Meet an energy worker who’s been called the “Amy Schumer of shamanic practitioners.” Rachel White, the Skeptical Shaman, is known to be equally blunt and spiritually unique, breaking every preconceived notion of the traditional image of what it means to live a spiritual life.
Rachel blends real-world pragmatism, her sense of humor, and ancient tools and techniques into her practice as a trained shaman, medium, energy practitioner, self-published author, and flower essence maker.
She is, simply put, for the spiritually-curious but noncommittal who are looking for a more profound sense of meaning without feeling like they are joining a cult.

- How intuition is a superpower that offers us better data than our rational mind alone can offer us
- How “magic” is just technology we don’t fully understand yet
In the episode, we discuss:
- Rachel’s transition from high-level corporate VP to energy practitioner
- Why it's important to create structure around your side hustle
- Rachel’s path to shamanism
- Making sure that your spiritual teachers and gurus aren't actually cult leaders
- Rachel’s first tarot deck and choosing a deck for you
- Being called the “Amy Schumer of shamanic practitioners”
- How to use shamanic tools and technologies in our business and life
- What it means if you pull "bad" tarot cards
