A Comedian’s Guide To Trauma Recovery, Addiction And Spiritual Awakening
Manage episode 517813102 series 2793286
It's our 250th episode and a milestone deserves meaning, so we invited mystical comedian and author Justin L. Shaw to help us rethink trauma recovery with curiosity, humour, and a grounded spiritual toolkit. Justin’s story moves from an affection‑starved childhood to addiction, jail cells, and the grind of “just functioning,” then pivots into a profound awakening he calls a bliss attack—an experience that reframed reality as a persistent illusion and taught him how to plug into source on purpose.

We dig into his book Sorcery 101 and its 13 Rungs, a practical ladder that starts with shadow work and climbs through other ways of healing. Justin breaks down the difference between instinct and intuition . Along the way, we compare DMX and Jay‑Z to reveal how similar origins can diverge wildly depending on programming, focus, and the willingness to grow.
What sets this conversation apart is the role of comedy in healing. Justin shows how laughter disarms fear, primes the nervous system for learning, and keeps heavy topics light enough to carry. We close with a meditation.
