Exploring Magical Portals
Life is full of transformative moments – those “magical portals” that shift timelines, fast-track our growth, and completely redefine the path we’re on. This podcast is for the deep thinkers, creatives, and leaders who want to meet life’s challenges with curiosity, courage, and compassion.
I’m Shannon Mary, a NeuroEmotional Coach with The Center for Emotional Education, and in each episode, I’ll take you into the hidden worlds within our emotions – sharing how being present with what we feel can unlock powerful self-awareness, healing, and connection. I weave together personal stories, neuroscience insights, and my experiences supporting others (and myself) through expanded states of consciousness – including plant medicine journeys.
If you’re feeling the call to shift your perspective, make bold moves, or simply understand yourself on a deeper level, you’re in the right place. This space is grounded, expansive, and here to help you navigate the emotional and unseen forces shaping your life.
