Courage is the Path: Choosing to Continue to Move the Way

We want in the World

This conversation on my podcast is long overdue! We’ve had so many convos offline, bombas the conocimiento dropped and we kept saying, “we need to get on the podcast!” So excited to share this powerful soul and her inspirational journey!

• Shama shares how she experienced truth and a spark of awareness connecting with her friend while hiding in a dark closet at thirteen.

• How she knew she was designed for more than what an Islamic Indian home was preparing her for.

• First- generation Americans and their parents who seem to keep a timestamp from their time of emigration into the US. Turning away from Islam and arranged marriages.

• Courage is the path- I choose how I want to move anyway.

• Chasing stability and financial security and how when you’re fighting for survival you just do the next best thing to survive.

• How New Yorkers used to malign Queens and Staten Island.

• How she survived and thrived after workplace manipulation and racism.

• There are so many spoken and unspoken rules and labels, and the power of creating our own thing.
• Subtle and practical ways in which she was guided to embrace being a Shaman, meeting the panther.

• How most indigenous cultures practice similar ceremonies and dances and the reflection of oneness and the honoring of the specific medicine and its survival.

• Exploring She of a thousand names and the Father, Mother and Son rather than the Father, son and the Holy Spirit.

• Shama geeks out on migration patterns in history and how over 60% of the people in the US are German descendants and how the media was skewed to serve the majority.

• Sharing the ancestral patterns that needed to be healed in order to be who she is today and the experience of reparenting with a father who is healing.

• Plant medicine- the call, the guidance to do it or not and how it can serve.
