Soul Loveth w/ Shan

Hey Lovelies,  I hope your New year is calm and grounded. Those two words mean a lot in this current state of the world.  Tune in as I share some timeless reminders on how to keep your mind and life in check - in the midst of all the noise. Old tried and true principles seems cliche  and surface because they're trending all over the place, and your spirit has become numb to the message. But g...

Hey Lovelies, Whew… this one’s a little personal 😩 — I’m talking about how late-night scrolling completely threw off my sleep rhythm and why I finally deleted TikTok (and Facebook earlier this year). I’m keeping IG just for business and community connections, but honestly… I’m learning to power down for real. All those open mental apps we carry? It’s time to start closing a few.  New goal: no scr...

Hey Lovelies, Yesss, it's been a sec! but that's ok - that's the beautiful thing about life, we can take a break and begin again.... I really am intentional about practicing what I teach, If I need to unplug - or if I'm not "feeling it", I don't force it.  Back in April, as the seasons were changing, I felt the inner urge to change as well.  I put the podcast in...

Hey Lovelies, Sometimes the quiet things we love are doing the deepest work in us. In this episode of Soul Loveth with Shan , I’m sharing how picking up reading again — and choosing Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower — has been stirring something powerful in me. Butler’s words about preparation, resilience, and self-sufficiency feel like a mirror for the times we’re living through. This is a so...

Happy spring time beautiful people! It's been a while. I've been taking some time away to practice what I teach - pour into myself first and really stay in tune with not only what my soul loves - but also what it needs to stay sound and sane in this noisy world we're sharing right now. Yikes! In this episode I share some "soft" hobbies that has been really slowing me down...

As we wrap up 2024 and prepare to step into 2025, I’m sharing my personal ritual for closing out the year with intention: the 4 R’s—Relax, Reflect, Rejoice, Rest. In this final episode of the year, I offer a heartfelt recap of lessons learned and wins celebrated, while also inviting you to pause, realign, and refocus. This episode is part motivation, part reflection, and ends with a grounding medi...

Hey Lovlies!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! In this episode, I reflect on the Thanksgiving weekend and the ways I nurtured my passions— dancing , thrifting , and baking a brand-new dish.  I dive into the power of creativity as a form of spiritual warfare , exploring how it can combat stagnation, depression, and the pull to conform to redundancy. Creativity is our weapon for breakin...

Hey Lovelies! We’ve made it to the final episode of the Soul Seeds series, and it’s time to talk about Harvest Time. This is the moment where you get to see all the seeds you’ve been nurturing over the past few episodes start to bloom and bear fruit. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what inspired the creation of the Soul Seeds journey and the Soul Loveth initiative, and how it’s all led up to th...

Hey Lovelies ~ I hope you are doing well and not stressing yourselves out in preparation for this holiday season...   In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to be the Master Gardener of your life. Just like a garden needs care, protection, and tending to thrive, so do your Soul Seeds. It’s not enough to just plant them; we need to actively cultivate our inner ecosystems. This episode wil...

...We all hit a wall at some point. The world feels heavy, and it’s easy to just go through the motions without any real spark. In this episode, I’m diving into how we can break free from this autopilot state by returning to our Soul Seeds. Reconnecting with our gifts and purpose isn’t just about motivation; it’s about finding deep meaning again. It’s about getting back in tune with what makes you...

Hey Lovelies~ We're living in some intense times right now—feeling disconnected, uncertain, and maybe even overwhelmed. But the antidote to all of that is right within you. In this episode, we're tapping into Part 2 of the Soul Seeds that you’ve always had inside. These innate gifts, interests, and seeds of purpose are the key to navigating the chaos around us. In times like these, it’s...

Happy Sweet November Lovelies! It's been a while - so much has been going on with me this summer, that I had to step away from recoding for a while.  Im back now -- it's true like some of my fav artist, (one being Sade ) you have to actually live some life to have some real life experiences. So here I am - tune in tonight as I give some updates and insight on our Soul Loveth Wellness pro...

Hello Beautiful People... I must say this one is good good! I had to replay it a couple of times - and I'm sure I'll be led to revisit it again in the future. You know - we hear the word "authenticity" a lot lately, and most view it aestheticaaly or surface - not realize that it encompasses the core of who you are, and the audacity to "show up as you" in the a world t...

It's funny how doing the responsible things come off as "boring".   In this day and age - where moving and shaking, being "outside" at every event -living this YOLO life is what's celebrated and deemed sexy and cool. But we're grown ups here. Having your affairs in order, doing day to day things like watering your plants, praying, meditating - trying a new recipe...

Where did the time go? Why is time moving so fast? If only I had enough time... How often do you say these things?  Is time really moving faster or are we preoccupied with so "stuff" that time just passes up by? Tune in this week as I take about way to slow down time. Is that even possible? Absolutely! We have dominion over time -- you slow it down my doing a mental inventory of what&apo...

Ok... We've seen the tricks before.  It's election season - I feel the tension and fear mongering being turned up a notch.  Yes, the world has been a chaotic circus for a while now - but some how we've found a new normal way of dealing with shock and unpredictability of it all.  This week -- let's be mindful of our thoughts and emotions during this political cycle.  Observe, bu...

Hey Lovelies! It's been a minute... I haven't forgotten about the pod - but y'all know life be lifin'! We've really been focused on building the wellness program for at risk youth, it's been a year in the making, navigating the environment, working with the government, and still maintaining the salon and daily life needs. What I've learned since the pandemic is t...

Ahhhhh... Life is not about the absence of problems and situations.  Things happen. All of this self care and self love comes into play when we're able to apply God's grace and natural strategies to help us cope through the "stuff." We already know what to do - we just have to be intentional about the application. Tune in as we explore more. Blessings To support our initiative...

Happy New Year!! I know, y'all are like "girl, it's February . Hey, needed to take a much needed deep breath after last year, and Ease into 2024 refreshed and renewed! no pressure. How"s your New Year going so far? To support our initiative to cultivate authenticity to youth (whom the world deems "at risk" please visit www.soulloveth.com for more information about our...

Self Love looks different for each individual.  What feeds or soothes someone else's needs may not be the remedy for you.     We have to really push to honor our differences. Trying not to dismiss or discredit how you show up in the world because it looks different than someone else.   What works for you?  How do you present your self to the world?  What do you need to focused and balanced?  ...

In this world of "influence" and conformity - it can become a daily fight to "stay true to you."  What are your true thoughts and ideas? What's your true style and comfort?  What are you filtering your actions through?   Hey, sometimes its easier to "go along to get along" or follow blue prints that's already established, but for me - I Can Not.  Even if it...

Don't look away... We've already become so desensitized to the craziness of the world.  I get it, it's too much.  For my personal self care, I monitor what kind of news I take in.  Pay attention to what's going on "observe but don't absorb."   Be honest with yourself about what you're seeing and feeling, even if you don't fully understand what going on....

It's ok to have a "moment."  I know we're conditioned to be so strong and full of faith that we have forgotten how to be human.   To support our initiative to cultivate authenticity to youth (whom the world deems "at risk" please visit www.soulloveth.com for more information about our mission.

Hey Lovelies...  It's been a few weeks.  I hope you all are still finding time to sit still and Breathe.  Not just when problem arise. Everyday if possible, checking in with yourself.  Join me this week  for a "lighthearted" body scan meditation to bring some sense of order and stillness this week.   I'm speaking to myself first.   To support our initiative to cultivate authent...

Hey lovelies! It’s been a few weeks- but trust me, you all have been on my heart and in my prayers. My focus has been occupied with a new project I’ve been working on - now I’m a bit more settled and can “shift” my energy back “here!” Whew… I felt a release just typing that statement. I’ve really been putting into practice everything I’ve been sharing here- being intentional about embracing “Ease”...
