134 : Why Try Seat of the Soul: A Practice for Living A Purposeful Life

Your mind can make fear sound like logic, but your body tells the truth in seconds. Polly shares a solo, real-time personal transformation experiment she calls the “Seat of the Soul” practice: noticing when she’s operating from a fear-driven personality and learning how to return to the calmer, truer awareness underneath it. It’s not about deleting your traits or becoming “perfect” it’s about finding authentic power, where your personality becomes a vehicle for your soul.Along the way, we connect four powerful frameworks that surprisingly agree with each other: Gary Zukav’s distinction between love and fear (and his idea that intention is the fundamental creative act), Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys shadow-to-gift spectrum (impatience to patience, doubt to inquiry), Joe Hudson’s Art of Accomplishment “welcoming practice” for emotions, and the Buddhist map of the five hindrances with the RAIN method. The common thread is somatic awareness: locate the emotion in the body, stop identifying with it, and let awareness do the transforming.Polly also gets personal about three default patterns she’s watching closely: rushing, self-doubt, and comparison. You’ll hear a childhood story that reshapes scarcity, plus practical ways she’s changing daily decisions with gratitude, a “flow zone” approach to work, and anchor questions like “What would love do?” If you’ve been stuck in hustle, people pleasing, or defensiveness, this gives you a grounded way back to yourself.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s been living in overdrive, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
