Dedicated to my dad Wally. Love you pops!

In this deeply personal bonus episode, Shumba Guru explores the powerful and often painful dynamics between fathers and sons. Through intimate reflections and spiritual insight, he uncovers how a father’s love or lack thereof can shape a boy’s identity, self-worth, and emotional world well into adulthood.

This episode is a heartfelt journey into grief, forgiveness, generational trauma, and ultimately, healing. If you’ve ever longed for a father's validation or struggled with emotional wounds left unspoken, this is an invitation to begin your own path toward understanding and breaking the cycle.

Thank you so much for listening!

When I first started my spiritual journey, I never thought that my past would play a significant role. I figured spirituality was all about focusing on the present. Living in the NOW as the say. But there’s also that old saying ‘In order to know where you’re going, you need to know where you came from!”

So please join me on this Episode of How I Met My Soul, as I take a journey back to my past, to find answers.

A spiritual journey can be a very challenging one. If you can imagine that for the most part, there is no set manual or a convenient spiritual mentor/guru/shaman at hand to help guide you as you try and figure things out. And so we are exposed bare, to a world full of mystery. The question then becomes "how do I know that I'm on the right path?". The answer is out there, I'd like to believe!

How I met my SOUL Podcast is hosted by Shumba Guru, a descendant of the African Lion Clan, join him as he delves his personal spiritual experiences as well as topics that will hopefully help you to find meaning in your spiritual experiences and lead you towards your ultimate connection with your divine soul and life purpose.

Thank you so much for listening!

In this heartfelt bonus episode, Shumba Guru invites you into a deeply personal reflection on identity, inheritance, and the unseen emotional legacies we carry. He contemplates the ways we mirror our ancestors, not just in how we look or act, but in the pain we unconsciously inherit.

What if the struggles we face in love, self-worth, and vulnerability aren’t just ours alone? What if they’re echoes of wounds passed down through generations? From the silence of our parents to the fears of our grandparents, this episode explores the truth about generational trauma — how it shapes us, and how we can begin to heal.

You’ll be guided through powerful questions about who you truly are, beyond the pain. With vulnerability, insight, and compassion, Shumba shares how healing doesn’t just free us, it liberates the generations before and after us.

This is not just an episode, it’s a call to reclaim your identity, release inherited pain, and choose a new path rooted in love, awareness, and joy.

You are not your trauma. You are a whole, radiant being. And your healing begins now.
