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 beautiful synchronicities involving spiders, spirit messages, and how our vibration affects the natural world around us.Send us a textSoulTech with Shaman Isis Trailer Shaman Isis Books, Magazines, Films & More  Learn about the work of Shaman's SoulTechFoundation.org. Support the showThe Edgy, Soul-Stirring Podcast for Conscious Living in the Age of AI & Aquarius Hosted by 3x Best-Selling Author, Spiritual Leader, and founder of the SoulTech Foundation, Cynthia L.
