451: If Life Was a Movie, Whose Script Are You Living?
4d ago00:37:50Tap to summarize"One of the greatest tragedies in life is waking up one day and realizing you became who the world wanted… but never who you truly are." What if the life you're living was shaped by expectations you never consciously chose? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson invites you to confront one of the deepest questions of all: If life was a movie… whose script are you living? From childhood, many of us are conditioned to seek approval, play roles, and become versions of ourselves that feel acceptable, successful, or safe. But over time, constantly performing who you think you should be can disconnect you from who you truly are. This conversation explores how fear, conditioning, and the need for validation quietly shape your choices, relationships, dreams, and identity, often without you realizing it. Kute reveals why so many people feel empty even after achieving what they thought they wanted, and how living unconsciously according to someone else's script slowly drains your sense of aliveness, purpose, and freedom. More importantly, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself whether the life you're building genuinely reflects your truth or whether you've simply become loyal to a role you outgrew long ago. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, trapped in expectations, or afraid to fully honor what your soul truly wants, this conversation may help you remember that your life was never meant to be a performance, it was meant to be authentically yours. Timestamps 01:48 – The question that changes everything: whose life are you really living? 04:12 – How conditioning shapes the roles you unconsciously play 07:35 – The hidden cost of seeking approval and validation 11:08 – Why success can still leave you feeling empty inside 15:42 – Outgrowing old identities, relationships, and expectations 21:10 – What happens when you finally choose your truth over performance Some Questions I Ask Are you living your truth… or a version of yourself built for approval? How much of your life was consciously chosen by you? Who would you be if you stopped performing for acceptance? What parts of yourself have you abandoned just to belong? Have you become successful at a life that no longer feels like yours? If life was a movie… would you be proud of the character you're becoming? In This Episode, You'll Learn The 6 life characters secretly shaping your identity and choices Which survival role may be keeping you stuck and unfulfilled Why success means nothing when you're living out of character How people-pleasing and performance disconnect you from yourself The hidden pattern behind feeling lost, restless, or emotionally drained How to stop acting out a role and start living your real life Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

450: Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche on How To Find Real Inner Peace (Even When Your Mind Won't Stop) Part 2
2w ago00:55:28Tap to summarize"Peace is not something you find; it's what remains when the search ends." In Part 2 of this powerful conversation with Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, Kute Blackson takes the discussion deeper into the subtle patterns that keep the mind constantly searching, overthinking, and trying to "arrive" somewhere better. If you've been growing, healing, and making progress, yet still feel a quiet tension or restlessness underneath it all, this episode speaks directly to that experience. Rather than offering more techniques or strategies, this conversation points to something more fundamental: the way the mind creates a sense of self that is always trying to improve, control, and get somewhere else. You'll begin to see how this pattern shows up in everyday life, through overthinking, striving, and the constant feeling that something isn't quite enough and why it can keep you from experiencing the peace you're looking for. This episode isn't about becoming someone new. It's about seeing more clearly what's already happening within you, and how that awareness can shift your entire relationship to your thoughts, your emotions, and your sense of self. If you've ever felt like you're searching for something you can't quite reach, this conversation may help you finally understand why and point you toward a different kind of peace. Timestamps (00:02:31) – The real issue: why you still don't feel at peace (00:04:08) – The illusion of a separate "self" begins (00:06:22) – How the mind creates identity and separation (00:08:47) – The endless loop of seeking and becoming (00:11:15) – Why nothing external ever feels like enough (00:14:03) – Effort, control, and the subtle struggle within (00:17:28) – The moment of seeing: awareness beyond the mind (00:21:10) – What remains when the search starts to fall away In This Episode, You'll Learn Why the feeling that something is missing has nothing to do with your life How the illusion of a separate "self" is created and why you believe it Why constant seeking, healing, and improving can keep you stuck How the mind creates subtle suffering, even when everything seems fine What happens when you stop identifying with your thoughts and identity Some Questions I Ask: How can we go beyond all karma completely? How do we function daily without mental attachment? If life has no purpose, how do we find meaning? Do our good deeds matter in an impermanent world? How do we reconcile "no loss" with deep personal grief? How can we prepare for and make peace with death? Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

449: Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche on How To Find Real Inner Peace (Even When Your Mind Won't Stop) Part 1
2w ago00:45:12Tap to summarize"You're not trying to become free; you're learning to see what was never true." Why does something still feel off, even when you're doing everything "right"? You've worked on yourself. You've grown, healed, reflected, and made real changes. And yet, there can still be a subtle tension beneath it all, a quiet sense that something isn't quite complete, something still needs fixing, or something is missing. In this deeply revealing episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with revered Buddhist spiritual teacher Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, to explore a radical truth: what you're experiencing may have less to do with your life circumstances and more to do with who you believe yourself to be. Drawing from a profound spiritual lineage, this conversation gently but powerfully challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions we carry: the identity we've built and spend our lives trying to improve, protect, and perfect. You'll begin to see how the constant effort to "fix" yourself can actually reinforce the very feeling of limitation you're trying to escape and why, even after growth and success, a sense of incompleteness can remain. Rather than offering another method to change your life, this episode points to something deeper. It invites you to question the lens through which you see yourself, and to explore what becomes possible when that lens begins to loosen. If you've ever felt like you're searching for something you can't quite find, or working to become someone you hope will finally feel whole, this conversation may offer a perspective that quietly, but profoundly changes everything. TIMESTAMPS: (00:01:52) – The illusion of self: who you think you are (00:03:40) – How identity is formed through conditioning (00:06:15) – Why growth and healing still feel incomplete (00:09:28) – The trap of trying to "fix" yourself (00:12:47) – Control, the mind, and subtle suffering (00:16:10)– Seeing through the false self (Tulku perspective) (00:20:35) – What remains when identification loosens (00:25:50) – True freedom: beyond effort and identity In This Episode, You'll Learn Why nothing in your life will fix how you feel (and what actually will) The hidden illusion of self that's keeping you stuck without you realizing it How your mind creates suffering; even when everything seems "fine" Why trying to heal, grow, or improve yourself can keep you trapped What happens when you stop identifying with your thoughts and identity The real path to freedom and why it has nothing to do with effort Some Questions I Ask What if the problem isn't your life… but who you think you are in it? Are you trying to fix something that was never broken? Who would you be without the story you keep telling yourself? What are you holding onto that's keeping you from feeling free? If you stopped trying to control everything… what would remain? Are you ready to question the identity you've built your life around? Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

448: What To Do When You've Outgrown Your Old Life
3w ago00:11:17Tap to summarize"You're not lost. You're simply outgrowing the life that no longer fits who you're becoming." What do you do when your life looks fine on the outside but something inside you knows it no longer fits? There are moments in life where nothing is obviously "wrong," yet everything feels slightly off. The things that once excited you no longer move you. The roles you've been playing feel heavier. And a quiet voice within begins to ask deeper questions you can't ignore. In this episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson explores one of the most misunderstood phases of growth the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. This isn't a breakdown. It's a transition. And yet, it can feel confusing, isolating, and even unsettling. You may find yourself questioning your path, your relationships, or your sense of purpose without having clear answers about what comes next. Kute unpacks why this stage feels the way it does, how familiar patterns and internal resistance can keep you stuck, and what's really happening beneath the surface when your old life starts to lose its meaning. More importantly, this episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap for navigating this in-between space with clarity and trust. Rather than rushing to fix the discomfort or force immediate answers, you'll learn how to recognize the deeper invitation within it and begin taking small, aligned steps toward what is emerging. If you've been feeling restless, disconnected, or like you no longer fit into your own life, this conversation will help you understand why and show you how to move forward without losing yourself in the process. Timestamps (00:00:55) - When your life no longer feels like you (00:04:08) - The hidden "in-between" phase of transformation (00:04:54) - The ego's subtle ways of keeping you stuck (00:05:58) - The roadmap to release and realignment (00:07:56) - Why this isn't a breakdown; it's your becoming Some Questions I Ask What in my life no longer feels aligned with who I am becoming? Where am I staying out of comfort instead of truth? What am I pretending not to know right now? What am I afraid might happen if I let go? What is one small step I can take toward the life I truly want? In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feeling "off" can actually be a sign of growth. The hidden stage between who you were and who you're becoming. How your ego tries to keep you stuck (and how to recognize it). The 5-step process to move through this transition with clarity and trust. Why letting go comes before clarity, not after. How to take aligned action without blowing up your entire life.

447: Nicole LePera on Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them
4w ago01:01:32Tap to summarizeYou don't feel free, not because of your life, but because of the patterns you learned to survive it." What if the reason you don't feel free… has nothing to do with your circumstances? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with Nicole LePera to reveal how your inner child is still shaping your sense of safety, control, and freedom. You may be doing everything right… yet still feel tense, on edge, or unable to fully relax. This conversation uncovers why: part of you is still responding to life from the past. Through the lens of the inner child, Nicole explains how patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and control were learned early on to help you feel safe and how they continue to run your life today. Those patterns once protected you. But they may now be limiting you. If you've ever felt like something inside you won't let you fully feel at ease… or like you keep repeating the same emotional cycles; this episode will help you see it clearly. Timestamps (00:02:47) – The real issue: why you don't feel free (beyond circumstances) (00:04:12) – How your body learned safety through survival (00:06:05) – Conditioning: how your early environment shaped you (00:08:30) – Living in subtle anxiety (even when life is "fine") (00:10:18) – Why you keep looking outside to feel okay (00:12:41) – Control, hyper-awareness, and nervous system patterns (00:15:06) – The identity you built to survive (00:18:22) – Recognizing patterns vs. thinking your way out (00:22:48) – Awareness as the doorway to real change (00:27:15) – Reconnecting with safety within (closing insight) Questions I Ask What if your lack of freedom has nothing to do with your life? Are you actually safe… or just used to surviving? Why does your body stay on edge even when nothing is wrong? What are you still trying to control just to feel okay? Who would you be if you didn't need life to go a certain way? Are you ready to see the pattern that's been running you? In This Episode, You'll Learn Why nothing in your life will fix how you feel (and never will) The real reason you're still anxious, even when everything is "fine" How your body is addicted to survival mode (and you don't even see it) Why your need for control is actually keeping you stuck The hidden pattern running your life on autopilot What it actually takes to break free (and why most people never do) Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

Apr 1500:40:28Tap to summarize"The moment you stop chasing control… you start experiencing peace." What if peace isn't something you find… but something you return to? In this eye-opening episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson challenges the way you've been chasing calm in a world built on noise, speed, and constant stimulation. Most people aren't truly at peace, they're distracted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. And the more they try to control life, the further peace seems to slip away.

Are you observing your thoughts… or being controlled by them? In This Episode, You'll Learn How to access peace immediately; no matter what's happening around you The subtle daily patterns that keep you stuck in stress and overwhelm A simple breathing reset that can shift your entire state in minutes How to create space between you and your thoughts (without fighting them) Why slowing down is the ultimate advantage in a fast, chaotic world Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

445: John Paul Dejoria on From Homeless to Billionaire: JP DeJoria's Purpose Blueprint
Apr 800:59:35Tap to summarize"The pain you're trying to escape might be the purpose you're meant to live." In this powerful Soultalk episode, Kute sits down with the visionary, entrepreneur, philanthropist, Co-founder of Paul Mithcell Sytems, John Paul DeJoria. He doesn't just talk about purpose like a slogan, he talks about it like a man who earned it. In this Soul talk episode, he shares the real story behind sleeping in his car, getting fired multiple times, and building Paul Mitchell into a global empire without losing his humanity, his faith, or his heart. What makes this conversation different is how practical it is. JP breaks down how purpose often reveals itself through rejection, how to keep moving when everything collapses, and why your "worst moments" may be the exact training ground you'll someday use to lift others. This isn't motivational fluff, it's a lived philosophy forged in hardship. If you've ever felt lost, behind, rejected, or afraid to start because you don't have a perfect plan… this is the reset you didn't know you needed. JP's message is simple: your purpose isn't to avoid failure, it's to learn, rise, and give back with what you've lived. TIMESTAMPS (00:00:00) – The moment everything fell apart… and why it changed everything. (00:02:18) – Homeless and sleeping in his car: the decision that kept him going. (00:05:40) – Fired again and again; why rejection became his greatest advantage, (00:09:05) – The mindset shift that turns rock bottom into momentum. (00:12:30) – The "rejection formula" that builds unstoppable resilience. (00:16:10) – Why most people stay stuck (and the habit you need to drop today). (00:19:45) – How to move forward fast without carrying your past. (00:23:20) – Where the real opportunities are right now (and how to see them). (00:27:05 – What success really means and why most people get it wrong. (00:31:10) – The final message: why your story is bigger than you think Some Questions I Ask: What if the worst thing that ever happened to you is actually preparing you for your life's work? How do you keep going when every door keeps closing and nothing seems to work? Are you holding onto a past that's silently blocking your future? What if rejection isn't stopping you… but trying to redirect you? Where are the real opportunities right now and why are most people missing them? What would change if success wasn't about what you get… but who you become? In this episode, you will learn: How purpose evolves over time and why not knowing your purpose yet doesn't mean you're behind The "rejection mindset" that builds unstoppable resilience (and how to stay enthusiastic on the next "door") How to move forward fast by dropping the past and the one mental habit that keeps people stuck Where the real opportunities are right now for entrepreneurs JP's definition of success that changes everything Get in Touch: https://www.purposesummit2026.com/tps-26131005?inf_contact_key=61a1aef32d624b0112ddad1cc5fd42dc Create a life that is a masterpiece.

444: The Truth About Freedom: Why the World Can't Give It to You
Mar 3100:35:01Tap to summarize"The moment you stop depending on the world to feel okay… you become free." What if the reason you don't feel free… has nothing to do with your circumstances? In this deeply grounding episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson challenges the way you've been taught to understand freedom. In a world full of noise, chaos, and constant distraction, it's easy to believe that peace comes from controlling what happens outside of you, but that belief may be what's keeping you stuck. As your attention is pulled outward into fear, comparison, and uncertainty, you slowly lose connection with your true nature. You wait for life to settle, for things to align, believing then you'll feel free. But that moment never arrives. This episode reveals how your identity, shaped by conditioning and past experiences, may be limiting your freedom. And as long as your inner state depends on external circumstances, your peace will always feel unstable. This is not about changing the world. It's about remembering who you are beyond it. If you are ready to stop waiting for life to change… and start reclaiming your inner state, regardless of what is happening around you, this conversation may be exactly what you need right now. Timestamps (00:01:02) – The world is designed to hijack your attention (00:05:05) – Why looking outside will never give you freedom (00:06:13) – The truth: there is no real freedom in the external world (00:07:20) – The illusion of success, money, and "arrival" (00:09:25) – The trap: depending on life to feel okay (00:10:36)– You were born free (before conditioning) (00:12:04) – Life as a game meant to wake you up (00:14:24) – The identity illusion begins: who you think you are (00:18:41) – The deeper truth: remembering who you really are (00:23:39) – "I am": the only truth that sets you free Questions I Ask What if the reason you feel trapped… is you? Are you addicted to the chaos that's keeping you stuck? Who would you be if you stopped believing your own story? What are you unconsciously using as an excuse not to be free? Are you chasing things… because you don't know who you are without them? What if nothing outside of you is ever going to fix how you feel? In This Episode, You'll Learn Why the world is engineered to keep you distracted and reactive. The uncomfortable truth about why you still don't feel free. How your identity is built and how it's quietly controlling your life. Why chasing success, control, or validation will never be enough. What's really keeping you stuck (and it's not your circumstances). How to break the cycle and reclaim your inner freedom for real. Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

443: Dr. Sue Morter on The Hidden Reason You Still Feel Stuck (Even When You're Doing Everything Right)
Mar 2401:04:31Tap to summarize"It's not your circumstances that are limiting you; It's the state you're operating from." What if the reason you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to create the life you want isn't your circumstances but the state your body and energy are operating from? In this episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson sits down with Dr. Sue Morter to reveal why real transformation doesn't come from thinking harder, pushing more, or trying to fix yourself. Dr. Sue explains that when you're caught in stress, overthinking, and survival mode, your system becomes contracted, limiting what you can perceive, receive, and create. From that state, even your best efforts can keep you stuck in the same patterns. Through her grounded and practical approach, she shares powerful, body-based tools to help you regulate your internal state, shift out of survival, and reconnect with the natural flow of energy within you. You'll begin to understand how your nervous system shapes your reality and how learning to anchor yourself in your body can open the door to clarity, healing, and real change. This episode is not about doing more. It's about learning how to work with your body instead of against it. If you feel like you've been doing everything you can but still not seeing real change, this episode is what you've been looking for. TIMESTAMPS (00:03:20) – If Everything Is Energy, Why Are You Still Stuck? (00:08:05) – Why Trying Harder Keeps You in Scarcity (00:13:10) – Can You Really Create the Life You Want? (00:17:14) – Stop Living in Your Head (Do This Instead) (00:24:29) – What To Do When You Feel Overwhelmed (00:29:04) – How Stress Can Actually Transform Your Life (00:33:48) – Shift Your State in Seconds (Simple Technique) (00:38:44) – Your Triggers Are the Key to Growth (00:42:50) – A Simple Practice to Feel Grounded Fast (00:47:41) – How to Calm Your Nervous System Naturally (00:51:38) – Why Real Change Starts in the Body (00:58:01) – Nothing Is Wrong With You (Powerful Reframe) (00:01:02) – Final Insight: Become Your True Self Some Questions I Ask: What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with your circumstances? Are you trying to change your life from the same state that's keeping you there? What if your stress and triggers are actually pointing you to your next level? Are you living in your head… or truly connected to your body and inner power? What would change if you stopped trying to fix everything and shifted how you relate to life? In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why trying harder isn't the answer and may be keeping you stuck How your internal state shapes everything you experience The real reason you feel overwhelmed, tense, or not enough How to shift from control to calm and feel different fast A simple way to ground yourself in the middle of chaos Why your triggers might be showing you exactly where to grow Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.
