We recently had the chance to connect with Ragan Thomson and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Ragan, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Are you walking a path—or wandering?
A meaningful part of my journey has been awakening from a very early age with a sense of joy, sensitivity, and spiritual awareness. I came into the world with a natural aliveness. Then, as I grew and absorbed the environment around me, I slowly went to sleep. I was highly empathic and sensitive, and I took on the struggles and emotions of the people close to me without knowing how to equalize any of it. Life began to feel confusing. I moved from one identity to another, from tennis to other pursuits, feeling unsure of where I belonged. In those seasons, it felt as if I was wandering.
Later, when I experienced a serious chapter of illness and deep emotional exhaustion, I felt even more lost. My path no longer looked clear. It seemed as though everything I once relied on had dissolved. That experience created an inner sense of drifting, even though I longed to feel connected again.
In time, as I healed and awakened, I realized something essential. I had never been wandering. I had been learning. Every chapter, even the painful ones, carried a purpose. Each experience was guiding me toward the work I do today. The feeling of being lost was simply a reflection of how disconnected I felt from my own inner truth at the time.
Now I recognize that the path has always been precise in its design. Every step served my awakening. Today, I walk with greater awareness. I listen to my soul, feel for alignment, and trust what life is shaping within me. The path reveals itself when we choose presence. We return to it each time we wake up to who we really are.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Ragan Thomson. I am a spiritual guide, writer, and facilitator devoted to helping individuals return to the truth of who they are. My work focuses on conscious awakening, emotional healing, and remembering the innate wisdom that lives within each of us. I believe every person carries a divine spark that can become hidden through conditioning, and my purpose is to support the gentle revealing of that inner light.
This calling was shaped through my own journey. For many years, I lived from patterns of pressure and striving, and I felt disconnected from my most authentic self. When I began the deeper inner work of listening, clearing, and aligning, something shifted. I learned that when we do the inner work, when we clear and awaken our own energy, we naturally expand our capacity to serve. Healing creates space for compassion and steadiness, and the transformation within becomes the strength of what we share with the world.
My offerings reflect this understanding. Through classes, retreats, writing, and conscious healing work, I guide individuals through layers of fear, resistance, and old beliefs so they can experience more clarity, presence, and connection. My spaces are created to feel grounded, nurturing, and supportive of real inner change.
Service is also a significant part of my mission. I founded the Thomson Global Impact Fund to support humanitarian projects, women’s empowerment, and initiatives that uplift vulnerable communities. I am passionate about amplifying youth-led ideas and celebrating the next generation of leaders who understand technology’s influence on humanity and its potential to create meaningful change. This work reminds me that spiritual growth and compassionate action can move together with intention and integrity.
At this time, I am completing new writing projects, expanding my offerings for conscious living, and continuing the growth of the Thomson Global Impact Fund. Everything I share is guided by one intention: to help others come home to themselves and to support a more awakened and compassionate world.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
The bonds between people often break when fear enters the space between us. Fear creates separation in many forms. It shows up as judgment, comparison, defensiveness, or the need to be right. When these patterns take hold, the heart begins to close. Communication becomes strained and we forget that every person carries a tender inner world that longs to be seen with understanding.
Disconnection also appears when we stop listening. When we move through life quickly or react from old wounds, we lose our ability to meet one another with presence. Relationships begin to feel transactional rather than soulful, and the natural warmth between people fades.
Restoration begins with awareness. When we soften into compassion and take responsibility for our own inner landscape, the space between us shifts. Healing the bonds is not about fixing others. It begins within. When we clear what is unresolved inside ourselves, we create room for patience, empathy, and sincere connection.
What restores us most is presence. When we listen without defending, when we speak with honesty rather than fear, and when we choose understanding instead of reactivity, relationships begin to mend. Trust grows through consistency. Love grows through humility. Unity grows through shared willingness.
I have learned through my work and my own life that healing within naturally supports healing with others. When our heart is steady, we meet people with more clarity and less projection. We see their humanity rather than the surface of their behavior. In that space, bonds that once felt strained can become stronger than before.
True connection is restored when we remember that every person is a part of the same sacred whole. When we honor this truth, even small gestures of presence can bring us back to one another.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds of my life have been the moments when I felt disconnected from my own truth. From a young age, I carried a sense of responsibility to be who others needed me to be. I learned to prioritize harmony over honesty and external expectations over inner guidance. This created a quiet ache within me. The ache was a feeling of living beside my soul rather than from it.
I also experienced periods of deep emotional pain during times when relationships shifted, identities dissolved, or pieces of my life fell away. Each of these moments revealed how much I had been holding on to roles, beliefs, and patterns that did not reflect my authentic self. These losses felt heavy, and they opened the door to grief, fear, and uncertainty.
My healing began when I stopped turning away from these wounds and allowed myself to feel them. Healing required presence rather than control. I learned to sit with the discomfort and listen to what it was asking of me. The more I softened, the more I realized that the wound was not a punishment. It was an invitation to return to myself.
I dedicated myself to inner work, conscious clearing, and deep emotional inquiry. Through spiritual practice, somatic awareness, and honest self-reflection, I began to release the layers that kept my heart guarded. I learned how to recognize conditioning, how to sit with old pain without losing myself in it, and how to trust the quiet voice of my inner guidance.
I discovered that healing is not about erasing what happened. It is about integrating the wisdom within each experience. Every wound I have carried has revealed a part of me that was longing to be reclaimed. As I healed, I felt more aligned, more compassionate, and more connected to others.
The healing process continues every day. Healing is a living movement. It is the way we return again and again to truth, to presence, and to the deeper knowing that we are held. Each layer revealed has strengthened my capacity to serve, to understand, and to walk with others on their journey home to themselves.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I am deeply committed to developing what I call The Soul School, which is the working name for a larger vision that continues to unfold. The name will evolve as the project matures. For now, it serves as a placeholder for a living, spiritual curriculum devoted to remembering who we are as eternal souls. This project is still in development and not yet available to the public, although the foundation is being built with care and intention.
The concept is rooted in the understanding that every person is a radiant soul experiencing life through a human vessel. Each individual carries an inner light that is endless in potential and limitless in capacity for growth. When we awaken to this truth and cultivate inner peace, clarity, and compassion, we naturally transform the world around us. The Soul School exists to support that transformation. It is designed for those who sense that their life holds a deeper purpose and who feel called to walk a conscious path.
My belief is that each lifetime is part of a sacred curriculum. Every incarnation offers lessons that help us refine the heart, expand awareness, and embody unconditional love. Through challenges and moments of grace, we peel back the layers that hide our true essence. We learn to release illusion, awaken compassion, and align with our divine nature.
The Soul School concept is being crafted to guide individuals through this process. It will offer support in emotional healing, spiritual alignment, and the steady awakening of inner wisdom. The intention is to create a community of students and teachers who walk together and contribute to the evolution of collective consciousness.
This project is a long-term commitment for me. I trust its timing and its purpose. I know it will take the shape it is meant to take as it continues to unfold. The Soul School is more than an idea. It is a living vision that honors the sacred journey of the soul and the divine light that lives within us all.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
There is a quiet truth that changes everything once we finally feel it in our bones: we are never separate from one another. The world often teaches us to see through the lens of division. We learn to protect ourselves, to compare, and to move through life as if we are isolated beings. This creates a heaviness in the heart and a sense of walking alone.
Through my own inner work, I have come to see that separation is only a veil. Beneath it lives a shared essence that connects every soul. When we remember this, something softens within us. We meet others with patience and understanding. We listen more deeply. We recognize the familiar light in someone’s eyes, even when their story looks different from our own.
This awareness brings a different way of living. It invites us into compassion, unity, and a sense of belonging that does not depend on circumstances. It reveals that healing is not a private journey. Every step we take toward wholeness supports the collective, and every moment of presence strengthens the bonds between us.
This truth continues to guide the work I do and the way I move through the world. Once we see through the illusion of separation, everything becomes more meaningful, more connected, and filled with a deeper sense of purpose.
