Today, I'm thrilled to introduce a dear friend of mine. His name is Ehssan Sakhaee , and through his teachings, he paints a vivid picture of the power of presence, the gift of gratitude, and the journey to truly understanding humanity in this ever-evolving world.

Ehssan is an engineer by trade. On the surface, engineering may not seem to blend with the softer skills of human connection or spirituality. But for Ehssan, who also walks the path of meditation and mindfulness, it's this unexpected space in between that fuels both his purpose and passion.

Diving deeper into Ehssan background—he's been a notable presence at the University of Sydney, UCLA Extension, and Osaka University, educating students on leadership, innovation, and sustainability for almost a decade. His ventures span from the tech startup, UpskillEQ, which centers on gauging soft skill development, to the impactful Inspirational Management Australia, championing evidence-backed personal and leadership growth.

What truly sets Ehssan apart is his distinct approach to leadership—one that marries the precision of science with the depth of the soul. His programs aren't just educational; they're holistic and transformative, with an intention to supercharge the future of leadership.

Today's conversation will take us on a journey across the bridge connecting Eshaan's diverse professional worlds.

• We’ll delve into the echoes of growing up in a country scarred by war.
• Unravel the threads linking sustainability and spirituality.
• Submerge into the art of cultivating presence in our daily existence, and why this underscores every other spiritual practice.
• Understand why forgiveness isn't just an act, but a daily ritual.

Now, for any fans of "The Voice Australia", you might have been pleasantly surprised to see, for the first time ever, a sound healer and voice activation extraordinaire grace the stage. In fact, she even gave Rita Ora, a global pop superstar and judge on "The Voice", an onstage sound healing!

Her name is Ali Skiba and a few weeks ago, I had the honour of having Ali in the studio to share with us the ins and outs of her personal transformation and journey of soul discovery.

See Ali, like so many of us had found herself in a “successful” life but one that in many ways lacked the soul significance that she craved. Eventually, she made the decision to leave her hometown of San Francisco behind embarking on a transformative journey across 16 countries and 5 continents, delving deep into a myriad of healing modalities.

It was in breath work that Ali found her sanctuary, alongside learning to harness the innate power of her own voice and the therapeutic potential of sound. Today, as a practitioner of breath work, sound healing, and voice activation, Ali channels her experiences to guide others back to their innate healing abilities, advocating for self-awareness and the belief that we are all our own best healers.

Over the course of today's conversation:

• What it takes to transition from a high-stress tech role to a life truly aligned with one's soul.
• Together, we delve into the intricacies of breath work, sound healing, and the transformative power of the voice as a conduit for soul activation.
• Ali educates us on the profound connection between sound and the human energy field, articulating spirituality in a tangible way, anchored in science as the bedrock to demystify what's often perceived as esoteric.
• We discuss ways individuals can harness their innate healing powers.
• Ali also shares her insights on the challenges and rewards of being a "soulpreneur" in the modern age, emphasising the importance of authenticity, purpose-driven action, and continuous learning.

And we have saved the best for last, because Ali recorded for us a magical sound healing which assuming you are not driving - is a truly beautiful way to integrate the learnings from the soul aligned and divine journey into the sounds of the soul.

Ali, will also have this sound healing available as a separate download available on her website…so follow Ali on instagram (@melodiousyogi) where you can watch out for that. So, let's dive in. Welcome to the podcast.

“Surrender is when you say, I'm going to participate with this experience fully, learn what I can, get curious about it, allow life to show me and trust that the universe is working out something better on my behalf and I'm going to like to play this fully right now” - Kute Blackson

Today's guest is Kute Blackson, and he is utterly unique in the world of human potential. He is a globally recognised inspirational speaker and transformational teacher. He is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, a select group of one hundred of the world’s foremost authorities in the personal development industry. Winner of the 2019 Unity New Thought Walden Award, Blackson is widely considered a next generation leader in the field of personal development. His mission is simple: To awaken and inspire people across the planet to access inner freedom, live authentically and fulfil their true life’s purpose.

Kute is also the author of The Magic Of Surrender. Kute believes that too often we limit our lives by putting conditions on them. We think things should go a certain way, and when they don't, we hold on to what isn't working, reinforcing what is causing us pain and affirming our lack of trust in the universe.

We set goals or have big dreams and then cling on to outcomes we want so tightly that we forget that the magic happens when we let go of the reins of control or when we go through difficult events in our lives, and we struggle to let go of pain, resentment, or belief systems that are limiting our ability to invite new potential into our lives.

The answer is clearly to surrender and let go... and yet so many of us struggle to do just that - because while surrender might be a spiritual buzz word, the ability to do it, is like a muscle that requires a committed and dedicated devotional practice.

Today, Kute and I explore these themes and so much more.

• We discuss why surrender is a verb and one that takes an enormous amount of courage.
• We unpack the way the ego (and the programming that defines the ego) likes us to stay in control and be in charge, as opposed to trusting and surrendering to a more soulful perspective of our life where we can hand over 'that control' to a greater power.
• We look at the nature of surrender in relation to grief and suffering.
• We look at why surrender is the single most powerful way to transform our perspectives and supercharge our purpose - not because we have hustled harder, but because we mastered the art of letting it all go.

"Programming is an illusion. We've inherited it. We've received it through environmental conditioning. When we do the healing, when we do the soul work and we release that programming, we become more of who we truly are. We come back to our original vibration, and that's actually what it means to be a sovereign human in this world, to be free from the conditioning" - Sarah Mcgahan

One of things that I love about my life in general and my purpose as a podcaster is the ability to connect with extraordinary women —trailblazers who fearlessly challenge the norms and dare to question the status quo. They are women who embody their fullest potential, radiating divinity as they move with grace and ease, spreading joy with every waking step. If they were a colour they would be gold, and if they were a goddess they would surely be Lakshmi.

Today we are not only talking to one of those women, we are talking to the boss lady! Her name is Sarah Mcgahan and her mission is to activate receptivity, abundance and money for any women willing to heal themselves in order to awaken their sovereignty.

Sarah Mcgahan is an Intuitive Energy Healer, Channel, Writer & self-proclaimed dog-whisperer for women devoted to living extraordinary lives. She enables and trains successful women in business to clear the energetic junk getting in the way of what they truly desire so they can experience more joy, wealth, love and success, now.

Through her 1:1 practice and group healing programs, she has helped thousands of women create the kind of life their soul has always desired. And today, she is going to share tips, tools, insights and wisdom with regards to how.
