Dedicated to my dad Wally. Love you pops!

In this deeply personal bonus episode, Shumba Guru explores the powerful and often painful dynamics between fathers and sons. Through intimate reflections and spiritual insight, he uncovers how a father’s love—or lack thereof—can shape a boy’s identity, self-worth, and emotional world well into adulthood.

This episode is a heartfelt journey into grief, forgiveness, generational trauma, and ultimately, healing. If you’ve ever longed for a father's validation or struggled with emotional wounds left unspoken, this is an invitation to begin your own path toward understanding and breaking the cycle.

When I first started my spiritual journey, I never thought that my past would play a significant role. I figured spirituality was all about focusing on the present. Living in the NOW as the say. But there’s also that old saying ‘In order to know where you’re going, you need to know where you came from!”

So please join me on this Episode of How I Met My Soul, as I take a journey back to my past, to find answers.

A spiritual journey can be a very challenging one. If you can imagine that for the most part, there is no set manual or a convenient spiritual mentor/guru/shaman at hand to help guide you as you try and figure things out. And so we are exposed bare, to a world full of mystery. The question then becomes "how do I know that I'm on the right path?". The answer is out there, I'd like to believe!

How I met my SOUL Podcast is hosted by Shumba Guru, a descendant of the African Lion Clan, join him as he delves his personal spiritual experiences as well as topics that will hopefully help you to find meaning in your spiritual experiences and lead you towards your ultimate connection with your divine soul and life purpose.

We all carry some form of generational trauma and pain. But its important for you to know that you are not your trauma. The pain you’ve carried, the scars you bear - they are not the sum of who you are.

It's easy to believe that the past has the final word, but the truth is, you have always been enough.

You have always been worthy of love, compassion, and kindness, simply because you exist.

Healing begins when you realise that you’re not broken, only shaped by experiences that never had the power to define you.

You are a whole, radiant being, far greater than any hardship you've endured.
