  • 410: Betsy Polatin on How to Release Your Hidden Trauma and Be Free

    410: Betsy Polatin on How to Release Your Hidden Trauma and Be Free
    Aug 13 2025
    “The system is geared for wellbeing. When given the right conditions, we naturally move toward it.” What if true healing isn’t found by reliving the past, but by reconnecting with the unshakable support that’s been holding you all along? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with internationally acclaimed movement and breathing specialist Betsy Polatin for a deeply transformative exploration of trauma, embodiment, and the body’s innate capacity to heal. Betsy, celebrated author of Humanual: An Epic Journey to Your Expanded Self, has spent decades guiding performers, musicians, actors, and everyday people toward greater freedom and ease. Drawing from the Alexander Technique, somatic education, and breath awareness, she reveals a life-changing truth: the body remembers what the mind forgets, and you don’t have to recall the story of your trauma to be free from it. We dive into how unprocessed experiences silently shape the way you breathe, move, and respond to life; why healthy anger is essential while stored rage keeps you stuck; and how subtle shifts in awareness can unlock decades of tension. Betsy also leads a simple but powerful grounding practice you can use anytime to feel the unwavering presence of support beneath you, even amid life’s storms. This is not just a conversation about trauma; it’s a reminder that your system is built for well-being. Transformation doesn’t have to be forced or dramatic. With the right awareness, your body knows exactly how to return to balance, release what no longer serves, and expand into a more grounded, spacious way of being. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by patterns you can’t explain or longed to feel more at home in your body, this episode offers both the understanding and the tools to begin that shift. Listen now and rediscover the grounded, unshakable self that has been within you all along.

    409: The Loneliness Of Being The Strong One: Learning How to Receive
    Aug 5 2025
    “Strength without allowing support often becomes self-abandonment.” Have you ever found yourself being the one everyone leans on, the strong one, the steady one, the one who always shows up? You’re the rock, the caretaker, the leader. But beneath the surface, there’s a quiet ache. A deep fatigue. A part of you is wondering, “When is it my turn to be held?” In this episode of Soul Talk, I open up about the hidden cost of strength. From my early years as the son of a healer and spiritual leader, to the emotional weight I carried as a child, I share how becoming the “strong one” became my identity, and how it nearly kept me from truly healing. We dive into the psychology of hyper-independence, the nervous system’s response to unmet childhood needs, and why so many of us find it easier to give than to receive. This episode is a wake-up call for the silent warriors, the ones who show up for everyone but struggle to let anyone show up for them. Tune into this episode and learn how to release the pressure to be everything for everyone, reconnect to your own needs, and open your heart to receiving the love and support you deserve. True strength isn’t about carrying it all alone. It’s about being human. Vulnerable. Seen. You were never meant to do this life by yourself, and you don’t have to anymore.

In this episode, you will learn about: Why constantly being the “strong one” can lead to hidden emotional exhaustionHow childhood roles and early emotional conditioning shape your ability to receive love and supportThe surprising ways hyper-independence is actually a coping mechanism rooted in traumaHow to recognize the unconscious beliefs that make asking for help feel unsafe or weakWhy receiving is not a weakness, but a courageous act of trust, vulnerability, and healingPractical ways to soften your defenses, open your heart, and invite support into your lifeHow allowing yourself to be supported transforms not only your relationships, but your entire capacity to thrive Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.comVisit my website: www.kuteblackson.com Resources with Kute Blackson:Kute’s Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.

    408: Mingyur Rinpoche on How To Turn Confusion Into Clarity: Unlocking The Secret To Happiness
    Jul 29 2025
    “Be with awareness. Let thought and emotion come and go. Don’t fight or follow. That’s how you find freedom.” What if true freedom isn’t about controlling your mind, but remembering the awareness that’s always been there? In today’s episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with beloved Tibetan meditation master and best-selling author Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche for a soul-stirring conversation on inner peace, joy, and transformation, even in the midst of life’s greatest storms. Born into a lineage of Tibetan masters, Mingyur Rinpoche has spent decades teaching the power of awareness and compassion. But it was during a near-death experience, alone, sick, and penniless on the streets of India, that he had a profound realization: beyond fear, beyond suffering, is a pure, unshakable presence we all carry inside. Together, we explore the real meaning of enlightenment, how to deal with fear, desire, and difficult emotions, and why your thoughts are not who you are. Rinpoche shares simple yet radical practices to help you access peace in everyday life, from letting go of the past to navigating addiction, conflict, and uncertainty. This episode is an invitation to return to your true nature. To live from the “inner sky” that remains untouched by life’s turbulence. And to remember that even in the darkest moments, you are never truly lost. Tune in and learn how to access lasting inner peace, transform emotional patterns, and reconnect with the unshakable awareness within you. Timestamps: (00:02:30) - Cultivating joy in times of global chaos(00:05:50) - How to start changing yourself(00:08:00) - What is awareness?(00:12:30) - Becoming free from thought and emotion(00:13:03) - Working with desire and addictive patterns(00:17:40) - Mingyur’s near-death experience and what he learned(00:24:30) - What is enlightenment, really?(00:26:00) - How to love what seems unlovable(00:33:30) - How Mingyur handles conflict with difficult people(00:34:40) - Making aligned decisions in life(00:36:30) - Karma, destiny, and how to change your future(00:38:15) - AI, consciousness, and the mind(00:40:30) - Final words of wisdom to help us stay grounded Some Questions I Ask: How do we find joy when the world feels like it’s falling apart?What’s the first step to changing ourselves when we feel justified in our pain?Are all desires bad, or can some be useful?How can we move beyond the fear of death?What does it really mean to be enlightened?How do we love people who hurt others?Is there such a thing as destiny, and how much control do we have? In This Episode You Will Learn: A powerful way to anchor yourself in peace, no matter what chaos surrounds you. How to connect with your true self through short, daily moments of awareness.The surprising truth about thoughts and emotions, and why they aren’t who you are.A mindful method for transforming addictive urges and unhealthy habits.Why enlightenment isn’t magical powers, but recognizing what’s already within you.A radical perspective on loving difficult people and seeing their basic goodness.How to reshape your destiny by what you choose in the present moment.
