Molly shares her background in music, including her education at Carnegie Mellon and NYU, and her transition from performing to becoming a full-time voice teacher and now life and embodiment coach.    The discussion then explores Molly's discovery of the Ishtara moving meditation practice, which helped her reconnect with her body and emotions during a period of emotional heaviness, even as she was achieving her professional goals. Molly shares how this practice allowed her to honor her feelings and find a new direction in her work.   A key focus of the conversation is Molly's current voice work, which involves "authentic voice calls" - one-on-one sessions where clients sing on mute, exploring vibration and sound without worrying about technique or performance. Molly explains how she integrates coaching lessons into these voice experiences, helping clients drop rules and restrictions around self-expression. Not just for those who identify as "singers",  Molly emphasizes that anyone with a voice can use it for healing and self-discovery. She discusses techniques like the "song bath" to make voice exploration approachable for those who may not identify as singers.   The other major and impactful conversation is around letting go of one's dreams. Molly shares, incredibly vulnerably, her fertility journey, going into a dark time, and the process of surrendering.    Throughout the interview, Molly reflects on her own journey of rediscovering her love for singing, the role of surrender and self-love in her personal growth, and the impact of motherhood and loss on her development. She emphasizes the importance of self-nurturing and making space for one's needs, and the potential for future collaboration with the host.

The antidote to perfectionism and self-judgment How shadow work increases compassion for others (what the world needs right now!)   In this episode of the Soulful Ambition podcast, host Analisa Leaming explores the concept of shadow work, drawing on Carl Jung's theories and her personal experiences. She emphasizes the importance of consciously engaging with the parts of ourselves we typically avoid or dislike, rather than solely focusing on positive thinking or our ideal self-image. Analisa suggests personifying and getting to know our shadow aspects, similar to how we might embody our "main character energy" or ideal self. The podcast discusses two main practices for shadow work: noticing when we're in a shadow aspect and gently acknowledging it, and intentionally embodying and expressing the shadow aspect in a safe space. Analisa shares personal examples, including her "mother martyr" shadow aspect to illustrate how this work can be applied in daily life. She emphasizes that this work allows for more conscious choices and integration of all parts of ourselves. Throughout the episode, Analisa highlights how shadow work can increase self-compassion and understanding of others. She encourages listeners to apply these concepts to areas in their lives where they're experiencing resistance or struggling to achieve desired results.  The host concludes by mentioning that the upcoming Soulful Ambition Circle program will involve this type of shadow work as participants pursue their deepest desires, and emphasizes how this practice can lead to personal growth, better relationships, and a more authentic connection with our true selves.  Soulful Ambition is a show for big dreamers about choosing to live inside out & acting upon your deepest longings.

He discusses his background in advertising and marketing and how he felt a lack of alignment and fulfillment in his life. Asil talks about questioning the purpose of his existence and seeking a deeper connection to spirit and himself. He shares his experience of communicating with light beings and becoming a conduit for higher levels of consciousness. Analisa opens up about her own struggles with depression, lack of sleep, and a dark night of the soul. She shares the desire to shed the old way of doing things and the questioning of everything in her life.  Asil reassures her that she is not alone in her experiences and leads her into a powerful discovery of true presence.  The purpose of life is to awaken the true self, the soul, and to play different roles in the grand play of existence. Rather than vilifying or questioning past roles, we should see them as unique aspects of our journey. We have the power to change our roles and stories, as we are the writer, conductor, director, and actor of our own play. The awakening process begins with deep presence and alignment, allowing the energy of creation to flow through us. Service is not limited to external achievements, but starts with our presence and existence. When we align internally, everything else falls into place.

Many of these challenges stem from childhood experiences, evolving into traumatic events that shape adult life. While therapy and coaching offer pathways to recovery and healing, the natural world has an undeniable power to facilitate healing processes. With its calming and rejuvenating properties, nature often plays a pivotal role in restoring mental well-being.  He shares more about this from his latest book, where he documents an evidence-based account of his quest to heal from complex PTSD by turning to endangered coral reefs and psychedelic plants after traditional therapies failed—and his awakening to the need for us to heal the planet as well.

Welcome to Soulful Ambition, formerly known as A Balancing Act, Analisa's latest iteration of her work in the world.  Soulful Ambition explores what it means to live inside out and go after our deepest longings. Soulful Ambition might sound contradictory at first… Because we've let society define ambition as striving for individual success, monetary gain, and personal achievements.  But that's not what the soul really craves. In each episode, we're calling back the parts of ourselves conditioned to society's grind and external pressure. And awakening the longing in your chest that is so big it threatens to swallow you whole.  So you can shine unapologetically, source from within, and move towards your big, wild dreams. Not to become a manifesting babe/bro striving for individual success, but because your dreams are your destined path and the medicine that the world needs.  To learn more about Analisa and how you can work together: www.analisaleaming.com  IG: www.instagram.com/analisaleaming
