Questlove (The Roots, Summer of Soul) joins Soul Boom for a deep and vulnerable conversation about creativity, trauma, spirituality, and self-reinvention. He opens up about his struggles with imposter syndrome, the weight of generational trauma, and how the pandemic forced him to rebuild his internal life through breathwork, affirmations, and metaphysical practice. Rainn and Questlove explore the power of boredom, the necessity of soul, and how success without healing can be hollow.

Existentialism for the Modern Soul w/ Millennial Therapist Sara Kuburic
What if you’re not meant to find yourself, but to create yourself? In
this Soul Boom episode, existential psychotherapist and bestselling
author Sara Kuburic (It’s On Me) joins Rainn Wilson for a deep conversation about identity, self-loss, and the illusion of authenticity in the digital age. After diagnosing what makes The Office's Dwight Schrute so...unique, "The Millennial Therapist" (as she's known online) joins Rainn to explore how modern life disconnects us from our inner truth and how existentialism offers a path back to meaning through responsibility, embodiment, and deliberate choice. This is a soul-searching, perspective-shifting dialogue for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in someone else’s version of success.
