Creating Mutually Beneficial Relationships—with Lori Andrus - EP19

30 minutes

As women, we’re conditioned to suppress ourselves in order to keep the peace. For many of us, this means we either compromise our own values to avoid standing out OR we sever ties with people completely. But what if there’s a way to honor the community you’re a part of AND walk in your own truth? What if we CAN create mutually beneficial relationships where we show up as ourselves?

Lori Andrus is creator of The Crystal Shaman School, a platform that weaves the transformational practices of ceremony, shamanic journeying, divination and sacred creation to awaken individuals to their true inner brilliance. A practitioner of crystal shamanism and soulful traveler, Lori artfully blends ancient wisdom traditions with crystal insight, empowering heart-centered individuals to create vibrant, joy-filled and deeply rooted lives.
