    Is Your Mind Running Your Life? What Your Intellect Is REALLY For

    Send us Fan Mail What if your intellect was never meant to be in charge of your life? In Episode 5 of Nourishing the Soul, Teresa Shantz and Dr. Sandra Adler explore My Intellect, Volume Five of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children. Dr. Adler shares a different way of looking at the relationship between our feelings, intuition, and intellect. Rather than allowing the mind to analyze and second-guess everything, she describes the intellect as an incredible tool that helps us organize, communicate, and bring our inner impressions into action. And this may be especially important for children. What if instead of always telling a child what to think, we asked: “What was your first impression?” Helping children recognize those first impressions can encourage greater self-trust, confidence, intuition, and independent thinking as they grow. And for adults, this episode raises an equally powerful question: Are you using your intellect as a tool—or has your intellect become the boss?

    What Happens When Feelings & Thinking Get Out of Balance?

    Send us Fan Mail What if helping a child find balance isn’t about controlling their emotions—but helping them understand the relationship between what they feel and what they think? In Episode 4 of Nourishing the Soul, Teresa Shantz and Dr. Sandra Adler explore My Balance, Volume Four of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children. We explore how a child’s feelings and intellect can work together, rather than one overpowering the other. When children begin recognizing their first impressions, understanding their feelings, and using their intellect to organize what they know, they can develop greater self-trust, confidence, emotional awareness, and inner balance. This conversation also invites parents and grandparents to look at their own balance. Are you constantly analyzing and second-guessing yourself? Or do your feelings sometimes take over and leave you overwhelmed? Balance isn’t about being perfect. It’s about learning to recognize when we’re off-center—and knowing how to come back to ourselves. A thought for every feeling. A feeling for every thought.

    Is the World Changing—or Is Your Consciousness Changing?

    Send us Fan Mail Why does the world feel so intense right now—and what if your reaction to it is telling you something about your own spiritual growth? In this episode with  TNT SpiritWorks and Tiger Coll, D.D. we explore consciousness, self-awareness, and what it means to stay spiritually grounded while navigating news, relationships, uncertainty, and the challenges happening around us. Instead of asking, “What is the world doing to me?” we explore a more empowering question: “How is this experience helping me grow?” As your consciousness expands, you may begin responding differently to fear, conflict, change, and even the people around you. You become clearer about where you begin and end, more confident in your decisions, and more willing to trust your own inner guidance. We also explore why spiritual growth isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about learning how to live in it without losing yourself. What if everything happening around you is an opportunity to become more of who you truly are?

    Where Do We REALLY Go When We Sleep? | My Home

    Send us Fan Mail Together, we explore a fascinating spiritual perspective on sleep, the soul, our spiritual home, and the connection between our physical and spiritual selves. Dr. Adler shares her perspective on the silver cord, the energetic connection believed in some spiritual traditions to remain with us while we sleep, and how children may naturally sense or understand aspects of the unseen world that adults have learned to question. We also explore how parents and grandparents can create space for children to talk about their dreams, intuitive experiences, spiritual awareness, and inner knowing—without immediately defining those experiences for them. In Episode Three of the Nourishing the Soul Podcast Series, Teresa Shantz continues her conversation with Dr. Sandra Adler, author of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children, as they explore Book Three: My Home. Together, they look at home from a spiritual perspective and explore how parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers can help children understand belonging, connection, their spiritual self, and their place within the larger universe Rather than telling children what they should believe, this conversation encourages adults to become curious about what children already feel, sense, see, and know. What happens when we ask a child questions—and then truly listen to the answers? My Home offers another opportunity to create meaningful conversations with children while encouraging them to trust their own inner awareness. ✨ Because perhaps home isn’t only somewhere we live. It can also be something we carry within us.

    Who Were You Before the World Told You Who to Be?

    Send us Fan Mail What if children already have a strong sense of who they truly are—and our job is to help them trust it? In Episode Two of the Nourishing the Soul Podcast Series, Teresa Shantz talks with Dr. Sandra Adler, author of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children, about Book Two: The Real Me. Together, they explore the idea that we are more than our physical bodies. Dr. Adler shares her spiritual perspective on the soul, intuition, inner knowing, life purpose, and the spiritual awareness children may naturally experience. This episode invites parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers to consider how we can nurture children’s natural curiosity without telling them what they should experience or believe. Because perhaps helping a child discover The Real Me isn’t about giving them more answers. It’s about helping them trust the answers they discover within themselves.
