In this episode of the Choose Your S.O.U.L.. Show, we sit down with Srna Klotz — professional dancer, artistic director, choreographer, and founder of the nonprofit Ô’tänamos — to explore the transformative power of dance and movement therapy.

Born and raised in Macedonia, Srna began her performing career at age 7, eventually training in the prestigious Vaganova Method and spending 15 years with the Macedonian Opera and Ballet. After immigrating to the U.S., she expanded her repertoire to include contemporary, hip hop, and Latin/ballroom styles, performing at prestigious venues like The Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center and across Europe and the U.S.

But SRNA’s story goes far deeper than her artistic success. Growing up in a household affected by domestic violence, dance became her sanctuary — a refuge for self-expression and healing. Today, she brings that same healing power to others through her work with underserved youth, seniors, Alzheimer’s patients, veterans, and more.

This powerful conversation dives into the mind-body connection, the science behind how movement triggers hope molecules (natural antidepressants), and how creative expression can unlock emotional healing at every stage of life. Whether you’re a lifelong dancer or someone looking for a new way to process emotions and reconnect with your body and soul, Srna’s story will inspire you to move — literally and figuratively — toward your own healing.

In this episode of The Choose Your S.O.U.L. Show, we sit down with relationship healer Natalie Russell to dive deep into breaking toxic relationship cycles and stepping into self-worth. Natalie shares her powerful journey from self-destruction to self-love, revealing how unresolved childhood wounds, subconscious patterns, and attachment styles shape the relationships we attract.

We discuss:

✨ Why we repeat toxic dynamics (and how to break free) Unresolved childhood wounds, attachment styles, and subconscious beliefs often lead us into repeating unhealthy relationship patterns. Natalie explains how self-awareness and shifting internal narratives help break the cycle. True transformation comes from recognizing these patterns and consciously choosing different dynamics.

✨ The connection between self-worth and the relationships we attract Our relationships mirror our self-perception—when we lack self-worth, we attract people who reinforce that belief. Setting boundaries, embodying self-love, and healing inner wounds shift the dynamic, drawing in healthier connections. When we choose ourselves first, we naturally attract relationships that align with our value.

✨ Masculine & feminine energy balance in love and life The polarity between masculine and feminine energy creates harmony in relationships, but imbalances can cause conflict. Learning to embrace our natural energy and finding a partner who complements it deepens connection and attraction. The key is self-awareness—knowing when to step into each energy to create balance.

✨ How fitness & self-discipline impact intimacy and confidence Physical health directly influences confidence, energy levels, and emotional resilience, all of which impact relationships. Prioritizing self-care fosters discipline and self-respect, strengthening both attraction and connection. A shared commitment to well-being enhances intimacy and long-term compatibility.

✨ The role of spiritual growth in relationships A spiritual awakening can either strengthen or challenge a relationship, depending on alignment and mutual respect. While growth should never be forced, shared values create deeper connection. True partnership allows space for personal evolution while maintaining harmony.

In this episode, we sit down with Sherown Campbell, whose journey from breaking records on the track to breaking his spine and defying medical odds is nothing short of extraordinary. Sherown shares his story of resilience, mindset, and transformation after a life-altering spinal cord injury, revealing the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Lessons & Takeaways from this Episode:

Sherown’s story is a testament to the power of the human mind in overcoming even the most unexpected challenges. After a wrestling accident left him paralyzed, he was forced to completely redefine his relationship with his body, goals, and daily life. Instead of dwelling on what was lost, he focused on small victories—each movement, each milestone, each moment of progress. His journey shows that healing is not just physical but deeply tied to mindset, emotional resilience, and belief in what is possible.

One of the biggest lessons from this conversation is the importance of consistency and patience. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, and setbacks are inevitable, but what truly matters is how we respond to them. Sherown shares how he had to let go of comparing himself to his past self and instead focus on the present—measuring success in terms of what he could do today that he couldn’t do yesterday. This shift in perspective is a game-changer for anyone struggling with adversity, whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional.

We also dive deep into the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Sherown explains how stress directly affects his nervous system and why emotional control is essential for his mobility. This insight reinforces how vital it is to take care of our mental and emotional health—not just for peace of mind but for our overall well-being. The body listens to the mind, and when we align our actions with positive habits, we create the foundation for long-term success.

Finally, this episode is a powerful reminder that we always have a choice. Whether it’s choosing gratitude over self-pity, action over excuses, or discipline over comfort, our daily choices shape our reality. Sherown's story challenges us to reframe our struggles, find purpose in our pain, and keep striving toward the best version of ourselves—one step at a time.

We hope we can inspire you on this journey with us 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

From growing up as a mixed-race kid in Minnesota to navigating identity and purpose, Will opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped his path.

We explore:

1. The Role of Sports in Identity and Growth Will and Hakeem share their experiences as young athletes, highlighting how sports can provide validation, teach resilience, and foster a sense of community. But they also discuss the darker side—politics, favoritism, and the struggle to transition after sports end.

3. Finding Your Purpose and Trusting the Path The conversation dives deep into the idea that your path, no matter how difficult, is leading you to where you’re meant to be. We discuss the importance of embracing challenges as part of the process and how unwavering faith in your vision can help materialize your goals, even when life feels uncertain.
4. The Spiritual Awakening of Parenthood Will shares how becoming a father awakened a deeper sense of purpose and spirituality. He reflects on balancing sacrifice with self-care, the lessons he’s teaching his son, and how parenting has redefined his understanding of legacy and love. The conversation also emphasizes the powerful duality of having both feminine and masculine energies in the household. Will and Alysia discuss how this balance fosters emotional resilience, nurtures personal growth, and provides children with a holistic foundation of love and guidance.

Tune in for a heartfelt, raw, and inspiring conversation that reminds us of the importance of resilience, vision, and trusting that even life’s toughest moments are guiding you to something greater.
