How to Know What Is Your Next Step In Your Spiritual Path
In order to answer this question you need to understand the concept of SPIRITUAL MATURITY. As you progress in your spiritual journey, you develop what we call spiritual maturity. This maturity is defined by your experiences, exposure, and overall relationship to spirituality. The phase of spiritual maturity that many people are in is the infant phase. Think of trendy spirituality. This is where someone is trying out different spiritual practices to see which ones resonate with them. Then, something big happens. You begin to outgrow this way of approaching spirituality. You no longer are fulfilled by the next shiny course. You are seeing all the ways that spirituality is being used for bad. It no longer resonates with you. THIS IS AN INITIATION. A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. One of two things happens at this point. You either…Give up on spirituality / remain in spaces you’ve outgrownOR You decide that it’s time to deepen your relationship to Spirit beyond consumerism. Welcome to the adult phase of spiritual maturity.In this live I dive deep into understanding what is required at the adult phase of you spiritual maturity, what to expect, and how to navigate it. 🩸 Applications now open.

3 Questions That Will Keep You Out Of Harmful Spiritual Spaces
There are a lot of fraudulent “spiritual” practitioners out here who are teaching + sharing spirituality in harmful ways. These three questions will protect you from joining them. 1.) Where did you get your teachings from / where do they come from? If they do not mention a direct bloodline, tradition, or elder… RUN. Self help books, certifications, and weekend retreats do not make someone prepared to facilitate such sacred work. 2.) Who are your elders? If they cannot name elders, this also means they have no accountability / checks and balances. Elders are FOUNDATIONAL to work being done in a good way and in integrity. Without them, they are being ego led, not spirit led. 3.) This question is for you. Is this person speaking to my ego or my spirit? They are speaking to your ego if they are selling you a title, modality, or rite of passage. They are speaking to your spirit if they are equipping you with tools to deepen your own medicine, deepen your ancestral trust, and give you teachings to keep you in accountability, reverence, and integrity. 🩸 Want more conversations like this?

How to Escape Mainstream Spirituality
Mainstream spirituality is the colonizer’s version of “healing”. You have most likely experienced the performative, surface-level, and watered down spirituality that mainstream spirituality promotes. In order to escape mainstream spirituality we must step into traditional healing work. Traditional healing work is what mainstream spirituality steals ALL of its inspiration from.Traditional healing work isn’t another “quick fix” or “certification”. It is tethering your spirit back into your body and reclaiming the medicine that’s inside of you. It bridges you back to your ancestors and builds integrity + accountability through shadow work. 🩸 Are you tired of mainstream spirituality and are ready to step into real, deep traditional healing work? This is for you. Click the link in my bio for further info.

What Medicine Are You Here To Share & How to Protect It
You are a divine reflection of Great Spirit, do you know this? More importantly, do you claim this? Your brilliance is the unique gifts that the universe has stored in you to share with this world. It is the nectar of life force that makes you inspired, fulfilled, and of service. Shadow work leads us to reclaiming this brilliance because it shows us how to actually claim it without excuses.

The Sacrifice of Having Spiritual Integrity & Honoring The Sacredness of Medicine Work
It is easy to mistaken accountability as threatening and mean when you are used to getting away with slacking off. When it comes to traditional medicine work, there are grave consequences if you half ass. Mainstream spirituality offers half assed modalities which in turn create half ass results. The missing piece in many of these spaces is the severity that comes with accountability and integrity.

Shadow Work Equips You With The Tools To Hold Medicine
Learn to be present in shadow, not run from it. We are taught to avoid shadows when they arise. This happens through turning a blind eye, ignoring the elephant in the room, or downplaying the severity of the problem. We are masters at masking. The world is demanding us to stop wearing masks. It’s begging us to learn to stand in the presence of shadow and confront it, not dismiss it and neglect it. Shadow work is learning how to be an active medicine in the presence of shadow. Instead of ignoring it or becoming part of it, you bring a presence that transmutes the shadows into lessons and medicine. The shadows are not something to chase out with pitch forks but instead embrace and learn the lesson they are here to teach.

Are You Using “Capacity” To Validate Limitations And Ignore Growing Pains?
Capacity has become the new “boundaries” or “nervous system regulation”. It is used in the wrong context and as an excuse to neglect the work we truly need to do. What if I told you that your ceiling is really your floor? News flash, it is. The version of yourself you put on a pedestal that seems so far out of reach is only separated by your unwillingness to choose to do your shadow work. There will always be an excuse. The shadow says “now isn’t a good time”. It prioritizes convenience over growth. You’re negotiate with your shadow, wasting precious time that could be spent developing your medicine. It is a choice. It is a crucial decision that you must make whether to be in shadow or medicine. The medicine is waiting for you to finally get out of your way and step into the version of you that you glamorize. THIS is the shadow work. 🩸 Ready to step out of your shadow and into your medicine? This is for you. Cardinal Shadow Work is a 6 month container where you will confront every excuse, manipulation tactic, and behavior of your shadows. You will liberate yourself from their stagnancy and learn what it means to be in medicine. The medicine is here. Click the link in my b1o. Limited spots.

What Are Shadow Loops & How to Free Yourself From Them
In this live I go deep into understanding a fundamental principle in shadow work; shadow loops. Shadow loops are the ways your shadows disillusion and trick you into repeating the same patterns over and over. It is how they make you believe you’re creating change when really you are walking in circles. Shadow work is how we step out of the shadow realities we have created for ourselves. Your shadows influence and cloud your perception of the world. They keep you constrained, suppressed, and closed. Shadow work is liberation from the shadows. It is by diving into them that you actually learn how to heal them. The shadow isn’t to be feared but rather explored. 🩸Ready to break your shadow loops? This is for you.

What Are Your Shadow Rituals + Sharing Medicine Rituals
In this live I share some of stories and lessons gained from traveling to Brazil. From the importance of community to the power of celebrating our humanness, it truly transformed me in ways I cannot express. I want you all to write this quote down. “Start viewing your routines as rituals of devotion to your hopes and dreams”. So many of us are living in the rituals of shadows and mistaken them for our reality. Break the ritual.

What Does Good Relationship Look Like In Spirituality?
We have been approaching spirituality wrong. Spirituality is not about self-help, ego, or money. It is about building a reverent practice to your ancestors, spirits, and medicine. Mainstream spirituality does not speak about the important of being in right relation to the spirit world. Instead, it focuses on certifications, regalia, and status. Spirituality will demand humility. It requires sacrifice, shadow work, and to know our medicines. ⚡️So I ask you, what is your relationship to spirituality? 🩸 Want to hear more of these conversations?

3 Main Differences Between Mainstream Spirituality vs Traditional Way
Mainstream spirituality has a selfishness to it, viewing the spirit world as something to extract from and gain. It perpetuates the same colonial behaviors of extraction, disrespect, and consumption. The traditional way is the opposite. It is about building reciprocity and relationship with the spirit world. Wisdom and healing is gained through proper communion instead of forceful domination and demanding. The spirit world merges with the physical and creates a deeper understanding of what it means to be a soul in form. In this live, I cover what it means to walk in a traditional way, what’s required, and the urgency of reclaiming it. The way we are relating to the world right now is not sustainable. We must shift the way we are walking. It’s time to walk in a traditional way. 🩸Ready to walk in a traditional way and reclaim your medicine? This is for you. I’m holding a one day intensive September 28th on how to heal using a traditional teaching of the medicine wheel. You will learn how to reclaim ancestral medicine, heal colonial wounds, and begin to walk in a traditional way. Link in b1o ⚡️

Ancestral Survival Guide: The Map of Your Ancestors
We are given a map to navigate this world from a young age. Through family, school, and societal influences that map determines how we show up in this world.That map is rooted in colonization. That map does not ensure your survival nor your best interest. We must challenge our perceptions, actions, mindsets, and ways of life. The current map many of us are following is doing more harm than good.So, what map do we follow now? Your ancestors left behind ancient maps to navigate this world.

The Burden & Sacrifice of Doing Spiritual Work + Healing With Integrity
There is a lot of unspoken struggles that come with working with Spirit. Your ancestors, spirits, and guides will continue to demand sacrifice in exchange for their teachings. This isn’t out of punishment but rather a test of your dedication to preserving the sacredness of this work. To know spirit intimately is to know spirit painfully.It cannot be duplicated. Learning your unique medicine is how we ensure that Spirit is being respected and held in a good way. 🩸 Ready to stand in integrity and align your healing in a good way? This is for you.

3 Biggest Struggles My Clients Have When Beginning Shadow Work
After 7+ years of helping individuals name their shadows, there are 3 reoccurring struggles that everyone struggles with in the beginning. Here they are. 1.) Overwhelm. When doing shadow work correctly, you will experience overwhelm. This is actually a good indicator. It confirms that your shadow is receiving attention and being exposed deeper. It allows it to become triggered which allows us to address it. 2.) Perfectionism. Individuals begin to fixate on understanding their shadow perfectly. This is a coping mechanism to alleviate the overwhelm. Instead of truly addressing the shadow, they replace action for obsession on correctly labeling and diagnosing. 3.) Forget to learn their medicine. Shadow work with medicine work is self-deprecation. Your medicines are what equipped you with the proper tools to address your shadows. Your unique shadows will be healed by your unique medicines.

Mainstream Spirituality Has Ruined What It Means To Heal
Let’s take a moment to ask ourselves what it means to heal? Western rhetoric has infiltrated into the healing space. It has brought its ways of consumerism and perfectionism. It has created a beast of believing you must constantly be striving towards perfection. This is not healing; it’s consumerism. Healing is finding the balance between your shadows and medicines. It is learning how to walk in the gray space. We will always have parts of us to work on; we are human. Instead of obsessing on what we need to fix, let’s focus on balancing ourselves within medicine and shadow. 🩸 Want to hear more in-depth discussions on shadow work and healing work?

Traditional Shadow Work Is Colonial Resistance
In this conversation, we discussed the tactics of colonization and how to liberate ourselves from the colonial structures that keep us caged. Traditional shadow work, and a brief synopsis, is using the ancestral and indigenous framework of the medicine wheel to confront our shadows and learn our medicines. By inherently using the medicine wheel, we are innately confronting the colonial shadow. In this live, I dive deep into how colonization works, ripples through the medicine wheel, and how we bring forward medicine during these testing times. Shadow work is no longer a “nice to have” but an essential tool for navigating this life. 🩸 Ready to confront your shadows and dismantle the colonial construct? This is for you.

The 3 Attributes Needed To Do Shadow Work Properly

Sacred Titles Are Not For Sale
Sacred titles of medicine woman, shaman, and healer CANNOT be bought. These are titles that are only truly understood through initiation and walking the path of medicine. Sacred titles ≠ holding sacred knowledge. Just because you hold the title doesn’t mean you hold the teachings. Titles are given from your community. They are earned and never self-proclaimed. You cannot duplicate the essence of a medicine woman / healer. It is something that is stitched into your Spirit from birth. It is a way of life that is not chosen but assigned. Much more discussed in the video…

How Your Shadows Use Your Mind to Influence You
The battle with our shadows often begin in our Minds. The reason being is the mind is in a constant active state of consuming, thinking, filtering, and processing. There is a lot happening in our Mind which makes it easier for our shadows to slip by. It’s like a busy marketplace. It’s easier to steal with more distractions.Part of healing your shadows is understanding their language. It’s learning how they uniquely speak to you.

Challenges To Expect When Beginning Shadow Work
In this live I go deep into understanding what true shadow work will trigger within you. This work isn’t meant to be comfortable, it’s meant to challenge you to push through the growing pains so you can reach higher, stronger, and powerful heights. Holding medicine in a good way isn’t taught nowadays. Modalities are marketed without understanding the responsibility required to do them in a good way. Shadow work is what implements that’s integrity and responsibility within us.

The Only 3 Reasons You’re Stuck In Your Healing
Grab your notebook for this live because this one is FULL of nuggets on why we get stuck in healing and what to do about it. Here is a simple breakdown of the 3 reasons.1.) You are missing the teaching of the medicine wheel. The medicine wheel teaches about the 4 parts of self (Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit). Many of you focus on these in isolation when they need to be all considered at once. 2.) You do not know the teachings of the spirits that work with you. The reason you don’t know these are because you don’t know the actual spirits that work with you. Understanding your medicine is essential to what you need to heal. 3.) Neglected shadows. When we neglect our shadows, we are blinded by the light. We are duality. We must honor our light and dark. 🩸If you’re ready to truly confront your shadows and do the deep healing work, this is for you. Send me a DM or join the waitlist via the link in my b1o

You’re Doing This Spiritual Shit Backwards
Read this closely, literally word for word. You are trying to learn how to practice your medicine but you don’t even know your medicine.Why would you go to a car dealership and buy a car thinking that once you have a car you will suddenly know how to drive?This sounds ridiculous, right? This is the same shit a lot of yall are doing with spirituality. You are learning HOW to practice medicine (reiki, breathwork, certifications) but you are not learning the actual medicine. This creates copy-cat healers who mimic and duplicate what they are shown. Monkey see, monkey do. Stop being a monkey. Stop being a copy-cat healer. First learn WHAT is your medicine before learning HOW to practice your medicine.

Get your journal and pen, this live we go DEEP into understanding how your shadows lie to you. Our shadows often times target our mind before any other part of ourselves.

What’s Shifting In Spirituality as We Enter 2025?
In this live I break down the massive shifts we are seeing collectively and how they are rippling into spirituality. Urgency of truth; no more co-opted, fake, ego, driven practitioners and elders.

We’re tired of taking certifications that leave us feeling disappointed, more lost, and farther away from ourselves. Part of being an integrity is learning YOUR medicine, which requires you to know your shadows. Spiritual Cleansing; deprogramming from the spiritual teachings we were taught that are grounded in colonization and new ageism/appropriation. Releasing identities/titles/labels/practices.

Why Is The World So Scary Right Now?
We are living during times that none of us have seen before in this lifetime. It is easy to get swept up in the fear, panic, despair, and hopeless.This is why the teachings of the medicine wheel are essential during these times. All of ancestors used the medicine wheel to understand and navigate this life, both spiritually and physically.In this live I cover the big question of why is the world in the current state it is? Simple answer; we are in the West of the medicine wheel collectively. The West is the space of the heart, death, sacrifice, and releasing. Listen in as I break down how each of these are teaching us how to show up during these times. ⚡️

Universal Light + Love Isn’t Enough to Heal
I recently received a comment telling me that universal light (often used in reiki and other mainstream spirituality modalities) was more powerful than learning your own unique spirits and medicines that move through you.

The Power of Ancestral Work
Your ancestors are your first line of protection when it comes to spiritual work. You are the living prayer and proof of their endurance + perseverance. Ancestral work is honoring not only the good ancestors but elevating those who are in need of your medicine. Ancestral work and shadow work go hand - in - hand. When you show up for our ancestors, we are telling them that we are here to carry on their medicine and help them heal. We are the vessels that have been trusted with their wisdom.

The 4 Different Layers of Shadow
Grab your notebook for this one, I go DEEP into the actual shadow work process and understanding the 4 layers of shadow.The first layer begins in the Mind, it is all about understanding the language of your shadow. This is where we see a heavy presence of western therapy and journal prompts. Although these are doing something, they are extremely surface level. This layer is understanding what is the VOICE of your shadow and how it lives in your mind. The second layer is how the shadow lives in your body. How does your shadow show up in your day - to - day life? Shadows want to live in physical vessels and do so by our actions. This is often where people freeze in their shadow work because it requires real work. It takes discipline and action. It’s moving from what you know you need to do to actually doing it. The third layer is the pleasures in your shadows. All of our shadows keep us hooked by giving us some type of pleasure / joy. This is also where we begin to understand how our shadows are fed by those around us. Lastly, the fourth layer is all about seeing the medicine behind the shadow. Every shadow is hoarding away medicine. This layer is all about understanding what is being held captive and liberating that medicine.

The 3 Missing Pieces of Mainstream Spirituality
In this live I breakdown who so many individuals are beginning to step away from mainstream spirituality, new ageism, and love + light. Our spirits know that this healing work is deeper than certifications and selfish self-help. 1.) Mainstream spirituality has a value system + structure of the colonial ways. It is rooted in hierarchy, power, and individualism. This is the opposite of traditional healing which is rooted in integrity, reverence, and responsibility. 2.) Mainstream spirituality doesn’t teach you your medicine. Instead, it sells you different methodologies, certifications, and retreats which feed your shadow of consumption. Traditional healing teaches you how to learn your spirits and how to work with them. 3.) It is detached from reality. Ascending into the 5D, creating new earth, and manifesting your best life are all about escaping the present moment. Traditional healing grounds you into reality and teaches you how to co-create vs bypass.

Understanding Shadow Work in Urgent Times
In this live I breakdown the 3 foundational pillars to doing TRUE shadow work (not western therapy or new age, but the original way of our ancestors)1.) We are dualistic beings. We hold both medicine and shadow. We must first understand that this life and ourselves hold the nature of duality.2.) Shadows and living spirits. & as we all know, in order for something to live it needs to be fed. This is where we begin to address HOW YOU feed your shadows. 3.) Shadows evolve as we evolve. Our medicine will be the balance to help us move through our growth and collective energies.
