Everything you think you know about shamanism is wrong! Just kidding, I couldn't resist the drama of this title!

This episode is my attempt to set the record straight on a few things. I’m diving deep into the myths, misinformation, and half-truths that cloud our understanding of shamanism—and the ways these distortions actually block people from finding real healing.

We’ll talk about what medicine really means (hint: it’s not just a pill or a plant), why certifications don’t make someone a shaman, the difference between walking the shamanic path and embodying the shaman archetype, and how predatory “training” programs have hijacked the heart of this work.

I’ll share what makes a true shaman recognizable (and it’s not fireworks, fancy titles, or showmanship), the danger of black magic shamans, and why the Western obsession with lineage and plant ceremonies misses the bigger picture.

This isn’t about tearing things down for the sake of it—it’s about reclaiming clarity, truth, and integrity in spiritual practice. Whether you’re curious about shamanism, feeling called to walk the path, or simply trying to navigate the noise, this episode will help you see through the illusions and get back to what’s real.
