Science & Spirituality

In this episode, we dive deep into a question that touches all of us at some point: What actually makes life fulfilling? Together, we explore the science and soul of what it means to live a meaningful life—from the power of purpose to the healing impact of community and service. We unpack why striving for perfection often leaves us feeling empty, and how shifting our focus to progress and connection can bring so much more depth and joy. If you've ever felt like you're chasing goals but still wondering, "Is this it?"—this conversation is for you.We also get real about relationships, personal growth, and the quiet journey of self-discovery. What if true fulfillment isn't about achieving more, but becoming more of who you really are? How do your connections, your contributions, and your sense of belonging influence your well-being? As we reflect on our own experiences and lessons, we invite you to do the same—to check in with your heart, get curious about your purpose, and reimagine what a successful, meaningful life looks like on your own terms.

Ever feel like you're pushing yourself to stay consistent, even when your soul's whispering for rest? In this episode, we open up about our recent break from the podcast—and why stepping away was exactly what we needed. We dive deep into the natural ebb and flow of life, exploring how the universal law of rhythm can guide us to honor our own timing, rather than force progress. If you've ever wrestled with burnout, overcommitment, or the pressure to "keep going," this one's for you.We also explore how powerful discernment really is—especially when it comes to making choices that align with your truth. From cutting out excess noise to reconnecting with our gut instincts, we reflect on how "tuning out" can actually tune us in. What would it look like to fully trust your inner voice? And how might your life shift if you gave yourself permission to pause? Tap in for a refreshingly real convo on breaks, boundaries, and the beauty of coming back to what truly matters.

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers.

Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting.
