SoulTalk with Kute Blackson

"Your feelings aren't the problem. They're the guidance." What if the real reason relationships hurt so much isn't who you're with, but how you relate to yourself? In this profound and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Margaret Paul, bestselling author and creator of Inner Bonding, joins Kute Blackson to dismantle some of the most common and damaging myths about love, relationships, self-worth, and responsibility. This episode goes far beyond romantic relationships. It dives into the invisible emotional systems we carry into marriage, parenting, friendships, spirituality, and even our sense of purpose. You'll discover why chemistry is often confused with love, why "being nice" can actually be self-betrayal, and how many of us unknowingly abandon ourselves; then, wonder why relationships feel exhausting, painful, or empty.

"What you're avoiding may be exactly why you're here." We all procrastinate. But what if it's not because you're lazy or undisciplined… What if there's something deeper going on? In this episode of SoulTalk, I share a different way of understanding procrastination — one that's more honest, more compassionate, and more empowering. Instead of beating yourself up for the things you haven't done, we'll explore what might really be behind the delay. Sometimes, the very thing you're avoiding is the thing that could change your life. But there's a reason you're not doing it — and understanding that reason is the key to unlocking your next level. Whether you're putting off a difficult conversation, holding back on a big dream, or just stuck in your own head, this episode will help you get clarity, stop judging yourself, and finally move forward with greater purpose and peace. If you've ever thought, "Why do I keep doing this?" — this one's for you. → Listen now and discover what your procrastination has been trying to tell you all along. Timestamps: (00:01:00) – Procrastination reframed: not laziness, but a deeper signal (00:03:00) – The question that changes everything: what are you avoiding? (00:05:00) – Procrastination as self-protection and ego preservation (00:07:00) – Comfort vs. evolution: ego safety vs. soul growth (00:09:00) – Why clarity only comes after action (00:11:00) – Making peace with fear instead of fighting it (00:13:00) – Resistance as a sign of growth and expansion (00:15:00) – Small actions, imperfect steps, and real momentum (00:17:00) – You're not procrastinating because you're weak — you're powerful (00:18:30) – Final reflection, invitation, and closing message Some Questions I Ask What am I avoiding right now that I know would change my life? If I stopped procrastinating, who would I have to stop being? What am I really afraid would happen if I succeeded? Is my perfectionism actually fear disguised as preparation? What part of me is trying to stay safe — and what part of me is ready to grow? What is one small action I can take in the next 24 hours? What is procrastination costing me emotionally, spiritually, and in my future? In This Episode You Will Learn Why procrastination is often the ego's last line of defense. The hidden fear behind perfectionism and over-preparation. Why clarity doesn't come before action — it comes from action. How small, aligned steps create massive transformation. The difference between choosing comfort… and choosing evolution.

"I'm not afraid to die. I'm afraid not to live." What if everything you've been told about your limits… was a lie? In this rare, raw, and unfiltered conversation, Kute Blackson sits down with the legendary Wim Hof—also known as The Iceman—to explore the true potential of the human spirit. Wim doesn't speak from theory. He speaks from fire-tested experience: plunging into frozen waters, scaling mountains in shorts, and surviving the loss of his beloved wife while raising four children alone. But more than his feats, it's what those experiences unlocked in him and what they can unlock in you, that makes this episode a must-listen. This isn't about breathwork.It's not about cold therapy. It's about coming home to your own inner power.

"Your pain wasn't sent to break you down. It was sent to break you through." Have you ever wondered why the people you loved the most walked away, why the path you trusted suddenly crumbled beneath your feet, or why life sometimes breaks your heart in ways you never saw coming? In this episode of Soul Talk, I invite you into a profound exploration of one of life's greatest mysteries, the hidden purpose inside your pain. This conversation is a journey into the soul-level truth behind your heartbreaks, disappointments, delays, and breakdowns. Together, we peel back the layers of misunderstanding, resistance, and egoic fear that make you believe something is wrong when life falls apart… when in reality, something deeper is seeking to be born through you. You'll discover how pain is not a punishment but a sacred initiation, a divine preparation for the next level of your life. You'll learn how your soul uses challenges to awaken you, how heartbreak refines your compassion, and how the very experiences you've tried to avoid may be the exact ones shaping you into the person you were destined to become. This episode reveals how your pain prepares you for your purpose: How it softens you, strengthens you, expands you, and ultimately breaks you open in order to break you through. This is an invitation to trust the divine curriculum of your life, to recognize that every loss carries a hidden light, every setback conceals a lesson, and every wound contains the blueprint of your greatest service to the world. Listen to this episode and learn how to stop resisting the seasons of pain, so you can finally understand their meaning, receive their gifts, and rise into the purpose you were born to live.

"Your enoughness is not determined by what you do." Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, how much you achieve, how hard you work… it still doesn't feel like enough? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I invite you into a deep exploration of one of the greatest illusions we carry as human beings, the lie that says, "I am not enough." This conversation is a journey back to the truth of who you are. Together, we peel back the layers of childhood conditioning, emotional survival patterns, and unconscious programming that convinced you that your worth was something you had to earn, hustle for, or prove. You'll discover how this lie hides behind perfectionism, over-giving, success, achievement, and the constant push to be more, and how it subtly shapes your relationships, your choices, and even your destiny. This episode is an invitation to remember the essence of your being: the part of you that was never broken, never unworthy, never not enough. The part of you that is whole, perfect, and complete exactly as you are. Listen to this episode and learn how to finally dissolve the lie of not-enoughness so you can reclaim the truth of who you really are.

What would change in your life if you stopped believing this lie? How does holding onto "I'm not enough" give you a false sense of control? In this episode, you will learn about: How love became confused with performance in childhood, and how that pattern still limits you today.

"You cannot be more of a friend to others than you are to yourself." What if friendship wasn't meant to be effortless, but to make you more alive? What if every relationship, especially the most challenging ones, was a portal into your own expansion? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, to explore the sacred, often overlooked art of friending. Barnet reveals a radical truth: Most of us think we're good friends, until the relationship becomes inconvenient. Until someone changes. Until life asks us to grow. Together we dive into the real work of authentic connection, why unconditional love is often a myth we hide behind, how our unspoken emotional contracts quietly sabotage intimacy, and why true friendship requires a willingness to be changed by one another. Barnet shares tender personal stories, including a powerful moment with his daughter that shattered his self-image and awakened him to the unconscious conditions he had placed on love. Through his wisdom, we explore how friendship becomes a spiritual practice, a living crucible where our wounds, triggers, and projections are not obstacles but invitations. Listen to this episode and learn how to friend yourself, friend your wounds, friend your inner weather, and finally, friend others from a place of truth, not need.

In this episode of Soul Talk, I reveal the deeper truth about ancestral trauma, the invisible wounds passed down through generations, and how to finally free yourself from them.

"The opposite of dead is not happy, it's alive. Love is about maximizing aliveness, not happiness." What if love wasn't meant to make you happy, but to make you whole? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Annie Lalla, world-renowned love coach and self-proclaimed Cartographer of Love, to explore what it truly means to love courageously, consciously, and completely.

Together, we unpack the myths of "happily ever after," the patterns that keep us chasing familiar pain, and how to turn conflict into collaboration. She reminds us that real love isn't about avoiding discomfort, it's about expanding your capacity to feel, to grow, to stay alive ever after. From healing heartbreak to mastering the art of fighting fair, Annie guides us into the heart of emotional intimacy, where vulnerability becomes strength, and every rupture becomes a portal to deeper connection. This conversation is an invitation to reimagine love not as a fairytale, but as a spiritual practice. A journey of becoming more awake, more open, and more alive.
