Heartfulness eMagazine|March 2022
Tami Simon is the founder of the multimedia, Sounds True, and the educational program, The Inner MBA. Tami has grown Sounds True into North America's leading publisher of spoken-word spiritual teachings, and one of the world's very first organizations to operate along genuinely integral principles, with the emphasis on "multiple bottom lines" of purpose, profit, people, and planet. Here she speaks with Emilie Mogensen about the origins of Sounds True, and her own journey of disseminating spiritual wisdom.

Sounds True

Q: I am a big fan of Tami and Thave been listening to her soothing voice for hours and hours, in her extraordinary podcasts and interviews with various thought leaders and spiritual teachers from around the world. This is because Tami is the founder of Sounds True, one of the largest multimedia platforms in the field of consciousness. Tami is also the founder of the educational program, The Inner MBA, a collaboration between Sounds True, LinkedIn, Wisdom 2.0, and Mindful NYU. A normal MBA is a Masters in Business Administration, whereas The Inner MBA is about how to run a a business from the inside out, in a conscious way.

I am truly grateful to have this opportunity to speak to Tami. As an entrepreneur and a student at The Inner MBA, it means a lot for my own personal journey. I start our conversation with a little co-creation. Inspired by the yogic wisdom traditions, I invite Tami to do a sankalpa. It's a way of sending out an intention, a prayerful suggestion for how we want this meeting to unfold. Tami is all in! With our eyes closed, we hold space for the words and the energy, as I guide the sankalpa:

We are creating a free and open environment, where we speak our inner truth and hold space for curiosity, unity, and connection. May this conversation benefit the entire humanity and Mother Earth.

Welcome Tami and thank you for doing this. I would like to start with your very impressive journey as an entrepreneur, from the age of 21.

First, let me thank you for starting us on that note of curiosity, openness, unity, service, and contribution.

How Does Fear Affect Our Roles as Mothers? - Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda

Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda, and realizes the importance of removing fear from our hearts in order to nurture our children.For young women like myself, who are future mothers, I trust we are on the path of becoming selfaware and brutally honest with ourselves. We are creative beings, never forgetting the gifts with which we have been bestowed— the love and tenderness, natural instincts, and intuition to feel the right path. It all lies in the mysterious meanderings of the heart. Are we really listening to our hearts, or confusing the bombarding information on social media with reality?
