Ancient Wisdom Today
Stories have the power to change the world. Human beings have been sharing stories for hundreds of thousands of years, and with those stories came the emotional, spiritual, and physical knowledge of the ancients. Shaman Durek is a 6th generation shaman, an evolutionary innovator, and a women’s empowerment leader. He’s here to bring forth the ancient wisdom of our elders to help heal and bring happiness into our modern society. We’re sharing ancient knowledge in modern times, in order to put the power back in people’s hands. Welcome to the tribe.

67. Become the Hero of Your Own Story with Michael Anthony
As we are moving through higher planes of consciousness, one of the most important things is how we deal with the trauma and abuse we’ve experienced in the past and how that impacts our present and our future. Nurturing, bringing ourselves out of trauma, and visualizing a new way to be.Michael Anthony, also known as Michael Unbroken, is the founder of Think Unbroken, a lifestyle mentorship coaching program built around helping people who have suffered trauma take their lives back. He’s helped empower over one hundred thousand survivors.After surviving his own traumatic upbringing only to end up homeless out of high school, he asked himself: What is the solution to poverty or homelessness? His first thought was money, but even after turning his life around and landing a six-figure job at 21, his life was still a disaster. After hitting rock bottom, he realized that he had to stop playing the victim in his life and turn things around. We discuss how you can stop playing the victim in your own life, take the fear out of failure and iterate your way to success, and ultimately become the hero of your own life.Resources:

64. Witnessing All Parts of Ourselves
With so much going on in the world, it’s important to be mindful of how we practice self-care. We have to ensure that how we treat ourselves is in the highest alignment with the goal of having as much kindness, patience, and compassion as we can. But as we start to make changes, we’re not going to see those results right away, and that can lead to shame or being hard on ourselves. We don’t need to beat ourselves up—we just need to show ourselves a bit more love.Advertisers + Sponsors:
