  Could Parasites Be Affecting Your Health? | The Worm Queen Kim Rogers

  Oct 2, 20261h 13m

  Could parasites be affecting your health without you realizing it? In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Kim Rogers, better known online as The Worm Queen, founder and CEO of Rogers Hood Apothecary. Kim's story is unusual because she didn't come into the wellness world without a medical background. She says she spent more than 20 years working in Western medicine, earned two healthcare degrees, ran 25 healthcare colleges across the United States, developed medical curriculum and worked extensively in neurology and endocrinology. At the same time, her own health was deteriorating. After years of surgeries, medications and unanswered questions, Kim began looking outside the conventional medical system for answers. She eventually explored herbal medicine, mushrooms, environmental exposures and parasite cleansing. Kim says her first parasite cleanse became a turning point in her life. She documented the experience online, posted a 60-second TikTok about what happened, and the video exploded. Kim says it reached one million views within two hours and eventually more than 10 million views. The response from people sharing their own experiences ultimately earned her the nickname The Worm Queen. In this conversation, we explore: • Kim's 20+ years working in Western medicine • Her struggle with chronic health problems and endometriosis • Why she began questioning conventional approaches to her health • Her experience with parasite cleansing • How she became known as The Worm Queen • Parasites, mold and Lyme disease • Mushrooms and Kim's personal healing journey • Amanita muscaria, lion's mane, turkey tail and psilocybin • Why Kim believes parasite exposure deserves more attention • Water quality and environmental exposures • Pets and potential parasite exposure • Food, produce and water safety • Herbal approaches to cleansing • Biofilms and binders • What Kim says she learned from doing her first cleanse incorrectly • Her Parify system • Taking greater ownership of your health • How one viral video became Rogers Hood Apothecary ️ The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented by Aldren Sanctuary Wisdom Returned.

  They Grew Up Seeing Ghosts and Thought It Was Normal | Natalie & Stephanie

  Sep 25, 20261h 23m

  What if you grew up seeing ghosts and simply assumed everyone else could see them too? That's essentially what happened to sisters Natalie and Stephanie. In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, we explore their unusual journey from childhood paranormal experiences to becoming intuitive mediums, spiritual coaches, energy workers, astrologers and haunting investigators. Stephanie recalls seeing a ghost at around five years old while staying at a babysitter's house. As the sisters grew older, they eventually realized something surprising: not everyone was experiencing the things they considered normal. Rather than shutting those experiences down completely, they eventually began exploring Wicca, spirituality, energy work, astrology, mediumship and other traditions. Today, their work includes intuitive development, spiritual coaching, Reiki, astrology, paranormal investigation, helping spirits cross over and past-life regression. In this conversation, we explore: • Growing up seeing ghosts and experiencing psychic phenomena • Why children may be more receptive to spiritual experiences • Whether intuition is a gift or an ability everyone possesses • Wicca and their early spiritual exploration • Becoming spiritual eclectics rather than following one system • Mediumship and communicating with spirits • What actually happens during a haunting investigation • Why they don't consider themselves traditional ghost hunters • The Estes Method and paranormal communication • Spiritual protection and energetic boundaries • Why energy workers need to understand protection • Shadow work and unresolved wounds • Helping spirits cross over • Working with more difficult energies • Clearing homes, businesses and real estate • The energetic relationship between people, homes and land • Astrology as a blueprint rather than fate • Mercury retrograde and common astrology misconceptions Past-life regression and Life Between Lives work • Soul fragments and healing experiences connected to past lives • Developing your intuition rather than blindly following someone else's method One of the ideas we keep returning to is that intuitive abilities may not belong to a special group of people. Natalie and Stephanie describe intuition, mediumship and the different “clairs” as abilities that can potentially be developed rather than gifts reserved for a chosen few. We also go deep into paranormal investigation. Unlike investigators whose primary goal is capturing evidence, Natalie and Stephanie say their purpose is usually helping people who are frightened or confused by what's happening in their homes. When appropriate, that can include communicating with spirits, clearing the space and helping spirits move on. We also discuss something I believe is incredibly important for anyone doing spiritual or energetic work: Boundaries. Whether you're practicing Reiki, mediumship, paranormal investigation or another form of energy work, opening yourself energetically without understanding boundaries can create problems. This conversation gets into those subjects and much more. The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented by Aldren Sanctuary Wisdom Returned.

  When Healing Becomes Another Form of Avoidance | Tova Citrin

  Sep 21, 20261 hour

  What happens when healing itself becomes something we use to avoid what we're actually feeling? In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with author, tech executive, energy healer and creator Tova Citrin for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, nervous-system healing, spirituality, creativity and learning to live as your authentic self. Tova spent years exploring different forms of spiritual and energetic healing while simultaneously maintaining a very different professional identity in the technology and financial industries. For much of her career, she kept those two sides of herself separate. Eventually, she realized she no longer wanted to hide parts of who she was. Her own healing journey began much earlier. After experiencing a difficult childhood and later becoming seriously ill with meningitis in her late twenties, Tova found herself questioning who she was without her career, health and the identity she had built around herself. That experience eventually led her deeper into spirituality, energy work and ultimately to Israel, where what was intended to be a three-month stay became more than two decades. In this conversation, we explore: • Why healing can sometimes become another thing we chase • Trauma and nervous-system dysregulation • Living with hypervigilance • Why energetic healing alone isn't always enough • The relationship between the mind, body, emotions and spirit • Giving yourself permission to actually feel grief • Turning painful experiences into music, writing and art • Creativity as part of the healing process • Learning to stop saying “I'm fine” • How childhood experiences can shape intuition and awareness • Integrating a spiritual identity with a conventional career • Social media, fear and its effect on our nervous systems • Learning to be compassionate with ourselves • Why it's never too late to become who you really are • Jewish spirituality, Kabbalah and prophecy • Tova's spiritual thriller, Ten Seconds to Midnight • Her music project, Aviya Sage • Her Broadway-style musical, Company Man Tova also speaks candidly about living in Israel during years of conflict and how repeated alerts, rockets and trips to the safe room affected her nervous system even when her conscious mind told her she was fine. She describes still waking every few hours because her body learned to anticipate the next alarm. That leads us into a conversation about something we both understand personally: sometimes surviving the experience isn't the end of the trauma. The body can continue responding long after our conscious mind believes the danger has passed. Tova eventually realized that after years of exploring energy healing, one of the missing pieces for her was working directly with her nervous system. She says that as she began addressing that layer, other pieces of her life started falling into place and her creativity began flowing again. We also explore Tova's novel, Ten Seconds to Midnight, a spiritual thriller she describes as something like The Da Vinci Code meeting Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah. The story explores prophecy, redemption, darkness, destiny and what happens when we're finally forced to confront what we've spent our lives avoiding. Above everything else, Tova leaves listeners with a simple message: Be compassionate with yourself. Don't wait to live your life. Create what you feel called to create, and stop apologizing for who you are. The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented by Aldren Sanctuary Wisdom Returned.

  Why Your Manifestation Isn't Working | Robert Mead

  Sep 21, 20261h 17m

  Why do some people practice manifestation for years without seeing the results they want? n this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with manifestation coach Robert Mead to explore Neville Goddard, the Law of Assumption, imagination, self concept and what Robert believes people misunderstand about consciously creating change in their lives. Robert has spent more than 45 years studying metaphysics and personal development. His journey eventually led him to Bob Proctor, including a 13 month coaching program and training as a coach, before discovering the work of Neville Goddard and making those teachings the foundation of his practice. But this conversation isn't simply about thinking positively and waiting for something to happen. We explore: • The Law of Assumption and Neville Goddard • Why imagination is central to Robert's manifestation practice • The difference between wishing for something and assuming it is already yours • Why action still matters when manifesting • How to identify what you actually desire • Why people become overly focused on HOW something will happen • Self concept and subconscious beliefs • What to do when doubt starts creeping in • Using visualization and all five senses • Robert's process for scripting a desired life • Why specific imaginal scenes can be so powerful • Using mirror work to change your self concept • Manifesting relationships and specific partners • Patience and persistence • Why manifestation should become a daily practice Robert also shares several experiences from his own life. He describes deciding in advance that he would make a major timeshare sale on a specific date. For a month, he wrote about it, recorded it, listened to it and repeatedly imagined what would happen afterward. He says the sale eventually happened on the date he had written down. He also shares how he spent months imagining himself living a tropical beach life before circumstances eventually took him through Mexico, Bali and ultimately the Philippines. One of the most important themes in our conversation is that manifestation isn't simply about getting what you want. It's about becoming the person who can experience the life you want. As Robert puts it near the end of our conversation, this requires practice, patience, clarity about your desires and a willingness to work on the beliefs you hold about yourself. ️The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented by Aldren Sanctuary Wisdom Returned.

  Can Breathwork Take You Beyond the Mind? | Anthony Abbagnano

  Sep 6, 20261h 20m

  What if one of the most powerful tools for changing your state of consciousness has been with you since the moment you were born? In this episode of The Shaman Stories Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Anthony Abbagnano, founder of Alchemy of Breath, to explore the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of conscious breathing. Anthony has spent decades exploring the breath through practices including pranayama, rebirthing, meditation and other traditions. After a serious illness later in life brought him back to the importance of breathing one breath at a time, breathwork became the center of his life's work. Today, Alchemy of Breath has grown into a global breathwork school and community with more than 2,000 certified facilitators across over 50 countries. In this conversation, we explore: • Why conscious breathing can change our emotional state • Breathwork and nervous-system regulation • Anthony's experiences with breathwork and altered states of consciousness • Conscious Connected Breathwork • The similarities Anthony sees between breathwork and plant medicine experiences • Using breath practices before you actually need them • Breathwork as a tool for relationships and intimacy • Trauma, emotional patterns and inner work • Breathwork, meditation and spiritual awareness • Why Anthony believes the breath can help us move beyond our normal thinking • His vision for Breathe for Peace • Teaching breathwork to children • Community and the importance of healing together • Alchemy of Breath and training future breathwork facilitators Anthony also shares a simple practice he uses with his wife during conflict: stopping, looking into each other's eyes and taking ten breaths together. He describes how those few breaths can completely change the emotional space between them. One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is Anthony's advice to practice breathwork when you don't need it. By practicing during calm moments, we become more capable of accessing the breath when stress, anxiety or difficult emotions actually arise. ️ The Shaman Stories Podcast Presented by Aldren Sanctuary Wisdom Returned.
