Exploring Intuition and Gut Instinct ft. Kirk Westwood

 

In this episode of Chats and Tatts, host Aaron.  Della Vedova welcomes a metaphysical guest known as the corporate shaman, Kirk Westwood.

 

Out of a life-threatening illness diagnosis came a quest for wisdom and healing.  Kirk's journey around the world studying extreme practices and rituals led him toward an understanding and awareness of creating luck. 

 

The conversation explores the concept of forgiveness and its connection to self-love and awareness. They discuss the idea that holding onto resentment can attract similar negative experiences, emphasizing the importance of letting go and not allowing past actions to affect one's future. The episode delves into deeper subjects beyond art and tattoos, letting go of the past and focusing on personal growth, catering to the audience's interest in metaphysical topics.
