You can find Cat:
What you do with a visionary experience matters just as much as the experience itself, and Cat has made it her life’s work to help people make sense of what they’ve seen, felt, and heard in these profound moments.
This is a conversation that goes far beyond the ceremony tent. Cat and Karen dive into the nature of identity, the gift of pain, the necessity of silence, and why the obsession with “ego death” may be missing the point entirely.
In this episode you’ll discover:
How the relentless inner critic gets loudest exactly when we stop moving, and what to do with it
Why meaning is made, not inherent and how the same visionary experience can lead to profound healing or serious derailment depending on how it’s integrated
The dangerous patterns Cat sees in her integration practice, from people using spiritual experiences to avoid real life, to those who weaponize “oneness” as a justification for harmful behavior
Why the ego isn’t the enemy and why destroying it isn’t the goal
What happened when Cat crashed her car and was forced, for the first time, to simply sit still and what she found in that silence.
- Her upcoming book “How to Choose Your Shaman” a practical guide to identifying whether a healer is truly gifted or simply power-hungry
- Why pain is the number one catalyst for transformation and her hope that one day we’ll be driven by purpose and joy instead
- The sacred rage of the goddess Durga, and why anger may be the emotion that loves you most
Cat also reflects on Thich Nhat Hanh’s practice of thanking negative emotions, the nature of suffering in Buddhist teachings, and why transitions, however brutal, are always an invitation to wipe the slate clean and become something new.
Her book “How to Choose Your Shaman” is coming soon on Amazon
