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 learn more and order Language of the Soul: www.dominickdomingo.com/theseekerTo book a Speaking Engagement with Dominick: www.dominickdomingo.com/speakingThink you would be a great guest for our podcast; please submit a request at LOTS Guest Pitch Form.

    Beyond the Veil with Author Angela van Breemen

    In today's thought-provoking episode, we welcome novelist Angela van Breemen to explore where forensics meets the metaphysical, how reincarnation reframes justice, and how storytelling teaches us who we are. In Angela's latest crime novel, Revenge Is Not Enough, a psychic visitation leads to a séance that opens up a decades-old cold case. The investigation exposes an underground baby ring that is part of a much larger human trafficking network, sparking hard questions about human trafficking, gender identity, and our souls' unfinished business.   Angela van Breemen in 2024 she published Past Life's Revenge, the first book in the David Harris and Emma Jackson Mystery series. Her second book, Revenge is Not Enough, was released on November 4th. Her books are available in ebook, softcover and audio through Amazon. A poetry book is due out in early 2026. Angela is a member of the Crime Writers of Canada, Sisters in Crime, and the Writers Union of Canada. In 2024, she launched her debut album, In The Breeze and has three original pieces of music, based on her poetry. She lives in Loretto, Ontario, with her husband, Peter Thomas Pontsa, author of the Inspector William Fox Series.   We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

    Medicine, Aging, and the Myth of Dependence

    What if everything we believe about aging is wrong? What if the symptoms we chalk up to "getting older" are actually side effects of the medications prescribed to help us? This thought-provoking episode challenges the disempowering narratives we've accepted about health, aging, and our relationship with modern medicine. The conversation between Dominick and Virginia weaves together cutting-edge science on epigenetics with practical wisdom about self-advocacy in healthcare. They discuss how our thoughts, feelings, and environment influence gene expression, giving us far more control over our health outcomes than genetic determinism would suggest. The mind-body-spirit connection emerges as a powerful framework for understanding wellness beyond the purely physical realm. Whether you're navigating your own health journey, supporting loved ones through theirs, or simply questioning conventional wisdom about aging, this episode offers fresh perspectives on reclaiming your power in a system that often seems designed to diminish it.  We would love to hear from you!

    Trauma and Resilience

    The path through trauma often remains misunderstood, yet it represents one of humanity's most profound journeys. In this thought-provoking mini-episode, we delve into what trauma truly means beyond clinical definitions, exploring its spiritual significance and transformative potential. Drawing inspiration from thought leader Marianne Williamson's pragmatic tenets, we examine how our framing of difficult experiences determines their lasting impact more than the experiences themselves. Just as ducks shake off territorial disputes without dwelling on them, humans possess an innate capacity for resilience that's frequently overshadowed by our tendency to weave and retell stories. This isn't about dismissing clinical PTSD or genuine suffering, but rather recognizing that many of our lasting wounds are sustained by the stories we continue telling ourselves long after the original experience has passed.

    Civility in the Age of Divisiveness

    When three parties with different agendas collide, is it conflict or opportunity?  Civil discourse represents our best pathway through cultural divisiveness, requiring us to understand the emotional stories behind opposing viewpoints and find common ground, despite our differences. Tune in as host Dominick Domingo recounts a recent conflict that sparked this reflection on cultural divisiveness and the critical importance of civil discourse in our increasingly polarized world. What story are you telling? Are you contributing to divisiveness or building bridges? Listen now and discover how we can collectively craft a new narrative that honors our shared humanity, even amid profound disagreement.  We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

    POLITICAL VIOLENCE: How Hate Speech and Divisive Rhetoric Poison the Body Politic

    What happens when we disguise bigotry as opinion? In this watershed moment for American discourse, I felt compelled to address how dangerous rhetoric spreads through our society like a poison. Recording without my usual co-host, I reflect on the eerie timing of our recent episode about empathic reasoning—a conversation that became painfully relevant in light of political violence. This isn't about partisan politics but about recognizing the mechanics of how harmful narratives propagate and create climates that permit violence against marginalized communities. Speaking from my experience as a member of the LGBTQ community, I share two contrasting social media responses to recent events—one calling for civility across differences, another calling out religious hypocrisy. These divergent viewpoints frame my reading of excerpts from my book "Language of the Soul," where I detail how beliefs spread like contagion through casual conversations, media, education, and political propaganda. The historical thread is clear: from Matthew Shepard to the Pulse and Club Q shootings, divisive rhetoric has real-world consequences. When public figures reject empathy itself as "a made-up new age term," they deny something fundamental to our humanity—something anthropologists confirm is an instinct that serves our collective survival. This deeper conversation requires us to move beyond false equivalencies that normalize hate speech. Civil discourse with ideological opponents demands genuine understanding and empathic reasoning while still holding firm to core values of human dignity. Only by becoming conscious participants in our collective narrative can we write a new story that honors our shared humanity. Join me in this deeply personal exploration of how stories shape our reality and how we might find our way back to meaningful dialogue in a fractured world. We can get our hands in the clay—individually and collectively—to craft a more compassionate future. We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

    Empathic Reasoning with Speech Teach Jimmy Urbanovich

    What if story isn't just how we communicate, but fundamentally who we are? Communication Studies professor Jim Urbanovich joins us for a fascinating exploration of narrative as the very foundation of human connection and understanding.  "Story is not optional. It is essential," Jim explains, setting the tone for a conversation that weaves through decades of shared history, the power of metaphor, and the critical importance of civil discourse in our divided world. As a former pastor turned communication professor, Jim brings a unique perspective on how sharing our stories creates bridges across seemingly unbridgeable divides. Jim Urbanovich is currently a Communication Studies professor at Crafton Hills College in Redlands; he is a former pastor, a father of four, and a grandfather of two. He’s been married to his high school sweetheart (and regular Language of the Soul guest), René Urbanovich, for over forty years. Jim is the author of "Critical Thinking in the Age of Social Media" and formerly a blog titled, jimmysintension.com.  We would love to hear from you! Send US a text message.

    The Hero's Journey: Reclaiming Your Divine Essence

    What happens when the world breaks your heart and everything you thought you knew crumbles around you? In this deeply personal conversation, Dominick Domingo steps away from his hosting role to discuss mythic fiction novel "The Seeker" with his sister, humanities professor René Urbanovich. Their discussion unveils the powerful transformation story at the heart of this ancient myth-inspired tale set in Bronze Age Minoan culture. Inspired by Dominick's own brush with death during the pandemic, "The Seeker" follows Amitayus, a young man scouring the Greek isles for his missing mother, Dianora. Unbeknownst to him, she is a Goddess, rendering him a demigod unaware of his divine heritage. What begins as a physical journey becomes an internal odyssey of rediscovering one's true essence—a journey we all share. As René and Dominick explore the novel's themes, they reveal how the protagonist’s struggles with despair, disillusionment, futility and self-loathing mirror our own cycles of transformation.
