Curious Mystics
Welcome to Curious Mystics — a podcast where wonder meets wisdom. Hosted by Aericka Khongdy, APRN, Shamanic Practitioner, Transformation Mentor. I dive into the mysteries of the unseen world, metaphysical practices, and the deeper layers of human experience.
I'm not here to claim all the answers — I'm here to stay curious, to learn alongside you, and to celebrate the magic that lives in the questions themselves. Whether you're a seasoned seeker or simply feeling the first pull toward the unknown, Curious Mystics invites you into an authentic, soulful space where exploration is sacred, and discovery is a way of life.
Join me as we walk the winding path of the curious mystic — one conversation at a time.
