For the Love of Our Children with Jabbarah-Andrea Jacobson

Jabbarah gives voice to the little ones and allows them the space they need to help heal our world.Jabbarah (Andrea Jacobson) believes we are each a unique and needed note harmonizing the grand orchestration of the universe, and that life becomes more beautiful as we learn to recognize, appreciate, and bring forth one another's unique notes.Drawing from more than 20 years as a pediatric occupational therapist, the wisdom of I AM Heart, The Nurtured Heart Approach®, and her own lived experience as a deeply sensitive and intense person, Jabbarah developed Heart-Fueled Tools to help people see themselves, one another, and the world through a different lens. Rather than asking, "What's wrong?" she invites a different question: "What is this child, this person, or this moment perceiving that we haven't yet noticed?"Heart-Fueled Tools creates a shared language for recognizing, understanding, and working with what lives beneath behavior. Through playful puppet stories, Heart Breaths, and practical experiences, Jabbarah helps children and the adults who love them make sense of big feelings, strengthen connection, and cultivate greatness by recognizing the unique note within themselves and one another.Her hope is simple: to help retune the human conversation, one relationship at a [email protected] @HeartFueledToolsYou Tube Channel: @HeartFueledTools - Heart-Powered Breath Videoscarriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

Soul Connection with John and Phyllis Simonetta
Send us Fan MailJohn and Phyllis Simonetta didn't arrive at their calling quickly or easily. John spent three decades in corporate finance. Phyllis wove her way through counseling, teaching, and healing arts. In 2012, a personal crisis became the turning point that launched both of them into a deep journey of awakening — navigating parenthood, financial fear, job loss, anxiety and depression, spiritual emergence, and ultimately a guided move to Asheville, North Carolina, where they now live and do their work. They lead sacred couples retreats that restore union through ancestral healing, somatic movement, nature, and the living transmission of their own transformed partnership. Their story is one of two ordinary people who kept saying yes to the soul's call — even when it asked them to let go of everything familiar.*Please excuse the hiccup in John’s story.

The Damage of Name Calling and Moral Superiority
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Carrie talks about a recent podcast she listened bubbled up a wound about name calling, division, moral superiority, the political climate and the destruction of humankind. Putting people in boxes is creating such division, and devastation and squashing the human spirit. Name calling is foolish and infantile. With 8 billion people on this planet, there are 8 billion ways to experience life, physically, spirituality, sexuality, emotionality, mentally. We do not get to decide how anyone’s lived experience should make them think or act?When are we going to stop pushing people to live in the way WE think they should live? True equality lies outside any box and any political ideology. True love is boundless, expansive and healing. Give it some thought and ask yourself, am I exuding love, peace and joy or am I stuck in and spreading fear, guilt and shame? carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

Donna Stares shares her story of remembering, reckoning and resolving trauma and how it has led her to become an Energy Medicine Practitioner. A beautiful healing journey to a beautiful healing guide!It has been an honor to receive the teachings that have led me to this point. The years have been filled with a yearning to understand many traditions such as First Nations, Buddhism, Christian Mysticism, and Shamanism. Since the age of 50, the practice has intensified with shamanic teachings from Peru and a series of healings to the community with Sacred Sisters (Sisters of the Dancing Deer).A few years ago, a trip to Peru was highlighted by travel with a female shaman who took us to the peak of Salcantay mountain, where ceremony was held. I have also traveled with healer and Peace Keeper Mandaza to Zimbabwe and the Kalahari, where the ancestors and existing healers were honored. A journey of the heart. Other sacred journeys have included Hawaii, New Zealand and last spring Ecuador. These trips have had a lasting impact on my life...Formal training includes becoming an Energy Medicine practitioner having received the medicine wheel teachings with the Four Winds Society, Therapeutic touch and Reiki. I am also an artist working in Chinese Brush, water colors, and most recently, alcohol inks.

Full Body Healing with Leslie Brooks
Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to heal, face your trauma and find peace, acceptance and strength beyond trauma. Leslie Brooks shares her childhood story and how she used that trauma to create a thriving purpose to help others to heal from their struggles. Hi, I’m Leslie Brooks. If you’re here, chances are you’re tired of carrying everyone else while abandoning yourself. You’ve probably done the therapy, you know your patterns, and yet—you still freeze when it’s time to speak up. You say yes when your whole body is screaming no. You manage everyone else’s moods, and in the process, lose track of your own.I get it. When dysfunction has been there since the beginning, it doesn’t feel like “trauma and then recovery.” It just feels like life.

A Simple Conversation: Honoring Charlie Kirk
Send us Fan MailThe death of Charlie Kirk, on September 10, 2025, has inspired a nation to talk, at least it appears to be the case three days after this tragedy. The Be the Spark Movement inspires people to talk and bring us together in our humanity. I think Mr. Kirk would approve. One of the repetitive topics I speak on is FEAR! How does fear affect our lives, our hearts, our souls and our interactions with other people? How does fear keep us small, controlled, manipulated, easily removed from reality and ourselves? How does fear keep us unhealthy and shattered? What can we do about it? How do we grow from fear, trauma, and the current climate of our world? How do we defeat fear? The Be the Spark Movement is creating a collaborative book called The Other Side of Fear, where authors talk about their fears, recognizing they live in fear, facing it, and healing it. Everyone needs to read this book and write their own story of overcoming fear. Start with self-reflection and acknowledging where you are living in fear and ask yourself why. Then seek the knowledge to work through it and come out almost fearless on the other side. (You must keep the fear of bears chasing you, etc, because that fear keeps you safe.) Once you start healing your fears, you can begin to gather yourself from all the ways the media, politicians, church, education, friends, family, etc. has shattered your very soul and put yourself ack together with all the beautiful pieces that make you whole.Go love yourself!

Your Healing Responsibility
Send us Fan MailWe all go through micro traumas or big T traumas in our life and those events can kink up the life path that we thought we were on. Such events can and do also impact us for the rest of our life and can determine aspects of our relationships. Even though we are often not responsible for these traumas, we are responsible for healing them within ourselves. What does that healing look like? When do you recognize that healing needs to take place and then excavate your pain and struggles? How can you begin to find gratitude in those challenges and be thankful for who you become because you chose to heal? How can healing affect your relationships and create a better, more connected and fulfilling life? carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

Below the Surface of Love and Light
Send us Fan MailToday it truly hit me how much most live from the surface of this world. It is a difficult task to have a deep and meaningful conversation with most people.

How can we begin to excavate and uproot problems if we are not willing to look below the surface? carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Soul Confetti is a podcast to explore the lessons and growth opportunities that challenging life situations offer us. After I spent many years wallowing in emotional turmoil, I awoke to a new journey, a new way of being in this world, using my trauma to find and live in my soul’s purpose. Along this journey, I have met many inspiring souls that also have used their challenges to grow, create and thrive. Here, we will share our stories and inspire you to celebrate your life’s lessons and live from your soul’s purpose.
