Introducing "A Shamanic Experience": Sacred Travel, Land Energies, and How to Listen
I've launched a new side project I've been dreaming on for years: A Shamanic Experience. It's for those of us who feel the medicine of place — standing stones, hot springs, glaciers, deserts, and rivers — and want grounded guidance for connecting with the spirit of the land. In this episode, I briefly introduce the new show and then play the complete introductory podcast episode so you can sample it without leaving this feed. I share why sacred travel matters to me, how I attune to different layers of a landscape, and why solo travel helps me listen more deep...

A Shamanic Experience in the Yukon
In this episode, I share my early May travels through Whitehorse and the Yukon—a journey filled with epic landscapes, mercurial weather, nourishing earth energy, and spacious moments of connection. I talk about wild horses on the Alaska Highway, turquoise rivers, hot springs, slow travel, and the subtle power of land that welcomes you in. Along the way, I reflect on how shamanic practices like journeying to land guardians and traveling without a rigid agenda can deepen your relationship with both place and self.

Old Souls, New Era: Bringing Untrained Psychic Gifts into Alignment
In this episode, I explore what it means to live in a time when so many old souls and psychically sensitive people are incarnating at once. Many of us arrive with strong, natural gifts but little training, which can leave us overwhelmed, ungrounded, or even vulnerable. I talk about why aligning your psychic abilities matters, how to avoid leaving the "psychic door" open, and practical ways to bring discernment, boundaries, and volitional control to your sensitivity. Think of it as learning the care and feeding of your energetic body, so you can thrive in this noisy, modern...

How to Reclaim Your Energy from Negative Interactions
Have you ever found yourself replaying a frustrating conversation or worrying in advance about a routine appointment — even when everything eventually goes fine? In this episode, I explore how our brains are wired to latch onto the negative, dramatic, or adversarial moments in life — and how we can reclaim our energy from that pattern. Drawing on personal reflections, real-life conversations, and wisdom from my guides and clients, I look at: Why our minds tend to replay past slights and anticipate future conflict How we can use "essay assignments" for the brain to shift our attention to kind...

When Life Gets Messy: Shamanic Field Notes on Fear, Fatigue, and Finding Center Again
In this episode, I'm sharing some personal field notes from a season when life has been undeniably complex. From navigating my mom's cancer diagnosis and treatments to unexpected travel hiccups, tech crises, and the temptation to argue with customer service reps, I've been reminded how fear, fatigue, and old patterns can surface — even for those of us deeply rooted in spiritual practice. I talk candidly about leaning on shamanic tools, managing energy as an empath, honoring boundaries, and finding unexpected resilience. I also explore the subtle art of not trying to fix someone else's experience and the sed...

With guidance from spirit allies and insights from years of practice, she invites listeners to experiment with "mini versions" of their go-to techniques to move from stress to regulation in just a few breaths.

Crystals as Energetic Allies: Support, Protection, and Magic
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I share my deep affinity for rocks and crystals, exploring how they can serve as powerful energetic allies. While some practitioners connect deeply with plants or symbols, my personal journey has been profoundly shaped by crystals—especially Herkimer diamonds. I discuss how crystals can help sensitive individuals manage overwhelming energy, protect against external influences, and maintain energetic integrity. Whether you're navigating the psychic noise of the world, seeking grounding and balance, or simply drawn to the wonder of these natural treasures, crystals can be incredible tools for support.

The Stories We Tell: Reclaiming Your Future from Toxic Narratives
In this podcast, I challenge a popular meme that suggests we should be grateful for the present because in 20 years, we'll wish we could return to where we are now. I strongly disagree with this notion. Those who listen to this type of podcast are actively investing in a future where they have greater physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Worthiness and Deserving- Potential Energetic Traps
Some of the catch phrases like "I deserve" and "I have trouble knowing my worth" can take people further away from the experience they want to have rather than closer. They can turn us towards inner work that won't produce the results were hoping and, worst case, can bolster a story that we're entitled to things we're truly not. In this podcast, I explore some alternate perspectives that I believe will help have more success in having the things that are important to you.

Free Yourself from Past Life Vows
In past lives, we tended to place energetic bindings on the oaths and vows we swore. These could be vows of marriage, chastity, or poverty. In each case, there were energetic structures put in place to hold us to the vow. Often those past life promises are disruptive to our contemporary experiences. So, it's wise to clear them and free ourselves. In this podcast I teach more about how this works as well as ways you can be free of this energy- either with help or as a DIY project.

Navigating Feedback and Criticism
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 triggered, distorted reflections from unqualified sou...

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.

049- Honoring Endings
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...

Delicious Yin Is an Antidote to Perfectionism and Emotional Reactivity
Often, we don't experience the deliciousness of time to just be rather than do. For me, this was because I didn't go to stillness and release of "shoulds" until I was exhausted. And, in the stillness, I often was overwhelmed with a lot of emotions I'd been numbing and avoiding. It made me bounce back into the perfectionism and overachieving that were getting me external validation. Over the years, my relationship to the balance of yin and yang has become much heathier. I want to offer that within this stillness that isn't the result of exhaustion or filled with diff...

045- Thriving in Your Relationship to Yourself
Having a good relationship with yourself is complex because of the depth of shared experience. The fewer conflicting needs and less complexity in a relationship, the easier it is for an average emotionally intelligent person to be successful with another person, given a similar baseline level of harmony. I feel like certain words like "self-esteem" and "gratitude" can mislead us to an oversimplification of a complex relationship when it comes to our internal experience and make us feel like we're failing in some way.
