Soul Decodes

In this episode, Dr. Phillips examines how first principles function as the underlying architecture of a meaningful soul journey. Tia Jolie defines first principles as truths that exist prior to culture, belief systems, institutions, or identity—principles that operate whether we acknowledge them or not. When life aligns with these truths, coherence emerges. When they are ignored or violated, confusion, fragmentation, and unnecessary suffering follow.

Tia Jolie challenges the assumption that growth requires becoming something new. Instead, she argues that the soul’s work is largely about remembering what is already true. Beauty, power, and freedom are not...

Wright's journey began with a fascination with sports and the human body, leading him to physical therapy.

Initially skeptical of alternative approaches, Wr...

Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri welcome Mike Solis to the Treehouse Studio for Episode 63 where an unguarded conversation about transformation and the courage to live differently opens up.

Mike begins the conversation by recounting his happy childhood experiences which were followed at age 17 by the realization that despite healthy outward appearances ‘meaning’ was lacking in his life’s experience.

Dr. Tia Jolie and Sarah Tirri kick off this episode of Soul Decodes with a real life story that quickly pivots from a messy domestic issue to profound philosophical territory. Sarah recounts the chaos that erupted when raccoons (or something suspicious) ransacked her garbage cans, spreading 400 pages of an old manuscript, Styrofoam, and food scraps all over her driveway. While tidying up the mess (and getting a good hamstring workout!), a man in a truck pulled up—a raccoon catcher, complete with a caged raccoon. This suspicious timing immediately raised a red flag for Sarah and her husband: was th...

Episode 60 opens with Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri celebrating a sweet milestone—sixty episodes and a carrot cake on the table.

Tia Jolie shares a Florida fall garden update—brassicas, tomatoes, radishes, and of course carrots—contrasting Michigan beginnings with Florida’s growing rhythm.

That seed talk widens into intention and manifestation. The pair note how...

In Episode 59, Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips and author Sarah Tirri open inside the Treehouse Studio under a blanket of fog from two Atlantic storms, using the day’s weather as a gateway to talk about how climate—and our inner climate—shifts. The conversation stays grounded: yes, weather changes; yes, seasons swing; and while big narratives can feel chaotic, personal agency still matters.

Soul Decodes opens with co-hosts Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri welcoming listeners from Central Florida and resetting the premise: this is an unscripted space where “decoding the soul” means decoding the whole human experience. No answer is precluded, and even charged topics become invitations to ask, “What does this mean for my journey?”

The women wade into a timely question: how should the internet handle content? Rather than censoring creators, they consider an approach that empowers audiences. Using AI, a listener (or a parent/educator) could set preferences—PG-13, grade-school safe, topic filters—so content is tuned to the...

In this episode of Soul Decodes, Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri lead a bold conversation about the deep patterns shaping society, religion, and freedom. They open with the concept of false flags, events often staged or exploited to redirect public opinion and justify sweeping policy changes. These manipulations, they argue, are not new; history is filled with examples where religious wars were less about faith and more about control. By recognizing these patterns, listeners can better understand how public fear has long been weaponized to centralize power.

The dialogue transitions into one of today’s most po...
