Have you ever considered that the unhealed wounds and unresolved traumas of your past might be affecting not only your life but also the lives of your children and future generations? Midlife is often a time of reflection and awakening, and a perfect moment to take inventory of our lives and make meaningful changes. Today, I want to talk about understanding and breaking the cycle of inherited trauma to ensure that we leave a legacy of mental wellness, joy, and fulfillment. In this episode of "Soul Via Soul" with Jada Butler, we will explore the importance of mental health, the power of healing, and the incredible impact we can have on future generations by addressing our own wounds. I’ll also share my personal experiences and insights on how I learned how to recognize and heal these deep-seated wounds and create a legacy of health, happiness, and love for both myself and those who come after me.

We often think of success as accumulating more—more possessions, more achievements, more everything. But what if I told you that sometimes, having less can actually give you more? In this episode of "Soul Via Soul" with Jada Butler, I dive into the power of subtraction and share insights on how letting go of physical belongings has created more room for meaningful experiences and deeper connections. I also share how this minimalist approach has not only expanded our horizons but also improved our overall wellness. Will you join me on this unbecoming journey?

Six weeks ago, my husband and I sold everything to embrace the digital nomad lifestyle, sparking curiosity and questions from friends and family. Many wondered if we were having a midlife crisis, but our decision came from a deeper place—a feeling that something was missing despite having all the trappings of success. If you've ever felt unfulfilled despite having everything you thought you wanted, or if you're curious about what it takes to live a life of wonderment and joy, this podcast is for you.

Ever heard the phrase "midlife crisis"? Let's reframe that—it's not a crisis, it's a midlife awakening. Staying asleep to our true potential is what turns it into a crisis. Midlife, loosely defined as the period between enough life experience and not quite dead yet, is often a time of profound re-evaluation. We start questioning the status quo, realizing that we no longer feel aligned with our lives, lacking joy, passion, and purpose. This is where the awakening begins. In this episode of "Soul Via Soul" with Jada Butler, we will redefine the midlife crisis, awaken our true selves, heal old wounds, and create the lives we know we deserve.

Throughout our midlife journey, we may find ourselves confronted with one profound question: Who are we beyond the scope of parenthood? As our children grow older and become more independent, our roles as parents may shift, causing this transition to be both liberating and perplexing as we navigate newfound freedom while grappling with a sense of loss or uncertainty. In this episode of "Soul Via Soul" with Jada Butler, we dive deeper into the journey of self-discovery and the process behind reclaiming individual identity beyond being a mom.

Did you know that the mind and the body are connected? If we want to change something in our lives today, we have to be willing to turn inward and take a step backward to embrace our inner child. In this episode of Soul Via Sole, I take you through the steps needed to unbecome and unlearn the unhealthy patterns that cause us to live out of alignment. We all have the power to rewrite our story and create new patterns for our lives, but we first have to reprogram our subconscious and heal our childhood trauma. Will you join me on this unbecoming journey?

Do you ever get the feeling that you figured it all out? And then immediately, you’re asking yourself… “What the heck am I doing?” Turns out, most of us ride these waves throughout our whole adulthood. We are constantly faced with having to look inward and relearn ourselves. And honestly it all boils down to wanting to feel fulfillment in our lives. And incase no one told you- YOU have the RIGHT to feel fulfilled. Change is scary; I can speak on that firsthand, believe me! But change can be deeply rewarding and necessary for fulfillment. Listen in this week and let’s jump off the train of societal standards and jump into our souls. Let your soul take you on your next journey.

I keep having to remind myself that two things can be true at once. I can be terrified of my future and be so excited for this new adventure. Both are valid and both are SO real. I’m someone who loves breaking the social norms, but that doesn’t mean it’s been easy. I’ve learned that when I trust *myself,* things always work out. My inner voice has been speaking to me a lot lately and it’s time I listen to that voice. This doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. Change isn’t easy. But change can be so necessary to not only live life, but to love life. We have to stop letting other peoples’ opinions be outspoken by our inner voice. Give that voice a platform! Listen to yourself, trust yourself. Join me while I navigate for myself what that looks like.

Often when we hear the word ‘trauma’ we think the worst of the worst, and rightfully so. But what if I told you that it isn’t always the obvious that affects us day-to-day? Despite how great or bad our childhood is, it’s likely we all carry some wounds into our adult life. These wounds are a big part of why we are the way we are. Sometimes we don't even recognize these wounds because we’ve held them for so long. Now, as an adult, it’s your job to reach back to little you, and guide them through those wounds. Start by asking yourself, “Where does this [adult] behavior of mine stem from?” Join me this week in the beginning steps of identifying our wounds as we start to heal that little part of us.

This week, I am joined by my long-time friend and fellow therapist, Kate from Soulful Space Coaching. Kate and I talk about the concept of spring cleaning and how the spring is often a time of renewal and growth, but we can be taking inventory on the areas of our life that may need a bit of a decluttering year-round. Letting go of the things that no longer align, no longer serve you, and no longer add value to your lives will help you take those steps forward and break out of the physical, and emotional , clutter holding you back.

You never realize how much stuff you have until you’re faced with getting rid of it all. Let me introduce you to… The Swedish Death Cleanse. It’s not as scary as it sounds… well, it sorta is.. From when we move out on our own to our later adult years, we go through the stages of accumulating newer and nicer things. Now I’m learning how to part ways with those things that I grew a huge attachment to. I definitely didn’t realize that my stuff held so much of my happiness. But what I’ve learned is, none of these things come with us. So I’m on the path of decluttering my life and my soul. The Swedish Death Cleanse isn’t just for the people getting rid of everything. We’re all on our individual paths and we have to find what works for us. This is me and this is happening now. Follow along with all the ups and downs of this new path, as I keep figuring it out along the way.

Every vacation seems to feel a little life-changing. But let me tell you, this one did not fall short... We decided to take a trip somewhere we had never been. And now... we’re ready to call that place home. I talked last week about not being ready to die. And I’m not! But I needed to figure out what 'living' meant for me now. If we feel like we aren’t living to our potential where we are, why do why stay there? Seriously, think about this, figuratively and literally. Sometimes life speaks to you so clearly that you can’t ignore the message. This is a new beginning for me. I’m starting a journey of letting go of ‘things’ that feel like they hold me back. So if you're feeling like maybe it’s time for you to let go of something too..

So many times in my life, I have dived head first into whatever challenges lied in front of me. Deciding to leave my marriage, starting my own company, completing several Ironman races and then buying and renovating an old farmhouse that was to be our forever home. But after years of DIY-ing and creating an adventure out of building our home, one day it was complete. And just like that, it felt like our adventure was over… Little did I know it was just getting started. Listen and follow along as we dive into life’s next adventure.

The umbrella of ‘holistic wellness’ covers a vast array of topics. And if you’ve been in my world for awhile now, you’ve seen that I have really dove into each of them - because it’s all connected. But I have a confession to make… Along the way, there’s been a lot of changing of hats because there has been a lot of change in my personal life - which has been showing up similarly in my business. So… as we wrap up Season One here on the Soul via Sole podcast, I wanted to take a moment to be open, raw, and give you a bit of insight to what’s to come in Season Two.

We all know the things we should be doing in order to ‘be’ healthier…right? Eat better, move our bodies, take some time to rest, etc. But what I’ve found in my years as a medical and mental health professional, is the common underlying cause of ‘why’ we struggle and the one thing that continues to stand in the way… our worth. Seems simple right? Love yourself first, and the rest will fall into place. But truly loving yourself, and valuing your worth often comes with it’s fair share of inner child work, removing limiting beliefs, and spending time reconnecting to your inner you and your deepest desires. Join me this week as we chat a bit more about how the way you view yourself can get in the way of every health and wellness goal you are trying to achieve.

Loving ourselves is the cornerstone for cultivating and attracting healthy love in our lives. I, personally, took the the long-way around to get to this point in my life. And while I’m grateful for the lessons learned, so much of what I teach today is stuff I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to save her from years of having to undo layers of self-doubt, limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors and feelings of unworthiness. Join me this Valentine’s Day as we chat about the importance of self-love in cultivating healthy relationships. Want to get all the latest tools and resources?

We don’t often talk about self-love and wellness in the same breath. Why is that? Why do we often focus more on the exterior signs of ‘healthy’ and ‘well’ while overlooking the check-engine lights going off inside our bodies? Self love is, in my opinion, the root of establishing true health and wellness. Join me this week as we chat about the connection between health, wellness, and self-love.
