Trauma therapy and shamanic healing collide in this conversation with Angie Fenske, and the result is a surprisingly practical roadmap for getting unstuck. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the same emotional patterns, burnout, or relationship cycles, this episode shows how nature-based healing, ceremony, and clinical insight can work together to create real change.Josh sits down with Angie Fenske, founder and director of Life Journeys in Joplin, Missouri, to trace the path that took her from trauma therapist to energetic healer and teacher. Angie shares the personal crisis that led her to seek her own healing, the single energy session that pulled her out of fight-flight-freeze, and the retreat work that transformed long-held patterns she had carried for years.You'll discover:

• Why Angie uses stones, breath, and the Mesa as tools for emotional release and grounding
• How her year-long Mesa Building program works across three retreats to shift trauma, ancestry, and identity patterns
• What makes in-person and remote energy sessions both effective, even across distance
• The Peruvian teachings behind Amaru, Jaguar, and Eagle energy, and why they matter for healing
• Simple grounding practices you can use right away, including earth connection, gratitude offerings, and breath work

Angie also opens up about her mentors, her time in Peru, and how the collective, land-based wisdom of the Andes shaped the work she now brings to clients and retreat participants. Along the way, she explains why resilience is less about perfection and more about starting again, returning to the breath, and learning to move with life instead of resisting it. This is essential listening if you’re curious about energy work, trauma recovery, spiritual practice, or the deeper mechanics of transformation. Whether you’re looking for your own healing or simply want to understand how someone bridges clinical therapy with indigenous ceremonial traditions, Angie offers a grounded, eye-opening perspective that stays with you long after the episode ends.
