According to Dr. Shelly Harrell, soulfulness is a healing, transformative depth of experience that brings us into our interconnected presence. In this special Juneteenth episode, Diana and Dr. Harrell explore the wisdom of African-centered traditions that bring us a more soulful way of living. Dr. Harell shares how she came to soulfulness, the relationship between mindfulness and soulfulness and the role of soulfulness in liberation from oppression-related trauma.
