Jennifer Regular, The Soul Illuminator

Hi there. My name is Avil Beckford, and I am the host of the One Problem podcast. We know that there are tons of problems in the world. We don't want to get overwhelmed, so we're tackling them one problem at a time. Most of the people who come on as my guests, I have some prior relationship with them. And that's the case with my guest today, Jennifer Regular. She is the Soul Illuminator. She was introduced to me by a friend. Now, Jennifer, over to you.

Thank you, Avil. Yes, the problem that I see for myself and for others, because I always have a big picture of you, is that we forget who we are. And what we're meant to be doing. And that can create many other problems. By forgetting who we are, can lead to addictions, mental health issues, and past self doubt. It can lead us into imposter syndrome, never really feeling that we belong, where we're feeling situated, where we're feeling comfortable, where we're feeling on purpose, where we're feeling fulfilled.

And I experienced that throughout my lifetime. I was going from job to job, mostly in social services. I was just trying to find that entry point that gave me the space to really support people in gaining insight into who they truly were. What gifts they're here to share in the world, gather their skills and abilities, get in touch with their potency, the greatest impact they can have. And first, I had to journey through that myself. When I was just 10 years old, this was already a big problem for me about how society and others became dispirited by authorities. And expectations and all of that with not being able to be in touch with who we are.

The One Problem with Jennifer Regular: Not Being in Touch with Who You Are

And it was many years later, in journeying through life in many positions, that I ended up publishing the book called Embrace Your Power, a healing journal of self-discovery. It was really getting back to the source of our inspiration, becoming spirited once again, reclaiming our spiritual sovereignty. This could override imposter syndrome, that no longer cast self doubt because then we were back in touch with our values, with what was really important. And then to simplify our life by devoting it to what we are most about, to recognizing what we stood for.

And so that's what I had to realize, is what I stood for. What is it I wanted to be here on this Earth to do? And what's the best way for me to do that? So allowing yourself the courage to change, to pivot, to not try to get boxed in and belong, and try to fix something that's broken, rather than getting in touch with that creative inspiration, reclaiming your inner visionary, reclaiming that spiritual sovereignty, really being able to keep your spirit intact so that you can step into your deeper passion.

The way I see passion is when you break up the word, it's Pass I On. That I is your soul's expression of what you're here to pass on in this lifetime. This solves all of that.

You've given me something to think about. That's really good. I think my listeners will enjoy this one because there are lots of nuggets in what you said, and it's a lot of food for thought. Yes, it's really important for us to embrace who we are and I always embrace myself, warts and all. Thank you so much, Jennifer.

It's been a pleasure. Thank you.
