Please HELP FUND SEASON 3! No amount too small. Visit: throne.com/language_of_the_soul Based on Dominick Domingo’s acclaimed book by the same name, Language of the Soul Podcast explores the infinite ways in which life, simply put, is story. Individually, we’re all products of the stories we’ve been exposed to. Collectively, culture is the sum of its history. Our respective worldviews are little more than stories we tell about ourselves. Socialization is the amalgamation of narratives we weave about the human condition, shaping everything from the codes we live by to policy itself. Language of the Soul Podcast spotlights master storytellers in the Arts and Entertainment, from cinema to the literary realm. It explores topical social issues through the lens of narrative, with an eye on the march toward human potential. And as always, a nudge to embrace the power of story in our lives…To order the book that inspired the podcast, Language of the Soul: How Story Became the Means by which We Transform, visit:  dominickdomingo.com/books To book a Speaking Engagement with Dominick: dominickdomingo.com/speakingThink you would be a great guest for our podcast; please submit a request at LOTS Guest Pitch Form.

    Chapter One Roundtable: STORY and TRANSFORMATION

    Order the book that inspired the podcast, Language of the Soul: How Story Became the Means by which We Transform at dominickdomingo.com/books When the plot of life breaks, the real story begins. We open Season Three of Language of the Soul Podcast by returning to the book that inspired it, using  Chapter One: STORY and TRANSFORMATION to map the path from crisis to opportunity, from strife to paradigm shift. Conflict resolution is the means by which we transform, individually and collectively. Through the ripple effect, personal transformation always equals cultural evolution. Alongside guest Andrea Slominski, PhD—storyteller, mythologist, and midlife coach—we connect narrative therapy, archetypes and the collective unconscious with the chemical basis of storytelling to show why stories are more than entertainment. They’re the means by which we transform. Andrea M. Slominski, Ph.D., is a women’s therapeutic midlife and menopause coach, speaker, and author. She went back to school at fifty-five and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in women’s psychology and mythology, focusing on the triple transformation women must navigate in midlife. Her coaching method is based on archetypal and depth psychology. In her Ph.D. research, Andrea identified the new life stage for women over the past 120 years, including perimenopause, midlife, menopause, and post-menopause. She names this new life stage from ages 45-70+ “Regency” and identifies it as women’s new power years. O We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

Contribute HERE: https://throne.com/language_of_the_soul We change minds by touching hearts. In this episode—second in this season's exploration of the Language of the Soul book—we explore how storytelling is the means by which we transform, both individually and collectively.  From the late '60s whiplash of Woodstock and the Moon Landing to the solitude of lockdown, we map why crisis categorically precedes transformation—and how narrative turns adversity into growth. From chemical growth-versus-protection responses on a cellular level, to the mapping of our world views on the neurological level—in response to daily threats and opportunities—this episode will outline the mechanics of belief. And how nothing molds our beliefs or the value systems they comprise like STORY. Order the LOTS book at Dominick's Author Page We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

From lying in the grass at Olive Park’s Creative Arts center in the 1970s listening to folk music, through landing a job at Disney during its famed ‘Animation Renaissance,’ to his time as an independent live action filmmaker and author, each formative step in his journey fueled a passion for not only the traditions behind Western storytelling structure, but its power to transform the individual and by extension, evolve society at large!

    PLEASE Help FUND Season 3—Time is of the essence and no amount is too small! Contribute HERE: https://throne.com/language_of_the_soul What if the most honest art you’ll ever make begins where control ends? We sit down with medicine woman, artist, and storyteller Alexandra Bourne to trace a decade-long pilgrimage that turned paintings into prayer and travel into ceremony. From a close call in Croatia to kickboxing in Thailand, from the stillness of the Yukon to the stars over Taranaki, Alexandra shows how creativity, intuition, and nature weave a single thread: art as medicine, story as remembrance, and surrender as strength. Alexandra Bourne In her own words: “Between story, artwork and music, or any form of creative work, we are able to generate emotion and resonance that sits behind the mask of ego and conditioning. I truly believe having healthy and expansive dialogue can create the best waves of change in a world that surely needs to be uplifted in truth."

    The FLOW State with Artist Brian Thompson

    PLEASE Help FUND Season 3—Time is of the essence and no amount is too small! Contribute HERE: https://throne.com/language_of_the_soul Enter a thought-provoking exploration of creativity, connection, and the power of visual storytelling with acclaimed illustrator and art director Brian Thompson. With over two decades of experience spanning video games, book illustration, and visual development, Thompson brings a unique perspective on how art can bridge our increasingly divided world. In an era dominated by short attention spans and digital distractions, Thompson reflects on storytelling's evolving role in culture. From its ancient origins as a tool for documenting events while making sense of our spiritual world to today's bite-sized content consumption, he articulates the profound shift in how we engage with narrative.  Perhaps most moving is Thompson's reading of his poem "A Thousand Miles Apart," which beautifully explores how artists communicate beyond language barriers. The poem's imagery of two creators working through different approaches – one additive, one subtractive – speaks to the universal wellspring of creativity that connects us, despite our isolation. Brian Thompson is passionate about teaching and the creative process. Brian's INSTA Brian's LINKTREE We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

    NOSTALGIA: More Than Just an Escape?

    PLEASE Help FUND Season 3—Time is of the essence and no amount is too small! Contribute HERE: https://throne.com/language_of_the_soul Why do we cling to certain memories while letting others fade? Dominick and Virginia take you on a journey through time, challenging the oversimplified clichés that define entire decades and generations. Together, they dismantle the reductive portrayals of Gen X in contemporary media and examine how nostalgia serves as both a comfort and a compass for identity. From questioning whether violence has truly increased over time to exploring how famously unparented "latchkey kids" developed unique forms of resilience, this conversation reveals how our selective memories shape both personal and collective narratives. The hosts share childhood recollections from 1970s and '80s California that paint a more nuanced picture than what's typically portrayed in films and television. The discussion moves beyond mere reminiscing as they consider psychological research on memory reconstruction and how we choose stories that align with our evolving sense of self.  Most powerfully, they question whether our perception of the past as "simpler" or "more innocent" is an illusion. As they note, every generation believes they're living in unprecedented times, while simultaneously longing for a golden age that may never have existed at all. We would love to hear from you!
