080- Navigating Feedback and Criticism
Practical Shamanism
If you’re hurt and angered by unsolicited criticism, you come by it honestly through human biology. It activates our instincts. In the modern world, we navigate so many intrusive opinions about how we live our lives coming from people who aren’t stakeholders in how we do life. Having a well-thought-out personal policy about who is and isn’t invited to give advice, feedback, reflection, or criticism is useful in being able to navigate these situations effectively. Then we can fast track soothing our instincts and coming back to center, rather than ruminating on...

079- How To Raise Your Vibration
Practical Shamanism
When we raise our vibration (or make our energy brighter), we move through the world more easily. It improves our direct, in the moment experience as well as helping to manifest things that support us and deflect things that do not. There are many things we can do to raise our vibration. Ideally, you want to create a personal list of things that have a high return on investment of results for energy expended. These things ideally will also be highly accessible on an average Tuesday and be things that you enjoy doing. I give a number of possible activities and...

078- Trusting Future You
Practical Shamanism
When we’re stressed, our minds often ruminate on the past and worry about the future. When it comes to the future, we tend to imagine that we’ll have the same or less (money, support, health, etc.) to deal with hard things. Meditation and moving our bodies are great medicine for this. But, for me, I also cultivate the ability to facilitate my mind into shifting away from overthinking the future. Creating authentic faith in future me to deal with situations as they arise is something that I’ve found helpful. I share more about that in this episode. Want...

077- Creativity and Musings on the Future of the Podcast
Practical Shamanism
In this episode I talk about creativity and money and where those intersect and where they don’t. I also share that I’m musing on the future of the podcast. If this podcast has had value for you, I hope you’ll drop me a line at and let me know. Or tag me on Facebook or Instagram with a comment. I’m celebrating the milestone of over 40,000 unique downloads, which is wonderful! But I’m not sure if I’m seeing new growth. I’d be grateful if you’d leave a 5-star review and/or share this as you feel called. Also, I’d be grateful if you’d take...

075- Emotional Set Points
Practical Shamanism
People often end up limiting their emotional experience to a handful of flavors. These could be unpleasant ones that they default into and/or favorite ones that they chase. This approach disconnects us from a lot of the opportunity of the human experience and tends to promote some health challenges along the way. In this podcast I share a bit about a client of mine who had a number of lifetimes experiencing a particular flavor of difficult emotions. The result was that all of the healing she sought out and her own excellent mindfulness practices tended not to move the dial...

074- Ignite Your Intuition Using Your Third Eye
Practical Shamanism
Most of us receive little or no training in how to use our psychic and intuitive abilities to effectively support our lives. The default can be hypervigilance even when we’re enjoying excellent safety. In this podcast, I talk about how to redirect your third eye to maintain appropriate situation awareness, while mostly scanning for possibilities and ways forward. This simple redirection will refocus our psychic abilities and help us to create the life we want. Want to support my work and be supported by my team of guides?

073- Ramblings about Relating
Practical Shamanism
Our best qualities can also, if left unsupervised and allowed to run amok, be the qualities that most damage our relationships. In this podcast I pull from some recent moments in my own life exploring Destined for Doom ways of relating that we may feel are actually likely to create success, no matter how much evidence we have experienced to the contrary. I explore unsolicited advice, contribution, and arguing with the other person’s truth if you’re not getting what you want in relationship. I hope this will help you to see relationship dynamics more clearly and have some...

072- Weightloss without Struggle
Practical Shamanism
I’d like to offer some insight on navigating weight loss with self-compassion. The less struggle we can bring to lifestyle changes, the more sustainable they become. As it happens, I wrote up some really cool show notes when I first recorded this, but I’m in the Yellowstone area when this is due for release and my cloud drive didn’t agree with me about making them available as I roam. So, I’ll let the title and episode mostly speak for themselves. You can get a 35% discount on my full shamanic weight loss program. Just email me at and I’ll set that up...

071- Ease and Sustainability for Lifestyle Changes
Practical Shamanism
Lifestyle changes can be incredibly complicated to implement and sustain. Giving yourself grace with this complexity and implementing a plan to address this aspect will improve your results. I talk about lining up the energy around the change we want. And also, about overcoming the aversion chemistry that seeks to get us to avoid implement things that we know are good for us but our inner cave person thinks threaten our survival. I hope this helps you find a graceful path forward to a lifestyle that yields enough health and wellbeing and is something that’s...
info_outlineAs magazines have become rarer, the traditional approach to vision boards becomes harder to implement. Check out my online creation process using free tools to create a physical image of your vision board for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. Or for free if you want to keep it online.
This helps direct your awareness away from scanning for improbable threats and towards life affirming opportunities. It also bolsters your sense of living in a benevolent universe. In addition, I talk about manifestation and ways to deeply explore what you’d like to dream into being in your life.
