A Mental Health Break
From Fight Club to Spiritual Sourcery with Justin Shaw
What if the darkest moments of your past are not a burden, but a blueprint for your greatest transformation?
In this raw and powerful episode of A Mental Health Break, we sit down with Justin L. Shaw, a mystical comedian, Doctor of Divinity, and author of Sourcery 101: 13 Rungs to a Higher Elevation of Consciousness. Justin, a former stand-up comedian, gets real about growing up in a "fight club atmosphere" and his personal battles with substance abuse, PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders.
Justin shares the profound experience that changed the course of his life, leading him from what he calls "spiritual bankruptcy" to a path of empowering others.
He'll shed light on the difference between "Big T" and "little t" traumas, and how we are often programmed to respond to our world in ways that no longer serve us. With a unique blend of humor, spirituality, and no-nonsense wisdom, Justin challenges the status quo and offers a new system for reclaiming your self-worth and manifesting your highest potential.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of pain, and for those ready to wake up, live their truth, and embark on their own spiritual revolution.
Be sure to do a deep dive into his book, Sourcery 101: 13 Rungs to a Higher Elevation of Consciousness, on Writing with Authors, after this episode right here! Enjoy the shows and your mental health break.
