Next Level Coaching Call Offer
Jim explains the free coaching call logistics, limited spots, and asks listeners to commit to showing up for booked calls.
In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares powerful lessons from his shaman and mentor, Don Javier (and Don Juan), offering four timeless spiritual principles to help you create a truly extraordinary 2026. As Jim prepares to evolve the show into a new era of “applied spirituality,” he explores how merging ancient wisdom with modern psychology can transform how we live, work, and relate to others.
From authenticity and truth to fear, choice, and personal freedom, Jim dives deep into the energetic roots of human behavior. You’ll discover why being anyone other than your true self drains your power, how fear hides behind every lie, and how defending your beliefs or feeling “stuck” are just choices waiting to be reclaimed.
If you’re ready to release self-deception, step out of fear, and start living in full alignment with your soul, this episode gives you practical, shamanic guidance to make 2026 your most liberated year yet.

Transformational Takeaway
Every moment of your life is a choice—and the courage to choose truth over fear is the foundation of freedom. When you stop pretending, stop lying, stop defending, and start choosing consciously, you reclaim your energy and power. Authenticity isn’t a risk; it’s liberation. As you walk into 2026, ask yourself: Where am I still pretending? The moment you answer honestly, transformation begins.
