Soulfull Sound Podcast

In this episode of the SOULFULL SOUND Podcast, I'm joined by Sol Smith, author of The ADHDer's Guide to Self-Discovery and The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery. A certified autism specialist who is autistic, dyslexic and living with ADHD, Sol spent more than two decades as a college professor before dedicating his work to helping autistic and ADHD adults thrive. Together, we explore what ADHD can look like beyond the familiar stereotypes, why so many adults are only recognising it later in life, and how masking, people-pleasing and trying to meet neurotypical expectations can take a significant toll. Sol explains how dopamine, novelty and motivation can influence the way ADHDers approach tasks, why procrastination can become a coping mechanism, and why the strategies that work for one person may not work for another. We also explore the difference between seeing ADHD as a disorder or a superpower, the importance of recognising neurodivergence as part of identity, and what it means to unmask and build a life around the way your brain actually works. One of the most powerful threads running through this conversation is the possibility of releasing shame and self-judgment. Rather than constantly trying to fit a predetermined mould, what might change if we understood our own needs, played to our strengths and created more supportive ways of living? We also venture into the relationship between neurodivergence and intuition, the value of intrinsic motivation, and Sol's perspective on creating a personally meaningful life in a world that can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we explore: - What ADHD is — and why its name can be misleading- Why ADHD can go unrecognised in adults, particularly women and marginalised groups- Late diagnosis, self-identification and self-trust- Dopamine, novelty, procrastination and hyperfocus- Masking, exhaustion and the process of unmasking- ADHD as identity, rather than something to overcome- The limitations of describing ADHD as a superpower- Why monetising a passion can sometimes take away its joy- Working with your strengths and accepting the support you need- Neurodivergence, intuition and reconnecting with the body- Finding meaning and defining success on your own terms Whether you have an ADHD or autism diagnosis, suspect you may be neurodivergent, or simply want to better understand the people around you, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of identity, difference and self-discovery.

What if music could help you feel what you haven't been able to put into words — and bring you back to parts of yourself you've lost touch with? In this episode, I'm joined by Layla Minoui, an award-nominated film and television composer whose work spans DreamWorks, Disney, Netflix and beyond. After nearly two decades composing music to tell other people's stories, Layla began creating music that told her own — a deeply personal journey shaped by her experience with cancer and her relationship with sound, creativity and healing. Layla shares how improvising at the piano helped her move through feelings she had struggled to express, including grief, anger and the experience of being in survival mode. Rather than trying to fix her circumstances, music gave her a space to feel what was there and change her relationship with what she was experiencing. We explore the moment that shifted her perspective on life, when a difficult medical appointment led her to recognise the choice she still had in how she met the unknown. Spending time with her young son reminded her of the wonder, curiosity, play and presence that can so easily become buried beneath the pursuit of the next achievement. We also explore intuition and embodied wisdom, the difference between understanding something intellectually and truly embodying it, and the importance of meeting ourselves with curiosity rather than judgement. Layla reflects on her project *Journey to Rebirth*, the meaning of rebirth as a return to our authentic selves, and her desire to create immersive musical spaces where people can slow down and reconnect with themselves. This is a conversation about music, resilience, self-trust and the ongoing journey of coming home to who we are. **In this episode, we explore:** * How music can express what words cannot* Growing up between cultures and finding a sense of belonging through music* Moving from composing other people's stories to telling her own* Using improvisation to make space for difficult emotions* Navigating cancer, uncertainty and the power of choice* Why healing is a continuous unfolding rather than a destination* Learning to trust your intuition while remaining open to professional support* The difference between intellectual understanding and embodied change* Rebirth as remembrance and a return to the authentic self* Meeting ourselves and others with greater curiosity, compassion and presence If this conversation resonates with you, take a moment to notice: **What helps you come home to yourself?** TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Meet Layla Minoui01:02 – Growing Up Between Two Cultures04:12 – How Music Shaped Her Identity05:38 – From Film Composer to Personal Storytelling07:35 – Creating Music Through Her Cancer Journey09:28 – Rediscovering the Heart of Music12:32 – Trusting Your Own Creative Voice15:05 – Improvisation as a Pathway to Healing17:17 – Making Space for Difficult Emotions20:45 – The Moment That Changed Her Perspective22:17 – Rediscovering Wonder, Play & Presence25:51 – Why Healing Is a Continuous Unfolding30:07 – Intuition, the Body & Inner Knowing33:43 – Creating Space for Curiosity and Compassion35:27 – What Rebirth Really Means40:00 – Coming Home to Yourself55:51 – Meeting Yourself With Compassion58:15 – Journey to Rebirth & Its Wider Mission ABOUT LAYLA MINOUI Layla Minoui, is an award-nominated film and television composer whose work spans DreamWorks, Disney, Netflix, and beyond.

Aja Daashuur has been connecting with spirit since she was a child. She spent years terrified of it, then years pretending she wasn't. Today she's an internationally recognised medium, author of The Spirit Guide Portal, and founder of the CCCE Method — and she's one of the most grounded voices in this space you'll hear. In this episode of The Soulful Sound Podcast, Aja and I talk about what spirit guides actually are (and how they differ from passed loved ones), why almost everyone is asking for help without ever asking a guide who they are, and the simple daily exercise she uses to help people build their own language with spirit. We also go somewhere most conversations like this don't: the ethics. Consent. Boundaries. Protection. Pressing mute when you're walking through the world. What to do when you're receiving information about someone who never asked for it. And how to stay in a body while staying open. Aja shares what her clients have taught her about the human capacity to heal, the guide who stopped her mid-spiral with one word, and the four years she spent painting the portraits in The Spirit Guide Portal — because she wanted to give her guides the stage for once, instead of only asking them for answers.

What happens when your inner world begins to expand faster than you know how to integrate? In this episode of Soulfull Sound, I’m joined by Elizabeth Sabet, a psycho-spiritual coach, educator and practitioner who has spent more than two decades working with people navigating non-ordinary and spiritually transformative experiences. Elizabeth shares her own journey of experiencing energy and non-linear phenomena from childhood, growing up in a religious environment where these experiences weren't easily understood, and eventually finding herself asking deeper questions about consciousness, identity, meaning and reality. We explore the important distinction between spiritual emergence and spiritual emergency, and why grounding, psychological integration and appropriate professional support matter when someone is navigating profound experiences. Elizabeth also takes us inside her Spirit Path coaching model, which begins not by telling someone what their experience means, but by helping them reconnect with the truth and wholeness that already exists within them. We talk about: ✨ Spiritual emergence vs spiritual emergency✨ What happens when your reality begins to expand✨ Why grounding is essential during spiritual awakening✨ The importance of psychological and physical wellbeing✨ Connecting with your “inner teacher”✨ The Spirit Path coaching model✨ Learning to be with discomfort rather than immediately trying to fix it✨ How our values can be shaped by survival adaptations✨ Supporting children who may be experiencing things adults don't understand✨ Relationships and what happens when one person's worldview changes✨ Spiritual communities, discernment and the risk of exploitation✨ The importance of attunement for practitioners✨ What it really means to return to wholeness TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction01:15 – Elizabeth’s Journey Into Non-Ordinary Experiences04:00 – Finding Your Voice & Creating Space for Others08:20 – Sensing Energy & Learning to Trust What You Know14:35 – What Is Psycho-Spiritual Emergence?18:22 – Spiritual Emergence vs Emotional Crisis22:16 – Grounding, the Higher Self & the Inner Teacher26:17 – Guiding People Back to Their Own Truth33:16 – The Spirit Path & Returning to Wholeness40:00 – Spiritual Emergence vs Spiritual Emergency48:03 – Relationships, Acceptance & Staying True to Yourself55:34 – Discernment, Spiritual Communities & Practitioner Attunement01:03:07 – What Still Humbles Us About Being Human?

What happens when a scientist, physician and lifelong sceptic begins experiencing things she can't explain? In this fascinating and deeply thought-provoking conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Lotte Valentin—a naturopathic doctor, evidential psychic, medical intuitive, medium, ancestral healer, author and international speaker. Lotte's journey is anything but conventional. Born and raised in Sweden, she initially pursued business and computer science before eventually following her lifelong desire to become a healer. Along the way, she experienced profound illness, near-death experiences and a series of extraordinary intuitive experiences that challenged everything she thought she knew about reality. What makes her story particularly fascinating is that she didn't simply accept these experiences. She questioned them. She looked for evidence. She spent years seeking confirmation before learning to trust what she was experiencing. In this conversation, we explore the fascinating territory where science meets soul. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction02:34 The Woman Who Didn't Believe in the Spirit World03:06 Searching for Answers08:33 What Happens Outside the Body?09:27 The Experience of No Time10:33 A Life-Changing Illness13:00 The Near-Death Experience17:20 Meeting the Spirit Guides18:40 The Grid Around the Earth19:27 Learning to Trust the Spirit World23:15 The Calling to Become a Doctor25:33 Seeing Patients Before Meeting Them26:17 Hearing a Diagnosis29:04 Becoming a Medical Intuitive31:17 Mediumship & Spirit Guides36:33 The Superconscious & Intuitive Senses37:11 Can Trauma Be Passed Through Generations?46:12 Healing Yourself Changes the Field53:00 What Is Kindraya?55:00 Integrating Science, Soul & Ancestral Healing58:00 Learning Mediumship01:00:22 Fear of Psychic & Intuitive Experiences01:04:00 Near-Death Experiences & Creativity01:17:00 What Would You Tell Someone Exploring Intuition? One of the things I particularly appreciated about Lotte's story is that she doesn't present herself as someone who simply "believed." She needed confirmation. She needed to test what she was experiencing. And over time, those experiences changed her relationship with what she considered possible. Perhaps that's an invitation for all of us. Not necessarily to believe everything. But to stay curious. To question. To listen. And to remain open to the possibility that there may be dimensions of human experience that science hasn't yet fully explained. What if your intuition is not something you need to learn—but something you need to remember how to trust? ABOUT DR LOTTE VALENTIN Dr. Lotte Valentin is a naturopathic doctor, evidential psychic, medical intuitive, medium, ancestral healer, author and international speaker. Her work brings together her medical background with spiritual and intuitive practices, including mediumship, ancestral healing and medical intuition.

What happens when life changes you so profoundly that you can no longer return to the person you were before? In this deeply moving conversation on the Soulfull Sound Podcast, I’m joined by author, entrepreneur and creative storyteller Rohini Moradi, whose book Tapping Into the Akasha explores intuition, consciousness and the unseen connections that shape our lives. Rohini shares the extraordinary journey that led her to this work—from growing up immersed in spirituality in the only Hindu temple in Tehran, to immigrating to America, learning to hide parts of herself in order to belong, and eventually experiencing a devastating loss that changed the course of her life. She describes grief as turning her into a “puddle” from which she had to form herself again. Yet within that rebuilding came an unexpected invitation: to release the masks, identities and expectations that were never truly hers. Our conversation then takes us deep into the world of the Akasha and Akashic Records, challenging some of the popular ideas surrounding them and exploring a much more grounded question: What if this wisdom isn’t somewhere outside of us at all? Her message is beautifully simple: Trust yourself. There has only ever been one of you, and there will only ever be one of you. Perhaps the invitation is to stop trying to become someone else and begin living fully as yourself. If you’re curious about Akashic Records, intuition, consciousness, grief, spirituality, creativity or developing greater trust in your own inner knowing, I hope this conversation opens something beautiful for you.

What if preparing for death was actually the key to living more fully? In this profound conversation, I sit down with RamDev Dale Borglum, founder of the Living/Dying Project and author of How to Live So You Can Die Without Fear. After spending decades supporting people at the end of life, Dale shares the extraordinary lessons that dying has taught him about love, presence, forgiveness, grief, compassion, and what it truly means to be alive. Together we explore why so many people reach the end of life wishing they had forgiven more, loved more deeply, and spent less time living from fear. Dale introduces his practical five-stage healing paradigm, explains why embodiment is essential for spiritual practice, and offers beautiful insights into how we can meet life's inevitable endings with greater peace. Whether you're supporting someone through grief, navigating your own fears, or simply wanting to live with greater purpose, this conversation offers wisdom that has the power to transform how you see both life and death.

What if the greatest source of suffering isn't what happens to us—but the stories we tell ourselves about what happens? In this profound conversation, I sit down with Dr. Richard Moss—former physician, teacher of presence, consciousness, and radical aliveness, and author of The Mandala of Being. Following a spontaneous spiritual awakening nearly 50 years ago, Richard devoted his life to helping people understand the nature of awareness, the power of the present moment, and how our relationship with our own minds shapes every experience we have. Together we explore: • Why we spend so little time in the present moment• How our thoughts create emotional suffering• The difference between feelings and emotions• Why fear keeps us trapped in stories• The wisdom behind The Mandala of Being• How to return to presence in everyday life• Living from love rather than fear• Coming home to yourself If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your thoughts, stuck in the past, anxious about the future, or simply longing for a deeper sense of peace, this conversation offers practical wisdom alongside profound spiritual insight.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is introducing millions of people to one of the greatest stories ever told—but what if its greatest lessons are not just mythology but everything to do with your own life? In this powerful conversation, bestselling author, filmmaker, and mythologist Phil Cousineau explores the timeless wisdom of Homer's Odyssey, revealing why this 3,000-year-old epic continues to shape how we understand purpose, resilience, storytelling, identity, trauma, and what it truly means to come home.

What if burnout isn't actually the problem? What if it's simply the symptom of a life that's become disconnected from who you truly are? In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with career coach, holistic healer and author Mandy Tang to explore the deeper patterns that shape our careers, our ambitions, and ultimately our wellbeing. Drawing on her own experience of corporate success, entrepreneurship, burnout and rebuilding her life from the inside out, Mandy shares why so many high achievers quietly struggle beneath the surface—and why healing our relationship with work begins long before we enter the workplace. Together we explore: • Why burnout is often a symptom of misalignment• The hidden cost of people pleasing• How childhood patterns show up in our careers• Why high achievers often struggle to ask for help• The relationship between self-worth and career success• How to recognise when your work no longer reflects who you are• The courage it takes to trust your inner voice• Building sustainable success instead of constant hustle Whether you're navigating burnout, questioning your career, building a business, or simply longing for more meaning in your work, this conversation offers practical wisdom alongside compassionate reflection.
