Called to Shamanism: Decoding the Pull You Didn't Go Looking For, with Dr. Amelia R Cohn

Some callings you choose. Some choose you. This episode is for anyone carrying a pull they cannot explain and cannot reason away.Dr. Amelia R Cohn tells Nazish how shamanism found her mid-career in science, why intuition and evidence can walk side by side, and how to read the signs of a calling without fear.About the Guest:Dr. Amelia R Cohn is a naturopathic doctor blending functional lab testing, nervous system work, and two decades in energy medicine. Her own healing journey shaped how she holds both precision and mystery.Key Takeaways:A calling arrives as a return, not a decision. It keeps circling back until you stop arguing.Resistance is part of the path. Every hero's journey has a refusal before the yes.Intuition and science are not opposites. Ayurveda, yoga, and Vedic astrology all carry observation and precision.Read the ordinary signals: what pulls your curiosity, what comes easily, what keeps repeating as synchronicity.When doubt gets loud, rest instead of believing the story. Doubt often marks recalibration, not failure.Connect With the Guest:Instagram: @dr_amelia_nd | LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mynaturopathEpisode Chapters: (approx.)[00:00] Some Callings Choose You — the pull that arrives uninvited and refuses to leave[03:20] What We Misunderstand About Being Called — mystery, fear, and the demand to pay attention[07:45] When You Stop Resisting — a beginning and an ending, and the discomfort between them[12:10] Science and Spirit, Side by Side — curiosity as the engine beneath both[16:30] The Book That Jumped Off the Shelf — the moment the calling stopped being subtle[21:15] Small Signs in Ordinary Life — synchronicity, natural gifts, and the skills you are asked to learn[26:00] When the Calling Goes Quiet — doubt, rest, and choosing which story gets a seat🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?
