In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming the way we understand communication, confidence, and self-expression—starting with your voice.

What if your voice is the most underdeveloped leadership tool you have?

In this episode of Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with Makaeel Sheikh (Co-Founder & CEO) and Raheem Sheikh (Co-Founder) of NūrAI—an AI-powered voice coaching platform designed to help you communicate with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Founded by two scientist brothers, NūrAI is redefining how we understand communication—analyzing not just what you say, but how you say it:

your tone, rhythm, presence, energy, and patterns over time.

We explore:

Why your voice is deeply connected to identity and leadership

How real-time AI feedback can transform how you communicate

The hidden ways people shrink, code-switch, or disconnect from their voice

How self-awareness in communication leads to confidence and growth

The future of voice, AI, and human potential

Nūr isn’t just about communication—it’s about alignment, self-awareness, and reclaiming your authentic expression.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or unsure how you’re coming across…

This conversation will shift how you see your voice—and your leadership.

In this powerful episode of Sunday SoulDay, we sit down with Graham Skidmore, former Rocket Mortgage executive turned entrepreneur, educator, and systems thinker, to explore the deeper truth behind burnout, identity, and reclaiming personal power.

After two decades helping scale one of corporate America’s most influential client acquisition engines, Graham experienced what many would call burnout—but what he now recognizes as a profound spiritual initiation.

That moment didn’t break him.

It redirected him.

Today, Graham is building systems that honor the soul, restore agency, and integrate ethical AI to support human potential—not replace it.

🌱 In this episode, we explore:

The hidden truth behind burnout—and why it’s often a turning point

Why “the systems are broken, not the people”

How fear, trauma, and conditioning shape our lives—and how to transform them

Reclaiming personal sovereignty in a world of one-size-fits-all systems

The role of ethical AI in supporting human intelligence and evolution

What it means to live in alignment with your authentic self

🌿 About Graham’s Work

Graham is the founder of:

EnGen — a nonprofit incubating healing, education, and decentralized community

SATH Solutions — building ethical, soul-aligned AI infrastructure

Harmony Health — helping individuals reconnect with their potential through education, tools, and practitioner support

He is also the creator of I Didn’t Come With an Owner’s Manual, a multi-part YouTube teaching series and forthcoming book that explores how personal growth, healing, and self-awareness are deeply connected to how we understand ourselves—and the systems we live within.

🌸 Why this conversation matters

This episode challenges the idea that something is “wrong” with you.

Instead, it offers a new perspective:

👉 What if your struggles are not failures—but signals?

👉 What if your path isn’t broken—but misaligned?

👉 What if your power was never lost—just buried?

🌱 Who this is for

Leaders navigating burnout or identity shifts

Founders and creators questioning conventional success

Anyone seeking deeper alignment, healing, and purpose

Those curious about the intersection of consciousness, systems, and AI

I’m joined by LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, who quit her full-time job at 6½ months pregnant to launch her first business. That was just the beginning of her Gutsy moves.

For years, she fought to keep her branding studio alive… until she realized the business she built had started owning her. Exhausted. Anxious. Cash-poor. Resentful. Something had to change.

In this conversation, LauraAura shares what happened when she got brutally honest with herself and stopped building her life around “shoulds.” We talk about identity, burnout, clarity, and what it really means to build a brand that feels aligned instead of performative.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own business, this episode will hit home.

🎙️ In this episode, we cover:

• The courage behind quitting her job while pregnant

• How to recognize when your business is consuming you

• Why radical honesty is the foundation of aligned branding

• How to strip away societal “shoulds”

• What a true “gutsy move” looks like in business

• 2–3 practical steps to simplify your brand message today

• Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship

• One powerful exercise to help you come alive again

For 17+ years, LauraAura has helped people break through resistance and take bold action. Today, she’s a full-time keynote speaker and coach, featured in WealthInsider and Yahoo! News, with a Top 100 Global Podcast and a community of 60k+ people who show up for her lovingly blunt guidance.

Her message is simple but powerful:

Your mind can fuel your next big move… or keep you stuck.

In this powerful bonus episode of Sunday SoulDay Podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur and marketing strategist Satara Brown to explore her journey from law enforcement to full-time entrepreneurship — and how the devastating loss of her mother transformed her life and purpose.

Satara opens up about navigating burnout, homelessness, and grief — and how free yoga classes in the park became a lifeline during her darkest season. Today, she’s building purpose-driven ventures through SB Consulting Firm, GirlBossBrand, and The Balance Suite, and preparing to open her own yoga studio in 2026.

We discuss:

Pivoting careers with faith and resilience

Building businesses “messily” and learning as you go

Supporting burned-out women entrepreneurs

The healing power of yoga and community

Turning pain into purpose-driven leadership

Staying consistent when growth feels slow

If you’re navigating grief, burnout, reinvention, or the desire to pivot into something more aligned, this conversation will encourage and empower you.

In this powerful episode of Sunday SoulDay in our season 4 opener, I sit down with Olympic gold medalist, author, and elite performance coach Marion Jones for an honest, grounded conversation about discipline, resilience, accountability, and rising after setbacks.

Marion made history as the first woman to win five medals at a single Olympic Games—and she also walked through one of the most public reckonings in sports history. Today, she’s redefining success through discipline, consistency, and aligned performance across fitness, business, and life.

In this episode, we explore:

🌱 How Marion’s definition of winning has evolved over time

🌱 Why discipline matters more than motivation in every area of life

🌱 The inseparable connection between mind, body, and daily habits

🌱 What inspired the launch of MJEP (Marion Jones Elite Performance)

🌱 How to stay consistent when motivation fades

🌱 The intention behind her new MJEP merch line

🌱 What it really takes to rise after personal or professional setbacks

🌱 How Marion stays spiritually and emotionally fueled as a mother, entrepreneur, and elite performance coach.

This conversation is for anyone navigating pressure, rebuilding after failure, or seeking sustainable performance rooted in truth—not image.

If you’re ready to redefine success, build real discipline, and rise with integrity and purpose, this episode is for you. Tune in this Sunday afternoon for this incredible conversation with someone I have admired for years, Marion Jones!

About Marion

Marion is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. She made history as the first woman to win five medals at a single Olympic Games, earning three gold and two bronze medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics. A standout at the University of North Carolina, she helped lead the Tar Heels to an NCAA Championship and became a global icon, appearing on the covers of Time, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated, with partnerships from brands like Nike, Gatorade, and Got Milk.

In 2007, she faced one of the most defining chapters of her life—taking full responsibility, returning her medals, and serving a 6-month prison sentence. What followed was not retreat, but transformation. Just four months after giving birth to her third child, Marion returned to professional sports in the WNBA and began a new chapter rooted in discipline, truth, and growth.

Today, Marion is a speaker, entrepreneur, elite performance coach, and founder of MJEP—Marion Jones Elite Performance. Through her app, training programs, and merchandise, she helps people build consistency, resilience, and strength—physically and mentally. Above all, she’s a devoted mother and a living example of what it means to rise after a fall and redefine what winning truly means.

In this deeply moving episode of Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with internationally renowned artist Anne Plaisance, whose work transforms trauma into testimony and pain into powerful acts of resistance and healing.

With over 100 exhibitions worldwide and projects spanning painting, installation, photography, and mixed media, Anne’s art confronts some of the most difficult truths of our time—domestic violence, abuse, survival, and the reclaiming of voice—while anchoring them in hope, resilience, and transformation.

In this conversation, we discuss:

🌿 The role of joy after years of confronting pain

🌿 Art as both resistance and a beacon of hope

🌿 Creativity, community, and resilience across cultures

🌿 A powerful message for survivors reclaiming their power

Dr. Bleck’s story begins with unimaginable hardship. From a childhood marked by severe abuse to becoming a nationally recognized therapist, author, professor, and innovator—his journey is a testament to resilience, empathy, and the courage to transform pain into purpose.

For over 40 years, Dr. Bleck has helped individuals struggling with:

• Anger issues

• Eating disorders

• Emotional wounds that linger for decades

His method—built on psychological research, neuroscience-aligned principles, and decades of clinical experience—guides people through a powerful process:

3️⃣ Completion – giving the pain back to its source so the wound can truly heal

We also discuss his book, "Give Back the Pain," where he breaks down the SCT process through real-life stories and offers tools, including self-hypnosis scripts, that help readers move toward emotional freedom.

If you’re carrying pain from the past…

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck…

This Sunday SoulDay episode features Dr. Gary Sprouse, a retired physician turned author, speaker, and mindset specialist known as The Less Stress Doc. After four decades of treating thousands of patients, he uncovered a powerful truth:

👉 Most human stress isn’t caused by what’s wrong with us — it’s a side effect of what’s right with us - our changing environments.

Our ability to envision the future becomes worry.

Our empathy becomes guilt.

Our memory becomes regret.

Our intelligence becomes overwhelm

In this episode, Dr. Sprouse shares how stress nearly consumed his own life, what he calls his “55-gallon drum of stress,” and how retirement actually opened the door to continue his life’s purpose in a new way: helping people break stress loops and return to their “Happy Place.”

This conversation is for you if you are…

✔️ Feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin

✔️ Caught in a loop of worry, guilt, or perfectionism

✔️ Wanting more peace, clarity, or emotional balance

✔️ Curious about the science of stress, mindset, and healing

✔️ Ready to move toward your own “Happy Place”

🌱 The hardest truths she faced while writing Courageous Compassion

🌱 Why healing is a remembering, not a becoming

Today’s guest, Theresa Byrne, is a true powerhouse of mindset, insight, and boundaries. Twice honored as Mindset Coach of the Year (2023 & 2024), Theresa brings unmatched wisdom from her groundbreaking work.

What happens when you’ve checked all the boxes—successful career, high-impact roles, impressive achievements—but still feel misaligned? For Raychel Hollingsworth, that question became the catalyst for a radical transformation.

In this deeply inspiring episode, Raychel—former Google and Meta leader turned trauma-informed life coach and cosmic life designer—shares her extraordinary journey from surviving childhood trauma to helping high achievers break free from internal cages and redefine what success truly means.

We explore how she built financial independence at 15, navigated the high-stakes world of big tech, and eventually found her way to embodiment, spiritual healing, and lasting joy. Raychel brings a grounded blend of science, soul, and strategy as she guides clients from pain to purpose—and from high-performing to fully alive.

In this conversation, we dive into:

Why happiness isn’t a destination—it’s an embodimentWhat it really means to "break the box" and live on your own termsHow trauma rewires our beliefs—and how we can rewire them backThe integration of plant medicine, somatics, and neuroscienceHow Raychel fuels herself mind, body, and soul to do the work she doesThe one book that changed her healing journey

Who is this episode for:

Whether you’re climbing the ladder or feeling called to something deeper, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to meet their favorite self—not just their best one.

About Raychel

Raychel Hollingsworth knows what it means to push limits. She survived an abusive childhood, became financially independent at 15, and went on to scale hyper-growth teams at Google and Meta—optimizing systems, championing equity, and shaping products used by millions. Yet even at the height of corporate impact, she felt a deep ache for alignment and authentic fulfillment.

Two decades of immersive healing followed—Western therapy, somatic work, and shamanic plant medicine—revealing a calling far bigger than any corporate title: guiding high performers to break free from the boxes they’ve built around themselves and craft success on their own terms.

Olympian Garrett Scantling knows that feeling all too well.

After placing 4th in the decathlon at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Garrett was poised for greatness. Sponsors. Recognition. Global stage.

Then came the silence.

A suspension.

Two deleted Instagram accounts.

No sponsors.

And a choice: disappear quietly or rise again.

In this week’s episode of Sunday SoulDay, Garrett gets real about what it means to rebuild your identity when everything you thought defined you gets stripped away. No fluff. Just truth, grit, and that unshakable spirit that says, I’m still here.

The road to the Olympics isn’t always gold-plated. Sometimes it’s lonely, uncertain, and full of lessons that don't show up on highlight reels.

⁠

We talk:

Life after Olympic glory

Training in the dark—mentally, emotionally, and physically

Coaching high schoolers by day, chasing a comeback by night

Why purpose—not popularity—keeps him going

And how YOU can grow even when no one’s watching

About Garrett

Garrett Scantling is an American Decathlete, Olympian, 4-time U.S. Champion, 6-time All American, and 4-time SEC Champion who holds the 9th highest Decathlon score in world history. A Jacksonville native, Garrett made his mark on the track at the University of Georgia and later placed 4th at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. After facing a suspension and a series of personal and professional hurdles, he’s now coaching multiple sports at a local high school while making a bold return to elite competition—setting his sights on the 2025 World Championships and the 2028 Olympics.

What happens when a former U.S. diplomat, mountaineer, and changemaker realizes that the greatest risk isn’t external—but internal?

In this soul-stirring episode, we sit down with John Graham, a man whose life reads like an epic novel. From scaling Denali’s treacherous north wall to navigating the high-stakes world of diplomacy in Vietnam, Libya, and South Africa, John’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

But it’s not the danger or accolades that define him—it’s the pivot to purpose.

John shares how he shifted from climbing literal mountains to climbing toward meaning. We talk about the moment he realized that true courage lies in choosing peace, service, and legacy over ego and fear. He opens up about his transformation from Washington insider to global activist, and how that evolution birthed the Giraffe Heroes Project—a movement celebrating those who “stick their necks out” for the greater good.

You’ll hear powerful stories of unsung heroes, reflections on what it means to live with purpose, and how he continues to inspire younger generations—even as the “Badass Granddad” on TikTok.

✨ We explore:

✨What diplomacy taught him about courage and character

✨How to find the meaning of your life—and why it matters

✨Why serving others is the path to deep self-discovery

✨The legacy he hopes to leave behind

✨And how you can make your one wild and precious life count

✨If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this all there is?” or “How can I live more boldly and meaningfully?”—this conversation is for you.

Press play and get ready to be moved, inspired, and reconnected with your deeper why.

About John

John Graham’s career spans diplomacy, daring exploration, and a deep commitment to social change. A former U.S. diplomat for 15 years, he played key roles in revolutionary Libya, Vietnam, NATO, the U.S. Mission to the UN, and served as a foreign policy advisor to Senator John Glenn. Beyond diplomacy, he’s an accomplished mountaineer, achieving the first (and still unrepeated) ascent of Denali’s treacherous north wall.

Since 1983, John has been a driving force behind the Giraffe Heroes Project, an initiative that honors those who “stick their necks out” for the greater good. A Harvard and Stanford graduate, he is also the author of several books, including Outdoor Leadership, It’s Up to Us, Stick Your Neck Out, and Quest. His work continues to inspire courageous leadership and service worldwide.

Performance reviews can make or break a career — but what happens when the system itself is flawed?

In this episode of Sunday SoulDay, we’re diving into the future of performance reviews, leadership, and equity in the workplace with Kristin Bell and Laneisha Roberts, the dynamic co-founders of ReviewTailor—an AI-enabled HRTech startup revolutionizing how employees and managers track performance.

With extensive experience across HR, DEI, talent acquisition, and corporate leadership, Kristin and Laneisha saw firsthand how bias, incomplete documentation, and outdated processes impact career growth. That realization led them to build ReviewTailor, a platform designed to make performance reviews equitable, transparent, and meaningful.

We discuss:

🌟 The inspiration behind ReviewTailor and their journey from corporate leaders to startup founders.

✅ Their journey through TechStars and building ReviewTailor in Atlanta

💡 The hidden biases in traditional performance reviews and how AI and technology can help remove bias from performance evaluations.

📈 Why equitable performance reviews are essential for career growth, workplace culture, and DEI efforts.

🔋 How these powerhouse women fuel their minds, bodies, and souls while navigating entrepreneurship.

📚 Their go-to books, podcasts, and resources for leadership and business growth.

💡 If you’ve ever questioned your own review, struggled to advocate for your growth, or lead teams and want to build a better system — this conversation is for YOU.

1. Reflect: Pause and assess. What caused the roadblock? Seek feedback and gain clarity.
2. Rethink: Shift your perspective. Challenge assumptions and explore creative solutions.
3. Revise: Take intentional action. Build a new plan and set realistic, achievable goals.

Feeling stuck? Facing a roadblock? Let’s unpack these steps together.

Join me as I share lessons from my entrepreneurial journey—how I’ve overcome setbacks, celebrated wins, and embraced the powerful learning moments along the way.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation on navigating challenges with resilience and intention!
