In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore the concept of the personal economy—the energetic and practical ecosystem of your financial world—and how to work with it intentionally in times of collective uncertainty.

Rather than getting swept up in fear or overwhelm about national or global economics, I invite you to turn your attention inward. We’ll talk about:

• Why our brains aren’t built to grasp large-scale economic systems

• How past life vows and spiritual conditioning might be influencing your money experience

• The importance of tending your energy body (especially the lower chakras) to support financial flow

• What it means to build a resilient, adaptable financial “greenhouse” that can weather outside storms

• And how you can stop leaking energy into collective anxiety and instead cultivate a grounded, empowered relationship with money

This is a soulful, practical, and energetically savvy look at how to create a personal economy that supports your freedom, peace, and ability to live the life that’s truly yours.

Shift Your State in Seconds: Harnessing Your Inner Mastery!

In this episode of Practical Shamanism, Katie Weatherup explores how we can harness our accumulated mastery with healing practices—like yoga, meditation, or ritual—to shift our energy and emotional state quickly and effectively. With guidance from spirit allies and insights from years of practice, she invites listeners to experiment with "mini versions" of their go-to techniques to move from stress to regulation in just a few breaths.

Katie shares examples from her own life and client work, and she offers important caveats about when the full practice is still needed. This is a powerful conversation for anyone looking to be more efficient and intentional with their healing tools—and to activate the wisdom and energy they already carry within.

In this episode, Katie Weatherup explores the deeper emotional and energetic roots of procrastination through a shamanic lens. Rather than offering surface-level hacks, she unpacks why we get stuck, what our resistance is trying to communicate, and how to create more harmony between our productive drive and our need for rest and emotional processing.

Topics Covered:

• Why procrastination is often a power struggle between parts of yourself

• The hidden role of perfectionism, emotional numbing, and overachievement

• How energetic sensitivity and neurodivergence can impact productivity

• The connection between procrastination and emotional avoidance

• Using procrastination as a signal instead of a personal failing

• How to restore self-efficacy without resorting to inner bullying

• Tips for making peace with your to-do list and accessing flow

• Training yourself in smoother transitions between rest and action

• Using short-time commitments (like 5-10 minutes) to bypass resistance

• Creating sustainable structures that honor your energy rhythms

Key Takeaways:

• Procrastination is often a symptom of emotional tension or unmet needs.

• Your inner overachiever might need limits just as much as encouragement.

• Reframing procrastination as a call for balance can reduce shame and increase effectiveness.

• Emotional presence is more powerful than willpower alone.

• Graceful, nonlinear productivity is often more sustainable than forcing yourself.

Try This:
If you’re stuck on something, try committing to just five minutes of it. You might surprise yourself by shifting into flow—or learn something valuable about what support or timing you need instead.
