111- Being Human in an Uncertain World: Facing Hard Things Without Losing Your Center
How do we face frightening news about someone we love without losing our footing? And how do we make peace with the vulnerability of being human when even our best efforts can't guarantee that life will go the way we hope? In this personal episode, I share reflections prompted by a dear friend's...
-
110- Healing With Imperfect Tools
Sometimes the thing that helps us heal, grow, or change isn't perfect. The teacher may be messy. The book may contain ideas we strongly disagree with. The therapist may be competent rather than extraordinary. The program may not be the ideal one. And yet, when we are genuinely committed to...
-
109- Are You Psychic? A Grounded Guide to Psychic Ability
Are you psychic? In this episode, Katie explores why that may be the wrong question. Rather than treating psychic ability as a rare gift reserved for a chosen few, she offers a grounded perspective: energetic sensitivity and psychic perception are part of the human toolkit, although they show up...
-
108- When Your Belongings Hold Energy: Decluttering for Sensitive People
Decluttering can look simple from the outside: sort the stuff, make decisions, let things go, and enjoy the clean space. But for energetically sensitive people, it is often much more layered than that. In this episode, I'm talking about the energetic side of decluttering, space clearing, and what...
-
107- When Your Strengths and Shadows Share the Same Root
What if the thing you criticize in yourself is connected to one of your deepest gifts? In this episode, I explore the way our strengths and shadows often share the same root. The qualities that make us powerful, sensitive, insightful, effective, creative, or deeply attuned can also come with…

106- You Are Descended from Survivors: Ancestral Resilience for Modern Life
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore a different kind of pep talk: one rooted not in false confidence or forcing yourself forward, but in remembering the strength, luck, resilience, and resourcefulness woven into your body through your ancestral line. Every one of us comes from an...
-
105- When Forgiveness Isn't the Answer
What if healing does not require you to forgive the people who hurt you? In this episode, I share why I do not believe forgiveness is always the goal, especially when it becomes a kind of spiritual bypass or pressure to feel something that is not actually true yet. Instead, I talk about the value...
-
104- Fear, Freedom, and the Edge of Personal Growth
Fear is often framed as something we should push through or conquer. But in practice, the relationship with fear is usually more nuanced. In this episode, I share reflections from a solo trip through southern Utah, including a memorable night of stargazing under the Milky Way at Cedar Breaks...
-
103- Psychic White Noise: Staying Grounded in the Modern World
AKA- Sacred Gardens and Echo Chambers: What We're Building With Our Attention We're living in a time our ancestors couldn't have imagined—urban density, the internet, constant information, and a level of psychic "noisiness" that can leave even grounded people feeling subtly stressed, reactive, or...
-
102- Parents, Rumination, and the Path Forward
After 25 years in practice, I've noticed something consistent: when I do soul retrieval work, the most common place to find entanglement is with parents. Sometimes it's literal soul part holding. Sometimes it's outdated maps, control, codependent resourcing, or an adult child who is still being...
-
101- Resilient Happiness: Shamanic Wisdom for a Hyperstimulating World
In this episode, I explore what it really means to build resilient happiness in a world that constantly overstimulates our nervous system and pulls on our attention. I talk about the quirky mix of human animal and eternal soul, and how our instincts, brain chemistry, and modern capitalism can…
more -
100- Past Lives vs. Ancestral Patterns: What Impacts You More?
In this episode, I explore a question I've been sitting with lately: are we more affected by past life imprints or by ancestral patterns? Drawing on 25 years of shamanic practice, I talk about how past lives, ancestral lineage, family of origin, nervous system trauma, and even biochemistry all...
-
099- 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...
-
098- 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...
-
097- 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...
-
096- 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…

095- 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,...
-
094- The Energy of Money: Tending Your Personal Economy
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore the concept of the personal economy—the energetic and practical ecosystem of your financial world—and how to work with it intentionally in times of collective uncertainty. Rather than getting swept up in fear or overwhelm about national or global...
-
093- What If You Didn't Need the Whole Practice?
Shift Your State in Seconds: Harnessing Your Inner Mastery! In this episode of Practical Shamanism, Katie Weatherup explores how we can harness our accumulated mastery with healing practices—like yoga, meditation, or ritual—to shift our energy and emotional state quickly and effectively. With...
-
092- Wisdom for Procrastination
In this episode, Katie Weatherup explores the deeper emotional and energetic roots of procrastination through a shamanic lens. Rather than offering surface-level hacks, she unpacks why we get stuck, what our resistance is trying to communicate, and how to create more harmony between our…
more -
091- 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...
-
090- Soul Retrieval: The Power of Reclaiming Your Essence
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I take a deep dive into soul retrieval—one of the most transformational and foundational practices in my shamanic work. While I've often alluded to it in previous episodes, I realized I hadn't yet devoted a full discussion to this life-changing process. I...
-
089- Chillax, It's Just the Mailman: How to Quiet Your Fight-or-Flight Response
In this episode, I explore how our fight-or-flight instincts—like a high-energy dog living in a small apartment—can create challenges in our modern lives. Using metaphors and insights, I share strategies for calming overactive instincts, completing stress cycles, and cultivating inner peace. Key...

088- What's in the Way of Living Your Soul Purpose? Part 2

087- What's in the Way of Living Your Soul Purpose? Part 1
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I dive into what might get in the way of fully living your soul purpose. Inspired by Julia Cameron's playful take on artistic blocks and insights from one of my own teachers, I explore some of the reasons we might feel disconnected from our path. This...
-
086- 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...
-
085- Psychic Protection
In this episode, I explore the concept of psychic protection, especially for those who are energetically sensitive. I share personal experiences and discuss practical strategies to protect one's energy field from unwanted influences. Learn more about how to create energetic boundaries, manage...
-
084- 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...
-
083- 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...
-
082- Heal Now, Resolve the Past Later
Sometimes people have the false belief that they need to resolve all the pain and trauma of the past before they can make functional choices in the present. In this podcast, I talk about some focus points to help yourself make a very quick shift or change when a pattern urgently needs to change.…
more -
081- Upleveling Healthy Lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle changes can become a complicated and loaded topic. The amount of information can be overwhelming and it's easy to feel like what we're doing is never enough. In this episode I explore some new perspectives that may help you set your compass for an aligned lifestyle without shame...
-
080- 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...
-
079- How To Raise Your Vibration
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,...
-
078- Trusting Future You
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…

-
075- Emotional Set Points
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…
more -
074- Ignite Your Intuition Using Your Third Eye
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...
-
073- Ramblings about Relating
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...
-
072- Weightloss without Struggle
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...
-
071- Ease and Sustainability for Lifestyle Changes
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...
-
070- Connect to Your Inner Wise One
We have an aspect of our soul that is the bridge between the human experience and the soul journey. It's connected both to the now and the eternal. We can learn to use our mind to direct our psychic abilities to take counsel with our inner wise one! For a variety of reasons, sometimes doing...
-
069- What You Really, Really Want
As a former engineer turned shamanic practitioner, I'm incredibly interested in efficiency and elegance in addressing the question of what will create the most holistically fulfilling life. In this podcast, I explore some ways to get to clarity on what you want, to screen out the ways our minds…
more -
068- Increase Your Life Wish
A powerful way to sustain health, vitality and personal happiness is by keeping the fire of your passion for living vibrant and bright. I often work with people who don't have a death wish, but neither do they have a particular life wish. The lack of a strong vision and intention in this area can...
-
067- Sometimes It's Still Hard- Even When You're Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually Healthy
In this episode I share about a couple of months that were hard for me. Sometimes it's one big thing and other times a number of small things that undermine our well-being and emotional centeredness. I hope this episode helps you to have compassion for yourself and others when things get tough....
-
066- Sacred Travel Tips
I adore traveling and connecting with land magic! I even wrote a short book with all my best knowledge: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Travel-Practical-Shamanism-Vacations-ebook/dp/B00C2LKZE6 In this episode, I share about some of my top travel tips for working with energy and connecting with the...
-
065- Heal Disappointment, Betrayal, and Relationship Trauma
Sometimes we get so wounded by other people's messiness and unskillful relating or outright bad behavior that we don't want to engage our hearts with other people going forward. We can unconsciously (or consciously) create heart armor to avoid future connection. We can even distort and disrupt…
more -
064- Navigating Accidental Misdirection of Magic
I had a journey some years ago wherein my guides talked to me about ways I was using my will and magic to stabilize things in my life that had run their course out of a fear of and resistance to change. They shared ways it was limiting the life I would live and asked me to make a choice about…
more -
063- Being Vilified and Vilifying Others
I received an email from a former client I haven't interacted with in years that went into detail about how terrible I was for holding a boundary about being paid in the standard way before working with her. It included expressions of pity that I was such a terrible, money motivated person that I...
-
062- Sabbatical for the Soul
I find myself in a season where my deepest longings are for time freedom and less external stimulation. I'm taking a break from many of the things I normally engaging in, like travel and dating. I'm also taking a break from my personal improvement goals and settling for sustaining what's already…
