Nancy and Sue from The Caregiver's Journey join Shaman Isis to discuss their mission of supporting dementia family caregivers with practical resources and emotional guidance.

• Founded their podcast after experiencing the challenges of caring for spouses with dementia
• Created practical resources because caregivers receive little guidance after a dementia diagnosis
• Share that caregiving can be isolating due to stigma and lack of self-identification as caregivers
• Explain that caregivers often experience "drip grief" as they gradually lose the person they knew
• Discuss common challenging behaviors like sundowning, delusions, wandering, and incontinence
• Warn about the "caregiver cliff" with dementia cases projected to double by 2060 while caregiver numbers decline
• Emphasize the importance of finding support through community groups and online resources
• Advocate for self-care as essential rather than optional for effective caregiving
• Encourage caregivers to "give yourself grace" and recognize perfection isn't possible
• Highlight a promising Medicare pilot program that may improve support for dementia caregivers

When was the last time you completely dismantled your identity and rebuilt it from scratch? In this soul-stirring conversation, spiritual coach and shamanic practitioner Kelly Sparta takes us on her extraordinary journey from conventional success to spiritual awakening.

From her earliest days, Kelly was immersed in metaphysical teachings thanks to a mother who recognized her daughter's psychic gifts and was determined not to let them be suppressed. By her twenties, Kelly had checked all the boxes of the American Dream – successful career, marriage, home ownership – yet found herself deeply unfulfilled. What followed was a radical act of liberation: she walked away from everything familiar, embarking on what she calls a "drive-about" across 14,000 miles of America, living on $350 a month and the kindness of strangers.

The heart of our conversation explores Kelly's profound shamanic initiation with Grandmother Spider, who delivered a powerful lesson about worthiness that will challenge everything you've been taught about self-value. Kelly describes her experience of "foundational deconstruction" – a three-week period where she lost her sense of identity so completely that she couldn't perform basic tasks – and the surprising gifts that emerged when she allowed herself to be rebuilt naturally.

We delve into the misconceptions surrounding modern shamanism, the nature of spiritual acknowledgment, and why certification programs miss the essence of this ancient healing tradition. Kelly shares beauti

What if our current mental health crisis stems from something as fundamental as our disconnection from our own nervous systems? In this transformative conversation with yoga master Rod Stryker, we uncover why slowing down might be the most revolutionary act in today's hyperactive world.

Rod shares his remarkable 50-year journey from psychology student to Hollywood actor to internationally respected yoga teacher. The turning point? A profound realization that yoga was offering him the self-understanding he'd been seeking through academic studies – an embodied philosophy touching something deep within him that formal education couldn't reach.

As our discussion unfolds, Rod clarifies a critical misunderstanding: what most Americans practice as "yoga" is actually just "asana" (the physical postures). True yoga, he explains, is a quality of attention and presence that can happen with or without physical movement. T

Perhaps most valuable are the practical insights Rod offers about nervous system regulation through practices like Yoga Nidra – a state between meditation and sleep that provides profound rest without requiring the discipline of seated meditation. His upcoming book on this practice promises to make these powerful techniques more accessible to those who need them most.
