• 428: The Hidden Purpose in Your Pain: How Life Breaks You Open To Prepare You For Your Mission

  "Your pain wasn't sent to break you down. It was sent to break you through." Have you ever wondered why the people you loved the most walked away, why the path you trusted suddenly crumbled beneath your feet, or why life sometimes breaks your heart in ways you never saw coming?  In this episode of Soul Talk, I invite you into a profound exploration of one of life's greatest mysteries, the hidden purpose inside your pain. This conversation is a journey into the soul-level truth behind your heartbreaks, disappointments, delays, and breakdowns. Together, we peel back the layers of misunderstanding, resistance, and egoic fear that make you believe something is wrong when life falls apart… when in reality, something deeper is seeking to be born through you. You'll discover how pain is not a punishment but a sacred initiation, a divine preparation for the next level of your life. You'll learn how your soul uses challenges to awaken you, how heartbreak refines your compassion, and how the very experiences you've tried to avoid may be the exact ones shaping you into the person you were destined to become. This episode reveals how your pain prepares you for your purpose: How it softens you, strengthens you, expands you, and ultimately breaks you open in order to break you through. This is an invitation to trust the divine curriculum of your life, to recognize that every loss carries a hidden light, every setback conceals a lesson, and every wound contains the blueprint of your greatest service to the world. Listen to this episode and learn how to stop resisting the seasons of pain, so you can finally understand their meaning, receive their gifts, and rise into the purpose you were born to live.

• 426: Collete Baron-Reid on The Art of Manifesting: Why Letting Go Changes Everything

  "Your desire is an acorn with success built into it."  What if the universe wasn't something to command, but something to collaborate with, a living intelligence responding not to your wishes, but to your being? In this SoulTalk episode, I sit down with world-renowned intuitive, bestselling author, and spiritual teacher Colette Baron-Reid once again  to reveal the deeper, often misunderstood art of manifesting, not as a formula, but as a spiritual practice. Together we journey into what Colette calls the sacred partnership,  a dynamic relationship between your inner state and the quantum field. She shares vulnerable, soul-stirring stories from her own life: getting sober with nothing to her name, receiving unexpected miracles when she finally let go, and the painful collapse of her music dreams that revealed a deeper destiny. Colette explains why manifestation fails when we chase outcomes from fear, and why it opens when we align with who we are becoming. Why the universe isn't interested in our ego's timeline. Why forcing pushes blessings away. And why surrender is not passive, it is the most powerful action of all. Colette reveals her signature practice, the Circle Method, a deceptively simple yet profound drawing ritual that rewires the brain, shifts the nervous system, and activates synchronicity. Listen to this episode and learn how to manifest not by gripping tighter, but by partnering with the intelligence that already knows the path to your highest good. Timestamps:  (00:02:33) -  Clarification on Colette's 19 oracle decks & 8 books. (00:03:20) - Manifestation as co-creation vs willpower. (00:04:28) -  Colette's early spiritual roots and Unity Church teachings. (00:05:26) -  Why forcing "what you want" doesn't work. (00:07:27) -  The music dream, surrender, and learning divine timing. (00:11:38) -  Getting specific vs letting go of attachment. (00:14:19) -  Quantum field, the RAS, and why we rehearse reality. (00:17:10) -  How to manifest when you're broke. (00:19:06) -  The miracle of lasagna + tithing story. (00:21:00) -  Surrender as a practice. (00:23:17) -  Effort vs trust: the "Spirit of Your Business" concept. (00:26:12) -  Are there limits? Destiny vs free will. (00:29:37) -  Fame, self-worth & why some manifest stardom. (00:31:26) - The New York Times manifestation story. (00:33:17) - The Toronto condo: letting spirit choose better. (00:37:50) - Why attachment blocks miracles. (00:42:03) - What "quantum field" actually means. (00:46:34) - The Circle Gratitude Method: daily manifestation practice. (00:50:07) - Why you don't need to be hyper-specific. (00:52:53) - Receive bigger blessings by not limiting the universe. Some Questions I Ask: Why do we desire things that aren't ultimately meant for us? Can we manifest anything, or are some things destined? What role does effort play, and when does surrender matter more? How do you manifest money when you have none? Why does attachment create scarcity? What is the quantum field and how does it affect manifestation? In This Episode, You Will Learn:  The real science behind manifestation and how to apply it How to follow synchronicities and stop blocking your blessings. How to manifest without forcing, hustling, or burning out Why letting go magnetizes your desires faster. The Circle Gratitude Method, a daily drawing practice that rewires your brain.  How to align with divine timing instead of ego timing.  How beliefs, trauma, and early conditioning affect abundance. Why do you attract who you ARE, not what you want.

• 425: How To Break The Illusion Of Feeling Not Enough

  "Your enoughness is not determined by what you do." Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, how much you achieve, how hard you work… it still doesn't feel like enough? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I invite you into a deep exploration of one of the greatest illusions we carry as human beings, the lie that says, "I am not enough." This conversation is a journey back to the truth of who you are. Together, we peel back the layers of childhood conditioning, emotional survival patterns, and unconscious programming that convinced you that your worth was something you had to earn, hustle for, or prove. You'll discover how this lie hides behind perfectionism, over-giving, success, achievement, and the constant push to be more, and how it subtly shapes your relationships, your choices, and even your destiny. This episode is an invitation to remember the essence of your being: the part of you that was never broken, never unworthy, never not enough. The part of you that is whole, perfect, and complete exactly as you are. Listen to this episode and learn how to finally dissolve the lie of not-enoughness so you can reclaim the truth of who you really are. Timestamps:  (00:00:54) -  What "not enoughness" looks like for high achievers (00:02:43) -  Perfectionism, overgiving & the hidden forms of unworthiness (00:04:03) -  You were not born feeling unworthy (00:05:12) -  How childhood conditions us to earn love (00:06:08) -  Kute's personal story growing up in his father's ministry (00:07:46) -  How identity forms around pleasing, proving, and performing (00:08:41) -  How culture and religion reinforce unworthiness (00:09:55) -  Sneaky ways "I'm not enough" hides in everyday life (00:10:26) -  Why success can't fix the inner void (00:11:20) -  Fact vs. story: the difference we must learn (00:12:48) -  Recognizing the cost of holding onto the lie (00:13:46) -  Step 1: Questioning the story you made up (00:14:55) -  Step 2: Reinterpreting childhood events (00:15:42) -  How to meet the inner voice with compassion (00:16:50) -  Healing through self-love and internal reframing (00:18:19) -  You were never not enough, reclaiming your true self (00:20:00) -  How the "not enough" identity becomes a form of control (00:21:47) -  Why letting go feels scary (00:22:40) -  Releasing the belief and grieving what was missing Some questions I ask:  Where did the voice saying "I'm not enough" first come from? Whose voice does your inner critic actually sound like? What events from childhood shaped how you interpreted your worth? What else could those events have meant besides "I'm not enough"? What would change in your life if you stopped believing this lie? How does holding onto "I'm not enough" give you a false sense of control? In this episode, you will learn about:  How love became confused with performance in childhood, and how that pattern still limits you today. The sneaky ways not-enoughness shows up in your relationships, boundaries, finances, and self-expression. How to trace this belief back to its origin and reinterpret the moment that shaped your identity. How childhood conditioning creates a "transactional relationship" with love. How to rewire your self-worth from the inside out. A powerful way to reconnect with the part of you that is untouched by trauma, infinitely worthy, and already whole.   Get in Touch: Email me at [email protected] Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com   Resources with Kute Blackson:   Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.

• 424: Barnet Bain on How To Be A Friend ( In An Unfriendly World )

  "You cannot be more of a friend to others than you are to yourself."   What if friendship wasn't meant to be effortless, but to make you more alive? What if every relationship, especially the most challenging ones, was a portal into your own expansion? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, to explore the sacred, often overlooked art of friending. Barnet reveals a radical truth: Most of us think we're good friends, until the relationship becomes inconvenient. Until someone changes. Until life asks us to grow. Together we dive into the real work of authentic connection, why unconditional love is often a myth we hide behind, how our unspoken emotional contracts quietly sabotage intimacy, and why true friendship requires a willingness to be changed by one another. Barnet shares tender personal stories, including a powerful moment with his daughter that shattered his self-image and awakened him to the unconscious conditions he had placed on love. Through his wisdom, we explore how friendship becomes a spiritual practice, a living crucible where our wounds, triggers, and projections are not obstacles but invitations. Listen to this episode and learn how to friend yourself, friend your wounds, friend your inner weather, and finally, friend others from a place of truth, not need. Timestamps:  (00:02:27) -  What inspired Barnet's new book on friendship (00:04:22) - A wake-up call: Barnet's daughter confronts him (00:08:52) - What is a friend?

Is unconditional love real, or a myth? Can we truly be friends with someone who is in a different "bandwidth"? How do we maintain friendships in a politically divided and polarized world? What does it look like to "friend yourself"? In This Episode, You Will Learn:  How to recognize the hidden contracts and expectations you bring into relationships  How to practice emotional maturity and presence in friendships How to build friendships based on equality, depth, and spiritual peer-ship How to navigate friendships across political or ideological differences How to cultivate long-term, intimate partnerships that grow with you Simple daily practices to help let go of friendships that have naturally dissolved How to start building connections even if you feel alone or disconnected  LINKS BARNET BAIN'S URL:    https://barnetbain.com Get in Touch: Email me at [email protected] Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com   Resources with Kute Blackson: Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible  Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.
