    412: Dr.Thema Bryant on Healing Your Relationship With Yourself and Those You Love
    Aug 26 2025
    “Healing is uncomfortable, the dysfunction may be painful, but it’s familiar. Growth requires stepping into the unfamiliar.” What if the wounds you carry aren’t just your own, but echoes of generations before you, and the path to freedom begins not with fixing the past, but by choosing to live differently today? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with psychologist, minister, and bestselling author Dr. Thema Bryant for a conversation that cuts to the heart of healing. Known for her groundbreaking work in trauma recovery and soulful living, Dr. Thema reveals that sensitivity, so often dismissed as weakness, is actually a profound gift, and that the very places we feel most broken can become the birthplace of compassion, resilience, and joy. Together, we explore the hidden ways intergenerational trauma shapes our choices, relationships, and sense of self, and how cycles of pain can finally be interrupted. Dr. Thema shares how forgiveness is often misunderstood, why healing can feel uncomfortable, and the daily rituals that keep us anchored in love when the world feels overwhelming. This is not just an interview about psychology. It’s a soulful roadmap back to yourself, an invitation to release the weight of shame, reclaim your voice, and create a lineage of freedom. With warmth and spiritual depth, Dr. Thema reminds us that healing isn’t reserved for a chosen few. It’s possible for you, too. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can truly heal, or longed to break free from patterns that don’t feel like they’re even yours, this episode will give you the hope, the tools, and the courage to begin. Listen to this episode and learn how to transform sensitivity into strength, break cycles of inherited pain, and create a healing legacy of freedom and love.

  • 411: The Six Phases of Romantic Relationship

    411: The Six Phases of Romantic Relationship
    Aug 19 2025

    “Relationship is a spiritual practice. It will awaken you, challenge you, and purify you from the inside out.”

    Have you ever wondered why relationships start so magically, only to become messy, complicated, and sometimes painful? In the beginning, everything feels effortless: the butterflies, the passion, the fantasy of having finally found “the one.” But then reality sets in. The flaws appear. The masks drop. And you start to ask yourself, “Did I choose the right person?”

    In this episode of Soul Talk, I take you on a journey through the six phases of a romantic relationship. Drawing from my marriage and years of witnessing couples struggle, grow, and transform, I reveal the deeper purpose of love and why so many of us get stuck in the early stages.

    If you’ve ever struggled with love, felt like running when things got hard, or wondered how to keep a relationship alive after the initial spark fades, this episode will give you the roadmap. True love isn’t just a feeling; it’s a choice, a practice, and ultimately, a legacy that can inspire others.

    Because real love doesn’t end at the honeymoon. Real love begins when the fantasy ends.

    Timestamps:

    • (00:03:38) - Why sustaining love is harder than falling in love
    • (00:05:54) - T Relationship as a spiritual path and mirror
    • (00:09:54) - The healing purpose of relationships

    • (00:25:42) - Phase 4: The Acceptance & Intention Phase
    • (00:31:32) - Phase 5: The Unconditional Love Phase
    • (00:36:48) - Phase 6: The Legacy & Leadership Phase
    • (00:39:18) - Taking radical responsibility in love

    Some questions I ask:

    • What does it take to move from fantasy to real love?
    • Why do we attract certain partners into our lives?
    • How do unresolved childhood wounds shape our relationships?
    • What is the true purpose of a romantic relationship?
    • Can love survive when the fantasy fades?

    In this episode, you will learn about:

    • The six distinct phases every romantic relationship passes through.
    • Why the honeymoon stage is a fantasy and not real love.
    • How relationships act as mirrors for your deepest wounds and healing.
    • The key difference between connection and true love.
    • How to practice unconditional love without accepting abuse.
    • The spiritual purpose of partnership as a dojo for growth.

  • 410: Betsy Polatin on How to Release Your Hidden Trauma and Be Free

    410: Betsy Polatin on How to Release Your Hidden Trauma and Be Free
    Aug 13 2025
    “The system is geared for wellbeing. When given the right conditions, we naturally move toward it.” What if true healing isn’t found by reliving the past, but by reconnecting with the unshakable support that’s been holding you all along? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with internationally acclaimed movement and breathing specialist Betsy Polatin for a deeply transformative exploration of trauma, embodiment, and the body’s innate capacity to heal. Betsy, celebrated author of Humanual: An Epic Journey to Your Expanded Self, has spent decades guiding performers, musicians, actors, and everyday people toward greater freedom and ease. Drawing from the Alexander Technique, somatic education, and breath awareness, she reveals a life-changing truth: the body remembers what the mind forgets, and you don’t have to recall the story of your trauma to be free from it. We dive into how unprocessed experiences silently shape the way you breathe, move, and respond to life; why healthy anger is essential while stored rage keeps you stuck; and how subtle shifts in awareness can unlock decades of tension. Betsy also leads a simple but powerful grounding practice you can use anytime to feel the unwavering presence of support beneath you, even amid life’s storms. This is not just a conversation about trauma; it’s a reminder that your system is built for well-being. Transformation doesn’t have to be forced or dramatic. With the right awareness, your body knows exactly how to return to balance, release what no longer serves, and expand into a more grounded, spacious way of being. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by patterns you can’t explain or longed to feel more at home in your body, this episode offers both the understanding and the tools to begin that shift. Listen now and rediscover the grounded, unshakable self that has been within you all along. Timestamps: (00:02:15) - How Betsy’s journey from dance to somatic education began.(00:09:09) - What trauma is and how to know if you have it.(00:14:04) - The violinist's story: uncovering hidden trauma without knowing it.(00:26:12) - Guided grounding and support awareness exercise.(00:33:45) - Understanding anger: healthy vs. stored rage.(00:43:58) - Why Betsy doesn’t teach “belly breathing” and the truth about lung function.(00:53:09) - Advice for parents: raising healthy kids by working on yourself.(00:56:26) - Betsy’s three life wisdoms to pass on to the next generation. Some Questions I Ask: How did you know you wanted to do this work?Is it possible to be human and not have any trauma?Do you need to remember your trauma to heal it?How much does telling your story matter in healing?What’s the difference between natural release and forced posture or movement?What role does breath play in healing, and how should we breathe?How can parents raise healthy children in today’s world? In This Episode, You Will Learn: How trauma shows up in the body, even if you don’t remember it. The two main types of trauma and how they affect us differently.Why awareness can naturally shift your body without force.A simple grounding exercise to feel supported anytime.The difference between healthy anger and stored rage.Why “belly breathing” isn’t anatomically correct, and what to do instead.Why working on yourself is the most powerful gift you can give your children.
