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.A Song for All of Us Podcast: https://asongforallofus.org Alexis Davis, Theta Healer & Guide: https://www.corevisions.net/ Wholehearted Chorus: https://wholeheartedchorus.org

Jeff Kober, Actor/ Vedic Meditation Instructor - Ep 4
In this heart-opening conversation, choir leader and podcast host Lisa Littlebird sits down with actor and Vedic meditation teacher Jeff Kober to ask how we move from polarization toward lasting harmony. Referencing the Gene Keys (especially Key 17 on opinions → farsightedness → omniscience, and Key 51 on trust) as a compass, they explore the fear-driven “survival self,” tribalism, and the ego’s twin traps of smallness and grandiosity. Jeff shares how daily meditation practice has helped him dis-identify from fear, and he shares a story from the stage about leaping into the unknown and discovering real-time trust. Together they reframe spiritual practice as process over product, anchored in service and community—where a shared purpose creates a field that lifts everyone. The episode closes with “When We Sing” by Olivia Fern—an invitation to feel, receive, and join the chorus.https://jeff-kober.com https://asongforallofus.orgWholehearted Chorus Concerts:San Diego, CATuesday, October 14, 7:30-9pmat the Joan Kroc Center in San DiegoWednesday, October 22nd, 7:30-9pmat the Golden State Theater in Monterey, CA

Through heartfelt conversations and music, we explore how to move from division toward harmony in a polarized world. Together, we ask: What does true belonging look like when we differ so deeply? How can we hold healthy boundaries without building walls? And how might both song and conscious inquiry help us dream a more peaceful, loving future into being?
