Soulshine Hosted By Emily K. + Emily O.

In this episode we quickly focus on values and how they can help drive our decision-making and prioritizing. We get practical with time management, but we also try to go deeper about how to be mindfully self-driven when managing our time and energy.

It’s hard to actually listen and listen well. In this episode the hosts explore their own pitfalls and areas of growth with listening and the intentions, habits, and skills that they believe would lead to a world with better listeners.

…and we are (trying not to be) material girls. Amazon, takeout, buy-with-one-click, oh my! It’s a money-guzzling jungle out there. The hosts try to be honest with their materialistic ways in this episode while also exploring ways to stay grounded in the world of one-day shipping and our general confusion between wants and needs.

It’s hard to think in the middle when anxiety is so good at pushing us to far end of catastrophizing. In this episode, we discuss how to recognize all or nothing thinking and ways to get out of that unhelpful way of thinking.

One of our favorite millennial topics- therapy! But was it, actually? How do we know it’s working? What kind of therapist is Emily K? Listen to find out!

Welcome to season 4! It was delightful for the Emilys to be back together sharing ideas, weird to be talking separately due to covid, and so nice to be getting back in touch with what soulshine is all about.

Dear listeners, this season was produced during the pandemic. We thought it might be pretty hard but, we’re getting better at recording and we LOVE this podcast, so it was a joy to do. We’ll end with this– “everybody has a life, but not everybody knows how to live it.” Go, let your souls shine! … Continue reading Season 3 Finale! →

Ram was enlightened AF. The Emilys discuss his life after discovering meditation and spirituality. Ram said, “People don’t seem to know that they are soul. We pinch ourselves to know we’re alive in this life. The soul is in the heart level. That’s the entry point.” The hosts couldn’t agree more.

The episode that’s been talked about since season one! Emily O. has had a vision board since she was 20. Emily K. has seen it work with clients and has one herself.

Dancing is allowed but not required for this episode. The hosts come at this topic from different angles, but ultimately discuss the soul beneath all of the roles we play on a daily basis. What’s beneath the ego? What would be different if we thought more about nurturing our souls and less about, say, our … Continue reading Soul Train →

Guess what- most of us procrastinate. Motivation FOLLOWS action. We get real in this episode about what’s behind procrastination and what we can do about it.

In this week’s episode we talk about building trust in ourselves in our ability to handle uncertainty. Why do we so confidently say that we “hate uncertainty” when we handle so much of it successfully every day? We want to invite you to help us to change the narrative that the unknown sucks and we … Continue reading The Unknown →

In this episode we explore how to sift through all of the things we’re told will make us happy and get to the core mindset and habits that will support our own individual definition of “happy”. Emily K. introduces our listeners to the research of Sonja Lyubomirsky.

It’s how we think, act, dress, buy, relate…it’s everything! How can we become more purposeful in areas where we want to re-condition our beliefs or behaviors? In this episode, we explore how to think more critically about where our faulty beliefs stem from and how to go about changing them.

The Emilys discuss how to be more thoughtful of our energy, or our VIBES.

In this episode the Emilys discuss the topic of perceptions vs reality, which quickly becomes a conversation about assumptions. Assumptions are where we blur fact and story. We make them in a millisecond. What if we could get better at catching and challenging our auto-conclusions? The hosts delve into the wondrous workings of the brain … Continue reading You Know What They Say About Assumptions… →

This topic nearly stumps the Emilys because forgiveness is so hard to do. Forgiveness isn’t a weakness, it’s the strength to pull yourself from a negative state and opening yourself up to try again. In this episode everything from the benefits of being forgiving to Keanu Reeves is discussed.

In this episode we discuss our culture’s tendency to label unpleasant feelings as “bad”, which makes us resist them instead of process and hold them. News flash: unpleasant emotions are part of our contract with life. But the good news is that we can handle them better than we think we can. The Emilys explore … Continue reading BOO! Scary Emotions →

This week we discuss the interplay between screen time and feeling like we’re missing out. Americans spend the equivalent of a full-time job on their devices every week. We’re not missing out on what’s on the other side of the picture on social media, we’re missing out on what’s on the other side of the … Continue reading FOMO: False Observation of Missing Out →
