What I’ve learned as a podcast guest and what I now know is the importance of sharing liberating lessons, listening soulfully, and recognizing that my journey of self-discovery is my own, even as I walk the road with many others. I’ve come to realize that many of us are on a journey of self-actualization. We’re learning how to build bridges around our differences to foster acceptance. These experiences are humbling and enlightening, inspiring us to be true to ourselves.
I now know every podcast is like stepping into the pages of a new book. It’s an opportunity to build meaningful interactions with a complete stranger while learning about their mission, passion, and purpose. It’s an intimate experience.
During our time together, I realize that we have much in common, as well as many differences. No, we aren’t identical, how could we be as each one of us as a Divine spark within that is unlike any other and is here on a very special mission. But what we do share is the yearning to create a meaningful life, a life that matters, and to serve more than just ourselves. And yes, for many of us it goes beyond just making money.
I believe a life well lived centers around bringing your true self to life in business and life. When you find your true self, life begins to open up and you get to do what you came here to do; evolve your soul, live your truth and bring meaning and passion to all you encounter!

Learning Is The True Power Of Podcasting
Podcasting to me is eerily similar to the radio scene…OK yep I’m an oldie but a goodie.:). In fact I worked at WNOR in Virginia and it’s still humming along. I may share some of my wild days at the station in the future, but for now…
I understand why podcasting is more popular today than radio. It’s more personal, soulful, and real. Despite some podcasters appearing more radioesque, podcasters are sharing their voice, their soul, and what truly matters to them, while nurturing and fostering communities online.
Tell me what podcasts you regularly listen to or if you’ve ever listened to those listed below. I’d love to know!
My Podcast Appearances & What I’ve Learned as a Podcast Guest
First, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every podcast host who invited me to share my journey. While I may not have a million followers or celebrity status, I believe each host recognized my genuine passion for helping others embrace their true selves.
These discussions offered a sneak peek into my debut book, Unpack Your Personality: Let Your Inner Guide Be Your Travel Guide, which presents a unique perspective on how a spiritually infused Myers-Briggs framework can align you with your true self, fostering personal and spiritual growth. Interestingly, these conversations sparked deeper dialogues around:
- Embracing Imperfection
- Personal Growth Through Crisis
- Spiritual Approach to Myers Briggs
- Authentic Self Expression
- Travel As The Way Forward
I truly hope one or all of these podcasts brings you a new perspective, a new direction in life, and a new way for your to see just how magnificent you really are. Nina Zapala, Author, Teacher, Founder of Spiritual Personality Typing

Clarity Session
You know what they say: “Necessity is the mother of invention.” After years on the psychiatrist’s couch, countless masterclasses, and working with various coaches, I still felt like something was off. I was struggling—lost without my voice, my vision, and any clear solution in sight.
Then came my life tsunami. It was through embracing spirit-driven teachings and the psychological tools of Dr. Nix, Ph.D., that I uncovered my true calling: Spiritual Personality Typing (SPT). This emerging typology is a roadmap to your authentic self, bridging your soul (higher consciousness) with your personality (the soul in action). It’s perfect for business who desire to successfully weather these transformative times.
I offer bespoke 1:1 clarity sessions that just may be what you need to stop merely living your life and start creating the life of your dreams!”
“Working with Nina helped me remove the blind spots that were holding me back”, Judith Wilms, TedX, Author. A bespoke clarity session maybe just what you need to stop living your life and instead create the life of your dreams!
