrong about things - and many people never want to be wrong either." We are living in a time when our sensitivities are heightened....as they should be. And now is the perfect time to start doing what has been the Soul Sayers mantra since the beginning. Drag all the crap out from the darkness and into the light. Expose bad thinking, fear, insecurity, bias, prejudice, anything that minimizes your greatness. Dims the light you were meant to shine. But not everyone wants to be well. And some will use their resistance to becoming whole as a reason to make you feel that your heart isn't in the right place or you have faulty thinking. So it's time to wake up and get your antennae working. Some folks are pretty sophisticated with their gaslight maneuvers. I think we can be ready for them. Through my spiritual wellness

And can I just say that not knowing how to let things go and let them be is THE greatest hindrance to your peace and your growth! Yeah, you are ready to be free.

Episode Highlights We need answers and just want to feel better about what's happening right now. How long will this last? When will I get to go on vacation? Am I still going to have my job? Mostly, people seem to want quick lists, sets of instructions to follow like 5 ways to handle COVID-19 Quarantine or, 10 ways to ease stress.  But the answers, the ones that will truly make you feel better, are found in the spiritual world. Not this crazy one we're in right now. Being connected to your higher self and God can bring relief and insight. So we talk about some good news and some bad news. What you can do about it, and I'll give you a few things to get you started on your journey. Quotes: "See we like to be told what to do - give me the formula and I can quickly implement and execute. But this isn’t like that ya’ll. For sure, I can make up dozens of 5 step plans but honestly, the answers we need aren’t in some a-z handbook." "This situation right here - doesn’t have any pat answers. Not one. Will you get surfa

Episode Highlights: Quitting is often connected to weakness, being soft or lazy, throwing in the towel. If you’ve accepted any or all of those beliefs then quitting is the last thing you want to do. You will ride that thing until the wheels fall off! There is a difference between quitting and stopping! See it as giving up vs. taking a stand. Quotes: "When was the last time that you just allowed yourself to be who you are? Without apology, without explanation, but with power...right smack in the middle of your Divine purpose?" "Once I had this awakening and began challenging all old beliefs I had around quitting things; I discovered there were many other limiting beliefs I had as well." "Have you ever gotten clarity on something and then you try to explain it to other people and they just don't get it?" "The natural tendency is to go back to the way you were, so other folks can be comfortable again." "Once the mind is enlightened, it cannot go dark." "There are times in your life where it is essential that you

We are certainly living in unusual times. In this episode, I reflect back to the beginning of the year when I was feeling a strong push to talk about 2020 being a pivotal year of change. And that overcoming fear was our mandate. Episode Highlights: Systems within society are being dismantled before us. Some will not be rebuilt. We are witnesses to an unfolding of history, happening before our very eyes. But what you do have, and what you still have power over - is yourself. There is a spiritual download  - a reprogramming if you will, a re-branding of your life and being - ready and waiting for you. "The feeling I had was that this year would be one of transformation, breakthroughs, open doors and direction." "This has, however, proven so far to be a year full of uncertainty, great loss of tangible and physical things, and of people. Much of our supposed control has faded away and one of the few resources we can still manage is our time." "That’s life on a spiritual journey - what you miss you are destined
