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?” Season 1 Episode 12 

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? Season 1 Episode 11

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?"

In this episode, I’ll be sharing the 3rd part of our 4 part framework: Leadership Once you've worked through the layers of self-healing, and learned embodied ways of helping others, you get to put it to practice in the form of leadership. 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. Stay tuned for the end where I answer the question: "What is the best way to practice patience?"

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. If you are ready to take the next step and guide others through deep healing, please tune in. 

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.

Ever struggle with trying to find the balance between flow and structure, masculine and feminine, and rest and productivity? I am still working on it, but what I have learned is that you don't just need one or the other. We have to live somewhere in the middle to truly live a fulfilling life. If you too are still trying to find your balance, please tune in for stories, teachings, and tips.

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. Join me as I show you how to stop waiting for your dreams to happen and what it looks like to step into the unknown.

Are you ready to put together a spiritual training program for private clients or groups? Maybe you’ve already been working as a coach or healer, but you aren’t sure how to shift from single sessions to a more comprehensive way of helping someone all the way through the healing process. In this episode, I will share with you my 4 part framework that we use in Shaman School to ensure results for our students. You can apply this simple and powerful method to provide your clients with the same powerful transformation.

What’s the single most important thing you can do for your business? The answer is, a clear vision! In this episode, I break down the most important aspects of creating a fulfilling and successful business and the questions you need to ask yourself to get clear on your vision. The clearer you are on your vision, the easier it is for the right clients to find you and the faster your spiritual business will grow. I hope you'll join me!

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. I hope you'll join me.
