[Interview] Returning to Connection in Chaotic Times: Indigenous Wisdom on Healing, Addiction, & Inner Freedom with James Goodin

In a world that feels increasingly intense—filled with fear, stress, and uncertainty—this episode of The Activate Change Podcast is an invitation back to connection, spiritual grounding, and inner freedom.

Chloe Faith Urban sits down with Arrowhawk (James Goodin), a Cherokee elder, healer, and beloved mentor, for a candid conversation on prayer, ceremony, and Indigenous wisdom—and what it means to live in alignment with the sacred trinity of mind, body, and spirit. Arrowhawk shares how disconnection from the Earth, the divine, and each other can fuel isolation and chaos, and how ceremony as medicine can be woven into daily life—sometimes as simply as blessing your coffee with intention.

You’ll also hear powerful teachings on the sweat lodge ceremony as a path of healing and transformation, particularly for those navigating addiction recovery, burnout, grief, trauma, or a loss of meaning. Recorded in late fall, this conversation feels especially timely: a reminder that worthiness isn’t earned, and that freedom is an inner choice, even when the outer world feels dominated by fear and control.

Note: There’s a brief audio shift mid-episode due to a recording interruption. We kept it in to preserve the integrity, wisdom, and healing medicine of the conversation.

In This Episode We Explore:

• The sacred trinity of mind–body–spirit and why “everything comes in threes”
• How disconnection fuels isolation, anxiety, and social chaos
• Daily rituals and ceremony as tools for grounding, energy clearing, and resilience
• The sweat lodge as a ceremony for healing, transformation, and reconnecting to the self
• Healing the healers: why helpers, therapists, and practitioners need support and renewal
• Joy, humor, and laughter as medicine in hard times
• Teachings on freedom, domination, and choice from an Indigenous perspective
• Feather medicine and how different feathers support energetic healing
• Why “unworthiness” is an illusion—and how to reclaim inherent worth
• Addiction and ceremony: finding your way back to yourself—“the answer is in the mirror.”

From Self-Sabotage to Soul Purpose | Healing the Inner Saboteur & the Witch Wound

In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, Gabrielli guides a live healing session with Paula, a lifelong helper who feels called to step into her soul purpose — but finds herself blocked by self-sabotage, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome.

Together, they explore how the inner saboteur often forms as a survival response to early childhood conditioning, ancestral trauma, and even past-life memories connected to the witch wound. As Paula traces the instinct to stay small and quiet, deeper fears around visibility, power, and safety begin to surface.

Through somatic awareness, energy healing, and intuitive guidance, Paula starts to release the belief that her gifts are dangerous. What unfolds is a profound moment of healing and remembrance — reclaiming her voice, self-trust, and the knowing that her intuition and light are not something to hide, but something to live from.

This episode is for anyone navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of being seen, trauma healing, spiritual awakening, or the desire to live in alignment with their true purpose.

✨ Inside this episode:

• How self-sabotage and the inner saboteur are often rooted in trauma, not failure
• Healing imposter syndrome through nervous system regulation and embodiment
• Understanding the witch wound and fear of visibility in spiritual and intuitive people
• How childhood messages and past-life trauma shape self-worth and confidence
• Reclaiming intuition, voice, and soul purpose through mind-body healing
• A reminder that your light is not dangerous — it’s essential

Ep 36 — Awakening the Soul: Rebirth, Resilience, and Our Collective Evolution with Galit Raiman and Gabrielli LaChiara

In this second conversation with master astrologer Galit Raiman, Gabrielli LaChiara joins the conversation. It’s a deep and expansive conversation about the Soul — what it is, where it comes from, and how it guides us through cycles of death, rebirth, and awakening.

Together, they explore the connection between astrology, consciousness, and healing — from karmic soul families to the myth of “everything happens for a reason.” They unpack the tension between fate and free will, the acceleration of human evolution, and the vital role of community, empathy, and faith in times of global upheaval.

This episode touches on:

• How our soul’s origin and essence shape our purpose in this lifetime
• The dance between destiny and choice — and how awareness expands our freedom
• Why so many of us are experiencing rebirth within the same body
• The Age of Aquarius and what it means for consciousness, healing, and humanity
• The importance of faith, community, and staying resourced as we navigate global change

It’s a potent, heart-opening reminder that we came here for these times — and that our sensitivity, empathy, and awareness are not burdens, but gifts for the collective awakening.
