Chakras and Shotguns — Religion & Spirituality
Chakras and Shotguns

Chakras and Shotguns is a wellness podcast hosted by Mik and Jenn, a married couple who ditched their corporate jobs to become healers. Jenn’s a former corporate lawyer, now yoga instructor, Tarot card reader and medium. Mik’s a former brand marketer, now a Reiki Master, Shaman, life coach and prepper.

And yes, we know Chakras and Shotguns sounds like an odd combo, but it’s all about balance and the duality of life! “Chakras” symbolizes your spiritual journey towards enlightenment, while “shotguns” represents your need for security and protection in this crazy world.

Get ready for some fun conversations about astrology, growing your own veggies, manifesting your dreams, solar panels, energy healing, cosmic beings, and even unlocking your psychic powers. And, of course, you’ll hear about that one time Mik and Jenn braved a powerful winter storm thanks to their prepper skills.

If you’re looking for a podcast that will help you become a more secure interdimensional being, then Chakras and Shotguns is for you.
