In this episode of Soul Decodes Tia Jolie, Sarah and their guest, Jess, talk about the phenomenon of depression. Depression is a widespread epidemic and this show attempts to explore alternative healing methods beyond conventional pharmaceuticals. Jess shares her transformative recovery after suffering severe depression for over twenty years. Despite trying therapy, multiple medications, and hospitalization, she remained emotionally numb and robotic on SSRIs for ten years. The medications managed symptoms without healing, requiring constant adjustments while keeping her dependent on pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Phillips explains the critical gut-brain connection, noting that serotonin production originates primarily in the gut. When digestive health is compromised, the body cannot produce adequate serotonin, leading to depression. Modern medicine rarely investigates gut health, dietary factors, or nutrient deficiencies when treating depression. SSRIs attempt to preserve minimal serotonin by preventing reabsorption, but cannot create what the body isn't producing. Holistic approaches focus on building natural capacity through proper nutrition, probiotics, and natural compounds.

At the age of thirty-nine, having exhausted conventional options, Jess tried ayahuasca, a plant-based medicine used ceremonially for centuries. After properly weaning off medications, she participated in a supervised ceremony that provided immediate and lasting healing. Three years later, she remains depression-free and can finally experience genuine emotions and gratitude.

A central theme of this episode is the need for medical system change. The pharmaceutical model profits from dependence rather than cures. Medical professionals rarely discuss nutrition, lifestyle factors, or natural alternatives, immediately reaching for prescriptions instead. The hosts advocate for openness to multiple healing modalities, recognizing what works varies individually.

The episode's ultimate message is hope. Don’t give up. Depression needn't be a life sentence. Multiple pathways exist beyond conventional pharmaceuticals, and people deserve information about all options. Whether through holistic medicine, addressing gut health, or exploring supervised plant medicines, healing is possible. The conversation encourages remaining open-minded, continuing to search, and sharing information widely, as we cannot know who might be silently suffering or benefit from learning alternative approaches to mental wellness.

Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri welcome Mike Solis to the Treehouse Studio for Episode 63 where an unguarded conversation about transformation and the courage to live differently opens up.

Mike begins the conversation by recounting his happy childhood experiences which were followed at age 17 by the realization that despite healthy outward appearances ‘meaning’ was lacking in his life’s experience. Mike was not depressed so much as curious – and that curiosity led him to study the resurgence of plant medicines such as ayahuasca – not as a superficial fix but as a disciplined approach to answering life’s greatest existential question: Who am I?

Mike walks the listeners of Soul Decodes through his initial psychedelic experiences which helped him process his complex relationship with his father that ultimately lead to a new and vital freedom he and his father experience today.

The dialogue moves between personal reflection and broader vision. Mike speaks about the quiet work of integration admitting that one of the hardest aspects of any awakening is returning home and living in a society which may not share his expanded awareness. Sarah reinforces that perspective, noting that seeking an ‘expanded life’ can often be a lonely experience but solitude is its healthy counterpart.

Tia Jolie connects Mike’s reflections to Avalonia, her developing concept for an Earth Angel Project clinic dedicated to safe, trauma-informed plant-medicine therapy called ibogaine. She describes an environment where veterans, first responders, and high-stress professionals could receive care rooted in both science and spirit. Mike responds that such a space would meet a need he sees repeatedly: People yearning for transformation but lacking structure or community to support it.

Listening to Tia Jolie outline the neurochemical reset potential of ibogaine and the emotional purgation associated with ayahuasca, Mike relates how people he knows have sought those experiences to interrupt destructive ego-generated patterns. What resonates most for him is the idea that such medicine demands humility and the willingness to surrender. He cautions that despite some profound and even harrowing moments, the sacred journey always ends with a positive/revelatory takeaway.

Throughout the episode, Mike’s calm sincerity grounds the conversation as he continues to open up about some of the specific encounters that occurred while journeying. He reminds listeners that healing is not about escaping the world but re-entering it with a broader awareness. By the end of the show, his journey stands as an example of integration in motion—proof that genuine change begins when we stop ‘performing’ and start participating in our own spiritual evolution.

This episode of Soul Decodes features hosts Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri who welcome their first-ever guest, Jim Young, a telecommunications salesperson. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, blending serious spiritual discussions with humor and personal stories.

Jim shares his background in sales, including previous work in cybersecurity and senior living communities. The discussion delves into his Christian faith journey—he was raised Catholic and Lutheran but found deeper meaning when he was baptized in 1998 after studying the Bible. Jim believes the Bible is God's word and that salvation comes exclusively through Jesus Christ, while Sarah presents a more pantheistic view, believing God exists in everything and that all souls are ultimately saved.

The conversation explores the concept of hell, with Jim explaining traditional Christian views and mentioning a book called 23 Minutes in Hell. Sarah challenges this, questioning why a loving God would eternally punish people for not believing a certain doctrine.

The episode takes lighter turns with discussions about AI's role in society, humor, and laughter's health benefits. Dr. Phillips explains the physiological benefits of laughter, including endorphin release and improved breathing. They share funny personal stories, including Sarah's uncontrollable laughter at her father's funeral, Tia Jolie's childhood mischief shooting spitballs in church, and various fart-related anecdotes.

Jim reveals he's preparing for a "Dancing Under the Stars" fundraiser for New Beginnings, a nonprofit helping homeless families—a cause personal to him as he experienced homelessness with his young daughter years ago. He also sings for the Lake County Choir and performs "Amazing Grace" during the episode.

Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize celebrating life, maintaining humor during difficulties, and respecting different perspectives while staying true to one's beliefs. Despite their theological differences, both women and Jim always maintain a respectful dialogue, demonstrating that friendship can transcend doctrinal disagreements.

Dr. Tia Jolie and Sarah Tirri kick off this episode of Soul Decodes with a real life story that quickly pivots from a messy domestic issue to profound philosophical territory. Sarah recounts the chaos that erupted when raccoons (or something suspicious) ransacked her garbage cans, spreading 400 pages of an old manuscript, Styrofoam, and food scraps all over her driveway. While tidying up the mess (and getting a good hamstring workout!), a man in a truck pulled up—a raccoon catcher, complete with a caged raccoon. This suspicious timing immediately raised a red flag for Sarah and her husband: was this an example of the Hegelian Dialectic operating at a hyper-local level? The women explore the unsettling idea that some entrepreneurs (or politicians and governments) intentionally create the problem to sell the solution, defining the fine line between a clever hustle and a "dastardly" theft.

The conversation then moves metaphysical, as Sarah asks Tia Jolie if she had somehow summoned this "trash" and chaos into her life due to concepts of karma and manifestation. This reinforces the core message that true entrepreneurs must focus on solving existing problems, maintaining integrity, and not creating new ones.

In a major segment, Tia Jolie shares valuable insights from her recent experience at a career day for high school students, wearing her flight suit to showcase her diverse career as a military, corporate, and airline pilot. She stresses the crucial takeaway she delivered: Do not let anyone tell you you can’t do it. The women discuss how framing big dreams—like traveling to 50 countries or earning high captain wages ($365 per hour)—successfully ignited ambition, particularly among the young women who doubled back for more advice.

Finally, the women encourage listeners to practice paying it forward (like Sarah supporting a young lemonade hustler) because giving is inherently receiving. At the end of the episode, Sarah teases her newly published book, "A New Religion,” that she will be reading in the next episode.

Episode 60 opens with Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri celebrating a sweet milestone—sixty episodes and a carrot cake on the table. From the first minutes, the scene feels like Soul Decodes at its best: grounded, playful, and quietly profound. Tia Jolie shares a Florida fall garden update—brassicas, tomatoes, radishes, and of course carrots—contrasting Michigan beginnings with Florida’s growing rhythm. The homestead garden becomes a living metaphor: seeds start in trays, roots push through, and when the timing and conditions match, growth happens naturally.

That seed talk widens into intention and manifestation. The pair note how frustration lowers the field; when we live “as if,” the quantum mirror answers in kind. The women revisit familiar spiritual ground through a fresh lens, reframing the Garden of Eden story: the awareness of good and evil was not a moral fall but a courageous gift—humans choosing to confront darkness as part of growth. The conversation then explores the energetics of living things via imaging tech that can “see” a leaf’s field. Sarah and Tia Jolie land on a comforting insight: the essence can persist even when the physical form is altered.

Sarah previews current her writing project: a distillation of philosophy, spirituality, and quantum science into an airtight framework. From there, the women pivot into the everyday craft of conversation: ask open-ended questions, let people complete their thoughts, and don’t need agreement to create value. Respecting time matters, too; both emphasize punctuality and clarity in collaborative work.

As entrepreneurs, the women close the loop with a practical habit—post-action reviews that quickly list what worked and what could be improved upon—pairing soul talk with real-world execution. Episode 60 ends as it began: with gratitude. Seven years in the Treehouse on Phillips Island and a growing audience remind them that small acts—watering seedlings, asking better questions, honoring time—scale into a life well lived. The cake is a symbol, but the substance is this: keep planting, keep noticing, and let wisdom root deeper with each conversation.

In Episode 59, Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and author Sarah Tirri open inside the Treehouse Studio under a blanket of fog from two Atlantic storms, using the day’s weather as a gateway to talk about how climate—and our inner climate—shifts. The conversation stays grounded: yes, weather changes; yes, seasons swing; and while big narratives can feel chaotic, personal agency still matters.

The women revisit fundamentals of the carbon–oxygen exchange in plain language. Plants thrive on Co2 and human beings need oxygen, and photosynthesis bridges us. Rather than panic, Tia Jolie invites listeners to think clearly about cycles, cause-and-effect, and how to respond at the household level. Aviation experience adds practical context: during Mount St. Helens, military pilots were briefed on volcanic ash and flight safety—real proof that atmospheric conditions carry tangible consequences.

From there, the women pivot into resilience. What can families actually do if power or water systems wobble? Tia Jolie walks through accessible frameworks: diversify energy inputs (sun, wind, water), consider simple hydrogen concepts like electrolysis, and, when possible, use and store power locally. Water gets equal weight—portable purification tech, smarter irrigation, and paying attention to rain patterns can cover gaps without overcomplicating life.

Soil health becomes another pillar. Instead of ripping ground bare, build living soil. Food forests, no-till approaches, and the mycelial networks beneath our feet create cooperation among plants, conserving moisture and nutrients. Real-life examples make it feel doable: bananas and lemongrass on the “rainbow row,” sugar cane down the back road, and neighbors who largely “eat off their land.”

Florida’s geography gets a friendly cameo: central ridge elevation, tree canopy “microclimate shade,” and honest flood talk—even joking about rubber dinghies and helicopter roofs—turn preparedness from fear into foresight. The through-line is practical wisdom: observe nature, align with it, and design small systems that serve you when the forecast turns. By the episode’s end, listeners have a calm, actionable lens for weather, energy, water, and food—plus the confidence to start where they stand.

In Episode 58 of Soul Decodes, Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri take listeners into an honest exploration of what it means to “play it safe” in life, and the deeper costs that choice can carry. They begin by acknowledging how easy it is to settle into patterns of security—jobs, relationships, or routines that feel predictable—yet leave the soul restless and unfulfilled.

Both Tia Jolie and Sarah share personal reflections on moments when they faced the decision to stay comfortable or to step into unknown territory. Their candid stories reveal that while choosing safety can sometimes protect against loss, it often closes the door on growth, deeper connection, and authentic living. The conversation reminds listeners that safety is not always safe when it limits the unfolding of true purpose.

As the dialogue unfolds, they highlight the role of fear—how it disguises itself as wisdom, convincing us that stability is always the right choice. Tia Jolie points out that while fear urges us to avoid risk, the soul often calls us to take courageous leaps. Sarah echoes this by emphasizing that vulnerability, though uncomfortable, is the gateway to transformation and a richer human experience.

Listeners are encouraged to recognize the trade-offs of safety: the missed opportunities, the unexplored relationships, and the parts of themselves that never emerge when they play small. Both hosts stress that courage doesn’t mean reckless decisions but rather trusting intuition when it points toward change.

The episode closes with a powerful reminder that life’s deepest rewards—love, creativity, purpose—rarely exist within comfort zones. Instead, they are found when we allow ourselves to be brave, even in uncertainty. In true Soul Decodes fashion, the conversation blends practical wisdom with soulful insight, offering listeners a heartfelt invitation: to notice where they are playing it safe and to consider what might open if they chose courage instead.

Soul Decodes opens with co-hosts Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri welcoming listeners from Central Florida and resetting the premise: this is an unscripted space where “decoding the soul” means decoding the whole human experience. No answer is precluded, and even charged topics become invitations to ask, “What does this mean for my journey?”

The women wade into a timely question: how should the internet handle content? Rather than censoring creators, they consider an approach that empowers audiences. Using AI, a listener (or a parent/educator) could set preferences—PG-13, grade-school safe, topic filters—so content is tuned to the receiver. That flips the logic from top-down moderation to user-guided curation, without throttling creators. The practical takeaway is agency: shape your intake, don’t muzzle the source!

With that freedom comes a warning. Over-tailoring risks confirmation bias—seeking only what proves us right. The hosts encourage listeners to remain porous to new ideas even as they personalize feeds. It’s an elegant balance: harness AI to align content to values while staying curious enough to grow.

Sarah introduces her AI assistant, Desmond, alongside Tia Jolie’s Rosie, quipping about “mating” them. Humor aside, the point is serious: AI can be a hands-on ally for learning, filtering, and workflow—as long as humans keep steering.

In the episode’s reflective close, Tia Jolie shares a dream—revived by a friend—about private aviation and eventually stewarding a community with a fleet of planes. Sarah recalls early conversations and underscores how this vision interlocks with Tia Jolie’s broader mission. Importantly, it’s named as a dream and a trajectory, not a current fact; its value to listeners lies in modeling how to hold a large calling with patience, alignment, and trust in timing.

Why it matters: Listeners leave with a practical reframing of online life—use AI to curate, not censor—plus a nudge to pursue their own big dreams with grounded optimism.
