Fire and Soul

If you’ve ever felt like your body turned against you somewhere in your 40s or 50s and no one had real answers... this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, PhD, Ayurvedic practitioner, founder of Fusionary Formulas, and author of The Inflammation Code (Hay House) for one of the most illuminating conversations we have had on Fire and Soul. We went deep on what is really happening in midlife, why inflammation is the root of so much of what we are experiencing, and how a 5,000 year old system of wisdom is giving us answers that modern medicine is just now catching up to. Dr. Shivani grew up in Houston, spent her childhood sick and cycling through antibiotics, and eventually made her way to Ayurvedic healing centers across India in search of answers. What she found changed everything, and now she has dedicated her life to bringing that wisdom to the West in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply grounding. This conversation will meet you exactly where you are. In this episode we cover: What inflammation actually is (acute vs. chronic) and why most of us are walking around with a low grade forest fire burning underneath the surface The term Dr. Shivani coined that stopped me in my tracks: mental inflammation, and why no amount of green juice will save you if you are not addressing this piece first The three Elemental Design types from Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how knowing yours changes everything from what you eat to how you exercise to why hot yoga might actually be working against you Why Pitta women in menopause need to stop choosing the hottest, hardest, most intense option and what cooling actually looks like in practice The gut microbiome and why the antibiotics so many of us took as kids may have set the stage for what we are experiencing now in midlife How circadian rhythm, copper tongue scraping, super spices, and a simple cup of tea can become the foundation of a sustainable reset The 14 day Inflammation Reset inside the book and where to start for free if you are not ready to dive in all the way How Human Design, Gene Keys, Vedic astrology, and Ayurveda can layer together into a dashboard of self understanding unlike anything else available to us right now And the reminder that moved me most: we are sovereign in our health. We have always had more power than we were told. If this episode finds you in the thick of it, know this: what you are experiencing is real. It has a name. It has roots. And there is a path through it that does not require you to suffer in silence or white knuckle your way to the other side. This is exactly the kind of conversation Fire and Soul exists for.

There's a version of this conversation happening everywhere right now. Most of it feels inflated. Or incomplete. This one isn't. Eight years of Fire and Soul. This is the first time I've opened this door. I brought on Tiffany Hurd of Golden Rule. She's spent over a decade inside this work. The way she speaks about these medicines stopped me the moment I heard her. This conversation has lived behind closed doors for a long time. Private conversations. Personal experiences. Careful discernment around what gets shared. Because this space requires that level of care. It's nuanced. It's powerful. It's subtle. And it's often misunderstood. We go into what these medicines actually are. How people are really using them. Where things get blurry. Where things get irresponsible. And what it looks like to approach this work with discernment. What microdosing actually is beyond the surface conversation. The difference between medicines people tend to group together. Why dosing, rhythm, and intention shape the entire experience. Where the line gets crossed without people realizing it. What happens when this work is rushed. And what begins to open when it's approached with respect. No performance. Just grounded truth. Real experience. Clear language. If this is something you've been drawn toward, questioning, or exploring... Listen in. And if you’re ready to explore these medicines with more clarity and support, you can learn more about Tiffany’s work and Golden Rule here.

What if money isn't something to chase, control, or fear, but a mirror of how deeply you're willing to remember who you are? This conversation with Elizabeth Ralph is one I will return to again and again. Elizabeth is the founder of The Spiritual Investor, host of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, and the guide behind a rapidly growing global movement that is reframing wealth, investing, and financial freedom through a lens most people were never taught: energy, consciousness, and self-expression. But this episode goes far beyond money. What unfolded here felt like a transmission about sacred remembrance. We explore what happens when you stop treating money as something separate from love, truth, or spiritual growth, and instead recognize it as an energetic reflection of your identity, your standards, and your willingness to choose the life that is calling you forward. If you've ever felt the tension between the spiritual path and the material world... If you've wondered how wealth and awakening actually coexist... Or if you're standing on the edge of a bigger life and can hear the old fears whispering... this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. I first discovered Elizabeth through the brilliant Luke Storey's podcast, The Life Stylist, and I remember listening to their conversation three times in two days because no one was talking about money like this. Her perspective is precise, embodied, and deeply liberating. And in this episode, we go even deeper. We talk about the moment Elizabeth chose to redefine freedom on her own terms. Why certainty, not strategy, is the real foundation of wealth. How effortless action emerges when your identity expands. Why spiritual people often unconsciously block money. And why the deepest work may simply be learning to drop the past in real time. Something Elizabeth shared that I am still sitting with: The version of you three months from now who is already living in the expanded place believes in it just as much as you believe in your current reality. There is no more evidence for one than the other. There never was. Which means the only thing that changes everything is what you choose to believe right now. At the heart of it all is something deceptively simple. Money is not separate from love. And when you begin to live from that truth, everything changes.

Title: The Return: Recalibration, Sacred Space Stewardship, and the Dharma of Retreat Holding After an unintentional three month pause, I'm returning to Fire and Soul with a solo episode that feels long overdue. In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on what this season has really been about for me, the numerology, the move out of Lakeway, the spiritual deepening, and the new chapter that is quietly becoming one of the most exciting things I have ever created. I also share why 2025 was simultaneously the hardest and greatest teacher of my life, what the 12 Wild and Holy Nights revealed to me, and the sacred thread of 222 that has been weaving through everything. Plus I'm giving you the first real look at Sacred Space Stewardship, my brand new certification program for women who are ready to lead transformational retreats with integrity, capacity, and true stewardship. The founding cohort kicks off May 19th and we are only taking eight women. If you have been feeling the call to hold space at this level, this episode is for you.

You don’t need another breakthrough. You don’t need another awakening. You don’t need another insight. And you definitely don’t need another method that works for three weeks and then collapses. What you may need is an integrated operating system. In this episode of Fire and Soul, I sit down with my dear friend and Transformational Leader Pavel Aeon for a grounded, uncompromising conversation about what happens after awakening, when growth outpaces the body, the nervous system, and the life structures meant to hold it. For the first time publicly, Pavel shares System Upgrade, and it is a genuine honor for me to be the place where this conversation is happening. System Upgrade is a monthly live summit with practical protocols and a global community for real transformation, created for high vibe freedom seekers who are ready to stabilize growth and live what they know. This is a yearlong global journey designed to support physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual integration throughout 2026. Not as a promise of transformation, but as a way to stabilize change so growth no longer comes at the cost of burnout, isolation, or collapse. We talk honestly about the four phases of real transformation. Wake up. Clean up. Power up. Rest up. We explore why so many people cycle between expansion and exhaustion, how breath functions as a direct regulatory tool rather than a performance practice, and the quiet grief that often comes with outgrowing relationships, identities, and old ways of living. This conversation is not about becoming more spiritual. It’s about becoming more capable of living what’s already true. If you’ve felt the next chapter approaching and you’re done paying for growth with your nervous system, this episode is for you. YOU’LL LEARN • Why repeated burnout is often a capacity issue rather than a personal failure • The four phases that determine whether transformation stabilizes or destabilizes • How breath supports regulation instead of performance • What happens when awakening outpaces the nervous system • Why relationships often change during periods of expansion • What Earth 2.0 actually means in everyday life • Who System Upgrade is designed for and why now If this conversation resonates, do not rush past that signal. System Upgrade is a yearlong global journey designed to support integration rather than peak experiences. You receive free access to monthly full day livestream summits, guided practices, weekly integration and coherence sessions, and a growing international community focused on sustainable evolution throughout 2026. This is not about becoming someone new. It’s about upgrading the system that has to carry who you already are.

What if healing isn’t about fixing ourselves but about slowing down enough to feel ourselves again? In this deeply grounding and illuminating episode of Fire and Soul, I sit down with my somatics therapist and mentor, Kate Appleton, whose five decades of experience bridge psychology, art, education, and storytelling. Together we explore what it truly means to live an embodied life — one rooted in sensation, relationship, and soul — and how to meet ourselves and each other beyond performance or productivity. Kate shares her wisdom on why healing doesn’t mean eliminating discomfort but learning how to be with it differently, and how true transformation happens through safety, trust, and connection. You’ll hear personal reflections from my own somatic journey, the science behind how our bodies communicate safety and stress, and how small, practical rituals can reawaken our aliveness. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to slow down, listen deeply, and return to the sacredness of being human. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: • What somatics truly means and how it brings us home to our “living wholeness” • How to notice the body’s subtle cues and sensations that signal truth and safety • Why leaning back in your chair can rewire your nervous system and deepen connection • How to create healthy boundaries through embodied awareness • The cultural cost of constant consumption and the invitation to return to creation • Simple ways to weave ritual, stillness, and silence into everyday life • How to help the next generation reconnect through values, integrity, and presence • Why slowing down is the most radical act of love and leadership in modern times “When we can feel the edges of our body, we remember where we end and the world begins.” — Kate Appleton Resources Mentioned: Attachment & Somatics TrainingMICHELLESORROhttps://traumaandsomatics.comConsumer to Creatorconsumertocreator.com @michelle.sorro Hosted on Acast.

What if the miracle you think you missed is already orbiting your life, waiting for you to notice it? In this tender and truth-telling episode of Fire and Soul, I sit down with Elizabeth Webb, author of Made for Magic: A Practical Guide from Survival Mode to Soul-Satisfying Joy. Elizabeth is a renowned coach, speaker, and spiritual teacher whose story reminds us that even our deepest heartbreaks can become portals to profound awakening. We talk about the love that shattered her heart open, the book that was born from her healing, and the journey of learning to access magic again after loss. We also explore the initiatory experience of moving to Austin, the messy middle of personal transformation, and what it means to find beauty, humility, and purpose through life’s breakdowns. Our conversation flows into the difference between intuition and trauma responses, how to reclaim your sense of safety and sovereignty, and why most of us are not broken but simply waiting to remember who we are. Elizabeth’s wisdom is raw, refreshing, and rooted in lived experience — this is one of those conversations that will move through your body as much as your mind. If you’ve ever felt late, lost, or afraid that your best days are behind you, this one will remind you that your miracle is right on time. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: • How Elizabeth transformed heartbreak into healing and creative purpose • The origin story of Made for Magic and what it means to live from soul-satisfying joy • The difference between intuition and trauma responses — and how to tell the two apart • How to build safety and self-trust when life doesn’t go as planned • The courage it takes to meet discomfort instead of bypassing it • How to shift from self-blame into radical self-responsibility and freedom • Why feeling misunderstood can actually be your spiritual initiation • The power of finding miracles in the mundane and beauty in the in-between “Healing doesn’t always mean fixing what’s broken. Sometimes it means finding the magic that was never lost.” Resources Mentioned: Order Made for Magic: A Practical Guide from Survival Mode to Soul-Satisfying Joy at madeformagicbook.com and download the first chapter for free Subscribe to Elizabeth’s Love Beams — her luminous letters on joy, intuition, and living awake Connect with Michelle on Instagram @michelle.sorro Hosted on Acast.

This episode is unlike anything I’ve ever done on Fire and Soul. For the first time, I’m the guest on my own show, interviewed by someone who has witnessed every iteration of me in the past nine years—the humbling moments, the expansive breakthroughs, and everything in between. Jocelyn and I first met inside my very first mastermind after a Tony Robbins firewalk event, which makes the timing of this conversation feel divinely orchestrated. She’s seen me lead from relentless drive, transform through shadow, and learn to show up from a place of genuine wholeness. Together, we reflect on friendship, growth, and what it really means to keep walking each other home. This conversation goes places I didn’t expect. We talk about: This feels like eavesdropping on a 6 a.m. phone call between soul sisters who’ve walked through heaven and hell together and come out choosing love, presence, and connection again and again. It’s intimate. It’s unscripted. It’s deeply human. And it’s a reminder that awakening isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. “These are initiatory times, and the fires I truly believe are not here to punish us—they are here to purify us.” Tune In If... You’re walking through your own fire right now and need a living example of what it looks like to stay anchored in truth. Or you’re navigating friendship, transformation, or uncertainty and wondering how to keep showing up with your whole heart. This episode is for anyone ready to stop performing and start being present. Connect with Me If this episode touched you, I’d love to hear from you.

What if your voice was a living prayer, and the Earth herself was listening? Holy, holy. This conversation is one of my all-time favorites. I'm joined by my dear sister Reya Manna, an Earth Song Guide, healer, and founder of the SongKeeper School, whose life is devoted to restoring our sacred relationship with the land and the Divine. From our very first meeting, it felt like an ancient remembering: two women who had walked the same Topanga trails, shared the same love for Jesus beyond dogma, and answered the same call to leave Los Angeles when spirit whispered, it's time. Together, we explore what it really means to wake down into the body, commune with nature as a living teacher, and live as instruments of the holy. Reya shares how listening to the Earth led her to create the SongKeeper School, how this summer's eclipse portal became a profound feminine initiation, and why devotion, song, and ceremony are medicine for these times. You'll hear about: We also talk about her brand-new seven-week offering, The Journey of the Song Keeper, now open for enrollment: a live, experiential program through The Shift Network that helps you reconnect with your voice as a sacred conduit of the Divine and sing Heaven onto Earth. You can learn more and join through the link above and here. We close with Reya’s unreleased song, “My Body Is a Church,” a transmission that will stay with you long after the final note. About Reya: Reya Manna, MDiv, MSW, CPC is an author, ceremonialist, life coach, musician, and activist devoted to helping others find their voice and live in harmony with the Earth. She holds Master's degrees in Social Work and Divinity, and has studied Indigenous culture, music, and esoteric spirituality across West Africa, Ireland, and North America. For over 25 years, Reya has integrated psychology, shamanism, yoga, energy and sound healing, and ancient wisdom traditions into a unique body of work that guides individuals and communities to heal, awaken, and embody their highest potential. She is the founder of the SongKeeper School: a sanctuary for sacred singing, Earth-honoring, and ritual, and the creator of Sing the World Awake!, a global children's project activating consciousness through music and mindfulness.

What if awakening isn’t about rising higher but softening into the body and allowing life to hold you? In this solo episode, I open up about what it really means to wake down into myself, to build capacity, stay present with what is, and lead from embodied truth in a season of deep change, endings, and new beginnings. Over the past year, I’ve been walking through profound initiation in my somatic and attachment training, in my relationship with God, in my business, and in my own body through the threshold of menopause. This journey has stripped away illusion and invited me into something far more real: presence over proving, discernment over doing, embodiment over striving. In this episode, I share how God became my business partner, how I’m learning to listen to the living language of my body, and why I’ve chosen to honor my nervous system’s truth even when it means being less visible. I also reflect on the shift from Embody Your Higher Purpose to From Insight to Embodiment and how this new foundation is shaping everything I create and share. Inside this episode, I explore: • Waking down to the body as the true path of ascension • Building capacity instead of chasing courage • How somatics reveals old imprints and restores self-trust • The sacred initiation of menopause and the healing power of homeopathy • Living in a personal Year One within a collective Year Nine • The discernment to share less publicly while expanding inwardly • Why connection with self, Source, Earth, and one another is what truly matters If you feel called to join me in this season of embodiment, I’d love to welcome you inside Soul Work Synergy, our living community of Gene Keys and somatic practice. And if you’re craving a deeper immersion, we have two final spaces open for Soul Essence, our upcoming retreat in Ojai, California, November 13 to 17. Come home to your body. Let presence be enough. Everything else unfolds from there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the deepest medicine you’re seeking has been alive within you all along? In this week’s Fire and Soul, I sit down with my dear sister Dr. Cass Naumann—doctor of Chinese medicine, ordained Daoist priestess, musician, and ceremonialist—for a profoundly moving conversation on the sacred alchemy of healing. Cass shares her remarkable journey from musician to healer, and how the initiations of grief, devotion, and spiritual cultivation shaped her path. We explore why ceremony matters so deeply in these times, how our bodies carry the keys to transformation, and what it means to activate our “inner pharmacy” of joy, presence, and connection. This is one of those deeply rich, heart-opening dialogues that feels like a ceremony in itself, and I'm so excited for you to experience it. 🌿 In this episode, you’ll hear us dive into: 📍 Connect with Dr. Cass Website: http://doctorcass.com Instagram: @doctor.cass 📚 Additional Resource If you feel called to explore the trainings at Trauma and Somatics—the organization Cass and I are currently students of and highly recommend—you can learn more at traumaandsomatics.com If you decide to move forward with a training, you’re welcome to use the code MICHELLESORRO for a significant savings.

What if the remedy to navigating our complex legal and financial systems has been hiding in plain sight within the very documents that created them? In this episode of Fire and Soul, I dive into equity jurisprudence with Michael Joseph and Phil Mederi of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship. This conversation builds on my explorations of spiritual sovereignty and self-governance, offering what may be the missing piece for those who’ve completed status correction — or are just beginning their journey toward lawful living. One of the most important clarifications here is that status correction is not required to walk the equity passageway. Equity is not jurisdictional or exclusive. It’s available to every living man and woman because it rests on one truth: we are the creditors of the system. All that’s required is learning how to express that through our signature and knowledge, compelling performance by the letter of the law. What's amazing, is that you don’t need to do anything first in order to access equity and begin freeing yourself from encumbrances. We explore the core distinctions between “legal” and “lawful,” revealing how equity operates as a private remedy rooted in natural justice. Phil walks us through Black’s Law Dictionary definitions that expose how the legal system distinguishes between substance (lawful/equitable) and form (legal/fictional). We discuss the historical context from 1871 through 1933 that shifted us from gold and silver currency to a debt-based system, and how understanding this history provides pathways to peaceful resolution of public charges and debts. We also cover the four pathways within Sacred Honor’s Foundation for Self Governance: national status passport, trifecta, allodial land, and equity passage. Our focus is equity as a tool for discharge, dissolution of public contracts, and peaceful inquiry — all designed to help individuals be “left alone” in the private while navigating public affairs with honor and integrity.

When life shatters, can love still lead? In this tender, truth-telling conversation, my guest Vickie Menendez — a mother who’s lost four children — shows us how grief can become a doorway to radiant, embodied living. In this episode of Fire and Soul, I welcome inspirational speaker, Soul Midwife, and author Vickie Menendez to explore what it really means to live again after unimaginable loss. Vickie shares the sacred threads of her story — from the passing of her children and father to the soul contracts, somatic healing, and spiritual devotion that carried her back to life. You’ll hear practical ways to be with grief in the body, create a “beautiful goodbye” visualization, and rebuild nervous-system capacity so presence and connection become possible again. This is a conversation for anyone standing in the in-between: tender, reverent, and full of quiet courage. I also share a glimpse of Soul Work Synergy, my newest monthly live community where we explore one Gene Key at a time through somatic practice and spiritual devotion. It’s a living rhythm of insight, integration, and spiritual embodiment that I can’t wait to invite you into.

In a world where manipulation masquerades as truth and spiritual bypassing poses as wisdom, how do we find our way back to what's real? I'm exploring this vital question with Aileen Henley, seer, spiritual architect, and creator of the Cosmic Compass. In this episode, you'll discover: How to recognize when you're living from mimicry versus your authentic frequency The difference between 3D reality and 4D virtual experiences, and why integration matters How discomfort is actually your doorway to growth and deeper self-awareness Why truth is a geometry and frequency you can learn to attune to The power of radical self-honesty in breaking free from societal conditioning How the Cosmic Compass game serves as a mirror for your inner wisdom Practical ways to choose which "version" of yourself is making decisions Why your energetic environment impacts your ability to access your truth The importance of play and authenticity in both life and business About my guest Aileen Henley: Aileen is a visionary guide who helps people reconnect with their inner compass through her revolutionary Cosmic Compass game and teachings.

Ever felt you're "too sensitive," "too intense," or can't squeeze yourself into the world's idea of normal? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Dain Heer, internationally renowned co-creator of Access Consciousness, to explore how your sensitivity is actually your greatest strength and doorway to miraculous living. Drawing parallels to my own work in somatic healing and embodied leadership, this conversation explores the possibility of healing trauma without having to relive the pain... an approach that may challenge traditional beliefs, but opens a doorway to curiosity and new perspectives. Dr. Dain shares how practical tools, presence, and energy can support spontaneous transformation without necessarily revisiting every wound. Discover why sensitive souls ("humanoids") are wired differently, and how to embrace your unique energetic blueprint to become the embodied leader you were born to be. Your sensitivity is your superpower. It's time to stop shrinking and start embracing the miracle of who you truly are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the thing you do 20,000 times a day without thinking is the key to healing chronic illness, integrating trauma, and unlocking divine connection? In this revelatory episode, we explore true healing through the body, not the mind. I drop in with somatic breathwork facilitator Jake Whan to discover why your nervous system, not your thoughts, determines your capacity to lead, serve, love, and prosper in these times of rapid evolution. Jake vulnerably shares his awakening journey from contemplating suicide at 24 while battling autoimmune disease, to now guiding over half a million people through breathwork and nervous system healing. His story is a profound reminder that your nervous system is your spiritual operating system. If you've felt stuck in old patterns despite doing "all the work," burning out from hustle culture, or sensing something blocking your next level of leadership, this conversation will land. In This Episode: Key Truths: Your emotions are the gateway—the nervous system is where awakening lands. We're not just healing ourselves; we're clearing collective karma. The breath hold is your bridge to Source consciousness. True safety begins within. Connect with Jake Whan: Free Community: Foundations of Ascension Training: Ascension University Retreats: One Heartbeat Retreats (waitlist for Dec/Jan) Free Workshop: Two-hour experience (details in show notes) For awakening leaders, creatives, and visionaries ready to move from disembodied hustle to embodied sovereignty.

What if sadness, anger, and fear weren’t problems—but sacred signals designed to lead you home? In this powerful and deeply resonant episode, I’m joined once again by beloved spiritual teacher and author Aaron Abke to explore the core teachings from his brand-new book, The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Surfer’s Guide to Freedom. Aaron shares the raw and vulnerable backstory of his own spiritual awakening—and how a two-week taste of "heaven" led to a crash back into ego and suffering that changed everything. From that journey came the discovery of the ego’s three core beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. And the realization that our emotional pain is actually a divine guidance system pointing to what’s out of alignment. Together, we explore how to alchemize suffering into spiritual clarity, and why the ego—far from being the enemy—is actually the teacher that helps us evolve. We explore: The three beliefs of ego and the emotional patterns they create Why sadness, anger, and fear are roadmaps—not roadblocks How awakening often intensifies suffering (at first) The ego as a divine tool, not a flaw to fix Emotional alchemy, spiritual embodiment, and the path to true freedom This is a deep and tender conversation on reclaiming your sovereignty, meeting your shadow with love, and remembering the truth of who you are. 🌀 Preorder Aaron’s book (releases August 12): http://aaronabke.com 📲 Connect: @aaronabke | @michellesorro ✨ Subscribe to Fire and Soul for more embodied truth and spiritual awakening every Tuesday.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Ashley Turner, LMFT — licensed psychotherapist, psychedelic therapist, and founder of the Metamorphosis Mentorship — to explore menopause as a profound psycho-spiritual initiation.

After seven years and nearly 300 episodes, I’m honoring the sacred evolution of Fire and Soul — and the soul-led journey that’s shaped not just me, but this entire community. This podcast wouldn’t exist without you — the listener who keeps showing up with an open heart and a courageous spirit. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found your way in, thank you. Fire and Soul is as much yours as it is mine. In this solo episode (the first in a new series I’m calling Embodied Ascension), I reflect on the lessons, initiations, and awakenings that have led me to this moment — including my current training to become a trauma-informed practitioner. This isn’t about adding another title. It’s about expanding my capacity to serve, lead, and love in these wild and holy times. Because the deeper we heal, the more we can hold the frequency of our highest vision. This is the path from karma to dharma — from survival to embodied purpose. ✨ Inside this episode: Fire and Soul’sEmbodied Ascension If you’re walking your own path of remembrance and rising — this space is a sanctuary for your becoming.
