Episodes

  1. Ancestral Healing, Connection and Honoring

    Any time is a great time to honor the ancestors, but this energy is particularly potent during the Samhain portal when the veil is thinnest.

  3. Discernment and Protection at Spiritual Gatherings

    Do you attend ceremonies, festivals, spiritual gatherings or community events? If so, this episode is a must for you! Just because an event uses spiritual language or addresses spiritual topics doesn’t mean it is held as a solid container. Events like this are often porous portals, with many…

  8. Shamanism in the Modern, Western World

    Practicing Shamanism in the modern, Western world is fraught with challenges. Is it okay to practice Shamanism as a Western person? What is the most integral way of working with our Shamanic practices? What is Shamanism asking us to confront in ourselves? As modern, Western people working with...

  9. What is Shamanism?

    What is Shamanism? Where does Shamanism come from? What does the word “Shaman” mean? Those called to healing and spiritual development often brush up against Shamanism but don't know how to contextualize it within their journey. Michelle and Katherine get back to their Shamanic roots and explore...

  10. The Politics of Spirituality

Michelle and Katherine recorded this episode shortly after Trump’s...

  11. Spirituality in Therapy ft. Furkhan Dandia

    Michelle and Katherine are happy to welcome Furkhan Dandia for a discussion on the intersection of spirituality and therapy!Traditional therapy has long been dominated by the “supremacy of the mind,” cognitive processing and talking about our problems. But as more people turn towards…

  12. Should my healer share my values?

    We firmly believe that you have the right to ask your healer, therapist, medicine practitioner, coach or care provider about their values. Is it possible for a practitioner to be truly “neutral?” We say no. Regardless of their “professional neutrality,” any practitioner will inherently hold their...

  13. Systems of Collective Trauma

    In the wake of the election, many of us are reckoning with our collective trauma. The United States has a brutal trauma history etched into our collective unconscious. From centuries of genocide inflicted upon indigenous peoples of this land, to the immigration and assimilation of war-ravaged...

  14. Collective and Planetary Healing

    What does “healing the collective” mean? Why is talking about planetary healing so important? How is that related to the individual healing journey? What is the best way for us to work with healing collective and planetary traumas? Our personal healing process ripples out beyond us to impact the...

  15. How To Heal Myself

    How do I heal myself? I don’t even know where to start. The process of “healing” seems so big and intimidating. Acknowledging my healing journey makes me feel vulnerable and weak. If I’m healing myself, how can I possibly help other people? If you’re on a healing journey, you’ve probably had...

  16. Alchemy for Your Spiritual Awakening

    Are you going through a spiritual awakening or deepening of your awakening experience?

  19. Toxic Spiritual Ascension Community

    Elevate your consciousness. Ascend to the 5th dimension. Access the quantum field. Yes, and… There's a fine line between elevating consciousness and using spirituality to avoid discomfort. Ascending to the 5th dimension doesn't mean you get to bypass anything inconvenient in this dimension. It's...

  20. How to Get in Shamanic Shape

    Shamanic work can take a lot of energy and requires not only energetic stamina, but also physical resilience and endurance.

  23. Gaslighting, Narcissism, Manipulation and Abuse in the Spiritual and Coaching Community

Unfortunately, these people are very skilled at distorting and manipulating spiritual teachings, language and practices to take advantage of and harm...

  24. How To Trust Yourself, Shaman Sister Sessions #120

    Many of us struggle with self-trust. Maybe you have trouble making decisions, you are easily swayed by the opinions and expectations of others, or seem to put your own needs and desires last. If so, you’re not alone. We live in a world that systematically undermines our connection to inner wisdom...

  25. #119 Resistance to Spiritual Initiation

    Spiritual initiation cycles often bring up a lot of resistance. You’ve probably experienced this: initiations can be uncomfortable, confronting, challenging and triggering. But, as Michelle and Katherine discuss in this powerful episode, “resistance is fertile.” Resistance shows us where there is...

  26. #118 Judgment on the Spiritual Path

    We hear so much in the spiritual and “conscious” world about being non-judgmental, not judging ourselves or others. But what if judgment is actually a really helpful, valuable and positive tool? Judgment is incredibly important for setting boundaries, evaluating integrity, aligning with right...

  27. #117 Compassion Fatigue

    What happens when our emotional systems become overwhelmed by a constant barrage of stress, suffering, disaster and crisis? Unfortunately, “compassion fatigue” is all too common these days, especially among healers, caretakers and empaths. It might feel like you’re numb or simply can’t bring...

  28. #116: How to Make Shamanic and Alchemical Tools for Transformation

    Creating sacred healing tools, tinctures and elixirs, visionary art, jewelry, talismans and totems are all ways to anchor powerful energy into the Earthly plane through physical objects. These sacred totems, crafted with intention, prayer and guidance, can work with shamanic energies, alchemical...

  29. #115 Quantifying Transformation (in Ourselves and Our Clients)

    It’s one thing to advertise oneself as a “transformational guide,” but how do we actually measure and quantify that transformation in our clients? Transformation and results are not the same thing. To truly support a transformational experience for our clients requires subtlety, attention,...

  30. #114 Shapeshifting Your Practice

    As soul-aligned practitioners, sometimes our practice asks us to radically shapeshift the way in which we serve, altering our personal and professional identities. This process can be incredibly challenging and uncomfortable, inviting us into deeper layers of trust, surrender and possibility.…

    more
  31. #113 Soul Aligned Offerings for Practitioners

    As a practitioner, it’s easy to build programs and offerings in our business that we think “should” be there, either because we’re trying to fit our work into a traditional business paradigm, we’re coming from the place of just trying to make money, or we’re modeling our work after others...

  32. #112 My Healing Business

    If you’re self-employed as a healer, chances are that you’ve tried to fit your business into traditional entrepreneurial models (even ones aimed at coaching) and found that it doesn’t work for you and/or feels super icky. You are not alone. There are some really good reasons why your healing...

  33. #111 My Shaman/Coach/Healer gave me bad advice. Now what?

    Bad advice is everywhere! Michelle and Katherine have seen tons of bad advice: on social media, in articles, received from their mentors/healers. Their clients have also come to them and shared bad advice offered by other practitioners. What gives? In this episode, they share the hallmarks of...

  34. #110 Visionary Creation through Collaboration

    What is the nature of collaboration through a creative partnership? Often in the field of spiritual growth and practice, we feel called to collaborate with other practitioners. Sometimes these efforts go well, and others go really poorly. Michelle and Katherine have been in creative soul...

    Yes, you read that right. Despite the silly title, the Shaman Sisters drop some powerful knowledge on how to hack your process of transformation by creating positive feedback loops within and between energy systems in your life. Michelle and Katherine get scientific and silly in this powerful...

  36. #108 Activating your Awakening

    Most of us assume that awakening and activation are only expansive phenomena, and if we’re experiencing contraction that there must be something wrong. However, it is impossible to “selectively open/activate.” As we go through awakening experiences and activate different fields and energy…

    more
  37. #107 How to Not Be a Spiritual Asshole

    Do you think that being “spiritual” automatically makes you a better person? Think again. There are plenty of ways to twist and distort spiritual principles that end up shaming, blaming and causing harm. Are YOU being a spiritual asshole?? Tune in to this fun and insightful episode where Michelle...

  38. #106 Social Responsibility of Spiritual Practitioners

    What is your social responsibility as a spiritual practitioner?

  43. #101 Codes and Activations of COVID-19

  44. #100 Transformation and Awakening through COVID-19

    Coronavirus has catalyzed mass disruption on the global scale. We are collectively experiencing a Death cycle, not only of people losing their lives, but also of structures, systems and planetary identity that has not been serving us for a long time. What initiations are available to you through...

  45. #97 Rewilding

    Who were you before the world told you who to be? Before social conditioning, before trauma, before you ever tried to make yourself small to fit in? Your Wild Self holds the keys to your connection, freedom and belonging. Your Wild Self is waiting for you to set it free. Your Wild Self is…

    more
  46. #96 Embodiment

    If you’re not fully grounded and inhabiting your physical body, you’re more likely to feel disconnected, distracted, anxious and stuck. You’re also less likely to be fully effective and empowered in your energetic practice. Relax. You’re not alone. We live in a society that conditions us to be...

  47. #95 2020 Shamanic Year Planning for Healers, Empaths and Lightworkers

    Ah, the new Gregorian year/decade. That arbitrary time when people all over the world magically shift into a different reality, set goals and make plans to be bold, take action and make their dreams come true!!! Cringe. Anyone else super tired of goals, resolutions and action plans that don’t...

  48. #94 2020 Projections and Forecasting

    What predominant energies (personally and collectively) were at play in 2019? What energies are coming in 2020? What are some useful astrological and energetic cycles to keep in mind?

  49. #93 Entities, Attachments and Psychic Attacks

    Did you catch the last episode on why you don’t have an entity or attachment, and no one is attacking you? If not, start there.

  50. #92 Why you don’t have an entity and no one is attacking you

    Maybe you’ve heard about entities, energetic attachments and psychic attacks. Maybe someone has even told you that you have an entity, or you’ve wondered if you were a victim of psychic attack.
