Finding Your Authentic Self Through Nature's Wisdom - with B. Jason Gibler

Up-Level Your Life with Mindy

When we look at the environmental challenges facing our planet, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. But what if healing Earth starts with healing ourselves? In this transformative conversation, clinical psychotherapist and leadership coach B. Jason Gibler reveals how reconnecting with ancient earth-based wisdom might be our path forward.
Growing up off-grid in the forests of the American West, Jason developed a profound connection to nature that would later shape his approach to spiritual psychology. Drawing from his Mexican heritage and extensive study of wisdom traditions ranging from Mesoamerican shamanism to Buddhism, he's crafted a unique approach that bridges science and spirituality.
At the heart of Jason's work lies a powerful truth: wellness requires both connection and authenticity. While modern society has pushed us toward separation and differentiation, we've lost the integration that balances it. He explains how this mirrors the imbalance between divine masculine and feminine energies that has led to environmental degradation over thousands of years.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Jason discusses befriending our fears rather than overcoming them. By approaching difficult emotions with curiosity instead of judgment, we transform our relationship with ourselves and discover what these emotions are trying to teach us. This inner healing process ultimately extends outward, changing how we interact with others and the natural world.
Jason's upcoming book, "The Way of the Jaguar," weaves these concepts into a narrative journey where power animals reveal spiritual truths to a disconnected land developer. Through storytelling, Jason makes ancient wisdom accessible to modern readers seeking deeper meaning without religious dogma.
Whether you're feeling burned out, spiritually disconnected, or simply curious about earth-based traditions, this episode offers practical insights for reconnecting with your authentic self and recognizing your place within the great circle of life. By learning to love all parts of ourselves—even those we'd prefer to hide—we develop greater capacity to extend that same acceptance to others and the planet we share.
Take a walk in nature, feel the ground beneath your feet, and remember: the divine energy flowing through all living things flows through you too.
