I’m often asked how I came to make such a career pivot.  Often due to time constraints of the conversation, I share the short version.  But here’s the longer version.  I share about becoming an entrepreneur, writing my first book, and falling in love with soul retrieval work.  I hope you enjoy it!

Some of our best mindfulness teachers live mindfulness throughout their waking hours.  It gives them a massive level of mastery and much wisdom to share.  However, I found that when I studied what they offered, my head got loud about how I wasn’t being mindful enough of the day.  In this podcast, I explore the possibility that you could find a level that was enough mindfulness if you have a fundamental level of emotional and mental health combined with a system for getting present with yourself at regular intervals.  I also talk about some of the warning signs that we have dipped below the level of “enough” mindfulness when our minds go down pathways that become problematic and create a stress feedback loop.

In this podcast I share some of the stories about women I’ve witnessed and supported in calling in their baby in a way that aligns for them, both on a human level as well as a soul level.  I also talk about working on the soul level with women who’ve chosen not to have a baby at a given moment.  Spoiler: free choice is sacred and choosing not to complete a pregnancy doesn’t cause harm to the soul that was considering coming in.  And, for those who want to have babies, I share how shamanic work can help.  Clearing past life trauma proactively will make for an easier pregnancy, for example.

Initiation of connection is something that is both a tendency and a skill.  Sadly, people sometimes keep score of initiation directed towards them.  They make the receiving of phone calls, text messages, or invitations mean something about whether they are loved, valued, and respected.  I would offer that it’s useful to recognize whether you are someone who is more likely to initiate or respond to someone else’s invitation to engage.  Furthermore, once you see where you stand, it can be valuable to override your default to create a wider range of experiences.  If you initiate and plan a lot, it could be fun to see what it’s like to just enjoy someone else’s vision.  Or, if you don’t initiate, you might find doing so allows you to enjoy relating with someone who is also not apt to invite but who responds happily when invited.  Likewise, when it comes to getting messages from spirit, when you initiate by engaging, the richness of what you receive increases exponentially.

My guides gave me a very cool and powerful sequence of energetic interventions to support the participants in my eight-month chakra program (https://handsoverheart.com/shamanic-training/chakra-journey/).  Step one was to clear learned helplessness, followed by a power retrieval, and lastly bringing this energy to the expression of their throat chakra so they could feel able to speak up and with their personal power behind their words. 

In this podcast I talk about how you can do this for yourself or get my help with it.  Join my mailing list to find out when I offer it as a stand alone $25 healing or book a session with me to receive this work.

Despite many traditional cultures not having the concept of past lives, modern people interested in soul healing have found this to be a potent sort of work for health and freedom.  In this podcast, I share an overview of how past lives impact us and some tips for working with them on their own.

I also explore this concept in my book, “Practical Shamanism: A Guide for Walking in Both Worlds”.  https://handsoverheart.com/store/books/

Let’s apply traditional means- shamanism- to a modern problem- that of credit card debt!  Or to whatever kind of debt is causing you grief.

If you’re like me, owing money on credit cards and seeing that amount remain stubbornly present or continue to rise evokes a lot of stress, frustration, and helplessness.  Or it may be student loans or a personal loan you just can’t seem to clear.  It certainly was a major pain point for me for a number of years.  Then, in 2018, it occurred to me that I wasn’t leveraging my tools.  I was treating credit card debt as a financial problem alone instead of something that had an energetic structure as well.

By dismantling the organized energy (and cleaning up energy created and sustained with persistent uncomfortable emotions related to the debt), it makes it harder for the debt to persist in the physical realm.  It’s not a substitute for right action. But just as treating the energetic aspect of illness often causes the body to respond better to physical treatment, and this seems to work with debt- be it student loans or credit cards or something else.

It certainly has had great results in my own life.  Prior to engaging shamanic work with this problem, I believe I was working uphill in my actions in the physical world, by trying to shift something that has a chronic and consistent structure on the energetic level.  Now my credit cards have zero balances more often than not and I don’t have any other financial debt.

In this podcast I open up about a date that reminded me how much harm opinion culture can do.  In this somewhat rambling and candid podcast, I talk about race and gender issues and some upgraded ways to navigate the world if you’re not called to geek out about these issues, which is totally okay.

In twenty-one years of professional practice, I’ve yet to work with a client who didn’t have energy to recover from the past resulting from endings that failed to create a full, clean closure.  Part of this is lack of training of drawing our energy and soul parts out of a relationship, situation, or endeavor when something is complete.  But, much of it is a culture that puts way more focus on beginnings that conscious endings.  In this podcast, I share from my own experience and from my work with others about the merits of being present to honor time and experiences shared even as you step away deliberately.

As someone who was painfully shy and socially awkward who has become a person who mostly feels ease and confidence in interacting with strangers and friends alike, I’d like to share about that journey.  I hope that if you’re feeling the pain and isolation of social anxiety or shyness, that this will give you hope that this doesn’t have to be something that you always endure.  I break down some of the key game changers that were part of my journey in the hopes that it will give you some guideposts in navigating this issue.  Or perhaps this will support you in holding kind space for someone you care about who is less than socially graceful.
