As a Soulful Leader you want your success to mean something. Professionally, you're flourishing. Personally, you're still searching. Deep inside you know there has to be more to life. Acknowledging that your outer world doesn’t align with your inner longings can feel scary and overwhelming. In a world where achievements and accolades motivate us to do more and be more, we’re often left wondering, “Is this really it?” Instead of sticking to the status quo, you’re ready to embrace a new way of being, thinking, feeling, and doing so you can fulfill the deeper life that’s calling you. We’re your hosts, Stephanie Allen and Maren Oslac. We’re both soulful leaders in our own right whose lives have been dedicated to living that 'something more'. We can’t wait to save you time and share the shortcuts we’ve uncovered. By tuning into the Soulful Leader Podcast you’ll discover that you don’t need to sacrifice to find meaning, success or true happiness. Instead, you’ll learn practical solutions infused with a healthy dose of woo for tapping into your Divine DNA. We’ll help you see that going inward is the secret. Each week we break down the barriers that will help you decrease your stress, find that fulfillment, and create the conditions so you can thrive in life.

That Challenge is Your Opportunity
As leaders, we're confronted by challenges on a daily basis.
We're also looking for opportunities.
What if the very opportunity you seek is seeking for you, and it’s showing up as a challenge in your life?
This is not how we’re taught to look at problems and challenges. We're taught to avoid them, stuff them, ignore them, plow through them or overcome them.
Stephanie and Maren discuss a challenge from Maren’s life - her ongoing saga with her landlord - and look at it from a radically different perspective allowing Maren to make space for possibility, which becomes a domino effect in her life.
If you are tired of fear and angst and constantly feeling the need to control every aspect of what's going on, this week’s podcast is for you! Ready to breathe easier? Tune in.

Beyond Imposter Syndrome
We are so quick to judge based on the surface, the external. We’re trained to choose jobs, houses and even our mates based on those surface, external metrics. It’s left us feeling isolated, as if we are not enough and needing to always do more. It’s taken a massive toll on us, both as individuals, and as a culture.
In today’s episode, Stephanie and Maren bluntly discuss all aspects of this surface, societal leaning and don’t pull any punches. From the impacts (Getting called to the ‘Show’, Matthew Perry’s recent passing) to helpful metaphors (Houses, Native teachings) to offering solutions (Questions, Internal Structures) they are passionately all in.
This is a great episode to share with a friend who needs to know s/he is not alone.

End the Forcing, Fixing and Figuring - Step into Radical Flow
Today’s podcast is very different. It introduces a radically different approach to life - from business to relationships to health and wellness.
What if you could live in flow with 100% absolute certainty that trustworthy guidance for what is next, how to achieve it and who to involve would always be there for you?
What if you never had to force, figure or fix another thing in your life?
Would you be willing to work on the skills necessary to make that a reality? To step into your personal Radical Flow?
Maren and Stephanie share an example of how they personally co-create their lives with spirit so that they are in flow - not forcing, figuring or fixing. Maren interviews Stephanie and together they go through several aspects of Stephanie’s life from the months of September and October that illustrate this different way of interacting with life, and what can be possible.
This is a new operating system with different tools and skills, a departure from the figuring and forcing model that dominates our world. It’s truly amazing what is possible when we step out of the world that has trained us - into a world of allowing, letting come and truly transcendent flow.
Stephanie and Maren have been studying this for decades and now they are sharing their tools and skills so that you, too, can be radically prepared, internally, to co-create an amazing future with life and spirit - and step into your ultimate flow state.

Serendipity, The Lost Art of Discovery
We think of serendipity as luck, chance,and things just happening by accident.
It’s not.
Serendipity is actually an art, it’s the art of being such a good detective that you can predict what is coming, the future before it’s happened, and be prepared.
In this week's podcast, Stephanie and Maren talk about this lost art and how to start developing these skills for yourself!

Your Soul Is Calling, Are You Too Busy
You wake up with a laundry list of things to get done, grab a cup of coffee and jump in. There’s no space to ask the BIG questions like, ‘is this what I’m on this planet to accomplish?’ or ‘Is this why I’m here?’ You’ve just got to get through the day.
What if we keep ourselves busy and distracted so that we feel important and don’t have to go any deeper?
What if society’s ‘chase’ game keeps us from the real meaning in our lives? Chase the next thing, the next accolade, the next accomplishment - and we keep chasing. The thing is, at some point, we get there. We achieve it all - only to realize none of it is what we were really seeking.
Do you want to find that out now? Or after years of chasing?
There is a shortcut.
In today’s passionate podcast, Maren and Stephanie show how listening to our soul’s calling and doing “what's ours to do” is actually the shortcut to fulfillment - and it’s not just finding your meaning, but you get to live it abundantly, joyfully and spaciously!
00:41 chasing the prize, busy with the next thing03:55 do all the work, or take the shortcut06:10 who is showing up?12:52 what worked in the past may not work in the future15:51 the one thing20:29 upgrading from the running thoughts and reacting27:11 from chaotic hot mess to guidance, graciousness and kindnessWhere are you passionate and feeling called in your life?

Questioning Control, Life Beyond the Reins
Control, where does it fit into our lives? Does it serve us? Or is it holding us back?
In this week’s podcast, Maren and Stephanie have an open conversation about control that will have you looking more deeply at these questions in your own life.
We’re taught that control is the answer to all of our problems. If we could just get control over our lives, our teams, our eating, our bodies, etc. Control as an ideal is pervasive, especially amongst leaders. Yet there is a place beyond control that speaks to us of freedom. How do we reach that, and where might it fit into our everyday experience? Is our penchant for control actually keeping us stuck?
Step out of the ordinary and explore these ‘control’ questions, the power of imagination, living outside of time - and more. This is the perfect podcast for this Halloween night where it’s said that the veils between the worlds are thinner and anything is possible!
