S1 E18 - Do You Struggle with Relationships? Let's Explore the Bigger Picture - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
Relationships can be some of our greatest teachers — and our greatest challenges. In this episode of the Manifesting Miracles series, Jan Engels-Smith invites listeners to explore the energetic and spiritual layers behind relationship struggles, boundaries, and emotional growth. Rather than seeing relationship difficulties as failures, Jan encourages us to view them as powerful mirrors for inner evolution and opportunities for alignment.
The session begins with a grounding invocation using the breath, helping participants center themselves and open to deeper insight.
The group explores:
• The power of feeling as the energetic fuel behind manifestation
• How to work with your bucket list in a spiritually aligned way
• Real examples from Jan and participants on bucket-list creation and success
• A deep dive into relationships and navigating them with clarity and compassion
Key questions discussed include:
a) What do you do when relationships go awry?
b) What are healthy, soul-honoring boundaries?
c) Are boundaries always the solution — or is there a deeper layer?
d) What is the bigger energetic picture when you struggle with relationships?
This heartfelt conversation blends spirituality, emotional insight, and practical wisdom — offering a wider lens through which to understand both yourself and the people in your life.
If you’ve ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or discouraged in relationships, this episode offers perspective, guidance, and encouragement to approach connection from a higher vibration and a place of inner empowerment.
Manifesting Miracles is a bi-monthly gathering on Zoom that brings together participants from around the world who are committed to creating positive change in their lives—whether in careers, relationships, health, or finances.

S1 E16 - Removing the Masks: Returning to Your True Self - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
Welcome to the Talking Stick Podcast, where co-hosts Jan Engels-Smith—founder of the LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism and Energy Healing and author of Becoming Yourself: A Journey from Head to Heart—and Micah Schwader—Transformational Writing Coach and author of Stumbling Into Grace: The Adventures of a Transgender Shaman—share shamanic teachings and lived wisdom to help you create a life aligned with your true essence.
In this powerful and reflective episode, Jan and Micah explore the masks we wear — the identities shaped by conditioning, cultural expectations, trauma responses, and inherited belief systems. These masks often form without our conscious awareness, yet they shape how we move through the world, how we relate to others, and how we see ourselves.
From their years of shamanic practice and transformational work, Jan and Micah illuminate:
• How masks develop and why we hold onto them
• The subtle ways these identities limit our growth and authenticity
• Shamanic tools and rituals for recognizing and releasing old layers
• Stories from personal and client journeys of profound identity transformation
• What it feels like to step into life unmasked — present, empowered, and soul-aligned
This episode is an invitation to gently examine the false identities you’ve been asked to carry, and to reclaim the truth of who you are beneath them. If you’ve ever felt like you're living a life scripted by someone else’s expectations, this conversation will help guide you back to yourself.
Come listen, reflect, and remember the you beneath the stories — the you that Spirit always knew.
