In this heart-centered and often hilarious episode, Wholehearted Chorus founder Lisa Littlebird is joined by her fiancé John Halcyon Styn for a raw and uplifting conversation about love, growth, vulnerability, and gratitude in relationship. Together they explore what it means to “stay in harmony” — both literally (as choir members) and emotionally, through the everyday work of partnership.

They open up about the edges of vulnerability:
🎵 How John joined Lisa’s choir at age 54 — confronting old fears of “doing it wrong.”
💗 How both partners practice radical honesty through tools like “What’s something you don’t want to tell me?”
🙏 How daily gratitude rituals reshape their connection and resilience.
💬 The healing power of revealing truth rather than performing perfection.
🌈 Why real harmony in love isn’t about never clashing — it’s about learning to listen and come back together.

The episode weaves music, laughter, and spiritual insight — including Lisa singing her original “Bridging Heart Song”, a soulful anthem of empathy and mutual care. Through playful humor and deep reflection, Lisa and John model how authentic communication, gratitude, and commitment can transform relationships into spiritual practice.

Highlights include:

• Facing discomfort as a path to growth

• Healing performance wounds and people-pleasing

• Building emotional safety through honesty and compassion

• Gratitude as a daily anchor and perspective shifter

• Commitment as “no exit” — choosing connection over separation

In this intimate dialogue, Lisa Littlebird sits down with friend and Wholehearted Chorus member Alexis Davis to explore the 31st Gene Key — the evolutionary path from arrogance to true humility as a pathway to healing collective division. Together they unpack how real leadership emerges not from perfection or performance, but from courageous self-honesty.

Lisa and Alexis dive into how our hidden parts can be met with compassion instead of shame, and how singing together reveals our truest vibration — the part of us that can’t hide behind words. They examine the ego’s subtler forms of humility, the trap of righteousness, and the liberating power of curiosity, self-forgiveness, and relational interdependence.

This episode is a masterclass in heart-led growth: from self-flagellation to self-acceptance, from convincing to emanating love, from independence to sacred interdependence. The conversation closes with a live rendition of one of Wholehearted Chorus’s 2025 season songs, “Humble”, by Chhaya I-chèle — a collective prayer in song reminding us that when we bow low in humility, we lift each other up.
