Yes you heard that right!! Not the normal convo around Ego I realise…. in this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the concept of the ego - not as something to be subdued or overcome, but as a vital part of your identity that deserves to be developed and cherished. We challenge the conventional spiritual narrative that often urges ego dissolution and instead propose a revolutionary approach: building and balancing the ego, particularly for women.
Why should women focus on bolstering their ego? Historically and culturally, women have been conditioned to be nurturing, self-effacing, and accommodating, often at the expense of their own identity and power. This podcast aims to shake up this narrative. We explore how, unlike the overinflated egos that men are often encouraged to develop, many women need to strengthen their sense of self to achieve true empowerment and spiritual fulfillment. One of my favourite episodes of the season so far! Please RATE & SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy ShamanTalk 🧡 -

We delve deep into the concept of the "Middle Cauldron" in Celtic Shamanism, exploring how lack of boundaries can disrupt this emotional and spiritual core. Learn the difference between boundaries and non-boundaries and why the latter can be the silent killer in relationships.
Discover practical tips on how to set and communicate boundaries with clarity and compassion. Whether you're dealing with a trusted friend or someone who continually crosses your boundaries, this episode equips you with the tools you need.

If you Love this podcast, please do me a favour and SUBSCRIBE wherever you listen. Thank you! Saining is a protective & cleansing charm that starts with a symbol of intention and works on the premise that the Celts were an animist culture who believed everything had a Spirit and soul.
Saining has a long history in Scottish folk magic, and there is evidence of Saining practises throughout the Celtic archaeological landscape.
Although it is not a direct equivalent of Native American smudging, it is a beautiful alternative you can weave into your Shamanic practice for cleansing and clearing yourself and your surroundings of unwanted influence. -
If you love this podcast, do me a favour and subscribe! According to the vision of a Celtic Poet and prophet from the 7th century, the root of a Celtic person's physical, spiritual & emotional health comes from their three Cauldron Power Centres.
Similar to the Eastern traditions of Chakras and Dantien, the relative positions of these cauldrons within each person determine their overall spiritual, emotional and physical health.
Within each of these cauldrons, you ferment, cook, boil, & brew like an ancient alchemist so you can bring to the light, nourish and sustain the life force gifted to you at birth.
The Celts believed a person must activate all three cauldrons to live a whole, connected, meaningful life. Tune in to this podcast to find out more and begin your Cauldrons path!

What is a mental load?
The invisible, non-tangible tasks involved in operating a family are called the mental load, also known as cognitive labour.
The mental load is the unseen – not necessarily the physical tasks but the remembering of all of the daily stuff that needs to be done – so shopping, dinner prep or when laundry needs doing – it also includes reaching out to other family members and remembering birthdays.
In this episode, we explore how you can climb down from having an excessive mental load and bring more balance into your daily life.

Closure can be described as the end of a relationship, job, stage of life, or way of thinking and is often associated with difficulty.
