Welcome to today's episode. I'm so excited to be here in Sedona, Arizona. I'm here for the next month, and I'm with Anahata Ananda, which is amazing because I'm excited. You're about to leave for Austin. I just got back from Austin.

You're leaving to go to Austin from Sedona, but I'm excited. We got connected through my friend C.T.

I came over here and did a session with you. The last night, my girlfriend, I did a breathwork session with you, which was amazing, and I want to talk about that.

But I also want to talk about, because you have a really unique perspective with thousands of people that you've worked with over the past 20 years now.

And I want to talk about the one thing that we dove into that I thought was really good in the conversation was the parent-child relationship, which I know from my audience and the thousands of people that I've coached from my audience.

That usually is the main thing that's either propelling somebody forward or holding them back.

And when we had our conversation, you talked really deeply about the parent relationship, because obviously you have your own parents, but then also you help people with their parent relationships, but you also have your own children.

So there's a lot that's in there.

The first thing I want to dive into is, who are you? Where'd you come from? How'd you get into this?

And give us a background of how you got to where you are before we dive in, and you can give your incredible lessons.

Yes, thank you. First of all, it's an honor. It's a privilege. There's this beautiful soul connection we have, and I appreciate that.

Thanks for coming back to Sedona. It's always my pleasure to support your and also Lauren's core healing, spiritual expansion and personal empowerment.

I run a Shamanjelic Healing Center here in Sedona, and this is my Dharma, my soul's mission and calling is to support people through reclaiming their life, turning it around, living a thriving, impactful life.

And I started this because I was going through my own dark night of the soul and didn't really have the tools to navigate it, and wish that I had better resources.

I felt very much alone in my own silo, ill-equipped to navigate being a mother of twins.

And although I checked off all the boxes, Rob, of, okay, this career and this big house and this marriage and two kids, it really wasn't soulful.

The way I was living life was really not in alignment with my soul's mission, and a lot of depression, anxiety, and I wasn't really equipped to have the communication tools, to be in marriage and navigating the challenges of parenting too at a time.

And I think that in that, my life melted down, and I was in the process of rebuilding it, and traditional therapies were falling short for me personally.

And so I kind of dove into shamanism, spirituality, meditation, yoga, healing foods, cleansing, fasting, sweat lodges.

I dove into all kinds of things, because I was just so hungry for real solutions, and it kept getting at the core stuff.

I was trying therapy, it was talking about the little tip of the iceberg, and I was so frustrated, we're not going deep enough.

The deeper issues are way, way, way under the surface, and I needed core healing, and going on the shamanic route was really powerful and impactful, and I fell in love with it.
