I am a non-binary individual who has been on a self-healing path for the past 26 years. My birthplace is McKenzie, Tennessee, USA. On that path, I have had the grace of attaining a bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee at Martin in English with a minor in Religious Studies in 2001. In 2011, I received my Master's in Education with a minor in Instruction & Curriculum Leadership. In 2019, I was ordained as a Minister in Jackson, Tennessee.
What inspired you to start SoulFlwr LLC and serve others through sacred service and trauma coaching?
It was very difficult on my path to find people and information that could help me in certain areas of my self-healing journey. So I became who I needed to be on my path so that I could contribute value to those who need guidance as I did. Being someone from a low socioeconomic status and a bipoc individual, I desire to be an example of someone who managed to overcome the trauma and challenges of their past. Our mission is to be an example of personal transformation that is rooted in integrity, humility, and non-judgment through self-leadership.
Who do you primarily help, and what struggles do your clients often face when they first come to you?
SoulFwr seeks to assist those on a personal growth journey through a liberal education of self through mastery learning. Many of our clients come to us when they are at some point on their path where they need guidance for either beginning or resuming their own healing and transformation. We are particularly interested in individuals who are ostracized in some way. Everyone has a right to exist.
What makes your approach to healing and personal transformation unique from traditional coaching?
It is unique because we teach that self-discovery is achieved through mastery learning. This is educating ourselves about ourselves at our own pace, using our own unique intelligences and learning modalities with integrity, compassion, and non-judgment.
How does trauma coaching help women reclaim power and move past feelings of shame or being stuck?
Trauma coaching teaches us a willingness to see our experiences from a different perspective that grants us self-compassion and self-forgiveness. This, in turn, empowers us to make changes in small, practical ways that lead to big breakthroughs regarding the truth of our worthiness to exist and to thrive. We teach them that will, practice, and consistency with integrity and compassion produce better transformational results in the long term.
What results do clients experience after working with you through programs like The New Tomorrow Collective?
Our program assists our clients in developing themselves instead of relying on others. We use the analogy of teaching others how to fish instead of just giving it to them so they can be dependent upon us. They ultimately gain the confidence that they can successfully take care of themselves on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
How do mindfulness practices and meditation support emotional healing in your work?
Mindfulness and meditation support emotional healing by assisting us in becoming more aware of how we feel. That awareness alone helps us to release emotions that have been trapped inside for long periods of time. This breaks us out of cycles of suffering like guilt, shame, and self-abusive behaviors like addiction.
Can you share a story that illustrates the transformation one of your clients has had through your guidance?
We had a client last year who struggled with self-confidence, crippling anxiety, and shame due to financial and relational issues. She would have anxiety attacks that debilitated her out of nowhere. After working with her for a few weeks, we were not only able to assist her in becoming more emotionally balanced, but she began her personal spiritual practice again and has been steadily improving ever since.
How do your certifications in life coaching, shadow work mastery, and spiritual education shape the work you do?
I feel that these certifications help to build our credibility and are a part of the proof of our journey. People want proof that you know what you are talking about as a credible authority, and I respect that. For me, they are proof of my passion for sacred service to others and my desire to add value to everyone that we encounter. We will continue to upgrade and update ourselves to remain relevant in our sacred service.
When someone feels overwhelmed by their past, what is the first step you help them take toward healing?
I would assist by holding sacred space, affirming their value, then leading them through some of our self-forgiveness, compassion, and mindfulness resources.
Our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Shawn Cross, has a workbook about healing from parental wounds for those of us with challenging pasts with family. It is available on Amazon.
What advice would you give someone who is ready to break cycles and create a new tomorrow but doesn’t know where to begin?
I would inform them that their readiness is the beginning. Next, I would congratulate them for contacting us because that shows further intention to create a new tomorrow. Readiness with intention and focus matters way more than we are led to believe. Their next step is to seek opportunities that keep their intention as their main priority and focus. I would then suggest the tools we have acquired that could aid them in providing more resilience and structure that builds their confidence. One of those tools is the books that we have written about this very subject. It is called Unbound Existence by LNPJ (me), and it is available on the Balboa Press, Ingram Spark, and Amazon sites.
We also have a free podcast on YouTube called SoulGarden. Our channel is called soulflwr444. On our podcast, we have informal discussions about personal development, spirituality, and various spiritual practices and tools that we have discovered over the years.
For readers who are ready to transform their lives, what is the best way to get in touch with you or book their first discovery call?
Our emails are latashanphillips@soulflwrllc.com, shawn.cross@soulflwrllc.com, and soulflwrinc@gmail.com. They can also contact us at my website for a discovery call.
