    2025/08/11

    Have you ever felt your voice was being suppressed despite your best efforts to be seen? Sovren Spotlight emerges from exactly this struggle—a vision born during a prolonged season of drought when algorithms and platform limitations threatened to silence authentic stories.

    Sovren Spotlight represents a fundamental shift in how creators connect and grow. Unlike traditional social platforms where connection is often superficial and momentary, this space encourages deeper engagement through podcast features, coaching, and community building. It's a deliberate step away from the "viral or nothing" mentality that plagues creator spaces, focusing instead on sustainable growth and legacy building.

    The structure rests on three foundational pillars: showcasing individual creators through podcast features and social media amplification, offering group and one-to-one coaching sessions focused on brand development, and building a supportive network where creators encourage each other's growth. What sets this community apart is its emphasis on seasonality and timing—acknowledging that each creator's journey unfolds according to its own timeline, eliminating the comparison that often poisons creative communities.

    For those who have been creating, coaching, or crafting their message while feeling like they're working in a vacuum, Sovren Spotlight offers the connection and visibility you've been seeking. Your brilliance deserves to be seen, your story deserves to be heard, and your growth deserves to be supported. If you'd like your story to be featured or you're curious about joining the coaching sessions, check the link in the show notes to connect directly. This is your time to shine as part of a community that rises together.

  • Life's Seasons: Navigating Drought and Harvest
    2025/08/11

    Send us a text

    Have you ever found yourself desperately trying to extract results during a season that simply wasn't ready to yield? Join me as I explore the profound wisdom of recognizing when we're attempting to harvest during a drought.

    Throughout my recent transformative journey—what astrologers would call my Pluto square Pluto transit—I've faced the exhausting reality of pushing against universal timing. Like a gardener who plants seeds with specific expectations only to witness completely different blooms emerge, I've learned that life contains many dormant potentials we didn't consciously place there—ancestral patterns, cellular memories, and soul agreements influencing our growth in unexpected ways.

    This episode delves into the metaphor of life's seasons and how external pressures often fail to acknowledge the bigger spiritual picture unfolding. I share candidly about how financial limitations forced me to confront deeper questions about purpose, identity, and what constitutes a meaningful life after decades of "making do." Where once I might have stretched myself thin to maintain appearances, I now question whether that serves my authentic journey.

    For those standing in similar liminal spaces—having left difficult periods but not fully stepped into new chapters—this conversation offers gentle wisdom about surrendering to uncertainty while remaining open to aligned possibilities. Rather than fighting against your current season, I invite you to recognize its purpose and embrace the natural cycles that ultimately serve your highest good.

    What season are you in right now? Are you harvesting or sowing? Do you know the difference? Connect with me and share your reflections as we build community around these universal experiences of transformation.

  • The Invisible Progress
    2025/07/23

    Send us a text

    Have you ever felt your life completely collapsing around you, despite your best efforts to prevent it? That's exactly where I found myself at age 50 – facing a financial drought so severe I couldn't even pay for my wifi, watching my marriage end, and struggling to maintain the home I'd worked so hard to secure.

    This raw, intimate episode explores my journey through what felt like a complete breakdown but was actually a profound rebirth. I share how astrological transits (particularly Pluto square sun) coincided with the dismantling of everything I thought defined me – my financial security, relationships, and sense of self-worth. Despite family members telling me to "get a real job" instead of pursuing coaching and social media, I felt compelled to keep showing up online, planting seeds I couldn't yet see growing.

    The most powerful revelation came when I realized I couldn't outrun or rush the seasons of my life. No matter how hard I worked or how positive I tried to be, I was in a necessary season of loss and transformation. What emerged from this dark period – a podcast, a creator network called "Sovereign," and a deeper spiritual understanding – were seeds planted during years of drought that are only now beginning to sprout.

    Perhaps our life stories are pre-written, not by some external force, but by our own souls before we incarnate. If that's true, then everything I've experienced, even the most painful moments, was destined and chosen for my evolution. This perspective has helped me find meaning in suffering and trust in my journey.

    Listen to this episode if you're going through your own dark season and need reassurance that your invisible progress matters. Your story is uniquely yours – honor it, trust it, and keep going.

  • The Drought That Shaped Me: Finding Sovereignty in Life's Darkest Seasons
    2025/07/23

    Send us a text

    The turning point came when I couldn't pay my Wi-Fi bill. After decades of responsible financial management, I found myself at 50, alone in a three-bedroom cottage, watching my resources completely disappear despite my best efforts. This wasn't the comfortable, settled midlife I had envisioned as a child.

    My journey through what astrologers call a "Pluto square Sun" transit stripped away everything I thought defined me—financial security, partnership, even my sense of pride and purpose. Family members urged me to "get a real job" instead of pursuing coaching and content creation. Yet something within kept pushing me forward, planting seeds in seemingly barren ground while enduring judgment and isolation.

    The paradox was that while I knew intellectually what this astrological transit might bring, I fought it every step of the way. I decorated rooms for lodgers who never came, promoted services that attracted few clients, and tried desperately to maintain appearances while my foundation crumbled. What I didn't realize was that no amount of effort would accelerate me through this necessary season of transformation.

    Only now, emerging on the other side, can I see how those difficult years prepared me for new growth. From the depths of that struggle came my podcast, a creator network aptly named "Sovereign," and a clearer understanding of my purpose. The seeds planted in darkness are finally beginning to sprout, not because I forced them but because the season has naturally begun to shift.

    This episode explores the delicate balance between fate and free will, the power of honoring rather than resisting life's seasons, and the often invisible nature of our most significant progress. As my grandmother wisely said, "We have come from far"—a simple yet profound acknowledgment of the journey.

    Whether you're currently navigating your own difficult season or witnessing someone else's struggle, this raw conversation offers perspective on finding sovereignty through surrender, recognizing the divine plan behind our challenges, and giving ourselves grace as we become the best versions of ourselves.

    What season are you in right now? And are you fighting it or honoring it?

  • Navigating the Shifting Landscape: A Creator's Guide to Building Through Uncertainty
    2025/07/23

    Send us a text

    Something profound is happening in the creator economy. The spaces we once considered safe havens for authentic expression are shifting beneath our feet. Brands that loudly championed diversity initiatives are quietly retreating, leaving many creators—particularly creators of colour—watching their opportunities dwindle from dozens of partnerships to barely a handful.

    This isn't personal, but it is deeply political. The undercurrents that began flowing during the pandemic and social justice movements of 2020 have now surfaced as a stark reality: visibility, when rented rather than owned, can be swiftly withdrawn. For creators who built careers on platforms they don't control, this revelation demands a fundamental rethinking of purpose and strategy.

    I believe we're entering a season that belongs to the builders—those focused not on fleeting viral moments but on creating something quieter and more foundational. The truth I've discovered through my own journey is liberating: you don't need 100,000 followers or even 1,000 to make a meaningful impact. What matters is drilling down into your unique service and making it discoverable whether someone follows you or not. This approach has sustained countless creators through perceived droughts, often without them realizing the resilient foundation they were building. If you're creating without clear direction, don't worry. Seek support and remember that while the final destination may remain uncertain, what truly matters is your present intention and the authentic connections you forge along the way. Are you ready to build something that lasts beyond the applause?

  • Building Your Creative Legacy

    Are you tired of faceless agencies making empty promises about your creative potential? Welcome to a different approach to the creator economy.

    When I first joined TikTok in 2023, I was bombarded with messages from anonymous "agents" claiming they could transform my digital presence if I just followed their formula. The reality? Disconnection, disappointment, and the uncomfortable suggestion that I compromise my authentic content for monetization. After navigating these frustrating waters and experiencing platform limitations firsthand, I discovered what creators truly need: genuine connection, honest guidance, and a supportive community.

    This revelation led to the birth of Sovren UK Creator Network. As an officially approved TikTok Creator Network Manager, I'm building something fundamentally different—a community where UK-based creators receive personalized coaching, strategic guidance, and the honest truth about what it takes to succeed. We're not chasing viral moments or overnight fame; we're cultivating sustainable creative careers through authentic engagement and purposeful content.

    What makes this opportunity unique? The coaching is completely free to creators, as TikTok compensates network managers based on creator success. This creates perfectly aligned incentives—your growth directly contributes to collective achievement. Whether you're a musician, artist, storyteller, entrepreneur, or someone with

  • The Universe Doesn't Give You What You Want Until You Do What You Need

    From the darkest corners of childhood trauma to the unexpected lessons of an allotment garden gone wrong, this raw exploration of maternal relationships and self-discovery beautifully illustrates how our deepest wounds can become our greatest teachers.

    At 50, Lita finds herself facing financial vulnerability that forces her to turn to her mother for help – reopening decades of unresolved trauma and revealing painful truths about their relationship. The devastating moment her mother admits her fondest memory is of Lita as a happy toddler becomes a catalyst for profound understanding: some people will never see us clearly, no matter how much we accomplish.

    This deeply personal episode weaves together parallel stories of boundary violations – from a community allotment where Lita's wishes were repeatedly ignored to the childhood home where her voice was consistently dismissed. Through these painful mirrors, she discovers the liberation that comes from walking away from situations and relationships that no longer serve our highest good.

    "I am now coming to the end of what has been a life of survival," Lita reflects, highlighting the pivotal realization that working ourselves to exhaustion in jobs that drain our spirit only perpetuates struggle. Her journey illustrates how aligning with our soul's purpose – even when it seems financially risky – often creates the very pathway to both inner peace and material stability.

    Whether you're navigating difficult family dynamics, struggling to establish healthy boundaries, or seeking to transition from mere survival to genuine thriving, this episode offers hard-won wisdom and gentle encouragement. Through tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques and astrology, Lita demonstrates how we can process our pain while continuing to grow. Join her community of healing and transformation – where your story matters and your authentic self is waiting to be reclaimed.

  • Facing Down Exhaustion and Finding Peace
    2025/06/15

    Send us a text

    Exhaustion meets optimism in this raw, reflective episode where I explore the contradictions of reaching 50 and finding life less settled than I'd imagined. I dive deep into the complex dance between others' perceptions and our own truth, revealing how the criticism we receive often says more about the giver than ourselves.

    Through personal stories of childhood labeling and family dynamics, I share how leaving home at 17 transformed my academic performance—even winning a national writing prize—proving that the boxes others place us in rarely define our true potential. You'll hear about my journey to create physical and emotional distance from negative influences, not as escape but as a path to authenticity.

    The episode touches on financial struggles and health concerns while exploring the profound freedom that comes with self-knowledge and forgiveness. I reflect on the projection patterns where people accuse others of possessing the very traits they themselves embody, and how recognizing this can free us from taking others' judgments personally. Most powerfully, I share the realization that many who caused pain in my past are trapped in unhappiness of their own making.

    Whether you're navigating difficult relationships, breaking free from others' expectations, or seeking your authentic voice, this episode offers comfort and perspective. Join me in embracing the truth that while none of us can do life alone, knowing yourself means no one can use your story as a weapon against you. What parts of your story have you been letting others write?
