The Wild Sovereign Soul Show
Lian Brook-Tyler & Jonathan Wilkinson: Wild Sovereign Soul
It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, The Wild Sovereign Soul Show is what we know will help. The show is a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, that's been evolving since 2014, with over 500 episodes and counting - prepare to be inspired, guided, and activated by deep, soul-stirring explorations.
Wild Sovereign Soul helps soul seekers find their way home in this crazy modern world, released from the cycles of overwhelm, loneliness, and endless self-improvement, to remember who they truly are, finally set free to live a life of deep meaning, embodied ease, and love.
Our people are the divergent ones (neurodivergent or otherwise), in short, those who are unwilling or unable to conform to the status quo. You will know yourself to be a divergent one if you've thought things like:
"This can't be all there is…"
"There has to be another way…"
"I can't be the only person who is seeing what I see…"
Divergent ones are "the others" as Timothy Leary so evocatively described people like us.
The heart of the show is simple… It's for those of us who feel something essential is being lost over time: the relationship with the body and land, inner authority and agency, and a sense of being guided from within rather than shaped by cultural conditioning, external pressure, and fear. And so these conversations, explorations, and transmissions are here to guide you to reclaim your wildness, actualise your sovereignty, and awaken your soul.
Each month, our co-founders Lian and Jonathan sit down to speak into the themes of the modern world as they are actually living them, sharing what they're noticing in their own lives and work with clients and students, alongside questions from the team and listeners.
Once a month, Lian hosts a live solo episode, The All The Everything Show, which flows more like a workshop or master class than a broadcast, going deep on a single theme through science, spirituality, and story, with space for real-time engagement and reflection.
Alongside this, the show welcomes carefully chosen guests, including remarkable thinkers, wisdom keepers, visionaries, and healers, whose work aligns with the Wild Sovereign Soul path and brings additional perspective and depth.
Since 2014, we have amassed a rich cornucopia of hundreds of episodes weaving ancient ways into modern days, drawing from animism and shamanism, embodiment, rewilding, mythopoetic and archetypal work, shadow work, astrology, non-dual spirituality, plant medicine, and more, always grounded in lived experience.
Together, these conversations offer grounded insight, orientation and inspiration for being wild, sovereign, and soul-led in a culture that often pulls us away from what truly matters. Each episode is also an invitation to go deeper in UNIO, the living home of the Wild Sovereign Soul path, where this work is practised together in community.
Listen now, and join your kin for the conversation your soul has been longing for.
With our love and blessings,
Lian & Jonathan

How to take back your power from your phone - Dr Kristen Race
This week's show is with Dr Kristen Race, a bestselling author, Head of Mindfulness for Solvasa™, and Founder of Mindful Life™. A world-renowned expert in the field of mindfulness, Kristen's programs and services are rooted in neuroscience and designed to build resilience to modern day stress. As a business owner and mother of two teenagers, Kristen understands that life is busy! She focuses her work on making mindfulness practices accessible and easily incorporated into our daily lives. Instead of chasing the elusive goal of work / life balance, she creates simple exercises to bring balance to our brains. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA TODAY and CNN, to name a few. She is a two-time TEDx speaker and has trained over 50,000 leaders in her methods worldwide. In today's show we spoke about the changing world and how we've ended up as a species dealing with a brand new challenge and probably our biggest one in our history: our relationship to technology, and specifically our digital devices. We explored the terrain of today's world, the potentially harmful effects on the brain, the addictive nature of tech and how you can reclaim your sovereignty and choose to use your mobile device from a conscious place. I wasn't expecting to find this show as interesting as I did, so don't worry if you're not into mindfulness or neuroscience, if you're a human who has a phone and is interested in living in an aligned and wild way, I think you'll find this a very useful episode.

How to create your life in a non-linear way - James Tripp
This week's show is with my fourth-time guest, the amazing James Tripp, an internationally recognised and respected educator, consultant and coach in the fields of personal transformation, hypnosis, influential communication and personal efficacy. Working from an eclectic background including philosophy, music, mentalism, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the critically acclaimed Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnosis. Beyond his work with private clients, James runs open workshops internationally, with his London and UK based workshops typically drawing students from around the world. In today's show we spoke about something that's very much alive for both of us... you could call that working with magic or non-linear ways of being. This is a way of living in which we co-create with the complex world around us, knowing we can't control how things unfold and yet still creating towards a vision or intention. Even that this was the topic of the show and then the way the conversation unfolded was a perfect example of that. As ever, this show with James was so timely for me and went very deep. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did co-creating it with him!

How to free your inner child from shame - Joshua FalconCrest
Hello my beautiful people! A huge warm welcome back to the show. In today's crazy modern world, men and women are living shallow, disconnected and unfulfilling lives. So we created the path for those who are ready, to reclaim their wildness and actualise their deepest gifts. If you're a man and your life is lacking real purpose and meaning (you may not know what it is but you feel deep down that you're here for something more… something bigger, bolder, heart-felt and soul-led) you're feeling isolated, lonely and lacking the support and mentorship of men who really get you (and this only grows with each year that passes) If you're a woman and your body is calling to you to listen to her (she calls in many ways… pain, shame, numbness, tension and sometimes a clear "Yes, this way.") you're so over trying to do and have it all, whilst feeling more worn out and less fulfilled (it *is* possible to live a rich, full life but it rarely happens through being the 'nice girl' or the 'ball breaker') If you resonated with any of those, then first of all, I hear you. You're really not alone, we keep seeing this in the men and women around us, even ones who are a way along their personal growth or spiritual paths, and that's we created Waking The Wild F and M. They're potent circles to support you in discovering your soul path and expressing your heart's truth whilst being fully seen and held by a circle of your fellow men or women. It really is the most powerful, activating magic we know of! You can let us know you're feeling the call to either of those by going along to either primalhappiness.co/wtwf for Waking The Wild Feminine or primalhappiness.co/wtwm for Waking The Wild Masculine. If these are calling to you then we look forward to seeing you in circle soon. And now onto this week's show, it's with Joshua FalconCrest, Joshua is a leadership development trainer, filmmaker, author, and speaker. He loves using story and technology to assist people in remembering their true nature. He's the creator of DaoPlay – an intuitively guided role-playing experience designed to escort people through their own personal "movie scenes" – the very situations they need to experience in order to release the past and to reclaim their personal power. In this week's show, Joshua and I explored the topic of relating to our inner child as the same as relating to our bodies. The power of opening the pockets of shame created by trauma and how we can enter into this work in a deeply nurturing and impactful way. This was such a deep and complex show but with profoundly simple and practical takeaways, I hope you take as much away from it as i did. Let's dive in!

How to rewild your pregnancy - Sian Marie Pilkington
This week's show is with Siân Marie Pilkington, a woman of wordcraft, mother to four, deep rooted energy worker, herbalist, birth attendant, retreat facilitator, and a community creator. In her own words "I honoured the medicine of The Mother by hearing + following the call to become a birth worker + with every child that I witness be born, whether to stay or to leave + with every lesson I learn about the ignorance of patriarchy in a goddess' birthing space + with every autonomous decision for a woman to roar and catch her own child + the angels that I see guide souls down from the corner of the room, I found + find sacred rage + glowing holiness all at once. I learned how to meld + be a container not just for my offering of legacy but for the workings of women resisting the old paradigm as well as those who could see no way out." In this week's show, Sian and I talked about rewilding pregnancy. Why this is what our culture needs right now and what it means on an individual and practical level for a woman wanting to walk this sacred path. I found this a deeply healing and inspiring episode despite having left the pregnancy stage of my life. This is something I think all of us would benefit from listening to, whatever stage of life we're in.

Is there life after the 3 principles? - Amir Karkouti and Lian
This week's show is with Amir Karkouti and it's a little different to our usual episode format. Amir is a Transformative Coach, a business owner, author, speaker, recovery centre volunteer, an old friend and someone who has been a guest on this show in it's early days - 5 years ago in fact! This was in our first evolution when this show was called The Born Happy Show and our focus was all about a spiritual teaching called the Three Principles, also known as the 3Ps. This episode is particularly focused around the 3Ps but there will also be much of value here if you've walked any spiritual path. The background to this episode is that I reached out to Amir inspired by a completely out-of-the-blue idea "What if Amir and I created a show about the 3Ps from the perspective of where we each are now on our paths...him: successfully living, teaching and coaching from a 3Ps understanding, and me: having had a huge transformation seven years ago thanks to the 3Ps, spending several years coaching and teaching from that understanding, and then subsequently having transitioned away onto other things?" I knew that Amir was someone with a wide open mind and a huge heart, and was someone with whom I could co-create a deep and honest conversation about… How we each see the 3Ps and the community Our thoughts on the struggles and the disillusionment we see show up Life after the 3Ps Beyond all the dogma and controversy, the huge benefit we see in people 'waking up' via this path. This was recorded as a live webinar in Amir's group so you'll hear us take questions from our audience as well as all the other fun and games that happen on a live webinar! If you've been on the 3Ps path... this episode answers all the questions you've been afraid to ask ;)
