Soreya James is the voice behind Metamorphosis — a spiritual rebel, trauma thriver and truth-teller with over 25 years of deep, embodied experience. She doesn’t do surface. She speaks what most won’t and guides the kind of transformation you feel in your bones.  Soreya James is a ceremonial speaker, transformational guide and what she calls a technician of a woman’s world — the woman you call when everything you’ve tried has gotten you halfway there and something deeper is asking to move.For 35 years she has gone further into the interior of human transformation than most practitioners will travel in a lifetime. While others were building their brands, she was in the room — the Landmark room, the Tony Robbins room, the Oneness temple, the white tantra, the Shematrix rite of passage, the sweat lodge, the Kundalini mat at 4am — doing the work that has no certificate at the end of it. She has completed more serious transformational work than most people in this field will encounter in a career. Not to collect credentials. Because she couldn’t stop until she had touched the bottom of every room she entered.  This is a magnificent talk.  Listen now. Website:   https://soreya-james.mvt.so/The Metamorphosis Digital Experience:  https://soreya-james.mvt.so/courses/metamorphosis-thebookWelcome to Step Up the Mic!  The podcast for aspiring and current speakers to help you get on stage and get paid to speak!  This is a unique opportunity to actually PERFORM YOUR SIGNATURE SPEECH!!! I am your emcee for this event!  I will introduce you, set you up for a spectacular presentation and provide you with a link to share with speaker bureaus, potential booking agents and event planners!  The best part...
