In this powerful conversation, I sit down with shamanic healer and Family Constellations facilitator Catherine to talk about what happens when you finally stop ignoring the nudge from your soul and decide to burn down a life that’s “fine” but not truly yours. Catherine shares her journey from Roman Catholic suburban soccer mom in West Michigan to being deeply respected in sacred communities in South America, including the moment she booked nonrefundable tickets to the Amazon for herself and her children in the middle of the night with no plan and no permission slip. We explore:
What shamanic journeying actually is (beyond the “love and light only” narrative) and why facing the shadow is non‑negotiable.
The Akashic Records as a “living map” of your soul’s experiences, and why an ethical reader will only answer the questions you consciously choose to ask.
How Family Constellations work to reveal hidden dynamics, unresolved grief, and excluded family members that keep patterns like addiction, abuse, and abandonment looping through generations.
Why it’s your responsibility (not just a cute option) to follow your inner nudge and stop tolerating what you already know is not for you.
What it looks like in real life to go from estranged, painful family dynamics to genuine compassion, peace, and even gratitude for people who once deeply hurt you.
If you’ve ever felt “crazy” for sensing more than what your logical mind can explain—or if you’re stuck in the same relationship and family patterns no matter how much therapy you’ve done—this episode will feel like a homecoming. ✨ Work with Catherine
