Jeff Kober, Actor/ Vedic Meditation Instructor - Ep 4

Season 2, Episode 1 with Lyndsey Scott

What does it mean to let a song hold you when words aren't enough? In this opening episode of Season 2, host Lisa Littlebird sits down in person with her longtime friend and songleading collaborator Lyndsey Scott, who is supporting this 2026 season of Wholehearted Chorus. Over more than a decade of friendship forged in the fires of the Midwest singing community, Lisa and Lyndsey have shaped a shared philosophy: that song is medicine, that it moves us from complexity into presence, and that it can resource us for the hard and beautiful work of showing up in the world. This season of A Song for All of Us holds the question: what is mine to do? In this episode, Lisa and Lyndsey share two of Lyndsey’s songs that are resourcing Wholehearted Chorus this season: "Earth You Hold Us" — a prayer born around a campfire at Joshua Tree in preparation for justice work — and the deeply calming "As I Relax", a song seeded by a single affirmation and designed to help us soften into the uncertainty we all carry. Live well. Sing more.

John Halcyon Styn, Gratitude Enthusiast & Fiancé - Ep. 6

In this heart-centered episode of “A Song For All of Us", Wholehearted Chorus founder Lisa Littlebird is joined by her fiancé John “Halcyon” Styn for a raw and uplifting conversation about love, growth, vulnerability, and gratitude in relationship. Together they explore what it means to “stay in harmony” — both literally (as choir members) and emotionally, through the everyday work of partnership. This episode explores the podcast theme of bridging hearts across difference through the lens of intimate partnership. (For more about the theme of the full podcast series, listen to the short podcast introduction.) They discuss the value of radical honesty, gratitude practices and how harmony in love isn’t about never clashing — it’s about learning to listen and come back together. The episode weaves music, laughter, and spiritual insight — including Lisa singing her original “Bridging Heart Song.” Through playful humor and deep reflection, Lisa and John model how authentic communication, gratitude, and commitment can transform relationships into spiritual practice.

Alexis Davis, Energy Worker & Guide - Ep. 5

In this intimate dialogue, Lisa Littlebird sits down with friend and Wholehearted Chorus member Alexis Davis to explore the 31st Gene Key — the evolutionary path from arrogance to true humility as a pathway to healing collective division. Together they unpack how real leadership emerges not from perfection or performance, but from courageous self-honesty. Lisa and Alexis dive into how our hidden parts can be met with compassion instead of shame, and how singing together reveals our truest vibration — the part of us that can’t hide behind words. They examine the ego’s subtler forms of humility, the trap of righteousness, and the liberating power of curiosity, self-forgiveness, and relational interdependence. This episode is a masterclass in heart-led growth: from self-flagellation to self-acceptance, from convincing to emanating love, from independence to sacred interdependence. The conversation closes with a live rendition of one of Wholehearted Chorus’s 2025 season songs, “Humble”, by Chhaya I-chèle — a collective prayer in song reminding us that when we bow low in humility, we lift each other up.

Jeff Kober, Actor/ Vedic Meditation Instructor - Ep 4

In this heart-opening conversation, choir leader and podcast host Lisa Littlebird sits down with actor and Vedic meditation teacher Jeff Kober to ask how we move from polarization toward lasting harmony. Referencing the Gene Keys (especially Key 17 on opinions → farsightedness → omniscience, and Key 51 on trust) as a compass, they explore the fear-driven “survival self,” tribalism, and the ego’s twin traps of smallness and grandiosity. Jeff shares how daily meditation practice has helped him dis-identify from fear, and he shares a story from the stage about leaping into the unknown and discovering real-time trust. Together they reframe spiritual practice as process over product, anchored in service and community—where a shared purpose creates a field that lifts everyone. The episode closes with “When We Sing” by Olivia Fern—an invitation to feel, receive, and join the chorus. https://jeff-kober.com  https://asongforallofus.org Wholehearted Chorus Concerts: San Diego, CA Tuesday, October 14, 7:30-9pm at the Joan Kroc Center in San Diego Wednesday, October 22nd, 7:30-9pm at the Golden State Theater in Monterey, CA
