In this profound and illuminating conversation, Clint and Rachelle sit down with their friend Hudson, a decorated combat veteran turned shamanic healer, to explore how trauma, awakening, and spirit are all interwoven in the human journey of healing.
From the battlefield to the breathwork mat, Hudson shares his powerful story of transformation — how his search for relief from PTSD and deep emotional pain became an unexpected initiation into shamanic practice and service to others. Together, they unpack what true healing means beyond religion, how ancient practices meet modern awakening, and how reconnecting to spirit is not rebellion — it’s remembrance.
✨ Shamanic healing vs. pastor/therapist/healer — what actually changes in the body
✨ Guilt, shame, and fear as energetic imprints — and how they’re removed, not “managed”
✨ The parallels between shamanic wisdom and the teachings of Jesus & the mystics
