In this episode of Soul Decodes, Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri discuss the impact of Hurricane Milton. They share humorous anecdotes about living without power and Sarah's cleanup efforts, before celebrating their young podcast's worldwide reach, with listeners in countries like India and Bangladesh.

Tia Jolie recounts a recent face-to-face with an irate New York attorney. As the veins in the New Yorker’s neck begin to protrude, Tia Jolie recounts his reference to her recent Studio 17 Broadcast where a forensic historian addresses discrepancies in the official narrative of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. The New Yorker gets even more frustrated as he struggles to accept the idea that the government might have outright lied. Sarah laughs as Tia Jolie uses martial arts as a metaphor when discussing the value of remaining calm in confrontational situations! Sarah shares that the populace likely experiences a similar deep-seated insecurity when faced with the idea that their trusted government might have lied to them.

Tia Jolie shares the vital importance of questioning established narratives, and again highlights the challenges of discussing controversial ideas, referring to the fraudulent mainstream narratives that exist, particularly around contentious topics like 9/11 and the Elections. The women discuss the concept of ‘media manipulation’, with reference given to the BBC's reporting of Building 7's collapse prior to it actually happening. Tia Jolie asserts, and Sarah agrees, that America’s elected officials should be viewed as ‘public servants’ NOT ‘leaders’. Sarah discusses how one can easily feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of contradictory narratives and conspiracy theories.

The dialogue touches on the American Constitution, with Tia Jolie reassuring all that should changes be needed, there exists a proper mechanism for change and that it is unnecessary to disregard the document entirely.

The conversation turns to the manipulation of governments and economies by world power players, and a future where individuals may be closely monitored. She critiques Klaus Schwab's vision of a future where people “own nothing” and “will be happy about it.” Both women view this as a disturbing form of control and advocate for personal freedom and critical thinking in the face of potential tyranny.

The dialogue further explores the importance of individual responsibility, personal growth, and maintaining freedom in the face of change. The women discuss societal changes, and societal control, such as the rise of ’15-minute cities’ where everything is digitized and centrally controlled. Tia Jolie criticizes the push for convenience, declaring that true freedom and success require hard work and are inherently inconvenient!

Both women offer their closing perspectives with Sarah advocating the need for listeners to mentally dis-identify from the media hype in order to maintain inner peace. She promotes the highly-evolved spiritual idea that ‘outer reality’ is a reflection of a soul’s inner state, advising listeners to therefore avoid the unfortunate predicament of ‘allowing’ a low-grade inner state to get a foothold.

Tia Jolie stresses the importance of protecting free speech and the need for balance between personal rights and societal responsibilities, underscoring everyone's right to freely express their opinions without any threat of punitive measures or retribution.

Tia Jolie, a bass player and musician, initially reflects on her experiences in music, highlighting the physical demands of the role and the influence of notable musicians. She emphasizes that playing music for long hours is physically demanding, akin to a workout, and describes her journey of learning iconic bass lines from the '70s and '80s, which significantly improved her skills.

Tia Jolie recounts a poignant moment where a saxophonist, who had played alongside Leland Sklar, praised her bass playing style. This acknowledgment was emotionally impactful for Tia Jolie who had transitioned from being a novice to playing in a Phil Collins tribute band.

Tia Jolie then discusses the challenges that arose within her former band due to the lead singer's reluctance to accept feedback regarding his ‘average singing ability’. The lead singer’s resistance to honest and careful feedback and efforts to help him improve were keenly felt by all the band members as they prepared for upcoming gigs in Las Vegas. This culminated dramatically in the lead singer firing Tia Jolie just one week before their Vegas shows, leaving her initially surprised but ultimately relieved. Despite the lead singer's ego and refusal to accept constructive criticism, Tia Jolie had support from her fellow band members who shared concerns about the lead singer's behavior too!

Tia Jolie goes on to talk about how the hired bass player did a good job on stage in Vegas, but the lead singer's ego had negatively affected the band's overall performance. Despite initial excitement, the performances were disastrous, leading to stress and the potential firing of the entire band after their first show in Laughlin.

The conversation pivots to the lead singer's history of failing bands due to his resistance to constructive criticism. The hosts reflect on their own journeys of learning to accept feedback and both acknowledge that the lead singer might need to undergo a significant personal transformation to succeed.

They continue to explore the concept of personal growth through hardship and acknowledge that sometimes the struggles faced are part of someone else's journey.

Tia Jolie recognizes that everyone has grown significantly through their musical experiences, becoming more skilled and confident, but also reflects on the tendency to stick with unfulfilling relationships longer than necessary. She mentions her ongoing connection with her other band members, who shared clips of the chaotic performances. Despite the turmoil, Tia Jolie feels a mix of sadness and peace as she processes the closure of this chapter in their life.

The hosts discuss Tia Jolie’s commitment to continue empowering others while maintaining healthy boundaries, and recognizing when to pull back if her assistance is no longer beneficial.

Amid the light-hearted banter, this episode features personal stories from aviation that highlight serious themes of responsibility and danger.

Another recounts a close call Sarah encountered as a student pilot while practicing maneuvers over the Everglades.

Both stories serve as cautionary tales about the balance between technical skill and personal responsibility in high-risk situations.

The conversation then shifts into a philosophical exploration of truth and belief systems.

The conversation then brings to light more diverse approaches to spirituality, showing how people can embrace spiritual practices without the necessity of adhering to a belief in a higher reality.

Tia Jolie addresses the concept of darkness and light, with both hosts rejecting the idea of a literal devil, emphasizing instead the need to take personal responsibility for one's actions, rather than attributing them to external forces that God is not in control of. This part of the discussion explores how darkness and evil are often personified, but can be understood as merely the absence of light, love, or goodness.

From there, the hosts talk about creativity and resourcefulness, with stories of Tia Jolie overcoming challenges through innovation, especially during financial struggles she faced in her past. She shares examples of using ingenuity to solve problems, giving a nod to resourceful television character, MacGyver, and recounting how financial constraints led to creative solutions both in her former years and her current life on her farm.

In the latter part of the episode, the hosts discuss the pursuit of happiness and the importance of enjoying the journey of life rather than focusing solely on material success. Sarah emphasizes that while money can provide security and freedom, true happiness is found in being content with the process of life and monitoring what goes on in the mind, encouraging listeners to be mindful of the type of thoughts they are thinking. She encourages listeners to choose a higher state of being, regardless of external circumstances, which is not always easy.

In this podcast episode, the discussion between author Sarah Tirri and co-hostess Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips centers on a unique approach to emotional healing that emphasizes creating a sense of safety and connection through physical touch and emotional support. The method focuses on helping individuals deeply entrenched in emotional darkness, many of whom come in feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Through extended, intentional hugs, the goal is to channel the nurturing love of generations of mothers, establishing a heart-to-heart connection that provides profound healing. This hug not only offers physical comfort but also serves as a symbolic and emotional gesture, helping clients release their emotional burdens.

The process goes beyond simple physical contact, offering an energetic and emotional reset for those struggling to feel grounded and loved. Visualizing clients as vulnerable infants enveloped in ancestral maternal love, the approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space for healing. This space allows clients to let go of the tension they've been carrying, often resulting in emotional breakthroughs. By the end of the session, many clients feel lighter, more connected to themselves, and transformed by the experience, demonstrating the deep impact of this method.

As the conversation progresses, attention is turned to broader issues like substance abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics, and the struggles of growing up in unstable environments. Reflecting on personal experiences, it’s noted how difficult it is to navigate trauma without awareness or tools to understand it. In childhood, many people lack a deeper purpose or understanding of their soul’s journey, which can leave them stuck in survival mode. The discussion emphasizes the importance of finding ways to decode and heal from these experiences, even though many, especially children, may not have the resources or awareness to do so on their own.

The significance of holistic approaches to healing is highlighted, particularly when trauma is deeply ingrained from a young age. The challenges of growing up in emotionally unstable environments are explored, where safety and support may be lacking. The method of extended hugs and channeling maternal love is presented as a powerful tool to address these emotional wounds, offering a pathway for individuals to release emotional burdens and reconnect with themselves.

Later in the conversation, the discussion expands on the long-term effects of growing up without emotional and physical nurturing. This healing method provides individuals with an opportunity to reconnect with a deep sense of safety that may have been missing in their upbringing. By offering emotional and physical grounding, the process helps clients begin to process trauma and move towards emotional recovery, even if they were previously unable to do so due to a lack of resources or tools.

The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to seek healing practices that provide both emotional and physical support, especially for those who have experienced trauma or disconnection. The message is one of hope, emphasizing that healing is possible, even for those deeply entrenched in emotional darkness. By using compassionate, nurturing methods, individuals can rediscover their sense of connection and begin to release the emotional burdens they've carried for so long.
