281: Understanding Grief

We live in a digital world that makes it easy to disconnect from the real world, but it's our real world that offers us what truly need. In this episode of Potent Truth, I share my thoughts on the online space while sharing a very important announcement. Tune in and learn about the ways in which social media might be using you, the importance of unplugging from the digital space so you can plug back into the world around you, why you need to honor your unique Dharma instead of following in the path of others, and ways in which you can begin offering yourself what you need. FYI: I have two openings for 6-month one-on-one journeys beginning in August.  These 6-month journeys offer deep support and guidance to help you cultivate depth in your presence, and intimacy + integrity in your life and leadership. Working with me one-on-one is like having me in your back pocket. This is the deepest work that I offer and these journeys may also include sacred medicine ceremonies. If this calls to you, I invite you to fill out my application form found at: https://www.rubyfremon.com/letstalk If you're seeking support but aren't yet ready to invest in a journey, I highly recommend grabbing a copy of my book, "Potent Leadership."

Grief isn't something that we need to fix–it's something that we get to feel. In this special minisode, I share my thoughts on grief. Whether you're grieving or you know someone who is grieving, my prayer is that this episode sheds light on the beauty that grief has to offer. Tune in and learn why grief is so intimately connected with love, what type of support is truly needed for someone who is grieving, the reasons why most people are uncomfortable with grief, and 7 things you need to understand about grief.

In a society that encourages us to fit inside the confines of a box, what is it like to walk a true shamanic path? Join me and Alyson Charles for a fun and deep conversation that will demystify what it means to be a shaman in our world today. In this episode, you'll learn the importance of being steadfast in your vision, what it means to walk your path in a good way (vs. for ego), why reverence must be practiced (and what that looks like), how to uncover and work with your power animals, plus you'll gain insights that will help you evolve from our old world paradigm to our new Earth paradigm. Internationally renowned shaman, best-selling author and host of Ceremony Circle Podcast, Alyson Charles went from being a national champion athlete, top-rated radio host and national daytime television talk show host to aligning with her calling as a shaman after a traumatic moment provided her awakening. Since then, her ability to share ancient sacred wisdom and divine energy and be a powerful catalyst for change ignited a global phenomenon. Alyson devotes her life to living by the calls and directives of Source, spiritual immersions and expansions and preserving ancient wisdom practices and traditions, while simultaneously honoring the precise way her Earth mission is to work in these modern times. Alyson is often called to share these teachings and transmission to very large, mass audiences, through various media channels and to the mainstream in powerfully creative ways. This allows the energies to go to places that perhaps need it the most. She has been a leading pioneer in this work, taking it to places it has never been before. Alyson has been featured in Oprah Magazine, Marie Claire, The HBO Film Festival, PopSugar, Art Basel, Amazon and so much more. But what's most important to understand is that the depth of her own spiritual path is one that permeates in the depth of her presence.

Trauma happens, and it's time for us to begin addressing it with the responsibility it deserves. Join Will Rēzin and I for a deep discussion that will help you understand the truth about trauma work. In this episode, you'll learn what trauma really is and how it is shaped, the difference between being trauma-aware, trauma-informed, and trauma-trained, the importance of understanding your scope of practice as a coach, facilitator, or practitioner, the difference between being with your emotions and expressing your emotions, and why trauma work is so important in these times.  Will is a Somatic Coach, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Trauma educator and Co-Founder of Trauma + Somatics, a company that teaches trauma-informed care and somatic techniques to helping professionals. Will Rezin is a leading expert in the field of coaching, personal development, trauma, and somatics with a unique approach that combines therapeutic somatic practices with traditional coaching methods. His Formative Somatics approach is designed to help individuals tap into their inner wisdom and intuition in order to achieve greater self-awareness, happiness, and success. At the core of Will's approach is the belief that the body holds important information and wisdom that is often overlooked or ignored in traditional coaching methods. He argues that our physical sensations and emotions can provide valuable insights into our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, and that by paying attention to them, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our experiences. Will has been working as a coach for more than 9 years. He has worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life: CEOs, professional athletes, Emmy award winning producers, global philanthropists, Fortune 500 brand developers, entrepreneurs, artists, teachers, therapists, and more.

With so many horror stories and myths floating around about Kambo, it's important to understand how Kambo truly works. In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and mentor, Jason Fellows and we dive into a conversation that will illuminate the truth about Kambo. Tune in and learn about the biological and chemical makeup of Kambo, how it truly works once it's administered, why the purge has nothing to do with Kambo's real magic, what health issues it can support you with and why, and we shed light on the most common myths and red flags when it comes to Kambo use and Kambo practitioners. Jason, a native of Texas, spent six years in the U.S. military, followed by 12 years working in the oil fields all over the world. In 2015, during his travels and explorations, he found himself in the Amazon jungles of Peru, exploring some traditions of native cultures. Over the course of the next year, Jason explored deeper into these traditions and eventually found Kambo in the jungle about 200 Kilometers outside of Iquitos. He soon began to notice his own healing of anxiety through Kambo. At this point, Jason decided to focus on a life of service to others through the facilitation of Kambo. After a year of working with Kambo on his own, he attended an intense training program to learn to facilitate for others in need of Kambo. Jason developed his own methodology in working with Kambo, from working with thousands of clients from all walks of life, ranging from professional athletes, soldiers, chiropractors, lawyers, and musicians, to your typical 65-year-old grandmother battling depression. Witnessing the Kambo movement explode in recent years and seeing "facilitators" of Kambo come onto the scene practicing Kambo in non-traditional ways in a pseudoscientific approach, Jason made the decision to develop his own Kambo practitioner training course, Tribal Detox. The Tribal Detox training focuses on safety and the known science of Kambo with the goal of producing confident and competent practitioners that continue to facilitate this beautiful experience for people in need, while keeping the client and practitioner safe above all else and keeping Kambo in a positive light.
