The Creator Cole Podcast

Sometimes you don’t need another healing, you need Shadow Work. Join me in this conversation to discuss how to identify your shadows and reclaim your medicine.

We’ve been lied to and told that more love and light is the cure to our pain. This is not true. We must learn how to navigate our darkness and our shadows. This is where the real healing comes forward. We touched on: 🌿 Appropriation and desecration of sacred medicines 🔥 Selfishness in spirituality ⚡️ Importance of learning your shadows and healing them. The medicine is here for us. It is up to us to listen to that call. Shadow work is what will bring us into the world we desire. Healing our darkness and learning from it like our ancestors did. ⚡️

In this episode we go into the real reason of your fear of shadow work. It is deeper than many of us think. It is also a powerful reason why we neglect doing this much needed work. It is how we reclaim our power. Our medicine.

In this live we go deep into the four seasons of life and how to navigate each one. There are shadows and medicine in each season. It is up to us to learn how to use the medicine wheel to learn how to flow between the seasons.

You are more than your shadows. There’s a myth that we are only our shadows. We are so much more. We hold our medicine, our healing, and our wisdom. Part of the shadow work process is not only identifying your shadow but also recognizing the medicine you hold.

Are you feeling stagnant in your spiritual path? Are you ready to take your work to the next level with integrity? This episode is for you. Join me as we discuss all things related to spiritual plateaus and how to move through them.

Strip your certifications and titles away, what is your medicine? All of us hold a unique medicine. It is through shadow work and working with the medicine wheel in a traditional way that we learn or medicine. Listen now to find out more.

Learn how to heal your shadows in the traditional way through the elements and directions. The original ancestors (elements) are for ALL of us to work with and learn from. In this episode, we discuss how to work with the medicine wheel and it’s teachings of the elements to help us heal.

In this live I share my life updates and how I’ve been navigating one of the most challenging times in my life. I share how I’ve been turning shadows into medicine, struggle into blessings, and tears into smiles. The shadows aren’t going away, but neither are we. We are the medicine we have been asking for. The teachings are here and alive within you. 🩸 If you’re ready to stand in your medicine and learn how to traverse your own shadows, this is for you. Click the link in my b1o to join the waitlist.

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.

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. Start a new one that is in devotion to your medicine. 🩸 Ready to begin shadow work and break the rituals of your shadows? This is for you. Click the link in my b1o for more info.

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?

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 ⚡️

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. They knew times like this were coming. They left behind maps for those who are ready to align with a new way of life.🩸 Ready to break free from the colonial map and reclaim your medicine map? This is for you. Click the link in b1o to join the waitlist.

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.

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.
