In this episode of Soul Decodes, Tia Jolie Philips and Sarah Tirri open the conversation with the concept of “crushing it," which is defined as living in alignment with one's soul awareness, and managing the ego-mind. The importance of ensuring one is not locked into thought-forms we have not chosen is highlighted. The discussion continues with regards to the practice of meditation, along with a discussion on balancing analytical and creative thought processes.

Personal stories from Sarah’s life include a spiritual awakening that occurred when she was thirty-three. She then recounts a childhood experience that fostered a love of reading which became indispensable to her with regards to her career as a writer.

Meditation techniques and the interplay between left-brain (analytical) and right-brain (creative) thinking are examined, noting their impact on personal growth and societal balance. Tia Jolie discusses indigenous practices that emphasize community care and holistic development, advocating for nurturing the inner self to address personal and societal challenges.

As well as her books regarding the nature of this reality and our place therein, Sarah is an author of a series of children’s picture books, titled Travis the Tent and an associated Writing Contest. The discussion brings to life the necessity of making available children's books that teach the significance of meditation and mindfulness from an early age. It is understood that children taught early have a better chance of ‘managing their minds’ so as an adult, they are better able to manifest a life of their choosing, rather than having to ‘put up’ with a life that ‘just happened’.

Tia Jolie and Sarah continue to explore the importance of mindfulness, particularly the vital neccessity of controlling thoughts to manifest desired realities. It is noted that stress is often self-induced rather than a result of external factors, with stress responses affecting physical health. The discussion reveals how chronic stress can impair health and emphasizes strategies which aid one in controlling one’s mind.

Sarah reflects on an early childhood experience of ‘direct awareness’ and the journey of how she learned to tackle the problem regarding the debilitating onslaught of mental noise. Sarah’s recent publication; a journal and book titled The Mirror World is mentioned, which, in forty minutes provides a fresh new way of perceiving ‘reality’ with guidance on managing the mind in order to fulfil ones Lifeplan.

Tia Jolie emphasizes the relationship between diet and neurological health and elucidates the differences in male and female brain development, highlighting how boys develop neuronal efficiency through repetitive actions while girls process information more slowly due to a higher content of gray matter. She underscores the importance of balancing information processing with decision-making capabilities for effective action.

Tia Jolie draws of her extensive holistic training and discusses Neuroplasticity - noting that creating new neural pathways through novel experiences can combat cognitive decline. The significance of novelty in stimulating brain health is highlighted, encouraging individuals to engage in new activities and break routines to maintain mental harmony and well-being.

The episode concludes with a promotion for PURE, a wellness company offering health products and affiliate monetization opportunities for content creators.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Soul Decodes, Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri hope to inspire listeners to fully embody gratitude not just during Thanksgiving but as a daily-waking practice. The assertion being that the quality of one’s ‘external manifestations’ are of a tangibly higher caliber if one mindfully cultivates gratitude with the aim of creating a healthy mind. (Her book, The Mirror World discusses this phenomenon.)

The women discuss Thanksgiving’s cultural significance in the U.S. versus the U.K. Sarah notes that Thanksgiving was absent in British culture and her gradual appreciation of its spirit only occurred after she immigrated to America.

Tia Jolie expresses skepticism about the historical origin of Thanksgiving, suggesting that this treasured narrative might not be factually accurate. Amidst this, Sarah humorously gifts Tia Jolie a book she brought back from her recent trip to England titled Forbidden History which supports the skepticism previously expressed about Thanksgiving's touted beginnings.

Tia Jolie classifies her stance of being a truth seeker (truther) asserting the need for a collaborative human effort to cobble together a more comprehensive picture of what has actually occurred on planet Earth: This she asserts is a essential pursuit that will help safeguard past mistakes from being duplicated whilst putting the heat on ‘future government imperatives’ to be of a better quality so that “We the People’ are treated more favorably.

The conversation again turns to spirituality, emphasizing that individuals should embrace whichever belief system resonates with them but are urged to value ‘outcomes’ as the decisive factor of the validity of one's beliefs.

The value of challenging belief systems is further explored with Sarah referencing her provocative book; Is This the Best God Could Do? which challenges the validity of a monotheistic God. The conversation highlights how the very act of ‘questioning’ goes a long way to fostering clarity and the building of a personal belief system that is more able to resonate authentically. Sarah quotes Emerson’s, “Every banned book enlightens the world.” which suggests that suppressed ideas often illuminate truths.

Tia Jolie talks about how physical challenges, such as recovering from injuries and adapting to change, are opportunities for growth and resilience. She is thankful for the rigorous process she is undertaking to mend a hip, and is thankful that this road towards healing is available to her.

Tia Jolie recounts memories of her childhood festivities in Detroit, including attending the Thanksgiving Day Parade, with her Ukrainian and Macedonian heritage influencing their family’s yummy holiday foods. Cultural traditions are further reflected on, particularly ethnic festivals and their role in fostering community unity. Tia Jolie expresses a desire for a return to such celebrations, emphasizing the importance of celebrating differences rather than being persuaded to kowtow to uniformity.

The women conclude the show by pivoting back to the prized idea that thankfulness is an essential spiritual practice that promotes happiness and well-being, with Tia Jolie sharing her personal goal to reach 100 years of age - leaping and bounding as she goes.
