| 036: You Are Enough - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 18 Mar 2020 | 00:06:12 | |
You are enough. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise! When you go out there, be your authentic self and do so with confidence. Make no apology for your differences, instead celebrate them as your unique qualities. There is always an opportunity to be your best self, an opportunity to let down the veil and step into that authentic version of who you really are! As you grow and evolve you need to constantly check in with yourself, so you can remain aligned with your heart’s desire, with your inner wisdom, your best self. You are enough. What does authenticity really mean here? I am referring to honouring yourself, what truly matters to you and being bold enough to express it. As such being authentic is not a one-way street. Think of it as a revolving door between your inner and outer worlds. A dance between the deepest parts of you and the way you express that boldly into the world. As such this is not a static approach, instead that dance continues throughout your life as you grow and evolve. Ask yourself, what truly matters to me right now? Reflect on who you really are! Explore the deepest parts of you and be open, honest and willing to step into that authentic space where you are enough. This does not mean that you must not strive for excellence in all that you do, nor that you must not work on bettering you and your place in this world. What it does mean it that just as you are, you are enough. The seed in the earth is enough and has everything within it to become the mighty oak, but it requires nurturing, the best environment to grow and light to make its appearance. You are that seed that has everything within you. How will you nurture yourself, create the best environment for your growth and generate your light, so that you can stand tall, strong and beautiful like the oak tree? So many of us have our guards up right? Life has dealt us some big challenges and so we find ourselves hiding from the world in fear of being seen, judged or disliked. Don’t we all want to feel accepted for who we are deep down? What would it take for you to step into that authentic version of you? What if being you, just as you are, is enough? What if by being you more, you inspire others to do the same. I honestly believe that the more we are able to be our best selves in the world the better the world will be! So own it! You are beautiful, you are loved, you are special, you celebrate your uniqueness. You are worthy, you are incredible, you are resilient, you are wanted, appreciated and truly valued. You are enough. Say it with me, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough... | |||
| 035: How To Be Bulletproof Against Rejection - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 11 Mar 2020 | 00:07:22 | |
Hey beautiful souls. I’m really excited to jump into this topic! Before I do let me warn you, this is going to be blunt and direct and is not for everyone. The title is how to be bulletproof against rejection not how to overcome it. In order to be bulletproof, it requires a thick skin and some pretty heavy armour. So this is my approach today. Everyone at some point or another in their life experiences rejection, whether that’s in a relationship, work related, family related or any situation where you put yourself out there and get a no. And yes, when we get rejected it sucks, we feel hurt, it’s hard to go through it, and it’s important to grieve that. However, if you could view rejection in a different way, it would be much easier to put yourself out there in many different situations without worrying about being rejected. It doesn’t mean you won’t be rejected it just means your feelings towards that will no longer affect you and this is where being bullet-proof comes in. Growing up in my family we had a saying passed down from our parents, and that was, if it’s for you it’s for you, and no one can take it, if it’s not for you thank God and move on. What I love about this saying is that it implies that anything that you do will work out the way it supposed to, when it supposed to and how it supposed to, for your highest good. It doesn’t mean you that you will always like the outcome, and it requires a sense of trust and faith, that this outcome is what is needed right now. What if you tried on this way of thinking? How would it affect the way you then approached anything that you could potentially be rejected from? I walked into audition rooms with a sense of peace knowing that if the gig was for me, I’d get it. Interestingly, it was often why I think I got the part. I think it’s because there was a sense of personal power and peace that came across. That being said, it was also because I did the work, I did the prep, let’s not pretend that I just showed up and luckily got a part. I put the work in, honoured the struggle, but also I wasn’t so attached to the outcome that if it didn’t happen, it would negatively impact my life by deciding to stop pursuing my dream. The other piece of being bullet-proof is recognising that not everything is about you. If someone rejects you for a job, a part in a play, a relationship, it’s not all about you unless you make it so. It does not reflect your worth unless you let it. Often what happens is, when we’re rejected, we sometimes close ourselves off or try not to put ourselves in situations again where a NO is a possibility and as such we live in fear of this rejection. Let me ask you, are you willing to give that power to someone else? Are you willing to say no to the possibility of greatness because someone in the past told you NO? Which is worse, the possibility of another rejection or living your life in fear and later having regrets for not putting yourself out there. Seriously answer that. Which is worse? I can tell you that I wouldn’t be here talking to you right now if I let the Nos in my life stop me. I got plenty, but what it did for me was give me an opportunity to be constructive and focus on what I could learn from the experience and this is what I would encourage you to do. It gave me fuel to do better and learn more so that eventually some of those Nos became yeses.

| 033: How To Define Your Own Meaning of Success - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 26 Feb 2020 | 00:08:45 | |
Very often when we speak of success, we do one of two things, follow the status quo of what success means these days, or we put the word success in inverted commas because we know that not everyone’s version of success is not the same. Working with so many clients over the years I’ve heard versions of success like owning my own home, making six figures, to living off the grid and travelling, to being able to wake up without pain or feeling like a good dad to my kids. So, as you can see from these examples, everyone is looking at success through their own lens whether that’s material gain or personal growth. So how does one define their own meaning of success? How do you know what success actually means to you? It all starts with defining what is meaningful to you. For those of you who’ve known me for a while, you know that I am all about the inside out approach, meaning what’s going on within you so that you can reflect that outwardly. So, by defining what’s meaningful to you, you’ll be able to feel much more aligned with the successes you wish to create in your life. To do this, you must get as detailed and specific as possible around the things that matter to you. For example, when I ask someone what success to them is, they might say ‘to feel fulfilled in life or to feel like they’re making a difference.’ What precisely does this mean? You want to break that down specifically, what is being successful in life mean to you? What does making a difference mean to you? How will you know when you’re making a difference? Is it when you are creating a service in your business that’s helping others? Is being fulfilled in life when you get your master’s degree or some other qualification? Is it when you start your own family? When you get that number one hit? We need to break these things down, otherwise they feel like wishy-washy dreams that don’t really give us a bull’s-eye target. And we want a bull’s eye target, so that we can make practical decisions in our day-to-day lives to create our version of success. | |||
| 032: Today Is Your Day - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 19 Feb 2020 | 00:06:50 | |
There is no time like the present. In fact, now is all you really have. In every moment you have an opportunity to do something great, to do something kind, to be a shining example to others. When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself: How do I want to show up in the world today? That answer will influence the way your day unfolds, the way you show up to your family, friends, colleagues and everyone around you. Then take action on this intention – words and thoughts are not enough. Take action on being kind, on being focused, determined, healthy. Take action on being a better parent, friend, brother, sister, a better partner. When you become intentional in your life you don’t just accept life, you design life. You are in charge of your destiny and that starts here and now. Right now, you have an opportunity to make today a day you’ll never forget. This moment is a new beginning, a fresh start and a chance to start over and wipe the slate clean. Just focus on today, not what happened yesterday, not what you think tomorrow will bring. Focus on the here and now and that will impact the rest. Notice how moment to moment things in your life change when you begin to show up in the way that best serves you. Imagine how choosing to be focused will show up in your work and projects. Or how showing up as being kind will impact how you treat someone you know or someone you meet for the first time. How about showing up today with gratitude, with compassion, with drive? How will each of these impact today? I know that life’s difficulties and stresses don’t make it easy to always show up positively. However, through these difficulties, there is always an opportunity to grow and to change – and this is when you must choose to be and do better for yourself and others. It all happens in this moment, today, all you have is now. Decide today that you will no longer allow other people to determine how happy you will be. Decide today not to settle for anything less than you deserve, which is love and joy! Decide today not to settle for the average and to be extraordinary at whatever it is you do. What if you decided to show up today, committed to doing one random act of kindness? Or to be more loving, more fun? It only takes one moment, one decision, one action to change today for the better. Just ONE! Before you know it, your days become weeks, weeks become months and moths become years filled with joy, bliss, adventure. A lifetime filled with love, kindness and compassion. Start each day with this question and make it part of your morning ritual, “how do I want to show up in the world today?” or “how can I be the best version of myself today?” Then take action! Do something that will positively impact your day. Remember, it only takes one moment, one decision, one action to change today for the better. Today is your day, this is your time, this is your moment, what are you going to do with it? | |||
| 031 - 5 Steps To Overcome Failure - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 12 Feb 2020 | 00:09:08 | |
This is quite an important topic and it’s one that I cover and talk about a lot, because in my time as a teacher working with students and working with clients, it is one of the biggest things that come up. Anyone who knows me, will have heard me say at least once, that failure is feedback; mistakes are feedback. So what I want to do is cover what I think are the five steps, at least five key steps that you can take to help you overcome failure and the first one is your mindset. How you view mistakes is really important. The biggest difference between those who succeed and those who fail is how they deal with it. In fact, most successful people fail more often because they know that failure is just part of the process on route to success. I think about failure and success as two sides of the same coin; you can’t have one without the other. So when you fail at something, remember that it’s just part of the journey towards succeeding and when you succeed, remember it’s part of the journey towards another failure, towards another success and so forth. How we overcome failure is by understanding that all it is, is just feedback. When we go into any venture, project or anything that we’re doing, we must understand that there will always be ups and downs. There will always be duality in our experience and so our mindset around it is to recognize it as part of the process rather than seeing it as a downfall. It’s really just all feedback. So how you think about failure is a really key and important factor, so look at how you think about it and try on my view. It is just feedback on what’s not working what might need to change and how you can do differently next time. The second step would be to let go of any self-judgment. The truth is, you will fail not all the time, but some of the time and when you do it doesn’t define your character or who you are as a person, unless you let it! When you fail in fact, it implies that you’re taking action, that you’re possibly trying something new and these are in fact great character-building exercises. It is like one of those quotes that I love by Wayne Gretzky - “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. So it is better that you take those shots and miss and miss again, until you’re finally able to understand the best way, the best angle, the best height; you get the point. So, let go of self-judgment. If you failed at something, it doesn’t mean that you are not capable, it just means that you didn’t do it in the way that would allow you to succeed. And when you let go of that self-judgment and labelling like ‘I’m a failure or I always make mistakes’ which by the way isn’t true unless you choose to believe them, then it frees you up to move past it. I encourage you to let go of the self-judgment that can come up around making mistakes or failing at something. There’s always an opportunity to make a better choice, remember that. | |||

| 029: How To Respond Better to Interactions That Trigger You - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 29 Jan 2020 | 00:07:39 | |
We all go through moments of feeling down, hurt, frustrated and just tired. Such is the nature of life – its ups and downs – darkness and light. Yet even in those moments we have a choice in how we respond and react, firstly to ourselves and then to others. I’m not saying this is easy, just that you have a choice and it starts with self-awareness. It starts with knowing that in any given moment you have an opportunity to choose to feel better, be better and do better. And from this space of being self-aware you can be compassionate with yourself and others, so that you can make better choices. In every given moment we are at a crossroad, in the sense that we can decide to behave this way or that or say this or that. Our response is normally a reflex based on our unconscious patterns and habits. How can you be more conscious of your responses and reactions on a daily basis? Pause, ask & listen, and then respond. We’re all at different stages in this triad. Some people naturally pause, perhaps to compose themselves; some just lash out immediately and some of us fluctuate between the two. You know which way you tend to go with this. Some people don’t ask themselves questions until after in reflection and then some do in the moment and then ignore the response! This approach is flawed! This triad works when you move through each corner efficiently, so let’s look at each piece. | |||
| 028: You Can Change The World - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 22 Jan 2020 | 00:06:02 | |
The world is going through so much change right now and it’s hard to witness what we are doing to mother earth and by extension her inhabitants. You can see all the negativity splashed all across the media and sometimes it’s easy to feel defeated, deflated and on the verge of giving up. But we’re not defeated because we have created the space we now find ourselves in, and so it is us who is responsible for creating the positive changes needed in the world today. It takes one individual to affect another and so when we come together as families, communities, cities, countries with a want, a need and a proactive approach towards creating a better world we can make miracles happen. It all starts with you! your want, with your need and you taking action on the things that matter to you. You can’t be and activist for everything, but you can for at least ONE thing – one thing that truly matters to you. You can’t directly change everybody’s lives, but you can help positively change the life of one person. If we all made a positive impact on one person at a time – that multiplied WILL change the world. What can you contribute to? What can you change? Don’t listen to that voice inside that says ‘it doesn’t matter what you do, because nothing will change’. That voice is wrong, because it does matter so instead say to yourself that, ‘I am the change I want to see in the world. One act of kindness can change a person’s life. I matter, so what I do matters.’ If we all stood up for change, no matter how small the step you think you can take right now, we would see a rippling out of positive transformation in the world. Thinking about things and making plans are just the first steps, but so often it stops there, but If you don’t do it, it will not be done. You are a conduit for the universe, an instrument for change, a catalyst. How will you serve the world? How will you use your gifts and talents to create the shifts you want to see? The effect you have on others in the most valuable currency there is. To change the world you have two choices, love or fear. Choose love and don’t ever let fear turn you away from your playful heart. Love yourself first and express that through everything that you do. You are able and ready to do great things in this world. Expand, grow, serve, improve the quality of your life and others around you. Decide to make a difference. Make a positive impact in someone else’s life. Create healing in the world through your thoughts and your actions and start with one step. What one change can you make today to uplift you so you can uplift those around you? What one action could you take this week to help someone else? The world needs your love, your attention, your respect and you have a choice in how you express that. It’s never too late to change, it’s never too late to rise and it’s never too late to make a positive impact. You can change the world and it all starts now, in this moment. What are you going to do to make a difference? | |||
| 027: How To Be More YOU This Year - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 15 Jan 2020 | 00:06:20 | |
When I was growing up and we were starting a new year, my mum would always say ‘Happy New You’ instead of new year. After a while that became a private eye rolling event between my siblings and I. It was only in growing up and reflecting that I understood the power of the message she was giving us. That there is always an opportunity to be your best self, an opportunity to let down the veil and step into that authentic version of who you really are! It also implied that sometimes through our natural growth and evolution as human beings that we need to check in with ourselves so we can let go of the old, outdated stuff – old patterns and ways of thinking, doing and being. So, with that in mind, I want to share with you a few things you can think about and do in order to step into your authentic expression and be more of You this year. What does authenticity really mean here? I am referring to honouring yourself, what truly matters to you and being bold enough to express it. As such being authentic is not a one-way street. I like to think of it as a revolving door between your inner and outer worlds. A dance between the deepest parts of you and the way you express that boldly into the world. As such this is not a static approach, instead that dance continues throughout your life as you grow and evolve. So being more You requires a few things. Firstly, you need to reflect on who you really are! Ask yourself, what truly matters to me right now? By exploring your values, you can get some clues into who you are beneath the internal conditioning and external expectations. Your values are the significant truths within you that make you YOU. What truly matters to me is love, service, authentic connection and growth (to name a few of my values) and when I am connected to these, I am much more capable of expressing them through my interactions, my business, relationships and all parts of my life. They are the filter I use to express my inner world into my outer world. So how about you? What truly matters to you? Take some time to explore this because it can literally change your life. The second piece is that once you know what matters to you, how do you be bold enough to express it! So many of us have our guards up right? Life has dealt us some big challenges and so we find ourselves hiding from the world in fear of being seen, judged or disliked. I get it! But here’s the thing, don’t you love being around people who are so comfortable in their skin? Don’t we all want to feel accepted for who we are deep down? Yes! What would it take for you to step into that authentic expression? What if being you, just as you are, is enough? What if by being you more, you inspire others to do the same. I honestly believe that the more we are able to be our best selves in the world the better the world will be! Now I know that what I’m suggesting here is not easy, but let me ask you, how much is it costing you? How long are you willing to go on feeling out of alignment with your higher self? Most things in life that are worth this much, requires us to do the work! Tune in to find out the 6 Steps I offer to help you step into your authentic self more! | |||

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation — this conversation will expand your understanding and empower you. Anxiety is not who you are. It’s something you experience — and it can change. ✨ Listen deeply. Your body might be whispering something important. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro

| 025: Choose No Stress - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 30 Dec 2019 | 00:06:24 | |
How often do you feel stressed and what stresses you out? Often, we say we’re stressed because of a sense of upheaval or overwhelm in our day or lives. Let me ask you, ‘Do you know what specifically triggers you to feel this way?’ I would like to venture a guess; that it is related to how you view the small and big challenges in your life, simply put, your thoughts about them. The thing is, not all our thoughts are true. Sometimes they’re just stories we make up and tell ourselves to make sense of a situation. But what if you could change your thoughts, tell yourself a different and better story to then impact how the events in your life affect you? Why is it that the exact situation could affect two people very differently, where one thinks ‘this struggle will end me’ and the other, ‘this struggle will strengthen me’? How you view life’s stresses can only be determined by you, just know you have a choice in the matter. So my story… On waking one morning, I DECIDED, today is going to be a good day. Okay so honestly that could have gone either way as I only had about five hours of sleep and my first thought was, I wish I could stay in bed. Then I noticed the sun streaming through the curtains and thought about how wonderful it is to have a sunny day. That was it; today is going to be a good day. If only everyone else decided the same! On my way out this morning, I had a whistle blown pretty close to my ear by a train station guard which for a few minutes almost threw my decision (of having a good day) especially since my ears were ringing. This was swiftly followed by almost being knocked over by someone rushing for a train, “no apology necessary sir!” Okay so at that moment I could have forgotten about the beautiful sunrise and decided to be miserable and stressed instead, after all these two people were out to get me and it wasn’t even 8am! How was I supposed to survive the rest of the day sticking to my decision of no stress! This may sound simplified, but I just let go of the thoughts that suggested I be stressed instead. I thought about how I could reframe the incidents that happened in a better way. I reminded myself that after going to a good dance that my ears would sometimes ring because of the volume of the music (I know better now and have great pair of earplugs), but never got upset with the DJ. I also told myself that this guy rushing for the train was on his way to something important and he was a nice guy. While these examples of triggers of stress are pretty small in comparison to other challenges we experience in life, I’d like to think the principle is still the same. That we have some say in how we let triggers affect us and how our behaviour and actions follow suit. My mother used to say “when you walk under a tree and a bird does its business on you, the bird didn’t say, oh there’s that person I want to do my stuff on, no, it just did its thing, and you happen to walk under it.” So, you can either brush it off and get cleaned up or be upset with the bird all day long. So, there are a few things I did there. I set an intention of having no stress that day. Then I was mindful or present in the moment of potential stressful triggers and finally I changed my thoughts or story about them. Here’s how you can implement this practice. · Set an intention for your day. · Be mindful and present when triggers arise. · Reframe your thoughts to something positive instead. This, like all things you want to master takes practice, so take it one day at a time.

| 024: Live Your Dream - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 18 Dec 2019 | 00:05:56 | |
We all have dreams and desires in life - whether related to our work, family, health or other aspects of life. To bring these dreams and desires to life you need to acknowledge them, appreciate them and take action on making them a reality. Just because your dream hasn’t happened yet it, doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen. We all go through ups and downs, disappointments and all have challenges, because pain is a part of life. Sometimes the things we experience just don’t make sense and we fall into despair or sadness and think, why me? There will always be forces trying to convince us to settle where we are, and it is easy to settle for mediocrity even though we have so much potential. Pain is not there to stop you, it’s there to prepare you for all that is yours for the taking. Challenges create an opportunity to grow, to learn, to gain confidence, to rise and to conquer so that you can make the changes you want in your life. So that you can vibrantly express your dream into the world. It is not too late to become all that you were created to be. Sometimes our dreams get covered up by fear, rejection, past failures, hopelessness or by playing small. But deep inside you there is also joy, hope, desire, will and limitless possibility. So, what are you going to uncover? What are you going to tap into? Is it the fear and hopelessness? Or is it the joy and potential that is yearning to be explored? You are not alone on this journey, but only you alone can choose to ignite your dream, to nourish it and to live it! Only you can uncover it by peeling away the layers that have overtime created a cocoon. Well - now it’s time to fly! Time to spread your wings in all their glory and move forward. Take a step towards your dreams. All the resistance that is coming up for you just tells you, that your dream is still alive; that there is work to be done. There is always tension before there is release. Use the tension don’t resist it. The more tension there is right now, the bigger your release will be. See your challenges as temporary, and as lessons, so that as you spread your wings and grow, you are stronger, more resilient and more determined. Your dream is yours. You have a choice to stay asleep or to right now wake up and live your dream! Shake off the fear, shake off the doubt, shake off the negativity and breathe in an unshakable knowing that this your time, your dream and you can make it a reality. You deserve abundance, love, joy, friendship, fulfilment. Whatever it is that you dream for yourself, it is yours. Take these steps: acknowledge your dream (make no apology for having it), appreciate your dream (be filled with gratitude now for what you want in the future) and take action on making it a reality. Step into your strength, your willingness, your determination and align them with bold action. Open yourself to greatness, to success, to going beyond expectations and in all this remain flexible. Your dream is calling your name! Answer… Go out there and live you dream! | |||
| 023 - 9 Actions Towards Doing What You Love - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 11 Dec 2019 | 00:08:32 | |
This month’s question comes from James. I'm so tired of being unfulfilled in my current job and working for someone else. I would like to move into work I love by building my own business, where do I even start? This episode is all about making the changes that get you closer to doing what you love. Too many people are in work they don’t love – let’s face work they hate, that drains them, they can’t wait to leave! If this is you or maybe work is ok, but you want to love it, put these actions in place and see how things can shift for you. Here’s a snapshot of the first 2 actions: Action #1: Know what it is you want to do. Okay so you are most likely frustrated and know that you just want to get out! However, this isn’t enough to make a successful change. You might be clear on what you want to get away from, and it is super important that you know what you want to go towards. Be as clear and specific as you can be so that you have a ‘bull’s eye’ target to aim for. The clearer you are the easier it will be to achieve it. However, if you don’t know what you want yet, that’s ok, take the time to figure it out because you need to know to put a strong foot forward. The good news is that you really can’t get it wrong, because sometimes figuring out what you want means trying new things. Just know that there are options and you don’t have to settle for less because you can have more. And also know that clarity is a practice of questioning, so continue to ask yourself questions that guide you closer to your answers. Action #2: Find out what has stopped you so far and do something different. Here’s a summary of all 9 actions:

| 021: 8 Steps To Boost Your Productivity - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 27 Nov 2019 | 00:08:34 | |
This week I’m going to offer some tips to boost your productivity. So we all know what it’s like to have lots to do and only 24 hours in the day. By the time you minus an average of eight hours sleep, you’re left 16 hours to get things done. When your ‘to do’ list reaches the floor, how do you manage to fit everything in? Before I had anyone on my team, I did everything on my own and boy was that a ride. The benefits were that I learned about making and editing videos, basic design skills, website development and pretty much every aspect my business needs to thrive. However, it meant I was busy doing everything and those sixteen hours got swallowed up in no time, not to mention being busy mum of three! So, I know first-hand that getting things done had to be about working smarter not harder, and so I had to learn to simplify things to be more productive. As Tim Ferris says - ‘Focus on being productive instead of busy’ Tune in for my 8 steps to boost productivity... | |||
| 020: Your Healing Starts With You - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 20 Nov 2019 | 00:05:42 | |
We are all perfect at our purest essence. Through life’s ups and downs and experiences we sometimes lose touch with this essence and lose connection with ourselves. However, when we remember that we are whole, and that harmony is our natural state of being, we can take practical steps towards reconnecting with our highest self. This is the healing I’m talking about here. Whether you are experiencing physical or emotional pain it is important to acknowledge it. Acknowledging your pain, however, doesn’t mean to give it power by focussing on it, but simply to recognise that it is present. This recognition gives you an opportunity to uncover the cause, so that you can efficiently deal with the symptoms and invite healing to take place. Everything that you do is consciously or unconsciously supported by an intention. When you want to create balance and wellbeing, you must have that intention in mind so that it becomes your reality. An intention doesn’t have to be complicated or elaborate. You only have to tune in to your body, mind and soul to find what it is that you truly want. Set your intention - “I am healthy, I am whole, I am at peace”. Focusing on your intention can help you get back into the flow of universal energy bringing you back to harmony and reflecting this outwardly into your life. Your thoughts and words have power. While you may have little control over the thoughts that enter your mind, you do have control over whether you give them power, by focussing on them, or whether you believe them to be true. The key is to accept them as they come into your mind with the awareness that they are just thoughts. Acknowledge them; let go of the ones that do not serve you and replace them with empowering thoughts instead. Just like it is important to feed the body food that will nourish you back to health (or keep you in good health), it is important to feed your mind words that will nourish your soul. Choose your words wisely and affirm them as we create as we speak. I am in good health - my body, mind and soul are in perfect harmony with the universe. I trust the process of life. Utter the words and be receptive to your healing. Being receptive is all about allowing yourself to be in the flow – connecting with that universal energy or frequency that runs through each of us. Remember that harmony is your natural state of being and so when you accept and surrender to that knowing; magic happens. To surrender, just be open, relax and let go of the need for a particular outcome. It is not always easy to relinquish control and the key is in recognising that being in the flow is not about control, but instead about letting go and coming back home to YOU. Tune in to the frequency that supports you, then you are more receptive to healing taking place. Think of it like tuning in to your favourite radio station. The music is playing whether you tune in or not, but when you do, you find joy in listening to the sounds that uplift your spirit! Take responsibility for your own healing because remember, Your Healing Starts with You. | |||
| 019: 4 Steps in Creating Healthy Boundaries - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 13 Nov 2019 | 00:07:28 | |
Welcome to a new episode of Soulfull Sound Coaching! Each month, l’ll be answering your questions about anything related to healing and transformation, connecting with yourself, discovering your gifts and practical strategies on sharing your gifts with the world, or... any burning question you have and sense that I'm the right person to answer it. I need to take charge of my life and set clear boundaries. What are some ways that I could implement healthy boundaries in my life? Here’s a snapshot of the first 2 steps you can take right now! Step 1 - Know your parameters Know your parameters around work, relationships, and other areas of your life. Step 2 - Don’t be a people pleaser - it’s ok to say no. This one I had to learn for myself because I associated yes with be helpful and selfless, but when it got to a point where my well-being was the cost of so many YESes I practiced the NOs more often. It is great to be helpful and serve others, but not so much if the cost is you, because in reality the only way you can truly give to others if you have something to give. It is important to give to yourself first. We hear all the time the example of being in an airplane and the oxygen masks drop down. The first thing you’re told is to put it on yourself first then help others. There’s no point in passing out trying to be of help to someone else! So the same applies here. Fill up your cup to overflow and then you have plenty to share around. Listen in for the full scoop! | |||
| 018: Lucinda Allen On Voice, Rehabilitation & Healing | 06 Nov 2019 | 00:59:14 | |

| 017: The Power Of Collective Intention - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 30 Oct 2019 | 00:08:10 | |
This week’s episode is all about the Power of Collective Intention. Deepak Chopra says,“Intention is the starting point of every dream. It is the creative power that fulfils all of our needs” I use intention a lot in my practice because I notice that when we set an intention for anything, it guides our thoughts and actions, which are equally important with how we follow through. Intention brings full awareness to our minds and helps to make sure our actions are fully aligned with what we truly want. It also makes us more receptive towards achieving our goals. Let us not confuse goals with intention. For example, you may have a goal of making £10,000 per month, but what drives you to make that amount of money? The intention behind it could be something along the lines of “I have peace of mind and am free to travel when I want which makes my heart sing!” So again, we’re looking at what drives the goal and not the goal itself. In order to look at the power of intention I’d like to invite you to try on the following perspective, to be receptive and open to possibly a new way of thinking. This is to understand that everything in life is essentially one. All energy on this vibrational planet is connected in one form or another. The foundations of mind and matter is consciousness - universal consciousness. And universal consciousness is a unified field of energy. Over the years several studies and research has been done about this unified energy field which connects all matter that exists on this planet. So when you hear the statement "we are all one" it is not just about a want or need to create unity in this world, but also to reflect that energy field that connects all atoms, all molecules and form as we know it. | |||
| 124: Mia Martina - From Pop Star to Sound Healing Visionary | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:57:00 | |
In this episode of the Soulfull Sound Podcast, host Simone Niles sits down with Mia Martina — multi-platinum recording artist, author, and sound-healing visionary — to explore how sound, frequency, and intention can support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep inner healing. Mia shares her powerful journey from global pop stardom and high-pressure touring to working with sound as medicine, revealing how frequencies supported her through overwhelm, ADHD, and endometriosis-related flare-ups. Together, we explore how sound moves through the body beyond the mind, what true nervous system regulation feels like in lived experience, and why healing isn’t always comfortable before it becomes relieving. Mia introduces Undeniable Frequencies, a collection of guided meditations and instrumental soundscapes created to support focus, calm, sleep, and emotional processing. The conversation weaves through identity shifts, authenticity, spiritual practice, and listening to the body as a teacher, alongside insights from Mia’s TEDx performance, her transition from pop music to music as medicine, and her vision for an immersive wellness centre — a “Wellness Castle” devoted to restoration, creativity, and connection through sound. This episode is a grounded, honest exploration of sound healing, frequency, and the nervous system — offering inspiration for musicians, healers, creatives, and anyone seeking regulation, resonance, and a deeper relationship with sound.

| 015: How To Know When To Say Yes Or No To An Opportunity - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 16 Oct 2019 | 00:07:34 | |
This month’s question comes from Katerina. I find myself blessed to have opportunities coming my way, but sometimes I don’t know which way to go. How do I know when to say Yes or No to an opportunity? First thing that I want to point out is that you have started this question from a place of gratitude – being blessed with opportunity, so I just want to acknowledge that. I’m sure there are many approaches to this type of question and so I’m going to share what personally works for me. You may have heard me say this before and I’m sure you’ll hear it many times in the future. My approach with most things is an inside out approach, meaning I focus on what’s going inside of me, as much as (if not more) than that outside of me. So, while I do know my goals and what I’m wanting to achieve from my business and life (which is not static and always evolving). I also know my personal and self-development goals related to the betterment of myself. And for me one of these is growth. So, when I have to make to decisions around opportunities that arise, I do a few simple things as a litmus test of some sort. Starting with the inner – I use my intuition. What is my first response to the offer? Notice what your sensory response is to the opportunity. Our bodies create different sensations to something that is a yes and something that is a no. With some body awareness, you can actually test this out for yourself with a simple exercise. Sit/stand a relaxed manner and just notice your body so you have a starting point. Breathe deeply and relax your body. Then say the word Yes out loud at least 20 times and then stop and notice your body – what are you feeling now? Are you noticing any subtle changes? Then do the opposite and say the word no out loud at least 20 times and notice the difference. You might notice that for the word yes, your body naturally wants to go forward or towards something and that with the word no, it wants to move backwards or away from something. Taking it to a mundane level, when someone offers us something, let’s say a food for example that we don’t like and we say ‘no thanks’, we often slightly bring our bodies backwards in response. It’s worth noticing these subtleties because when noticed, you can then tune in at a deeper sensory level. And when tuning in at a deeper sensory level you then have access to tuning into a tangible/palpable space where you can source your intuition. Listen to full episode for all the tips! | |||

| 013: 6 Steps To Explore Your Purpose - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 02 Oct 2019 | 00:09:38 | |
This week I’m going to speak about a hot topic for my community and that is how to explore what you’re here to do – your purpose. First let me give you some context about my take on this topic. While I believe we are all here to play our unique part in the world and that we all have unique gifts to share, I do not believe that this is rigid or static. I think that as we evolve, the nature of what we’re here to do evolves and within that evolution we can tap into our natural gifts and express them into the world. So the steps I’m about to dive into are not a one-time experience, but instead a process that you can repeat throughout your life to stay within alignment with your purpose. Here's the summary of these 6 steps: 2. Remove obstacles. 3. Get in touch with your Intuition. 4. Explore the clues in your life. 6. Go out and play. | |||
| 012: Sharing Your Gifts - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 25 Sep 2019 | 00:05:54 | |
Discovering your gift is the first part, living it is equally important. No one else has your unique gift and so only you can express it into the world. And every individual has a responsibility to humanity. A responsibility to share our heart vibration out to the world. You discover your gifts through tuning IN, so you can then serve OUT into the world – to be of service to what you are becoming. When someone releases their gift, they’re releasing the next stage of their own evolution and activating that same vibration and frequency in others as well. It’s why we’re here – to uplift each other and raise the vibration of the planet. To share your gift, start by taking action. Imagine that you wake up every day and can’t wait to do what you love. Imagine that your gift is tapping you on the shoulder and saying, ‘hey let’s do this!’. Take those feelings and explore all the ideas that come forth about how you must practically express your gifts. This is where you connect your heart and head. Your heart and your head are like two advisors. They behave in different ways and use different vocabulary. Our head is where the reasoning, logic, and thoughts dwell. It’s what we use to think things through and debate the “pro’s and the con’s.” Our heart is where our intuition resides. It is the source of that little voice that guides us, if we let it. Our heart is where our True Self resides, our Inner wisdom, Higher Self – the only one that truly knows what is best for us. Without practice, it’s harder to hear our heart. The good news is, if you have discovered your gift, you have a great relationship with your heart and so now it’s time to bring your head more into the equation. Ask Yourself:
Go out and dance and sing, paint, bake, draw, build, create and PLAY! Invite your gift along for the ride and see where the adventures take you. Then reflect on your adventures, so that you can hone your expression and continue the journey of authentic and joyful expression. Express your heart’s song into the world through your skills, your story, your message, your thoughts and your actions. Remember that the world needs your gift, the gift that only you have. *With thanks to Antoine Cotton for his piano compositions. | |||
| 011: Why You Lose Momentum or Feel Stuck and What to Do About It - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 18 Sep 2019 | 00:08:20 | |
Welcome to a new episode of Soulfull Sound Coaching! Each month, l’ll be answering your questions about anything related to healing and transformation, connecting with yourself, discovering your gifts and practical strategies on sharing your gifts with the world, or... any burning question you have and sense that I'm the right person to answer it! This episode answers a question from Paul. There are some common reasons why people lose momentum or get stuck when taking action and so what I’ll do is touch on those here so that you have a few things to practise. And for all of you listening, whether you’re building a business or not, these tips will help you get through those moments when you feel stuck with a project, or just in general when dealing with having to do, be or have more and needing to take actions to support that change. My approach with most things is an ‘INSIDE OUT APPROACH’. Meaning that if something isn’t working, I look not only at what’s going on around me, but also what’s going on within me. Whenever someone says they’re stuck, the first thing I ask is, “What are you resisting?” Resistance is like building a dam which stops the flow of water so that we’re not flooded! And in the case of having plenty to do, flooding can cause overwhelm and stress and who wants more of that? Listen in for some ways you can use to help you navigate through resistance and get back into the flow. | |||
| 010: Dr Saida Désilets On Healing Through Sovereignty and Connectedness; Empowerment through Desire | 11 Sep 2019 | 00:59:28 | |
On today’s episode of the Soulfull Sound Podcast, I enter into conversation with the beautiful Dr Saida Désilets who is a body philosopher, counter-culture creatrix and advocate for sexual sovereignty. With a PhD in Trans-personal Psychology her research has opened the doors to helping women world wide to reclaim, enliven and ignite their erotic genius. In this episode Saida shares her personal healing journey – from being told she had two weeks to live, to living a full and vibrant life. She speaks about sexual sovereignty and offers some practical first steps you can take to reclaim yours. Saida also talks about desire which she regards as an emerging, evolutionary force in our lives to be both harnessed and trusted as our own unique compass. Saida gets personal and delves deep into her story; dropping nuggets on the steps she took towards healing herself. Her short poem (below) beautifully expresses her take on healing. It is through loving that we heal, because in truth there is nothing to heal, only the loving to reveal.

| 009: To Be Or Not To Be YOU - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 04 Sep 2019 | 00:08:04 | |
In today’s Soulfull Sound Coaching episode, I talk about being authentic and it starts with being true to YOU. The world is full of ideas, influences, information and countless ways to create the life and business of your dreams. One of the things that I know through my many years of teaching and coaching is that people don’t ‘get you’ unless you ‘get yourself’. In the world of expressing your gifts through a business or cause, it’s hard sometimes to see through the fanfare and the circus of options around us, so we sometimes find ourselves buried beneath the status quo and anything we dare to explore outside of these walls is considered taboo. Well it’s time to get real! The hard part of getting real is being courageous enough to be different, to venture outside your comfort zone and to care less about that others think. Why am I telling you this? Because to express yourself authentically you must first be real with yourself about what you want and be willing to not see things as ‘black and white’, but instead with vibrant colours shining with possibility. Okay but let’s be honest, this can be a big ask for some right? Let me ask you this, would you be willing to step into greatness if you knew how and had help? I know, I know, society has made us this way. We were taught that work and play are two separate things. Do any of these sound familiar? “Finish your homework, then you can go out to play. Be serious at work and then play on the weekends.” This conditioning goes deep! We had numerous messages from our influencers whether from parents, teachers, religious leaders and so on, about the order in which things were supposed to unfold. Something along the lines of ‘get your education, get a job, get married, buy a house, have kids’ – well boy did I get that ‘wrong’! The thing is we need to stop blaming society now, because are society! We need to take responsibility and change the cycle, so that we create a society that is more about expressing our authentic selves.Listen to full episode and learn how you can dare to be YOU! | |||
| 008: Discovering Your Gifts - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 28 Aug 2019 | 00:06:42 | |
How do you discover you gift?
Who I am is an emerging possibility. Now LISTEN, stop and listen, be silent and listen, open your heart and listen. If you want to create a positive environment for your gifts to flow through you, give energy to the things you like and take energy away from the things you don’t like. Use the words that encourage you and others around you, because we create as we speak. There are some things you can’t get to through your mind, that you can only get through your heart. So, it is important to open your heart and listen to its song. Listen to how the notes resonate and the beautiful symphony that is being composed. Every individual has a responsibility to humanity. A responsibility to share our heart vibration out to the world. We must start by healing our relationships with ourselves and with others, by healing past traumas and by aligning ourselves with positive energy and frequency. We create our own reality by deciding what to focus on – we have a choice. So, what are you deciding to focus on? How about focusing on love, on compassion, on being of service? Focusing on making an impact in the world, being the change, we want to see in the world?
When you come alive and want to share yourself with the world. Open your heart, for there is no one else like you and no one else who can do You better than You! The world deserves your gift and that’s why you have one – to leave your mark in this world, so go do you! *With thanks to Antoine Cotton for his piano compositions. | |||
| 007: Job To Business Transition - Soulfull Sound Coaching Q&A | 21 Aug 2019 | 00:08:01 | |
Each month, l’ll be answering your questions about anything related to healing and transformation, connecting with yourself, discovering your gifts and practical strategies on sharing your gifts with the world, or… any burning question you have and sense that I'm the right person to answer it! This week I answer a question from Jenny. "I finally feel like I’ve found my purpose and started my own business but ended up back in a job when it didn’t work out. How can I make sure that doesn't happen again?" The #1 mistake to avoid BEFORE starting your transition from job to business is acting out of fear. The thing is there are strategies to overcome ALL of these obstacles! So you must avoid acting out of fear. Here’s what happens when you don’t avoid it. One of two things happen: you move quickly into something else without going through the proper steps and end up in the same position somewhere else. OR worse, you stay put because it feels easier, though that approach is a like double edge sword. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, right? Listen in for some of my top strategies on creating a strong foundation for moving from your job to your dream business. | |||
| 123: Adam Bokesch on Music For Sleep and Deep Relaxation | 28 Jan 2026 | 01:03:09 | |
In an overstimulated world that rarely slows down, what if sound could help us remember how to rest? Together, we explore how sound can gently support the nervous system and regulate stress, moving beyond traditional ideas of “music” into the realm of utility music designed specifically for sleep, meditation, and deep rest. Adam shares his personal relationship with insomnia and how it profoundly shaped his creative path, including the minimalist, intentional process behind his album Light Remembered. We unpack why consistency and simplicity are essential for true restoration, delve into the role of frequencies, binaural beats, and intention in sound, and examine how immersive listening experiences—through spatial audio and Dolby Atmos—can enhance states of rest and presence. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reframe: rest is not a luxury, but a fundamental necessity for wellbeing and creativity. This conversation is an invitation to pause, soften and reconnect with the quiet spaces within — especially the liminal moments between wakefulness and sleep.

| 005: 6 Steps To Set Compelling Goals - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 07 Aug 2019 | 00:10:55 | |
Ever feel that setting goals is a pointless exercise? Or that even when you set goals, you never follow through? That might be because you’re not making your goals compelling enough! In part one of this goal setting success series we looked at the 5 reasons why your goals fail – the old model of setting goals. In today’s episode we explore a new model – the 6 most important steps you must take to set compelling goals that make you fired up to achieve them. A few great questions to ask yourself to check what is really important to you are: “If no one else cared whether I achieved this goal or not, would I still want to?” What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail? The truth is that behind old patterns of conditioning, current fads and those ‘shoulds’ you really do know what you want. The key is to be open and honest with yourself and allow your truest desires to call your name. It is then important to make sure you goal matches what is important to you. To know this, you must explore your values. Check out these 6 steps you must take to set compelling goals:
When you put these steps in place, you take out the guess work around setting goals and give yourself a strong foundation from which to leap into action!

| 004: 5 Reasons Why Your Goals Fail - Soulfull Sound Coaching | 20 Jul 2019 | 00:08:25 | |
Goals are simply wants or desires with a directed outcome. Why set them? The answer is simple. Without them, you may find that many times you end up where you don’t really want to be or that your life has no direction. By setting a goal, it helps you to be the director of your life story. I know that there are many of you who may be wanting to set goals, but feel a little resistance because for you it’s all about the journey. Well the definition of a journey is – ‘travelling/going from one place to another’. A journey exists because of a starting point and an end point. This does not mean however, that you need to be rigid or that your focus needs to remain on the destination rather than journey. In fact, once you have the destination sorted, I thoroughly recommend you enjoy yourself on route! So allow yourself to relinquish any resistance you feel and know that the goals you set today will allow you to enjoy your journey even more as you see it unfold. Now here’s why you’ve set goals in the past that you just let slide or didn’t take action towards achieving and how this old way of goal setting is a guaranteed way to sabotage your success. Here’s what might be stopping you:

| 003: Your Gifts Matter - Soulfull Sound Motivation | 20 Jul 2019 | 00:05:56 | |
When we are more connected with who we truly are, we create an opportunity to access our gifts – the things we are really here to do. I believe that we all have unique gifts to share. The world needs us to rise to the occasion and be bold in our expression. For it is within this space that we can truly serve others and create an impact in the world. Remember a time when you were in one of your happiest moments. How did that happiness serve you and subsequently those around you? Most likely, it felt natural to smile or laugh, you felt lit up inside and it was contagious. Just like It’s natural for the sun to shine. It doesn’t stop shining at any point and stays in alignment with its gift. When you are using your gifts:
When what’s inside ripples out, there is an energy exchange – the more you express your gift the more you inspire others to express theirs. So what if more of us or all of us accessed our gifts and used them to serve the world? Could you imagine a world where there is more harmony and love? A place where people are more together than separate? Wouldn’t you like to live there? I know I would! Your gifts matter because they are the essence of what you do. They are the cord that connects you to your higher self and when we’re connected to something greater, we are greater, we do greater and serve greater. When we’re connected to something greater, we are greater, we do greater and serve greater.
It is your birth right and you are responsible for nurturing, expressing and honouring your gift. You take on that responsibility by giving yourself permission to love yourself – giving yourself permission to heal, to start over, to let go, to be yourself, to make mistakes, to grow and to keep going no matter what! You can honour your gift by expressing gratitude and using it to serves others. After all, it’s called a gift for a reason because it something you give to others and not keep to yourself. It’s never too late to discover and share your gift because whether you use it for a lifetime or just for one day, you can create in impact in someone else’s life and that is what it’s all about. It’s time to explore and express your gifts because the world needs that more now than ever and you deserve the joy and fulfilment that goes along with it! It’s time to express your heart’s song into the world and bless us all with your composition. And I for one, can’t wait to hear it. | |||

| 001: What Is The Soulfull Sound Podcast? | 20 Jul 2019 | 00:08:32 | |
Welcome to the Soulfull Sound podcast! For so long I’ve been wanting to create a podcast to offer value and put out content that I believe will serve others in being better and doing better so that we can positively impact the world. One of the things that I’ve learned early on my journey is that to be of service to others, you need to start at home with yourself. It’s inside out approach. We are all connected and I know that by me being the best version of myself, healing past traumas (physical and emotional), connecting with who I truly am and expressing that through my gifts, that that is what would will ripple out and change the lives of my family, my students, clients, my community and as far and wide as I am felt. So I’m pretty excited because I am going to be sharing all that I can by entering into deep conversation with other leaders, teachers and coaches with the aim of igniting something within each and every one of you. Sometimes you will be inspired, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes tickled, turned on, maybe even offended, but through each of those sparks, there will be an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve.

| 121: Tonya Lester on Push Back: Live, Love, and Work with Others Without Losing Yourself | 17 Dec 2025 | 01:04:39 | |
In this rich and honest conversation, psychotherapist and author Tonya Lester joins us to explore why so many women struggle to express their needs, articulate boundaries, and honour their truth in relationships and everyday life. Drawing from her clinical work, her book Push Back, and her own personal experiences, Tonya unpacks the deeper social conditioning that teaches women to be pleasing, agreeable, and conflict-averse — even when this silence slowly erodes their sense of self. She also sheds light on the emotional “weather-vanes” such as resentment, envy, and flattening that signal when a woman’s voice is going underground, and how following these emotional breadcrumbs can reveal what truly needs to be addressed. Together, we explore the complexity of communication: how to speak to the person who actually needs to hear your truth, how to prepare for difficult conversations, and why directness is often the kindest and clearest route forward. They discuss responsibility, self-reflection, and the courage required to ask for change — as well as the internal work needed to hold steady when someone reacts poorly. From perfectionism and its roots in anxiety, to the everyday practice of assertiveness, this episode offers practical insight into reclaiming one’s voice from the inside out. The conversation also dives into over-functioning, gendered expectations, gaslighting, and the difficult truth that not liking our options doesn't mean we lack them. Tonya speaks candidly about changing one’s mind, renegotiating responsibilities, and the pathways available when a relationship is hurting you but you’re not ready to leave. Ultimately, this dialogue is an invitation to build inner grounding, expand your resources, cultivate reciprocity, and honour the power of being a “difficult” woman — not abrasive or unreasonable, but someone willing to speak clearly, ask for what she needs, and create a life aligned with her values.

Join us on the Soulfull Sound podcast as we explore the profound journey of alignment and abundance with Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling author and transformational leader. Christy shares her profound journey from internal dissatisfaction to a harmonious state of flow and abundance. She reveals how she transitioned from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance through meditation and mindset shifts, transforming her life by aligning thoughts and intentions. Her story is a testament to overcoming internal resistance and the fight, flight, or freeze responses that often keep us stuck in survival mode. Through visualisation techniques and self-compassion, Christy emphasises the power of "I am" statements to regain neutrality and presence, ultimately unlocking a creative and aligned state of being. Our exploration continues with the concept of mastering energy and self-compassion, a key to unlocking personal and spiritual growth. Christy and I highlight the significance of what we hold within our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies. By embracing practical techniques from the "Flow Factor" (her latest book), listeners can learn to process emotions and maintain high-frequency vibrations, achieving a state of flow that supports manifesting positive outcomes. The discussion also touches upon Christy's experiences with channeling creative downloads from higher intelligence, offering a glimpse into the unique challenges of balancing spiritual practice with daily life. Wrapping up, we discuss the transformative power of healing through light and alignment, exploring meditation series and energy work that foster personal growth. Christy and I also delve into choosing empowerment and compassion, breaking free from the "drama triangle" to embrace self-responsibility and transformation. With these insights, we aim to inspire listeners to shift their perspectives and find multiple solutions, much like a butterfly's many paths, leading to a life of transformation, abundance and flow.
