Shapeshifter

#16 - Moths, mushrooms and hummingbirds

Caro Gomez Episode 16

What happens when the part of you that has been hidden for decades finally emerges? In this deeply personal episode of Shapeshifter, I share a transformative journey through psilocybin, ancestral wisdom, and the realization that shook me to my core. This is a story of identity, joy, grief, and the spirit animals that guide us all along.

Join me as we explore:

  • The Power of Psychedelics: How a week-long mushroom retreat in Costa Rica opened a door to self-discovery I never expected.
  • Hummingbird vs. Moth: The revelation that a lifelong connection to joy, color, and movement was also a way to protect myself from sadness and grief.
  • Ancestral Guidance: How spirit animals, ceremony, and deep introspection can reveal long-buried wounds and new ways of understanding yourself.
  • Embodying the Full Spectrum: Why joy and sorrow are not opposites but part of the same journey, and how allowing space for both has shifted everything.
  • What Comes Next: How this experience is reshaping the way I move through the world, my work, and the way I show up for you in my community.

This episode is raw, vulnerable, and a true turning point. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been running from a part of yourself, I invite you to listen with an open heart.
