    S3EP23 | The Power of Presence: A Conversation with Sister Katie Flanagan

    Send us Fan Mail What if real connection starts with simply being present? The most delightful conversation with Sister Katie Flanagan, a member of the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco, brought that very question front-and-center on this week’s episode of the pod.  Sr. Katie graciously speaks to the quiet but powerful impact that living with intention, presence, and authentic connection can bring to all of our lives.   Sr. Katie shares her personal journey into religious life: how she discerned her calling, the role of inner peace in recognizing God’s voice, and the courage it takes to say yes to a life of service. Her story truly invites us all to reflect on our own sense of purpose and the ways we are being called to show up more fully in our daily lives. We also dive into the mission of the Salesian Sisters, a global community dedicated to accompanying young people, especially those most in need. Rooted in joy, relationship, and trust, their work goes beyond just education…it’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and loved.  We explore what it means to truly be present in a world full of distractions, how deep listening can transform our relationships, and why connection begins not with doing more, but with simply being. Sr. Katie’s honestly, transparency, and her faithful walk make her one of the most graciously engaging people you’ll have the chance to learn from.  Her gentle and genuine demeanor invites all of us to slow down, tune in, and discover the sacredness of showing up…just as you are.   “Be still, and know that I am God.”  - Psalm 46:10 Everyone has a story, and every story matters; let's make your story count!

    S3EP22 | The Courage of Trying Again: Why Choice Matters

    Send us Fan Mail “What you’re not changing, you’re choosing.” Successful gymnastics coach and business owner Ginger Raines captures it perfectly. Change can feel overwhelming, especially when we’re caught in cycles of self-doubt. In those moments, we often find ourselves choosing the harder path, the one that keeps us stuck and disconnected from the strengths already within us. But growth begins the moment we decide to rise, reset, and try again. In this conversation, Ginger shares the courage it takes to move forward after failure, disappointment, or doubt. When life doesn’t go as planned, it can leave us carrying emotional weight. The power, as Ginger reminds us, lies in what we choose to do with it. Through her own experiences, and the ones she witnesses every day, she’s seen firsthand how resilience is built, not given. Ginger’s perspective is rooted in honest self-work and a deep understanding of the balance between humility and confidence. It’s a balance she not only lives by, but instills in her athletes. Life will always bring setbacks alongside new beginnings. More often than not, we find ourselves standing at the edge of a choice. When we embrace that truth, we unlock the resilience to move forward, recommit to our path, and reimagine what’s possible. Because trying again isn’t weakness...it’s an act of profound self-trust.

    S3EP21 | Being vs. Doing: Finding Peace in the Pause

    Send a text Have you ever noticed how hard it is to just be? The shift from doing to being can feel uncomfortable for many of us. Slowing down, letting go of the push, and simply existing can bring clarity and peace—but it can also lead us down challenging, unfamiliar paths. In a fast-paced world, embracing “being” often feels unnatural, even foreign. Yet even small moments spent in stillness can create a sense of presence and grounding that we’re often searching for. On this episode, Wendy of Stillhouse Herbals opens up about her own journey with being—how she’s learned to embrace stillness amidst the changes and harder seasons of life. We explore why it can feel so uncomfortable to stop pushing, how the world constantly nudges us toward productivity, and what it really means to pause, breathe, and simply exist. This conversation is an invitation to step out of the constant doing, even just for a moment, and give yourself the space to simply be. It’s in these moments that awareness, peace, and calm can begin to take root in our lives. Everyone has a story, and every story matters; let's make your story count!

Renowned songwriter and songwriter coach Rick Beresford shares a powerful conversation about cultivating inner peace in the midst of a demanding creative life and how it is a mainstay for his success.   Rick has spent decades helping songwriters develop their craft, but just as importantly, he’s learned how to build a life grounded in clarity, purpose, and inner calm. In our conversation, he shares the personal journey that led him to prioritize peace over pressure, and how that shift has influenced both his music and the way he moves through the world and impacts others along the way. Inner peace is a real possibility for our lives, not an abstract idea.  Finding the daily practice that works in your life is key.  Rick opens up about the habits, mindset shifts, and life experiences that helped him create that sense of steadiness and balance while navigating the ups and downs of his life and creative career. Whether you’re a songwriter, artist, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking for more calm and direction, this episode is a reminder that success means little without peace…and that a grounded life is the foundation for everything worth creating.

    S3EP19 | Your Life Reimagined: The Power of Career Reinvention

    Send us Fan Mail What if the life you’re meant to live is waiting on the other side of one brave shift? Voice-over artist and actor Mike Decello shares an honest and deeply inspiring conversation about career reinvention and what it really looks like to change your life with intention.  Mike’s  personal journey of professional and spiritual evolution is real and transparent as he opens up about the courage it takes to pivot, redefine success, and trust your inner calling, even when the path feels uncertain. Together we explore how reinvention invites us to step beyond our comfort zones, reconnect with who we truly are, and embrace our greatness without apology. Living in alignment with your true purpose rarely unfolds in a straight line. It often comes through redirection, unexpected turns, and moments that stretch us into deeper self-awareness. But when we honor the call and follow it forward, we begin to understand our worthiness at a seriously profound level. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to make a change, step into a new chapter, or finally claim the space you know you’re meant to hold, this conversation is your reminder: your shift isn’t random…it’s an invitation to live in purpose, on purpose!

    S3EP17 | Rejection or Redirection? Trusting the Pivots and the Process

    Send us Fan Mail What if the detours in your life aren’t setbacks — but sacred redirections? In this powerful episode of the pod, I sit down with Sami Shea to explore the deeper meaning behind life’s unexpected pivots. A former collegiate gymnast, Sami knows what it’s like to dedicate your life to one dream — and then have that chapter close. She opens up about navigating that season of life and learning to trust the unfolding instead of resisting it. Sami gets honest about how redirection can show up as disappointment, endings, or uncomfortable change — yet ultimately guide us closer to alignment, purpose, and personal truth. We talk about the importance of celebrating the moments that are successful along the way, even when the bigger picture isn’t fully clear, and how your mindset plays a powerful role in how you experience redirection. When you choose to trust it, redirection can actually reveal your potential in ways you couldn’t have planned. Sami shares her insights on divine timing, releasing control without losing momentum, and believing that what’s ahead may be greater than what you thought you wanted. This episode is a reminder that sometimes what feels like rejection is actually protection — and that redirection is simply your soul recalibrating.

    S3EP16 | Raising Strength: The Resilience of Single Parenting

    Send us Fan Mail Single parenting pushes you into a self-trust and resilience most never witness—but everyone needs. In this episode of The Soul Goals, successful business coach, performance leader, and keynote speaker Stephanie Richardson opens up with honest, grounded conversation about the realities of single parenting—the quiet struggles, unseen strength, and profound personal growth it demands.

We dive into what it means to parent intentionally, to do deep inner work while guiding another human, and how single parenthood can reshape your identity in ways no one prepares you for. Stephanie opens up about the weight of making decisions alone, navigating exhaustion and self-doubt, and embracing the unexpected wins that build clarity, resilience, and self-trust. This episode is for anyone learning to hold responsibility and softness at the same time—and realizing that the person they’re becoming is stronger, wiser, and unapologetically themselves.
