The Soulful Contributors Podcast: Recent Episodes

Taja Karner

Podcast for contributors ready to live in harmony with their soul and in balance with all beings in our reality. You'll hear about emotional healing, plant medicine, nature as a teacher, the embodiment of the Divine, channeled messages, etc.

I’m happy to announce that “Soulful contributors” is yet again about to be upgraded and improved!

As I grow, my brand needs to grow with me. This often means restructuring the way I work and realigning my content to what feels the truest to my heart! Soul-tailed lifestyle is all that my brand is about and this means I gotta first make sure I’m a good example!

The original idea behind this brand was to help people connect with their souls so they can fully contribute to this world. Even though I still strive to do so, I’ve realized that in order to truly contribute, it’s crucial to be one with all the other contributors of this Universe. What I mean by that is that it’s on us to be as excellent as a receiver as we are as a giver.

I want to use this platform to introduce you to other beings in my reality that can be considered Soulful contributors - including plants, animals, mushrooms, nature as a whole, higher dimensional beings, as well as other human beings of course.

In this episode, I share with you how these changes come to life.

So in the future, I plan to share more about:

Plant medicine (how different herbs, mushrooms, seeds, etc can benefit our existence)
Nature (examples of how species in nature collaborate with each other and are in harmony and balance of giving and receiving)
Rituals & Meditation (different practices that can help you stay connected to yourself and other beings)
Channeled messages (merging our 3D world with higher dimensional beings that are here to guide us and helps on the way)
Poems and other writings that come through me (as a part of sharing my creations with you) ️
All things regarding the embodiment of the Divine (my personal stories, emotional healing, women empowerment, overcoming trauma, and usual inspirational messages that comes to me)

Thank you for being on this journey with me! Taja

Hello my beautiful souls!

I'm coming back at you after an intense two months I'd say hehe :) It's been a ride! And what it taught me is that the best thing you can do for yourself is to let go of the control and let the higher self take over.

We are so limited with our illusionary ego-minds, that we often close doors for ourselves without knowing it. It's hard when you count only on your actions to get something in life... sometimes you got to let go of all the control and almost "give up". Because when we really allow the energies to flow through us and teach us what we need to know... we allow space for magic!

Magic cannot be controlled. That's why it's called magic. It comes out of the blue. :)

I hope this episode inspires you to have more faith in life and try out how it feels like when your higher self takes over. I've also shared with you my personal story from the last two months. The episode is pretty intense with energetic downloads too - so just let it do its magic ;)

With love, Taja

Hey everyone,

I believe we have all been facing lots of different waves of emotions throughout the past year. It's impossible to not get triggered when life as we know it has been shift so drastically. Therefore, I think it's incredibly important to talk about what to do when emotions are coming up and how can we use them to grow as a person.

In this episode I am talking about:

What emotions are and how to fully express them,
How fear and anxiety usually cover up the more authentic emotions like shame, guilt, anger...,
How to express emotions in a non-attached way by being a conscious observer,
Importance of not identifying with your ego or story coming up in your head,
What is an emotional cycle and how to break free from it,
Practical tools for emotional expression,
The importance and understanding of "ground zero"
How to use "ground zero" as the basis point from which all personal and professional decisions should be made

Hope my perspective brings some new insights for you. I really love to talk about emotions and fully expressing them, so I'll keep diving deeper into the topic in the next episodes. If you have any questions you'd like me to answer, shot me a DM.

Thank you so much for listening and being here. I'd appreciate it if you share the episode with those who might benefit. Your support is deeply appreciated.

Stay blessed and fully expressed! ;)

Yours truly, Taja

Hey everyone,

Today I'm talking about social media and how we can use it to our own advantage.

I believe we all have a love/hate relationship with social media. Yes, it's an awesome way to get your stuff out there and get to meet incredible people (or stay in contact), but just like with everything... it's important to use social media and not allow social media to use you.

Our profiles are a good representation of which parts of ourselves we are comfortable showing the world. Of course we can consciously choose what we share, however subconsciously we are programmed to primarily show only what we like. That's totally fine if you have made a conscious choice about it and it doesn't limit you.

However, let me share with you my way of overcoming some of my own limitations when it comes to social media. It's been a very powerful tool and it helped me so much with accepting myself more fully and it keeps helping me as I keep working on that. ;)

Enjoy! Taja

Hello everyone,

This one is coming to you as an inspiration I've got regarding finding our unique gifts and purpose in life. I believe there is no better time than now to actually explore our talents and share them with the world.

Each and every one of us is unique and no one can replace our combination of gifts. Yes, other people can do something similar, but we each hold a special energetic flavour that cannot be found anywhere else. I believe our only duty in life is to follow our heart and keep exploring what these gifts are. It's on the path of courage that we'll discover our unique gifts and got introduced to our purpose.

Hope this episode brings new and exciting insights!

Enjoy, Taja

Hey everyone,

I've decided that it's time to open my channel - publically. And by channel I mean - my higher self & guides have messages for us that need to be delivered.

You see.. I’ve been channeling since I was 12. I had my “imaginary friend” that I would ask for help and the answers were delivered through hand-writing. I was channeling answers that were beyond what my mind could come up with at times and I always burned what I wrote since I was scared anyone would find it (it saddens me now to not have the writtings). For the past few years, it’s been such a natural thing that can happen literally anytime in a form of hearing, seeing, or thinking.

The message that I'm sharing today is for every creator that is committed to sharing authentic and genuine content/art with the world. This is the download that I've received lately and I needed to pass it on.

Enjoy, Taja

Hello my beautiful souls!

Firstly, I wish you a joyful and happy new year! Hope it awakes your most authentic soulful contribution :)

This episode is a free flow... I really felt like sharing some things with you and this is what came out. The main focus in this episode is that no one can really save you - and that you are not really able to save anyone. In the end, we all have the same lessons to learn... that the only one we can really save is ourselves.

I think I should do more episodes in a free-flowing way, it definitely awakes a new level of authenticity and volubility within me. Let me know if you enjoyed the episode and I'll do my best to keep them coming :)

With love, Taja

Hello my beautiful souls!

Since I'm going to Denmark next week, I've felt like reflecting back on my story. Denmark was the first country I've moved to and it contributed greatly to my awakening. I haven't really shared my story here, so I wanted to use this opportunity to share it with you, while also reflecting on it for myself.

If you are more into reading than listening... you can read my story here: https://tajakarner.com/my-story/

Hope it gives you some new insights or if nothing else, reminds you that we are all in this together!! :)

Enjoy, Taja

Hello everyone,

In this episode, I've dwelled on the topic of allowing people near and how relationships can be our greatest mirror.

The balance between setting boundaries and allowing people near is something that we are probably learning for life! There are people who are good with boundaries towards strangers (which could often be lower) and yet they struggle to set clear boundaries with the ones we have close. On the other hand, some people are very open towards strangers and allow everyone near to a certain level... yet they are blocking away deep connections and don't allow anyone to know them too well. It's important to understand these protective mechanisms and be conscious of how we react.

In this episode, I shared my personal experience in the past months and observations that I came up with. I hope it gives you new insights and helps you understand yourself more.

Take care, Taja

Hello world!

This one doesn't need a special introduction... it goes on about everything related to anxiety and how it can be the biggest killer of your dreams, creativity, and imagination.

Do you feel that anxiety has been blocking your vision?

Then listen to this episode and hope it awakes new insights for you :)

Hope it serves you, Love T.

Hey, my beautiful souls!

In this episode, I've covered one of the hidden traps of positivity - spiritual bypassing and my personal story that showed up in the previous weeks.

If you are not familiar with the term spiritual bypassing, it simply means using spiritual tools/language to avoid what is really coming up. The whole idea of always having positive thoughts and always acknowledging the light in unpleasant situations can be a way to suppress your true emotions.

The crucial thing to remember is that everything that is suppressed, stays within us, and have the power over us. This is the main reason why the law of attraction doesn't always work well for you if you are just trying to be positive.

I'm inviting you to give this episode a listen. It has the potential to unlock new levels of growth and understanding of yourself.

Thank you so much for listening and I'd love to hear your feedback!

Stay blessed & fully expressed :) Taja

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share this episode with you... I invited the channel to open for whatever you we need to hear right now and it turned out pretty juicy!

I've been jamming on shifting the identity and how can we allow ourselves to level-up at this time. It's natural to evolve and change and we have every right to not be the same person as we were yesterday. Through this process, the truth is the thing that will help us most! The more we are allowing ourselves to tap into that truth - no matter how weird or strange or uncommon it is for us... it allow us to expand as who we are and to open up the potential to who we can become.

Hope you find this one helpful! If it awakes any questions for you... feel free to reach out to info@tajakarner.com and I'll be happy to cover it in the next episode.

Thank you, Taja

Hey everyone!

This episode goes out as a continuation from the previous one - if you haven't listened to that one, I'm inviting you to do so.

In this one I've dived deeper into the whole experience of spiritual awakening - how it looks like, what it means, what are we called to do in this phase, how to deal with everything etc.

I've also added my perspective on how we can learn from our cells that our current structure of society isn't aligned with nature and requires a massive transformation. As usual, I added some nuggets from our cellular existence brought it into perspective around our solular existence ;)

Hope you enjoy it! Make sure you subscribe, leave a review and tag me in your Instastory so that I can share it with my ppl :)

Be well, Taja

Hello everyone!

Hope this episode finds you well. We are going through a lot lately and many people have been reaching out with very similar questions and concerns. For many of you (and also for myself) this time wasn't hard only mentally and emotionally, but also physically. Our bodies are going through an interesting shift that has been manifested in all sorts of imbalances.

If your internal world seems a bit chaotic and you don't know how to face it, I highly recommend you listen to this episode. It might give you a new perspective on what is going on and help you understand why certain emotions or physical manifestations are popping up.

When not much is going on externally, our body and soul have time to remind us what is happening within. Or I'd say that when we have external things to look at, it's easier to shut down the call from within. However, this inner chaos is a call for an upgrade. It didn't come to destroy your life, it came to remove what no longer serves you and connect you with what's more aligned with you.

If you feel like you need an individual help during this time, feel free to reach out on my email: info@tajakarner.com

With love, Taja

Hey everyone,

As the year is coming to an end, I want to remind you of something important to be aware of when setting your goals: PATTERNS.

It's an interesting episode of explaining why things are happening to us in patterns and what is their purpose.

I believe you'll be able to set your goals for 2020 from a different perspective after listening to this episode. Hope you enjoy it!

Hello world,

here is the new episode where I'm talking about LOVE. I've shared with you my story of how I've realized 2 years ago that I never seem to really want love... It is still one of the most painful and wonderful realizations I ever had.

It made me realize what is actually the WALL between us and the love we crave, why we never seem to get it enough and how to heal that wounded parts so we can start to believe we are worthy of receiving love.

In the episode, I've also touched the 5 love language and why I believe they are not helping is with feeling more love.

Overall, I feel like I dropped many "bombs" in this short time and I hope they make you think! I believe I'm here to shift people's perception and I hope this episode will help me do so! :)

Enjoy! Taja

Hello my beloved souls!

I'm so happy to share this change with you!

"Selfish Contributors" has been officially changed into "Soulful Contributors"!

As they say... the only constant thing in life is change. And I couldn't agree more.

However, that doesn't mean that change is always nice and pleasant. When I first thought about an option to change the name of my brand, I said "no possible way". I was so certain in the name that I've chosen in the first place and how I envision it growing. Yet, when I allow myself to feel what feels aligned and what doesn't, I realized change is necessary.

Since I feel the whole process of making this decision might be insightful for you, I've decided to share it in this episode.

I want to thank you for taking the time to listen and helping me build my dreams in the first place. It wouldn't be possible without you.

Here is to many more magical adventures into the depts of our soul together!

With love, Taja

My beloved souls,

I'm excited to share with you another special soul Kevin Crenshaw - Relationship expert, speaker, and coach who is here to help us unlock love. He's known as a heart guy and I can tell you that he is exactly that - a pure heart! Kevin shared with us his story of how he realized his relationships are meant to be more than what he's been experiencing. That took him on the path of self-discovery. While learning and working on himself, he shortly became aware of his gift of helping others. Now he's sharing his insights daily on his podcast named "The heartbeat", touching people's lives with amazing captures on his Instagram (@Kevcrenshaw) and impacting many souls through online coaching and programs and in-life workshops all over the world.

In this podcast we were discussing: - the definition of love - the definition of a healthy and successful relationship - limiting beliefs that we got from "Hollywood" style relationships - the importance of awareness in relationships - how taking space in a relationship can benefit both of you - how to break the repeating patterns - how showing up from your hurt can ruin any relationship - importance of communication and trust - my personal example from a long-distance relationship - the difference in needs for man & women - and many other juicy topics!

Enjoy and make sure you subscribe to catch new guests that are coming! :)

This episode goes out specifically for myself and for everyone out there that gets trapped into people pleasing too often.

What if the inner feeling that you're here to save the world is just your inner child asking you to save yourself?

What if your need to rescue others is coming from your own desire to be rescued?

Are you willing to step up and save yourself or will you keep up waiting for a savior?

When will you realize that you are the one you've been waiting for?

Enjoy, Taja

Hey fellow Selfish Contributors!

I'm happy to introduce you to another amazing soul Pavlina Cuberkova, more known as Paja, that has mastered the manifestation in the most profound way - through being present and surrendering.

Paja shared with us her story and how she awakened the source of light and love within her. She is coming from the Czech Republic and similar to my story she found her light with the help of travel.

I'm always impressed by the level of presence and peace that she embodies and I think you'll all feel that coming through in this recording. She is full of inspirational stories and incredible manifestations that she attracted. She is a true example that there is no limitation on what we can attract!

I hope you'll enjoy this and I'm sure you'll end up being more at peace and relaxed after listening to this episode.

Talk to you soon, Taja

Hello beloved Selfish Contributors!

I'm excited to share with you this super inspiring interview with my very dear friend Heide Truong. Heide is a traveling enthusiast just like me! We bonded very quickly since we have so many things in common. However, we are coming from a very different background.

In this episode, she shared with us her inspirational story. She went from being a troubled teenager abusing substances to becoming the first person in her family graduating at University. Moreover, she went from a life full of struggle, suffering, and hatred to a life full of adventure, joy, and love.

You'll also hear some awesome stories from her travels. She explained very well how travel is the ultimate faith muscle training that helps us live with more courage in daily life.

I'm sure you'll feel inspired to travel more after hearing this episode!

Enjoy and talk to you soon! Taja

Hey beautiful people!

I'm introducing you to something new that will pop up to this Podcast quite often - Learning Lessons Through Movies!

I feel there is many ways of learning life lessons that can be way more fun than studying from a book (or making mistakes by yourself). Watching movies is definitely one of them! So I was thinking... why not going through the lessons of the movies together?

For the first movie I choose the Bohemian Rhapsody - a movie about the life of Freddie Mercury and the journey of the band Queen. We are not going to focus on the debate whether their journey was actually as pictured, but I've used the story in the movie to get us valuable insights for life!

I've had lots of fun recording it so I hope it will be fun for listening as well. :)

Make sure you subscribe and share the episode with your friend who loved the movie!

Take care, Taja

Hello my beloved souls,

Here is a new episode for you to enjoy!

In this one you'll get to know more about my journey of happiness. You'll hear what pushed me to the point of no return and helped me break through. I'm also touching the question I receive all the time and clarifying for you the difference between self-obsession and selfishness.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

Have a wonderful holidays and talk to you soon! Taja

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share with you the first episode on Selfish Contributors podcast.

In this episode I've shared with you how it all started. You'll get to know where did the name Selfish Contributors come from, how did I feel when I realized I'm going to talk about selfishness and where were (still are) my blockages regarding selfishness.

I've opened myself up and embrace my authentic self. It was very therapeutic for me to record this episode, I hope it will spread some healing vibes on you as well.

Take care and talk to you soon, Taja
