TRAILER: A brand-new season of Hey Soul Sista is coming!!

TRAILER: A Brand-New Season of Hey Soul Sista — Coming Next Tuesday

A deep political and emotional divide is shaping the way women in America see their country, their safety, and their future — with left-leaning and right-leaning women often living in what feel like completely different realities.

In this timely and eye-opening episode, host Mel Histon, sits down with journalist and cultural commentator Alex Morris, who has just returned from the United States — and what she witnessed there speaks volumes about the state of women, politics, and public sentiment in America today.

From small Kentucky towns to national conversations, Alex shares the starkly different worlds that left-leaning and right-leaning Americans are living in — and why the divide feels deeper than ever.

Mel and Alex explore why Trump’s messaging on crime and safety lands so powerfully with certain women, the cultural narratives that shape how women on both sides see the world, and the emotional toll political polarization is taking on female identity, community, and confidence.

In this powerful episode, we explore the deep political and emotional divide shaping women’s lives in America today — and what journalist Alex Morris witnessed firsthand on her recent trip home.

Is America facing its Handmaid’s Tale? - with Alex Morris

What if the biggest lie we tell ourselves is: “I’ll do it tomorrow”?

In this episode of Hey Soul Sista, Geoff Rupp returns for a powerful conversation about why so many of us keep putting off the life we really want to live — and why the time to begin is now.

Fresh from two months in India, where he led a spiritual retreat through sacred planetary temples, Geoff shares what those experiences taught him about purpose, presence, self-love and the way we move through life.

We talk about why we can become trapped in the “ever-repeating known,” how fear and ego can quietly keep us playing small, and why taking even one small step toward the life you want can begin to change everything.

Geoff also shares one of the most confronting lessons he has learned from speaking with people nearing the end of their lives: we think we have more time than we do. We wait until the kids are older, until we retire, until we have more money, until life settles down — but sometimes tomorrow doesn’t unfold the way we imagined.

We explore:
Why Geoff believes we’re here to evolve, not simply move through life on autopilot
The difference between letting fear lead and trusting yourself
Why meditation and breathwork can help create greater clarity
How to stop looking outside yourself for happiness
Why relationships should complement you rather than complete you
The importance of putting yourself back on your own priority list
How taking one small action now can move you toward the life you really want
And Geoff shares stories from his extraordinary journey through India — including sacred fire ceremonies, ancient temples and an unexpected experience involving an emerald shivlingam that had reportedly not been brought out for years.

This conversation is a reminder that your life isn’t a waiting room.

If there’s something you’ve been telling yourself you’ll do “one day”… maybe this is your sign to begin.

Geoff Rupp shares why “I’ll do it tomorrow” may be the biggest lie we tell ourselves — and how to stop waiting and start living now.

The Biggest Lie We Tell Ourselves: “I’ll Do It Tomorrow” — NOW Is the Time

What if the people we love are never truly beyond our reach?

When speech pathologist Stephanie Banks watched her mother disappear into dementia, she believed her professional training would help them stay connected. But as their relationship unravelled, she found herself searching for answers in the most unexpected place.

One extraordinary experience changed everything.

In this deeply thought-provoking conversation, Stephanie shares how that moment led her to become an intuitive channel, helping people connect with what she describes as the soul, spirit guides and a deeper wisdom that exists beyond our everyday awareness.

Whether you're deeply spiritual, quietly curious or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to explore life's biggest questions with an open mind and an open heart.

In this episode, we discuss:


Stephanie's mother's dementia and the experience that changed her life


What intuitive channeling is (and what it isn't)


Can anyone learn to connect with their intuition?


The difference between intuition and fear


Spirit guides, soul teams and higher consciousness


Why imagination may be more powerful than we've been taught


Living with more joy, purpose and self-trust


What Stephanie believes happens after we die

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than what we can see, this conversation is for you.
