In this episode, our panel of experts in the field of psychedelics leads us through a candid conversation about:

🌿 The call to explore psychedelics,

✨ What it was like to move into the psychedelic field professionally, and

🌎 The most important aspect of working with psychedelics: community.

Our panel of experts include:

Bea Chan: After leaving her 7-year HR corporate career, Bea found herself rediscovering her ancestral roots in Asia, where she stumbled on digital marketing, entrepreneurship and plant medicine. Profound psychedelic trips from Thailand to Mexico led Bea to collide with her soul sister, Dana, and together they co-created Sisters In Psychedelics (SIP) in November 2021.


Dana Harvey: is a Psychedelics Educator, Guide and Community Builder. A former C-suite executive in a publicly traded psychedelic company, she says “the mushrooms told her” to resign and pursue work at a more personal and heartfelt level.

Does it sometimes feel like you can feel everything around you?

Do you feel guilty quickly if you give yourself attention or address your needs first?

You are an achiever for sure.

Wounded money beliefs… sound like:

I don’t like taking from people

I just want to help

I’m not doing it for the money

But this is important work, why should people not have access to it because they don’t have money

If you charge, you aren’t a real healer

Sound familiar? I used to be stuck in all these thought patterns until I healed my money wound.

In this episode, I will walk you through the paradigm-shifting journey I went on that changed my money beliefs.

[EP 17] Rebel Shaman: Diverting from the Pack

You wouldn’t think that no would be a powerful word to use in your business.

I mean there is definitely the power of saying no to being too busy, to taking clients you don’t want to work with, to giving more than you’ve been compensated for…

But what happens when you decide to say no to standard practices within your industry because they don't feel right to you?

In this episode, I talk about going against the norm within the spiritual community, staying true to your intuition, and finding out what it means to you to stand in your integrity. 

And remember to stay tuned until the end where I answer the question: How do I connect with the divine within the planet?

[EP 16] From Self Doubt to Self-Trust: Overcoming Doubt and Judgement as a Holistic Practitioner

[EP 16] From Self Doubt to Self-Trust: Overcoming Doubt and Judgement as a Holistic Practitioner

Want to ride a roller coaster? Become an entrepreneur. That’s what it can feel like anyway, especially in the beginning.

Want to be a spiritual entrepreneur? Amp that up 10x! 

Worrying about if this is going to work is hard enough when you are growing any business, but as a spiritual entrepreneur you are also navigating questions like:

Am I being authentic?

Does this create more good in the world or am I just lying to myself to feel better about what I do?

Who am I to think I should be doing this work? I’m just a regular person!

In this episode I share the 3 teachings that have helped me get through those moments of self doubt or fear of judgment. 

These teachings have allowed me to not only grow my business but participate in summits, get invited to events, and stay connected to the vision growing inside of me.

Tune in to learn more!

Be sure to stay until the end where I answer the question: "How do you process energy in a safe way?"

[EP 12] Essential Practices for a Successful Holistic Business

[EP 12] Essential Practices for a Successful Holistic Business

Ahh, results. That’s what we all really want, right?  

We can say “enjoy the journey,” and we can mean it, and still want results!  

The majority of my students are here to apply their learning to upgrade and grow their businesses.  

I help my Shaman School students either start one when there wasn’t one before or fine-tune a pre-existing spiritual business.  

I have even seen spiritual entrepreneurs leave my program so confident that they decided to double their prices. 

So how do they do it? What makes the difference between someone who “makes it” and someone who hasn’t yet?  

I want to share with you the core beliefs and behaviors of those who get results vs. those who don’t.  

Stay tuned for the end where I answer the question, “How can I connect more deeply to the earth?”

[EP 11] The Most Important Thing You Need to do to Succeed as a Spiritual Entrepreneur

[EP 11] The Most Important Thing You Need to do to Succeed as a Spiritual Entrepreneur

If I could name one thing you can do to get you closer to becoming a spiritual entrepreneur, it would be...

Get clear about what you want and move towards it instead of accommodating others. 

Getting stuck in what other people want us to be is what keeps us from stepping into the highest version of ourselves.

We think to have integrity, we aren’t supposed to want things. 

But integrity includes desire! Make friends with sacred desire.

The clearer you are about what you want, the more aligned you will be in your life. 

Make sure you stay to the end where we answer the question: What are ways to improve seeing skills while journeying or reading energy?

[EP 10] Spiritual Offer Deep Dive: How to grow your healing business

[EP 10] Spiritual Offer Deep Dive: How to grow your healing business

We focus externally on what we think makes the business happen, getting a site, a marketer, etc.

These are all important things, but it is what is inside you that will make your business thrive. 

The 4th part of our 4-part framework is: Developing Offers. 

Creating your unique offer is about merging your gifts with what is in line with your soul work and allows you to live a thriving and joyful life.

This is where your purpose and experience helping others comes together. 

Once you are clearer on: 

- What you were designed to do

- What you love to do

- Who you want to help, and

- How do you want to help them,

We can create a goal for how you want to show up in the world and what you want to change.

Make sure you stay until the end when we answer the question: "How do you reconnect when you're feeling lost?"

From here, you get to step into the next level of who you are becoming and stand out as the unique spiritual leader you are here to be. 

It is the culmination point where the many pieces of our learning, growing, and understanding of our path and purpose all come together.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the second part of Shaman School’s 4 part framework of development: Helping Others.

Once you’ve learned how to navigate your spiritual journey and align with what you want, your gifts and awareness will begin to grow even stronger. 

When you have done your own work and put your pieces together, you will come out of it with valuable tools that will help others do the same. 

When you heal yourself and learn these valuable lessons, you can help empower others as they move through their own blocks.

I will unpack this next step in our curriculum, as well as identify the 5 ways you can become a Next Level Healer.

[EP 7] Self Care Deep Dive: The Power of Self Healing and Acceptance

[EP 7] Self Care Deep Dive: The Power of Self Healing and Acceptance

What does self-care mean to you?

This area of spiritual development emphasizes personal healing and clarity on your higher purpose.

This is the first step before anything else can happen.

If we aren’t deeply connecting and accepting of the self, we won’t have clarity on what we want, or be able to help others.

I will walk you through the process of:

- Noticing personal patterns and what they are tied to

- Healing trauma

- How you can improve your overall well-being when you truly dedicate yourself to self care

Learn to immerse yourself in your own deep healing so you can show up for others as your most empowered and authentic self.

[EP 5] What’s Really Holding You Back from Your Potential

Have you been dreaming of deepening your spiritual journey and enhancing your healing gifts?

Maybe these scenarios might sound familiar:

-You keep prioritizing things you think will bring you success but aren’t what you really want

-You think the vision you have of what you truly want is far away or will take a long time.

-You think what is holding you back is time, money or other commitments

But those things aren't truly keeping you from reaching your potential.

The true block is the belief that the next steps will feel comfortable.

[EP 2] The Best Shamanic Training: The Old Way Isn't Working

[EP 2] The Best Shamanic Training: The Old Way Isn't Working

Have you heard that shamanic gifts are given and can’t be taught?

How about, "You can learn all this stuff on your own and through Spirit"?

Maybe you've heard people say you just need to do affirmations and mindset work to have a successful business.

These are remnants of the old way.

But the old way doesn’t work.

In this episode, I discuss some of the old ways of doing things that are holding the spiritual industry back, how to find balance and integration as we step into this time of awakening, and how to find the right training for your path.
