Have you ever faced a moment so challenging that it forced you to confront your innermost fears and vulnerabilities? Chris Waters, a shamanism specialist, joins us to unravel her gripping tale of such transformative experiences. Her early adulthood crises and a life-altering breakdown in her 30s became the bedrock of her journey from turmoil to healer, teaching us the raw power of authenticity and the importance of serendipitous encounters. As Chris recounts her path from reflexology to founding Lifetimes, her organization dedicated to healing, we’re reminded of the unexpected turns life can present and the profound growth that can come from embracing them.
This episode is not just Chris’ story; it’s a beacon for those who seek to navigate the tumultuous seas of resilience and growth. We dissect the essence of teaching through personal adversity, the heart-centric wisdom imparted by the Q’ero shamans, and how radical kindness plays an integral role in the healing process. Chris opens up about the potency of vulnerability, the support of community in times of need, and the courage it takes to face our personal ‘dragons.’ Whether you’re searching for strength amidst life’s storms or curious about the insights of shamanic practices, this conversation promises a deep connection with the shared human experience and the discovery of a more holistic, heart-centered approach to living.
