S1 E26 - "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
I'm excited to share some insights on this podcast episode, titled "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." This famous quote from Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, spoken by Jaques in Act II, Scene VII, beautifully captures a message I received years ago from the Spirits.
The message is about the essence of life as a play, where we all take on various roles and navigate different "acts" throughout our journeys. Who are the players in your life and why did they take on the roles that they did? Conceptualizing this concept helps reframe some of our most difficult relationships, making room for healing, celebrations, and awe of the magnificence of the universe and life.
The podcast also focuses on personal success, guiding you toward achieving your heart's desires. In this episode, we'll feature guests who share their unique success stories and how they applied manifesting principles to their lives.
We'll also explore the immense value of community and how our manifesting miracle community fosters a supportive environment that multiplies results.
Key topics for discussion will include:

S1 E25 - Quantum Fields: Shamanism Meets Science - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
In this expansive episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the mysteries and possibilities of the quantum fields—and how these concepts align beautifully with shamanic practices. What happens when we enter the space of all potential realities? Can we collapse time, rewrite our stories, and transform our lives by stepping into a new energetic frequency?
Jan offers a powerful invocation to begin, grounding us into the heart and the right brain—what she refers to as the entry point to the quantum field. From there, the conversation flows into deep territory: clair-senses, timelines, non-linear healing, manifestation through imagination, and the observer effect. Micah shares personal stories from Vision Quest experiences and what it means to live as a “blended being”—a state of conscious presence between realities.
Together, they offer insights into how the quantum and the shamanic can work in tandem, not just for personal transformation, but for collective healing. Whether you’re intrigued by metaphysics, energy medicine, or simply feel the pull to live in alignment with a greater mystery, this episode invites you into the sacred field of all possibilities.
Tune in to discover:
· How to access and navigate the quantum fields
· The role of intention and imagination in spiritual manifestation
· Why storytelling shapes our reality—and how to shift the narrative
· How individual healing can ripple through time, space, and generations
Listen now and step into the realm where science meets spirit.

S1 E23 - Surrender, Trust, and the Illusion of Control - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
In this deep and heartfelt episode, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the spiritual paradox of surrender—not as giving up, but as letting go of the illusion that we were ever in control. Through personal stories, Vision Quest experiences, and teachings from the Lakota tradition, they reflect on how spiritual breakthroughs often come not through strength, but through surrender, trust, and deep humility.
Jan shares vivid stories of illness, injury, and discomfort during Vision Quests that pushed her beyond ego and into the hands of Spirit, while Micah reflects on the difference between control and true trust—from financial surrender to the surprising peace that comes when you stop wrestling with the universe. Together, they unpack the semantics and stigma around “surrender,” revealing it instead as a sacred practice of receptivity, presence, and alignment.
This episode invites listeners into an honest inquiry: Do I truly trust Spirit? Can I surrender to the unknown without fear? With humor, depth, and grace, Jan and Micah offer a blueprint for living in flow—even when life doesn’t go according to plan.
“When we finally let go of the need to be in control, the real magic begins.”
Tune in for soul medicine, laughter, and two wonderful storytellers. Trust us—you’ll want to hear this one.

S1 E22 - Reframe Your Thinking and Get New Results - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This episode opens with a sacred invocation from Jan — a moment to clear the mind, open to the quantum field, and anchor a safe and expansive space for everyone listening.
From there, we move into an honest, energized conversation sparked by a participant who has been practicing Jan’s Super Self meditation every day. She shares the powerful breakthroughs she’s experiencing — along with unexpected light-headedness — and Jan offers insight on how to stay grounded while elevating your vibration.
Throughout the episode, Jan responds to deep, practical spiritual questions, including:
• Can you manifest multiple intentions at once, or is focus essential?
• What does it truly mean to embody a feeling — and why does it matter?
• Why do obstacles keep appearing on the path, even when you're doing the work?
• Are those obstacles reflections of belief systems we haven’t transformed yet?
• What’s the difference between repeating a prayer and feeling it into form?
• When is soul retrieval needed, and can you do it for yourself?
• How does illness arise through a shamanic lens?
This episode is a rich tapestry of experience, guidance, and lived spiritual practice. Jan also shares wisdom from her books Becoming Yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart and Through the Rabbit Hole: Explore and Experience the Shamanic Journey and Energy Medicine — grounding these teachings in decades of deep shamanic work.
If you're ready to align, embody, and elevate — while staying rooted in your humanity — this conversation will meet you where you are and help you rise from there.
