  1. Episode 1

    Our Origin Story: Zan & Troy

    The Sacred SoulJourners Podcast isn’t here to preach—it’s here to walk the path with you. We’re Zan and Troy—two people who didn’t just meet… we recognized each other in the fire. Through breakdowns, breakthroughs, and everything in between, we’re learning what it actually means to trust yourself, follow divine guidance, and choose love over fear. This is for the spiritually curious—the ones who’ve outgrown dogma but still crave something real. Around this fire, we talk about spiritual sovereignty, shadow work, inner child healing, and manifestation through living altars—but not as concepts… as lived experience. Nature is our teacher. The fire is our mirror. And every conversation is an invitation back to your own inner authority. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more… but no clear map— pull up a seat.

  2. Episode 2

    Waking up Spiritually | You're not Losing it - Your buckets are Full

    Episode 2 drops us straight into the fire. Awakening isn’t peaceful—it’s raw, emotional, and at times… confronting. In this conversation, we open up about what happens when old patterns rise to the surface and can no longer be ignored. We explore samskaras—the emotional imprints that quietly run our reactions, our relationships, and our triggers—and what it looks like to finally see them in real time. Through our own experiences, we talk about the intensity that comes with intimacy, how love becomes the mirror for what’s unresolved, and why awakening often feels like everything is falling apart before it comes back together. This episode is about recognizing the patterns, sitting in the discomfort, and choosing to move through it instead of running from it. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions, triggered in love, or confused by your own reactions… this is the work. Come sit with us at the fire. Takeaways : Awakening brings emotional intensity—not just claritySamskaras are the hidden drivers behind our reactionsIntimacy reveals what still needs to be healedChildhood wounds show up in adult relationshipsAwareness is the first step—but integration is the workGratitude and acceptance shift the healing process Chapters : 00:00 Entering the Fire: Awakening & Emotional Intensity 07:00 Intimacy as the Mirror 11:54 Childhood Wounds & Repeating Patterns 35:13 Facing Aggression & Shadow in Real Time 49:00 Gratitude, Acceptance & Moving Forward

  3. Episode 3

    Stop the Story: Breaking Assumptions, how it has helped us

    Episode 3 opens with a grounded prayer for peace, inviting listeners to reconnect with their hearts and step out of the noise of the world and into conscious awareness. From there, Zan and Troy dive into one of the most subtle—but destructive—patterns we all carry: the stories we create in our minds. Inspired by The Four Agreements, they unpack how assumptions and taking things personally quietly fuel conflict, disconnection, and emotional pain—especially in relationships. Through real, vulnerable moments from their own week, they reveal how quickly the mind turns uncertainty into “truth”… and how often that truth isn’t real at all. But the deeper work isn’t just awareness—it’s choice. This conversation explores: The difference between reacting from old wounds vs. responding from your higher selfHow triggers reveal unhealed parts of you, not flaws in othersWhy most conflict is rooted in miscommunication, not intentionAnd how simple tools—like pausing, asking clarifying questions, and breathing—can completely shift an outcomeTroy shares a powerful breakthrough in choosing presence over reaction in a heated moment, while Zan reflects on releasing control, victim patterns, and the habit of taking things personally. They also introduce a practical next step: creating conscious relationship agreements—a framework that replaces assumption with clarity and alignment. This episode is ultimately about reclaiming your energy. Because when you stop believing every story your mind creates… you stop giving your power away. 🔥 Refined Takeaways (Make These Hit Harder):Most suffering comes from stories—not realityAssumptions are guesses your mind turns into factsTaking things personally is often a reflection of old woundsPause > React is a life-changing practiceClarity comes through breath, presence, and awarenessHealthy relationships require clear agreements, not mind-readingYour power is in how you respond—not what happens to you⏱️ Chapters (Cleaned + Stronger Language):00:00 – Opening Prayer & Setting the Frequency 05:10 – How Assumptions Create False Reality 21:19 – Why We Take Things Personally (And How It Hurts Us) 27:05 – Breaking the Pattern: Reacting vs. Conscious Response 47:50 – Creating Relationship Agreements That Actually Work

  4. Episode 4

    Being in Flow: Activating ease & grace

    Episode 4 is about what it really means to walk through the fire… and become the one who holds it. Not theory. Not spiritual fluff. This is what it looks like to live as a firekeeper of your own heart in real time. And here’s the truth… when you’re in flow—when you’re fully present and not trying to control every outcome—that’s when the magic actually happens. Recorded after a powerful weekend in Sedona, this campfire conversation is different. It’s lighter, it’s real, and it’s full of stories—moments where Zan and Troy chose flow instead of control… and watched life meet them in ways they couldn’t have planned. They share the shift from tension and emotional overwhelm into trust, alignment, and inner authority—not by getting it right, but by staying present when everything in you wants to react. This is about letting old identities burn, stepping into sacred union without earning love, and learning to move with life instead of against it. And in that space… something unexpected happens. Alignment. Synchronicity. A proposal that didn’t come from pressure—but from truth. If you’re in the in-between… if things are breaking down and you don’t fully understand why… this is the work. And flow? That’s the reward. This is the fire. 🔥

  5. Episode 5

    Powers of Love: Enduring Relationship through Loving Awareness

    Episode 5 drops us straight into the fire. Love isn’t always soft—and this conversation doesn’t pretend it is. Around the fire on Sacred Souljourners, Zan and Troy sit with Heather Grace and Jason Michael of The Powers of Love to explore what it really means to be in an evolutionary relationship. This is where psychology meets lived experience—drawing from We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love and Evolutionary Love Relationships: Passion, Authenticity, and Activism—and bringing it into the raw, unfiltered reality of love that challenges you to grow. This isn’t theory—it’s happening in real time. As the conversation unfolds, Zan and Troy are actively processing their own patterns, triggers, and breakthroughs, revealing deeper truths as they move through them. You’ll hear what it sounds like when love becomes the mirror… when intimacy exposes what’s unresolved… and when two people choose to stay present instead of run. This is the work—messy, honest, and transformative. If you’ve ever felt triggered in love, caught in patterns you don’t fully understand, or called into something deeper than surface-level connection… come sit with us at the fire. Takeaways : • Evolutionary love challenges you to grow—not just feel good • Triggers are doorways into deeper awareness • Projection and unconscious patterns shape relationships • Intimacy reveals what still needs healing • Repair and presence are essential to conscious love • Real transformation happens through lived experience Chapters : 00:00 Entering the Fire: Love, Triggers & Awakening 07:00 Intimacy as the Mirror 12:30 Projection, Patterns & Deeper Truths 28:45 Real-Time Processing in Relationship 44:10 Repair, Compassion & Choosing Growth 58:00 Integration & Moving Forward References & Resources • Learn more about Heather & Jason: The Powers of Love https://www.thepowersoflove.com/ • We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love https://a.co/d/0ihvbhTc • Evolutionary Love Relationships: Passion, Authenticity, and Activism https://a.co/d/0gaGP7sR

  6. Episode 7

    Beyond the Story: Perception, Ego & the Power of Presence

    Episode 7: Buckle up! What if the voice in your head… isn’t actually you? In this deeply personal campfire conversation, Zan Kavanah and Troy Hawkner explore the ego, perception, emotional triggers, and the painful realization that many of our reactions are rooted in old survival patterns—not present moment truth. Through raw stories from their own relationship, they unpack how childhood conditioning, trauma, the “pain body,” and inherited emotional programming shape the way we react, defend, control, and protect ourselves. Together, they explore what it really means to become aware of the ego while it’s happening—and how presence becomes the doorway to freedom. This episode dives into: • Why perception is not always truth • How the ego defends identity and emotional pain • The difference between reacting and responding • The “pain body” and emotional looping • Nervous system overwhelm and relationship triggers • Why awareness weakens the ego • The power of pause, presence, and conscious choice • What it means to stop “dumpster diving” through old wounds Recorded during the powerful Taurus New Moon and Fire Horse energies, this conversation is an invitation to burn away illusion, loosen the grip of the past, and remember who you are beneath the story.

  8. Episode 9

    We Finally Left: A Story of Faith, Fire & Becoming

    Episode 9  🔥 WE FINALLY LEFT: A Story of Faith, Fire & Becoming 🔥 After months of dreaming, planning, downsizing, packing, and navigating one of life's most stressful transitions, we finally did it — we left. In this deeply personal episode, we share the real story behind moving from a four-bedroom house into a travel trailer, the challenges we faced as a couple, and the tools that helped us move through stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm without losing ourselves in the process. We also talk about beginning work with our new spiritual coach, Lori Reising, and how the timing of that work unexpectedly brought hidden patterns and deeper healing to the surface right in the middle of the move. Ouch! And then nature showed up. On our first night at Ocean Pond, a hawk appeared beside our campsite, followed later by a pair of alligators. We share how these messengers reminded us to trust the bigger vision, stay grounded in the present moment, and have faith in the journey unfolding before us. If you're navigating a major life transition, standing in the unknown, or learning who you're becoming, this conversation is for you. 🔥 Resources Mentioned We are currently working with Lori Reising and are grateful for the impact her work is having on our journey.
