S5-Episode 6: A Powerful Framework For Real, Lasting Change

Send us Fan Mail The Andean Medicine Wheel: A Powerful Map for Real Change In this episode of Lemons & Pineapples, I’m sharing one of the most transformative frameworks I use in my own life and with my clients: the Andean Medicine Wheel. If you’ve ever thought: “I know this isn’t working…” “I understand why I do this… but I can’t change it.” “Why do I keep repeating the same pattern?” This episode is for you. The Medicine Wheel offers a grounded, cyclical map for navigating change — working not just at the level of insight, but at the level of the unconscious where our behaviour patterns actually live. We explore the four directions: 🐍 South – Serpent: What needs shedding? Old stories, inherited patterns, identities you’ve outgrown. 🐆 West – Jaguar: What needs facing? Shadow work, fear, suppressed emotions, truth-telling. 🕊 North – Hummingbird: What perspective is missing? Meaning, wisdom, vision and possibility. 🦅 East – Eagle/Condor: How do we bring the vision into reality? Practical action and aligned embodiment. This is the framework I’ll be guiding women through at my Weaving a New Way weekend retreat in Johannesburg (14–15 March), and it’s also the foundation of my one-to-one shamanic coaching work. If you’re ready to stop circling the same story and start creating something new, this episode will give you a map. Find out more about Weaving A New Way HERE.
