In this episode of Soul Decodes, Tia Jolie Phillips and Sarah Tirri explore their personal thresholds for conflict, compassion and when to walk away; diving into the human experience of ego, conflict, and the often messy process of soul refinement through interpersonal drama.

The women review the ego and its many disguises with Sarah sharing a recent emotionally charged encounter with a poet she intended to publish. Despite her charitable, entrepreneurial intentions and clear editorial expertise, the poet rejected all feedback on his first draft, insisted his work remain untouched, and eventually lashed out in a vitriolic email accusing her of potential plagiarism. Tia Jolie validates the pain of the experience while steering the conversation into soul-level wisdom. She encourages the practice of separating behavior from character, suggesting that divine light always prevails, even when we are tempted to respond with defensiveness.

Tia Jolie shares similar experiences from her past—including a divorce and navigating friends’ chaotic separations—pointing out the spiritual opportunity embedded in these difficult moments. They distinguish between egoic reaction and soulful restraint, emphasizing that spiritual sovereignty doesn’t mean being a doormat, but instead embodying grace and light even amid emotional storms.

This episode also revisits the broader implications of expectations in adult agreements, with an insightful tangent into the Colin Kaepernick controversy and the nature of voluntary contracts. The conversation remains grounded in compassion, even as the hosts acknowledge their own moments of righteous indignation. The women wrap up by discussing the power of handwritten apologies, accountability, and the liberating act of clearing emotional debris.

Sarah announces some future projects—two books nearing completion, and a novel where Tia Jolie will appear as a winged angel (naturally). As always, they invite listeners to stay curious, stay kind, and stay connected at www.TiaJolie.com, www.SarahTirri.com, and www.SoulDecodes.com.
