#25 - Hold steady, witch: how to find your role in a world on fire
from Shapeshifter · host Caro Gomez
In this raw, and nuanced, reckining filled episode, Shapeshifter returns from a short break and I speak about the noisy world we live in — and what it really means to find your role within it. From political flashpoints across the globe to the addictive hit of online outrage (takes one to know one), I share how easily we can get swept up in cycles that make us feel alive… while quietly distracting us from the deeper, harder work in our own homes and spirits.This is not a call to disengage. It’s a call to discernment. To choosing where our fire truly belongs. And it’s a reminder that when the world grows louder, our roots can grow deeper. Anchored in the soil of legacy, spirit, and your calling.In this episode we explore: • The addictive dopamine of outrage and why it feels like action • How world events outside the West (Nepal, Panama, Mozambique, Colombia) can shift our perspective • Why online noise can mask unfinished inner work • The grounding practice of rooting deeper when the world rattles • Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Ecosystem Map and the roles of healer, disruptor, storyteller, weaver, and more • Letting your purpose unfold in its own time (my journey with Ancestral Awakening) • The gift of not forcing your calling to “pay the bills” — and what happens when you give it time • A preview of Blood and Bones, my Día de los Muertos gathering with Eda, an Amazonian medicine woman Resources & Mentions: • Conversation with Eda, Medicine Woman Episode 17: This is not community help • Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Ecosystem Map, find out more here • Ancestral Awakening waitlist for 2026, join hereBLOOD & BONES day of the dead gathering with Eda, icaros, cacao and connection – join the waitlist hereIt’s here!!!
