What Death Taught Me About Living Fully with Kym Coco

In this heartfelt and deeply grounding conversation, Tina sits down with Kym Coco — author, yogi, teacher, and creator of Swagtail — to explore what death, caregiving, loss, and transition can teach us about living more fully. Kym shares the story of caring for her late husband, Steve, during the final years of his life, and how that experience deepened her relationship with presence, resilience, nervous system regulation, and conscious choice. She also opens up about writing his memoir, Miracle on the Mountainside, and the healing journey that followed as she set out on a year-long golf adventure in his honor, finding structure, spaciousness, and a new relationship with herself along the way. Together, Tina and Kym explore grief, identity shifts, the healing power of nature, writing as a tool for self-awareness, and the importance of creating a life that reflects what truly matters now, not someday. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that love and loss are not opposites, that choosing life is an ongoing practice, and that we each have the power to meet change with more grace, curiosity, and intention. In this episode, we explore: * What death can teach us about living fully * Caregiving, grief, and choosing presence in life’s hardest seasons * How to regulate the nervous system during stress, uncertainty, and transition * The healing power of nature, breath, and reflective writing * Why structure can be essential during identity shifts and loss * Kym’s year-long golf journey and what travel taught her about confidence, trust, and joy * How to live more intentionally without waiting for a crisis * The difference between doing things from obligation versus joy * Why small changes can create profound momentum * What it means to be sovereign and fully own your power CONNECT WITH KYM COCO Website: https://Swagtail.com [https://Swagtail.com] Instagram: @Swagtailyoga Miracle on the Mountainside: https://swagtail.com/miracle-on-the-mountainside-book/ [https://swagtail.com/miracle-on-the-mountainside-book/] CONNECT WITH TINA: Website: https://thesovereignsoul.co [https://thesovereignsoul.co] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann [https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/ [https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann [https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann] ✨ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share with someone who needs to hear this message!

In this rich, soulful, and deeply needed conversation, Tina sits down with Morgan Rich — men’s coach, facilitator, author of The Invitation Beyond: Reclaiming Healthy Masculinity, and founder of The Beyonders — to talk about emotional presence, integrity, purpose, relationships, and what it means to be truly sovereign.

From Survival to Sanctuary with Yvonne Winkler

In this deeply honest and nourishing conversation, Tina sits down with Yvonne Winkler — coach, writer, podcast host, and author of Freedom Seeker: Reclaiming Feminine Wisdom — to explore what it really looks like to come home to yourself after years of over-functioning, overworking, and living in survival mode. Yvonne shares the powerful story of her life, from growing up in former communist East Germany, to navigating the pressures of achievement and performance in the West, to confronting burnout, addiction, emotional pain, and the deep inner reckoning that eventually led her back to herself. Together, Tina and Yvonne explore the journey from urgency to exhale, from self-abandonment to self-compassion, and from external pressure to inner sanctuary. This conversation is for any woman who feels like she has been carrying too much for too long. It is a reminder that stillness is not failure, softness is not weakness, and your life may not be falling apart — you may simply be standing at a sacred threshold. In this episode, we explore: * What it means to go from survival to sanctuary * How burnout, overachievement, and emotional suppression live in the body * Yvonne’s story of fleeing East Germany and how that shaped her nervous system and identity * The role of addiction, courage, and radical self-honesty in healing * How writing her memoir became a path to wholeness * Why midlife is often a sacred threshold, not a crisis * Emotional safety, nervous system healing, and the importance of rest * Small, accessible ways to regulate your nervous system and come back to yourself * Why the world will not fall apart if you take one minute to breathe CONNECT WITH YVONNE WINKLER Website: https://yvonnewinkler.com/the-way/ [https://yvonnewinkler.com/the-way/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yvonnewinkler_ [https://www.instagram.com/yvonnewinkler_] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonnewinklersoulmentor [https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonnewinklersoulmentor] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewildandwiseshow [https://www.youtube.com/@thewildandwiseshow] CONNECT WITH TINA: Website: https://thesovereignsoul.co [https://thesovereignsoul.co] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann [https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/ [https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann [https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann] ✨ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share with someone who needs to hear this message!

Why Your Best Clients Can’t Find You with Joanna Ingram

What if the clients draining your energy aren’t a pricing problem… but a messaging problem? In this episode of The Sovereign Soul Podcast, Tina sits down with Joanna Ingram to talk about what really happens when high-achieving women leave corporate, start a soul-led business, and accidentally rebuild the same burnout patterns they thought they escaped. Joanna shares her journey from London advertising executive to brand messaging consultant, pranic healer, and breathwork facilitator, and reveals the turning point that changed everything: realizing she had become a worse boss to herself than any boss she had in corporate. Together, Tina and Joanna explore the deeper connection between identity, energetics, Human Design, and messaging, and why premium, self-led clients respond to clarity, resonance, and future-focused communication. If you’ve been overdelivering, overexplaining, or attracting clients who leave you depleted, this episode will help you see exactly why and what to shift. In this episode, we cover: * Joanna’s transition from corporate advertising to soul-led entrepreneurship * The burnout cycle that follows many coaches out of corporate * How Human Design helped Joanna own her zone of genius * Why “alignment” is often misunderstood in business * The real reason energy-draining clients keep showing up * The difference between low-frequency and high-frequency messaging * How to attract self-led, empowered, premium clients * Joanna’s framework for messaging: positioning, authority, and conversion CONNECT WITH JOANNA INGRAM Website: https://joannaingram.com [https://joannaingram.com] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjo.ingram [https://www.instagram.com/iamjo.ingramLinkedIN] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannaingramconsulting/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannaingramconsulting/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ingram.jo [https://www.facebook.com/ingram.jo] Joanna’s Podcasts Goals With Soul Podcast: https://podfollow.com/goals-with-soul [https://podfollow.com/goals-with-soulThe] The Soulful Catalyst Podcast: https://podfollow.com/soulful-catalyst-podcast [https://podfollow.com/soulful-catalyst-podcast] CONNECT WITH TINA: Website: https://thesovereignsoul.co [https://thesovereignsoul.co] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann [https://www.facebook.com/iamtinaleann] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/ [https://www.instagram.com/iamtinaleann/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaleannerdmann/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann [https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.tina.leann] ✨ If you loved this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share with someone who needs to hear this message!
