Your Soul Already Knows: Letting Go, Leaning In, and Listening to Yourself

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Nigma Talib sits down with acclaimed meditation teacher and bestselling author Megan Monahan to explore the deeper layers of inner wisdom, self-trust, and spiritual healing. Megan, a Chopra-certified Vedic meditation teacher and author of Don't Hate, Meditate!, shares her journey from church music director to soul-centered guide, breaking down what it really means to live from intuition—not insecurity.

Together, they unpack the myths around meditation, the difference between “knowing” and “fixing,” and why healing isn’t always about doing more. Megan opens up about personal transformation, navigating fear, creating boundaries, and surrendering to divine timing—all while holding space for humor, honesty, and heart.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your inner guidance, this episode is your invitation to slow down and listen. Because, as Megan says, “Your soul already knows.”

Shame, Sex Ed & Shifting Culture with Lilly Singh

In this bold and empowering episode, Dr. Nigma Talib sits down with global icon and Unicorn Island President Lilly Singh for a refreshingly real conversation about shame, sex, and storytelling. With her new feature film DOIN’ IT—a sex-positive, South Asian coming-of-age comedy—Lilly is breaking boundaries in Hollywood and beyond.

They discuss what it means to challenge cultural taboos, why representation is so personal to her, and how comedy can be a revolutionary tool for healing generational wounds. Lilly opens up about the emotional toll of high-achieving success, her own journey of unlearning shame, and the joy of creating a character who’s figuring it all out in real-time.

This episode is an honest, often hilarious, and deeply human look at how we can use our platforms to rewrite the rules—for ourselves and others.

Whether you’re navigating identity, challenging inherited beliefs, or just want to laugh and feel seen, Lilly brings her signature honesty, depth, and fire.
