    Ep. 135: Embodied with Janel Apps Ramsey
    Mar 30 2026
    We loved this conversation with Janel Apps Ramsey, Co-Director of Brew Theology, Doctoral student, climate justice advocate, and a vulnerable leader who is learning how to own her body and live into it--no small task in this world and the systems that want us to be small, disembodied, and compliant. We could feel this conversation in our bodies and hope that you find what you need out of it, too! More on Janel's work at brewtheology.org

  • Ep. 131: War and our Dream for Better Leaders

    Ep. 131: War and our Dream for Better Leaders
    Mar 2 2026
    It's been a tough weekend, friends, with US and Israel waging war on Iran. We dream for better leadership. We dream of circles of connection and wisdom not towers of unhealthy power and destructive practices. We dream for a more just society not just for ourselves but for our future. Strap in, this one's raw, but that's what Soul + Practice is all about--raw conversations and real practices. Let's keep practicing together.

  • Ep. 130: Holding the Hard with BJ Skoog

    Ep. 130: Holding the Hard with BJ Skoog
    Feb 23 2026
    After we finished recording our last episode Phyllis and Kathy talked to BJ Skoog or a bit and we realized we wanted to process more about how all of this has affected spirituality and relationships, too. That's where we went in this second episode, recorded a week later from Minnesota an Denver, navigating what happens when we have such divergent values with people we once deeply connected to and how to wrestle with the pain and dissonance of this reality.

  • Ep. 129: On the Ground from Minnesota & the Power of Community Connections with BJ Skoog

    Ep. 129: On the Ground from Minnesota & the Power of Community Connections with BJ Skoog
    Feb 16 2026
    Oh, we feel so grateful for this conversation with BJ Skoog, a long-time friend of Phyllis and a person of hope in these hard times. BJ founded the Richfield Leadership Network in Minneapolis, which is dedicated to strengthening community connectedness. The power of these relationships are being illuminated so strongly in the current situation with ICE occupation in their city and the reality of what's needed to care for their most vulnerable neighbors. We felt so inspired and also reminded of how important it is to stay healthy and resourced for the amount of trauma communities are experiencing together.
