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 soft conversation about the small, sacred ways we get ready for what’s ahead — even when we don’t real...

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 and naturally has me present and more creative. Tune in as I share the benefits of slowing down and engaging all of your sens...

In this episode, I reflect on the Thanksgiving weekend and the ways I nurtured my passions— dancing , thrifting , and baking a brand-new dish.

...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 feel alive, so you don’t just survive—but thrive—through these tough times. The point is to reignit...

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.

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 that's constantly programming you to conform. Whew... Sit with that for a minute. This episode I peel back more layers as I talk ab...

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, paying your bills, not wanting to be "outside" all of the time - and just chilling in the house doing "nothing on purpose" is Sexy and ...

We have dominion over time -- you slow it down my doing a mental inventory of what's wasting your time and put systems in place to preserve it.

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, but don't Absorb. Use wisdom in positioning yourself - yet, don't let the noise dictate your movement and wellbeing. To suppor...

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 to not get too attached to anything. Be fully present, do the work - yet know when it's time to shift, or move on to the next thing. Tim...

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? This type of awareness is not easy - but its so needed to foster peace of and staying true to yourself . To support...

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 makes me stand out and often times, stand alone, I have to honor how God created me. It's a reason some things make you uncomfortable, make you t...

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. Don't betray your own consciousness by denying the truth "YOU SEE"... What I'm seeing with these political wars are not in alignment with the persona...

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” in the midst of “movement” ..

It's amazing to have goals and dreams, but pursing them sometimes can cause stress and negative emotions because we forget to enjoy the journey "In the Mean Time..." Life is to be lived and experienced, we can't do that if our happiness and wellbeing is only attached to our striving and accomplishments. We must be intentional about enjoying and embracing the present moment. Can't be all work and no play. Im talking from experience here - I had to learn to give myself permission to "play" because...

Some say imitation is a form of flattery... That has never sat well with me. Being a creative person that really puts the work into understanding myself, into seeing the world through a broader lens, that's intentional about creating and experiencing life in a way that inspires a impactful expression -- it kind of ticks me off when I see my "vibe" trying to be packaged by individuals other than myself... Like really? Inspiration is one thing, but being a carbon copy of someone is kinda creepy. I...
