Soul Sayers: Recent Episodes
Deanna Rousseau Causey
Family! I will be taking a hiatus from the show. Not permanent, but taking some needed time to revamp, retool and refocus. Hoping you are finding ways to do the same for your vision and the goals you've set for yourself. Love you all so much!
Today - you want outflow. A channel to allow all negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to flow from your person. Change the trajectory of your life!
It's the first week of Spring. A time of new beginnings and a perfect opportunity to go deep and focus on what you're truly grateful for.
Please share with friends and loved ones.
Join us every Thursday for Searching The Divine at 7:00 pm CST.
Stuff isn't working. You keep trying new things, seeking out the latest and the greatest. Hungry for a word of wisdom that will turn everything around.
But none of that belongs to you. There are tools in your toolbox, but you don't trust them. It seems everyone else has better ones. Or maybe there's something out there that you need. you're just not sure what it is.
This show is about discounting what you already have and reaching for things that don't belong to you. There is no connection because they weren't made for you. So they won't work-not the way you want them to.
And there's a price to pay when you continue to try.
Thanks for listening! Join us for Searching The Divine - a weekly gathering for the spiritually curious. Hope to see you there!

It's February, the month of love. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself this month is to get out of your own way.
What does it mean to get in your own way? To cause most of your problems or most of the bad things that happen yourself, because of your character.
If there was ever a time for you to get real with yourself - it’s right now. More importantly, if there was ever a time to work towards positive change in your life - it is definitely now.
What we believe is based on what we experience and because of that, we tend to think our beliefs are true. But the beliefs we form from experiences rarely are rooted in real truth.
Well, we're getting to the bottom of it today and I'm giving you tips you need to begin to shift away from this damaging mindset. I would love to coach you through!
Don't forget to sign up for Searching The Divine - every Thursday at 7:00 pm CST!
We are created in the image and likeness of God. Meaning we are representatives of divine energy, with tools and power to manifest aligned intentions in this world. Our birthright is our power to DO things.
Sadly, we've been convinced that we are powerless, that we cannot be bold or confident.
There's this culture in the church community that needs constant reassurance - always crying about what's wrong, always asking for God to do for us what we can do for ourselves. Whining about who doesn't like us, who is jealous of us, who doesn't support us.
Can I say that train has left the station? It's time to wake up, buck up and get yourself together from a divine perspective. Yep, this is a hard one. Listen in.
If you want to join us to talk about this and other principles to make real-world changes in your life register for Searching The Divine.
It's free, you can invite friends, and there is no obligation to do anything but share your questions or ideas!
Hey Loves,
No full show today. We need to focus our energies on the shift in power that will take place in the Capitol today. Thankful that the darkness is moving, but it has left a stain.
We have a new President, but we still have the same country. We can no longer deny what our country has at its core. And for all of our progress, there is a significant number of people willing to destroy it all to hold on to power or the perception of it.
So for those reasons as well, let's lift up our intentions, energies, prayers, and voices for calm, peace, love to conquer all the hate, truth to overcome all the lies, Pray for a washing, a cleansing of the stink that will remain in the people's house as Trump finally gets the hell out of there.

Given the current state of our country, it depends on who you ask.
So let me be more specific. What is YOUR truth? The truth of your life? Your divine truth, the steadfastness that comes with knowing exactly who you are.
Because knowing your truth will be essential for navigating the days and months ahead. Your life...and the quality of living it, is at stake.
Interested in our weekly gathering Searching The Divine?
Here's the link to register.
2020 gave us a peek into another realm. A realm where principalities, powers, and the dark energies that reside there were allowed to show themselves.
So what do we do with what we saw? We can't unsee it - are we powerless or do we have a mandate for change?
Seeing makes us accountable. And if you want to know what your accountability is...listen in!
I’m hosting a weekly conversation called Searching The Divine. It is free and takes place every Thursday at 7 pm Central time.
We’ve created a safe space for you to ask questions about the bible in particular, but this is not and I repeat not a conversion message or salvation plan. You will not be asked to join any organization or denomination.
We are going to read passages and challenge everything we’ve been taught or don’t understand in a search for clarity. It is a judgment-free zone and it doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to church or in one all your life. In fact, it’s not about the church at all - it’s about understanding divine principles that are unchanging - principles that are the keys to unlocking your insight into who you really are.

This has been the year of letting go. This has been a year of shedding things - a stripping away
It came suddenly - with very little warning and certainly no time for preparation.
There was just this great snatching away -
Of personal freedoms in a sense -
Certainly of personal customs and habits
Endless degrees of confinement
Restricted travel
Second-guessing gatherings
Missing family
The ability to touch and hold one another
How have you dealt with this snatching away? What feelings and emotions have you experienced? And how have you dealt with not just the sudden change last spring but the ongoing, persistent restrictions and hindrances?
I'm sharing your greatest takeaways for 2020, with an eye for living a victorious 2021.
Have insights or stories to share from this year? Email me at deanna@soulsayers.com
Need some tools to navigate? Visit our website Soul Sayers
That's right! I have so much more than a wish. I have a firm, strong intention for many other things for you. For all that you'll need for 2021.
Listen in and find out what they are!
Peace & Blessings!
We're not done!
Last week we talked about breaking spells. How to get out from under the power of influence, regaining your position when someone is working to bend your will with the force of their own.
Well, this week - is for you spellcasters. Could this be a violation of someone's sacred self? Do you fully understand the ramifications? How can you stop?
There's a quick exercise at the end but if you want to do some real work on this, whether you are under the spell or casting one - then connect with me at
deanna@soulsayers.com
I'd love to know what you'd like me to cover on the show in the new year! Send us a message at saythat@soulsayers.com. Your feedback is what motivates us!
Love you guys!

Spells are intentions, thoughts that carry power. When they are sent or cast out, these thoughts can work their way into your subconscious and psyche - influencing your thinking and behavior. Once these thoughts infiltrate your subconscious - they take over your conscious thoughts too - you find yourself doing things and saying things that might surprise you - or embarrass you, or hurt you.
In and throughout our lives, we have dealt with and will meet people who masterfully know how to exploit all of our inner beliefs in an effort to enforce their will upon our lives.
We're talking points of entry, how you can break spells, and the importance of you living in your own authority.
Why is it so hard to ask for help? Why get all in your feelings?
Well, there are a bunch of stories we tell ourselves, things like:
- I don't want to look weak or stupid
- I don't want to owe anyone anything
- I don't want to bother anyone
- I don't want to hear the truth about what I'm doing
Whatever the reasons, not asking for help is one of the significant ways you can actively not serve your interests. So we're calling bullshit on all of it. It's time to do something different!
A global pandemic, a narcissist in the White House, my glasses keep fogging up when I have my mask on, and I've never spent this much time in my house. What's there to be thankful for? Plenty - and that goes for you too, probably not what you think though.
Now is the time to get yourself right for the new year to come. I'm taking on new clients so visit the Soul Sayers website and sign up for a free call to see if my process is for you.
I'd love for you to connect with me on IG
Inner vows often reveal that we are finding it difficult to trust that God will help and protect us. We make them during times of suffering or hardship. But there is power in our words, whether spoken out loud or not.
During difficult times, we don't think vows through on conscious level, but once made, they have a way of becoming a permanent binding force in our lives if left unchallenged.
It's time to revoke the vows you have made, and replace the promises you created with the promises of God for your life. There is a clear path to move your life forward. This episode walks you through the process to revoke a vow and shift the energy toward progress. Release yourself!
I'd love to hear from you!

The power of language
The power of words
G‑d created the world with words. According to Kabbalah, words and letters are the actual building blocks—the raw material—of creation. Everything has a name in the Holy Tongue, and each letter of that name is a channel for a specific Divine energy. The energies of these letters and the way they are combined determine the particular unique characteristics of everything in existence.
You have the power to create your reality. What you say to yourself matters. Your words to others matter. Diving into the power of the spoken word - every single letter!

We have the ability to choose. But how do we weigh out our options? We're talking about three keys in the book of Genesis that will give you a deeper understanding of why you're so conflicted sometimes, and how thinking differently can help us sort out which path to take.
If you'd like to do a deeper dive into this series with friends, email me at saythat@soulsayers.com to set up a Zoom call for your group. I love teaching this stuff!
Dang! This week's episode is delayed until next week! So sorry! Laptop issues, waiting for the repair. We've got lots to discuss though so tune in next week! Love ya'll!!

A woman met a snake...
And the rest is history. The story of origins gives this historical account, but there is much more to it. A deeper spiritual principle about the spoken word, the energy it carries, and how it affects our ability to choose.
The battle waged that fateful day through external conversation between the woman and the serpent, became a battle fought through internal conversation between our minds and our hearts - our conscious and subconscious.
Want to understand why you struggle with yourself so much? Listen in...

Did you know the Bible is one of the juiciest books you'll ever read? Maybe your experience has been it's been used to tell you what wretched mess you are. But the scriptures are about the possibilities for your LIFE! How to live, how to grown, how to be better. The Bible is a LIFE book - everyday life, spiritual life, and yes, eternal life.
We've been spending some time figuring out why we have internal struggles, looking for the origins and this timeless book has some answers. And they're not what you may think.
So grab a seat and a notebook and take a listen. We're picking up on last week's show and building a foundation for life. Not rules, not condemnation and fault finding - but life, love, purpose, and understanding.
All are welcome! You do not have to practice any particular religion, in fact, this isn't about religion at all. Let's call it a search for Truth!

Doing a bit of a new thing right here. Delving into why we are the way we are and where does all the struggle come from? As a Coach, I've learned there are some things you can't set a SMART goal for - like emotional trauma.
But what if we could start at the beginning and figure it out, along with what to do about it? Interested? Listen in...

In these times, it’s easy to wonder if there is a Divine Guiding Principle in our lives. If God is aware of the goings-on.
We’re in the midst of the swirling storm - trying hard to stay connected to ourselves. What’s my life need to be about right now? Where does it need to go? How are YOU feeling right now?
We need a covering and protection, but boldness and openness too.
Where can you find that? Let me tell you...

Hindsight is 2020 they say. Well, 2020 will give us hindsight, foresight, and NOWSIGHT!
What's happening in the world? What does it all mean? Are you seeing clearly?
The signs of the times are all around. It's important that you see them and understand what they mean. Using your past experiences for transformational change allows you to understand the significance of future events but also gives you insight into NOW.
You've got some important decisions to make. Moves to figure out. People to deal with. We're delving into past, future and the now. Listen in!

Take me up on a complimentary Discovery Call - 50 minutes of getting to the crux of what you want to do or change!
The conversation on Clarity continues with the necessity of shifting your perspective and reframing your thinking.
When we start any new quest, our ego will try to lead us down a pain-free path of least resistance, no struggle, and perceived safety.
This can cause you to seek out quick answers and done for you services. Anything that will allow you to pass GO and get to the end. In doing that, you miss valuable lessons, abandon your intuition, and give up your right to learn and grow.
I've got some insights for you! Listen in...
You know things have to change for you. Circumstances, as they currently are, cannot continue and you just want to be happy. You've tried all the typical distractions: spending money, making money, booze, sex, people. But nothing feels right and it never will until you make the shifts you need.
Your body is letting you know, your heart is crying out, your spirit is parched. You can't quite plug in your faith to light up your life, and nothing feels right.
So you decide...take the leap, and commit to going for the changes you need to make. And the internal messages start rolling in...😳
- What are you doing this for?
- You never finish anything you start
- People aren't going to like it
You begin to shrink back, start to procrastinate, and never accomplish what you KNOW you need. Those messages came from your ego.
Today's show is about ego - what it is, why you have one, and how do you manage it. If you have been wanting to make ANY changes in your life, this roller coaster will feel familiar. Get some tools to get yourself moving!

Clarity - the power of being definite or certain. Also means quality of transparency or purity. We're always asking for clarity, aka, we want to know all the answers. But having the answers doesn't necessarily make you definite or certain. How many times have you gotten the answer and didn't like it so you chose to ignore it? Maybe it's more about hearing only what we want to hear.
Clarity doesn't have anything to do with having all the answers, it's everything about seeing clearly, having a deep understanding. Clarity elevates your thinking and creates options for many solutions. It also settles your soul, allowing you to be open to spiritual things.
Oh, and the other thing is, we want this all like - yesterday! 😂
Today, we're talking about getting clear. What that journey can look like and how it has to be done by you. No more following everyone else. No closed off minds - eyes open!
So listen in and send me your thoughts. I'm also offering a brand new program called "Soul Passages - A Journey of Healing", with a no-pressure opportunity to learn more about it and decide if it is for you.
It's very difficult to watch what is happening in the world right now. The dark voices can be persuasive if you are not crystal clear on who you are, what you're doing, and why you matter.
Let me hear from you! And hey, could you please leave us a review or a 5 Star and share it with your friends? ❤️❤️❤️

Have you heard of GEOTRAN? I hadn't until recently.
GEOTRAN is a numerical, digital, geometric language entered at specific points, called “spin points,” on and around the body.
I'm spending time today with Donna Accardo, a GEOTRAN practitioner. She's giving us a crash course into this method of shifting and clearing energy to live more fully in choice and authenticity.
Some snippets from the show:
"Responding to life and situations from your authentic genetic blueprint - your divine blueprint."
"Clears out the things that aren't you."
"Soul agreements with family and friends."
"GEOTRAN can clear the emotional charge that results in the need to put up emotional protection."
"Now I'm in choice, I'm not choosing from that place in the past."
Flow - proceed or be produced smoothly, continuously, and effortlessly.
Have you ever thought about how much time and effort you put into pushing things through? This urge to make things happen, the pressure of performing, the way you speak to yourself when you're not getting the results you want.
Consider that maybe, you can let your spirit guide you, that God will order the flow for everything that you need, and you don't have to fight to make progress.
It's hard to accept that we can live in a space of ease and effortlessness. All our lives we've been taught that to gain anything requires sacrifice. So we sacrifice our bodies and sleep. We sacrifice our families and time. We lay our deepest dreams and desires on the altar to move ahead in the world.
Is it possible you're being asked to sacrifice your will? This desire to run everything and control. What if you laid your distrust of an outcome that you don't orchestrate on the altar instead? Envision yourself trusting...
Listen and get inspired to let some things go!
Love you!

Sometimes you meet someone who has this quality of wisdom...an inner knowing. I've found Emily Silva Hockstra to be that person.
Emily has done many things in her life, and I consider her to be fearless. She has allowed herself to take chances and trust her soul's leading.
So when I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with her, I thought a peek into our conversation would make a great show!
Emily has authored three books, "Sunrise Gratitude" is her latest and is available for pre-order. It will be released on September 8. You can find "Moonlight Gratitude" and "Find Your Glow Feed Your Soul" on Amazon.
Her mission? To help women "harness their bravery". Emily is doing exactly that! Enjoy!

Spiritual Perfectionism - the over-reliance on actions to feel spiritually justified and ok. Often combined with a hyper-focus on thoughts and feelings. Identifying them as bad thoughts, or "I shouldn't feel this way." Believing that negative thoughts and feelings make you a bad person.
Strong feelings that God won't love you or loves you but will punish you. Or feelings that the Universe or Source won't provide for you if you're out of alignment.
Many people spend a lifetime striving for spiritual perfection by doing all the right things, saying all the right words, and thinking all the right thoughts. Always denying themselves and restricting everything as if this is the way to connect with the Creator.
Your spiritual life, this journey you are on while not without challenges, should not be denial and suffering. If we are to have life and have it more abundantly, then God wants you to have experiences. You should have relationships, people in your life. There should be joy and discovery, learning, and growth.
We're talking about the pitfalls of trying to do everything right. Of always feeling guilty, and never enough. And how none of this has anything to do with the beautiful spiritual being you are. Listen in...
Starting Monday July 27th through Friday July 31st, I'm hosting a free 5-day workshop called "Blemished & Bad Ass". It is a deep dive into perfectionism, finding your personal core values, living in alignment with those values, and having the courage to make necessary changes in your life.
It is completely free...my gift to you and the Universe in these trying times. You can register at Blemished & Bad Ass.

Healthy relationship inventory:
- Trust
- Intimacy
- Honesty
- Acceptance
- Support
- Safe Space - no judgment
- Commitment
Healthy relationships must start with two relatively self-aware individuals who have balanced views of themselves and are open to continued growth and learning.
Perfectionism, however, kills intimacy. Perfectionist partners are not honest with themselves or with their partners. Trust is compromised, so is acceptance. None of this creates a safe, judgment-free zone, and not living up to perfectionist expectations will result in criticism or complaining.
This episode talks about some key things to spot in your relationship, (or yourself if you're a struggling perfectionist), and what you can do to change these behaviors. Relationships have a significant impact on your quality of life. It's ok to decide you want more.
If you are ready for some tools to help you break free, please sign up for my FREE 5-Day Challange Workshop on shifting your focus from perfectionism to life intentions, discovering your true core values, and how to align your life plan with those values. No obligation for anything.
July 27 - July 31
Sessions are live every day at 11:00 CST but replays will be available! All you have to do is sign up here:

Carrying the heavy burden to be "better" than everyone else. You want to be first, you want to be right, you want to be validated.
Performance perfectionism is a primary source of stress and overwhelm, especially in the workplace. There are a few perceived advantages: you're more driven than the average person, more likely to come early or stay late, and your standards are high...very high.
But research has shown that perfectionists are no more productive than their go with the flow counterparts. So what's up with this showing up in the world?
Get your episode and take a listen!
As always, if you are desiring to move past patterns, thoughts, behaviors that are not serving you, I would love to coach you through! Visit the Soul Sayers Website and book a complimentary call to learn more.

Many people probably don't understand the enormous amount of internal pressure and negative energy associated with perfectionism. This overwhelming need to present yourself to the world without one hair out of place. Behind the perfectly curated outfits and the pulled together persona - is an inner war. A battle between self-love and acceptance, validation, and importance.
Society's expectations of outward beauty can lay out a path for injections, fillers, surgeries, and modifications. Your unique blend of physical and spiritual qualities, what makes you attractive, sensual, gets caught in the crosshairs of sameness. Striving to look like all the ones who have received their stamp of approval from the masses and the men.
Is there space to freely be your authentic self and still fabulously pulled together? Let's talk about it.
Perfectionism is rooted in two things: fear and insecurity. Here's the thing, you do not have to serve these two masters. You can break the cycle. Tangible tools are offered in this episode for highly motivated people who are ready to change and want to start tackling some things on their own. But this often requires deeper work. It's not always as easy as trying a few exercises.
If you need a partner to help you through, let's work together. There are powerful tools I can share along with a specific, actionable plan to free you from this cycle. You can have joy. You can be content. You can be free.

Are you always striving for flawlessness and setting excessively high standards for yourself? Do you find that you're overly critical of yourself and your work or ideas - maybe worried about how other people view you as well?
We're talking about perfectionism, the perfect assassin, and what it kills off in you.
I see this all the time in my coaching and spiritual wellness. work and have struggled with it myself. Women, in particular, suffer from The Perfection Track more than any other group.
Well, it's time to get well. It's time to be free.

"You know, you are not responsible for enlightening everyone. In fact my love, many people don’t want to be enlightened because that would require them to change. They see change as admitting they are wrong about things - and many people never want to be wrong either."
We are living in a time when our sensitivities are heightened....as they should be. And now is the perfect time to start doing what has been the Soul Sayers mantra since the beginning. Drag all the crap out from the darkness and into the light. Expose bad thinking, fear, insecurity, bias, prejudice, anything that minimizes your greatness. Dims the light you were meant to shine.
But not everyone wants to be well. And some will use their resistance to becoming whole as a reason to make you feel that your heart isn't in the right place or you have faulty thinking. So it's time to wake up and get your antennae working. Some folks are pretty sophisticated with their gaslight maneuvers. I think we can be ready for them.
Through my spiritual wellness practice and life coaching, I can give you the tools you need to navigate other people's agendas. Learn how to stay true to yourself, know what you stand for, and communicate it without apology.

Is the current state of turmoil and challenge in the world shaping you in any way? Wondering maybe how you should shift and what you should do?
We're talking about the importance of authenticity and purpose. Why it's absolutely necessary during these trying times to be fully yourself and to know exactly what it is you should be doing.
We are all being tested in many ways. How we respond will chart the course for our individual journeys and you can trust this, impact the planet. We don't have to be afraid to make a difference!
If you would like assistance with navigating your life in any way, particularly in the area of releasing strongholds and finding the courage to make significant changes for the better, I'd love to work with you.

Episode Highlights
We need answers and just want to feel better about what's happening right now. How long will this last? When will I get to go on vacation? Am I still going to have my job?
Mostly, people seem to want quick lists, sets of instructions to follow like 5 ways to handle COVID-19 Quarantine or, 10 ways to ease stress.
But the answers, the ones that will truly make you feel better, are found in the spiritual world. Not this crazy one we're in right now.
Being connected to your higher self and God can bring relief and insight. So we talk about some good news and some bad news. What you can do about it, and I'll give you a few things to get you started on your journey.
Quotes:
"See we like to be told what to do - give me the formula and I can quickly implement and execute. But this isn’t like that ya’ll. For sure, I can make up dozens of 5 step plans but honestly, the answers we need aren’t in some a-z handbook."
"This situation right here - doesn’t have any pat answers. Not one. Will you get surface relief from a top 10 list? Maybe."
"In the meantime, what we want to feel a sense of security, we want to feel safe, we need to feel connected to each other yes but to also something greater than ourselves."
"The Divine can elevate your mind..your thinking - give you ideas, plans, art, words - for yourself and others."

Episode Highlights:
Quitting is often connected to weakness, being soft or lazy, throwing in the towel. If you’ve accepted any or all of those beliefs then quitting is the last thing you want to do. You will ride that thing until the wheels fall off!
There is a difference between quitting and stopping!
See it as giving up vs. taking a stand.
Quotes:
"When was the last time that you just allowed yourself to be who you are? Without apology, without explanation, but with power...right smack in the middle of your Divine purpose?"
"Once I had this awakening and began challenging all old beliefs I had around quitting things; I discovered there were many other limiting beliefs I had as well."
"Have you ever gotten clarity on something and then you try to explain it to other people and they just don't get it?"
"The natural tendency is to go back to the way you were, so other folks can be comfortable again."
"Once the mind is enlightened, it cannot go dark."
"There are times in your life where it is essential that you just STOP."

We are certainly living in unusual times. In this episode, I reflect back to the beginning of the year when I was feeling a strong push to talk about 2020 being a pivotal year of change. And that overcoming fear was our mandate.
Episode Highlights:
- Systems within society are being dismantled before us. Some will not be rebuilt. We are witnesses to an unfolding of history, happening before our very eyes.
- But what you do have, and what you still have power over - is yourself.
- There is a spiritual download - a reprogramming if you will, a re-branding of your life and being - ready and waiting for you.
"The feeling I had was that this year would be one of transformation, breakthroughs, open doors and direction."
"This has, however, proven so far to be a year full of uncertainty, great loss of tangible and physical things, and of people. Much of our supposed control has faded away and one of the few resources we can still manage is our time."
"That’s life on a spiritual journey - what you miss you are destined to repeat."
"Everything has ground to a crawl. We suddenly have time. And the time is now - for the inner work, the within work that needs to be done - - in you."

Episode Highlights:
- How the pandemic and social distancing measures keep people apart while reminding us of the importance of regular contact.

Quotes:
“Just like the virus is this invisible micro-contaminant, so is fear.”
“If you made it through that, you’ll make it through this.”
“You have to be still in the midst of this storm that we’re swept up in.”
“Everything that’s happening before us is going to be divinely guided, and you, and yours, and the people that you care about will be divinely guided through as well.”
“I think this time requires real spiritual intention.”
“If there was ever a time we needed spiritual people… it’s now.”
“We have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.”
“I believe the spiritually connect, in-tune folks are gonna play a large role in what it looks like going forward.”
