The Permission Slip
The Permission Slip
Podcast Description
I love everything to do with consciousness - personal growth books, meditation, psychedelics, bodywork, Tantric retreats, chakras, Human Design, channeled works, you name it! For the past fifteen years, I’ve been on a deep healing journey. I regularly engage relative strangers in conversation about topics relating to consciousness, transformation and psychedelics (sometimes to their annoyance). I've been dancing around starting a podcast for a couple years now. My imposter syndrome has kept me thinking I don't have anything worthwhile to share, while I vainly attempt to find a community with whom I resonate.
I've been fortunate to work with some really gifted practitioners during my journey. They not only gave me tools to heal, they gave me PERMISSION to heal. My intention in producing and distributing The Permission Slip podcast is to share knowledge of their talents with the rest of the world. Many of us have been programmed to believe that healing only comes from those in the medical profession who have gone through a particular set of training protocols. This is not true. Doctors and therapists and the like are (mostly) well-meaning and very good at what they do. Sometimes, more often than we are maybe lead to believe, what they recommend or do is not what is truly needed for healing.
In the spirit of the following passage, I'm committing to a minimum of six podcasts that will be discussions with practitioners and healers from whom I've derived personal benefit. The purpose of this effort is therefore to shed light on the diverse ways of healing as well as moving into right relationship with oneself.

In this episode of The Permission Slip, I sit down with Shweta Shyamani, a clinical hypnotherapist, energy intuitive, and co-leader of Rewilding Retreats for Women. Shweta shares her powerful journey from corporate success to soul-centered healing—walking away from an MBA-driven marketing career just days before 9/11 and eventually finding her calling in energy medicine and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT).
We talk about how unresolved emotions and energy imbalances can manifest as physical illness, why traditional talk therapy often keeps us looping in old stories, and how techniques like RTT, EFT tapping, and hypnotherapy help people access deeper layers of healing. Shweta also opens up about her mother’s decades-long illness, which became the catalyst for her path as a healer, and about her retreats that help women reconnect with their feminine essence, emotional truth, and sense of belonging.
It’s a rich, heartfelt conversation about courage, intuition, and what happens when we finally choose alignment over achievement.
Special Guest: Shweta Shyamani.
