The Naked Soul Podcast

Episode 6: Overcoming Perfectionism

Welcome to episode six of the Naked Soul podcast, where we dive into the theme of perfectionism and its impact on our lives. We discuss how perfectionism can keep us stuck in procrastination, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight the struggles and the lessons learned. We also explore how perfectionism manifests in different areas of life, from entrepreneurship to daily tasks.
Join us as we uncover the roots of perfectionism, tracing it back to childhood experiences and societal expectations. We also explore how perfectionism intertwines with self-criticism and how it can prevent us from fully embracing our authentic selves. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we offer insights into understanding and working with the perfectionist part of ourselves.
Discover practical steps to recognize and challenge perfectionism, and learn how to redefine success on your own terms. Whether it's allowing yourself to rest when you need it or embracing the joy of imperfection in your creative endeavors, this episode is an invitation to let go of unrealistic standards and find freedom in your path and your authenticity.
We hope you enjoy!

Episode 5: What is God?

Welcome back to episode five of the Naked Soul podcast! Today we are going to be touching on a subject that we've gotten a few questions about, which is really what is God when we are referring to God in some of these episodes. 
Shawna shares her personal journey of understanding the term 'God,' recounting how she initially struggled with it due to a lack of exposure and understanding of the concept in childhood. She talks about her transformative experiences with meditation, spiritual books, specific healing practices and the profound impact of her brother's passing, which led her to form a personal relationship with God.
Laurie joins the conversation, sharing her perspective on God from her Roman Catholic upbringing to exploring other belief systems like Hinduism and Buddhism. She discusses how her understanding evolved to see God not as a judgmental figure but as an all-encompassing energy of love and intelligence.
The episode also explores concepts such as co-creation, manifestation, and the idea that we all possess divine intelligence within us. Both hosts share practical ways to start exploring a relationship with God, whether through Abraham Hicks' teachings, co-creative practices, or spiritual practices, which they describe.
We hope you enjoy!

Episode 4: Understanding the Ego Mind - Transforming Fear-Based Thinking to Soulful Living

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Naked Soul podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of the ego mind, often associated with fear-based thinking. If you struggle with negative thoughts, stress, overwhelm, or feelings of inadequacy, this episode is for you.
We begin by defining the ego mind, exploring its origins and discussing how the ego mind functions as a counterpart to our soul, bringing forward challenges and non-loving emotions that our soul is meant to overcome for growth. We discuss the importance of the ego in our physical existence and how it shapes our sense of identity but also the problems we can encounter when we live from and associate ourselves with the ego mind too strongly. 
Through candid conversations, we share insights on shifting from ego-based thinking to a more soul-centered approach. Learn practical techniques to quiet the ego mind, recognize limiting beliefs, and tune into the intuitive messages of your soul to help you live a more aligned, peaceful and empowered life and to better follow the path that is authentic to you.
We hope you enjoy!

Episode 2: What is The Purpose of Life? Understanding Soul Growth & Raising Consciousness

Welcome back to episode two of the Naked Soul podcast. Today, we are talking about the soul, soul growth, and the path of healing and raising consciousness. We explore the concepts of understanding your soul, your soul's purpose, the lessons we encounter in life, and how these lessons contribute to our growth. Laurie shares insights from her sessions with clients, explaining common questions about life purpose and causes of suffering. We discuss the idea of life as a school where challenges are lessons for soul growth, and the seven areas of soul growth: love, compassion, patience, gratitude, humility, joy, and sharing.
Additionally, we discuss the challenges faced in the third dimension of consciousness, such as overcoming negativity, the belief that sight is the dominant sense, and the perception of time. Shawna introduces the concept of the scale of consciousness and the four R's of healing: reflection, release, reprogramming, and receiving. We emphasize the importance of healing work and how it can lead to raising one's level of consciousness, soul growth and living a more fulfilling life.
Join us as we navigate these profound topics, offering tools and perspectives to help you understand your soul's journey and embrace the path of raising consciousness.
