Movement Soul Collective Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Movement Soul Collective the podcast! My name is Stefani McCullah, your host. I am a personal trainer turned life coach, fascinated by all aspects of and mysteries of being human, the mind, body and spirit alike. I created the Movement Soul Collective to connect, inspire and learn from like-minded soul- led entrepreneurs and leaders as we traverse the ups and downs of taking the off beaten path, asking life’s big questions and creating a space where you feel less alone on your own journey. I hope that in these snippets of my personal truth, and other stories, you hear something that resonates and takes you into your own depths. It’s my personal belief that when we find our light and live our light we light the path for others to do the same. Thanks for joining me! Let’s dive in!

A Grounded Take On Spirituality, Creativity And Intentional Living with Spiritual Director and Founder of Nuos Formation, Julie Barrios

May 01, 2024 • Stefani McCullah

Ep. 028- This podcast episode features a thoughtful conversation between the host and Julie, a spiritual director who specializes in working with creatives and innovators. Julie shares her beliefs about spirituality being deeply embodied and the importance of developing capacities to stay present with God, self, others, and all of creation. The conversation explores the challenges of living a surrendered life in a proactive, intentional culture, like San Francisco, and the importance of cultivating deep, meaningful friendships. Julie underscores the significance of living by a constellation of values rather than chasing superficial goals, discussing her own experiences with spirituality, creativity, and forming the consultancy, NUOS, with a focus on anti-hustle culture and genuine, creative engagement with the world. The episode also touches on Julie's personal challenges, the distinction between perseverance and striving, and the importance of spiritual direction in navigating life's pilgrimage, engaging with one's inner world, and the communal aspect of spirituality. Additionally, Julie introduces the hallway mission concept, focused on artistic and theological collaboration, and shares insights for the next generation on taking reflective beats to understand one's inner world and respond to the world from a place of love and curiosity.
