Judd Fink-Spiritual Path Coaching

Hi, I'm Judd Fink
From as early as the age of four, I’ve felt a profound connection to the universe, receiving intuitive messages from Source and those who have passed on. These insights have been my guiding light, shaping my life and empowering me to help others on their journeys. My purpose is to guide you toward this same clarity and inner peace, so you can find the courage to step into your highest potential. We’re all meant to live joyful, fulfilled lives—not stuck in cycles of sadness, depression, or feeling lost. Healing isn’t about reliving the past; it’s about embracing your future and realizing that you are not your past.

As we move toward this alignment, it’s essential to recognize the triggers and patterns we carry from past programming. These triggers are the echoes of old beliefs, fears, and defenses that have shaped us but no longer serve who we are becoming. By identifying these triggers, we’re able to understand why they’re there, often linked to deep-seated experiences or emotional wounds. Instead of reacting or avoiding them, we can approach them with curiosity and compassion, seeing them as signposts guiding us to the parts of ourselves that need healing.

In my own journey, I’ve walked through some of life’s darkest places—addictions, infidelity, feeling utterly disconnected from myself. I numbed my pain through habits that became masks, pushing me further from who I truly was. But once I began to confront these triggers and patterns, I understood that they were rooted in unprocessed trauma and beliefs that had been ingrained in me from early on. By facing them, I started to release the grip they had on my life, choosing instead to rewrite my story on my own terms.

A crucial part of this healing was realizing that trauma lives in the body. Triggers can resurface repeatedly until we address the underlying wounds. Somatic healing became my gateway—a powerful tool to release stored trauma and break free from the conditioning that kept me feeling stuck. Through somatic breathwork, I was able to heal rapidly, moving past the need to relive pain over and over. Instead, I began to truly let go, paving the way for freedom and empowerment. This practice changed my life, and it’s why I’m so passionate about sharing it with others as a fast, effective way to heal.

In addition to somatic breathwork, I work with modalities such as Reiki, physical fitness, shadow work, shamanic trauma healing, and soul retrieval. 


I’m not just a coach or healer; I’ve lived this journey. I’ve faced my shadows, raised my vibration, and emerged stronger and more aligned. My experience and intuition allow me to hold a safe, healing space for you as you identify and work t

Speaker 1: 0:55

hi dud, welcome to the quantum alchemist master podcast. I'm very excited to have you here, welcome hi, rosalia, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1: 1:03

I'm very excited, too, about this my, my pleasure, and we were just speaking before he got on about the sign right behind him and I know it's not typical to start the podcast um speaking about that, but it really caught my attention about the wonderful synchronicities and miracles we get to experience every single day in our lives If we really become hyper aware of how everything is interconnected. Would you mind, before, before you go into your story and your hero's journey, to tell us about that real quick?

Speaker 2: 1:37

yeah, so these signs I? I just ended up. I started doing the coaching stuff, you know, and then one of the dudes that I grew up with and he ends up owning the machine shop. They make all of the signs around town here. You know bloomington normal area and you know the breweries, law offices, you know really nice signs and that and um, he supported what I was doing and he's just like hey, let me make your signs for you stuff for your podcast, and we hadn't talked and it had been, I mean, years since we talked to you, you know, and uh, should cost a lot more than I paid for, you know a lot.

Speaker 1: 2:22

The reason I bring light to that is because it has to do with everything else that we do in life. But this is a beautiful example of that. When we make the decision to take that first step whether there's uncertainty, there's fear, we don't have the resources at that time first step whether there's uncertainty, there's fear, we don't have the resources at that time, somehow something greater than ourselves starts to provide and the bridge begins to appear as you take the step, even if it feels like you're fucking up all the time yeah, it's true.

Speaker 1: 2:55

So I just wanted to bring light to that and thank, thank you for sharing that story. The floor is all yours because, as the listeners might have noticed, we have changed our ways of doing the podcast. It's no longer long form. We've kind of kept it on the short form of that. We've kind of kept it on the short form of that. But in exchange, we have provided you now with free access to master classes that you can access, especially if you can't afford coaching, If you just can't invest in it right now and just want to learn first and then jump the gun on whatever coach resonates with you. That's cool too. You have them there available to you and it's going to serve you in some way. So take the floor.

Speaker 2: 3:40

All right. So I was a mechanic for 20 years before I started doing this and I wasn't passionate about it. It was just something that I did, you know, something that I really didn't care about, but I learned it to make a paycheck, right. And then I realized I just wasn't fulfilled in life. I was going through a divorce, all this stuff, everything was changing in my life. So then it was just like okay, got the opportunity to do literally whatever I want at this point, you know, without anybody saying anything, or really me giving a shit about what anyone else is saying, you know, because I've got no one to answer to at that point, right. And so, going back, though, I remember you know a ton of anxiety throughout that, right.

Speaker 2: 4:36

But then all these supportive signs and synchronicities literally everywhere all around me. You know stuff that you can't explain. You know numbers coming out of nowhere, people that you meet, you know um guides, like getting it more and more into meditations and breath work and doing all that stuff, and you, just you easily connect. The better that you take care, even though you're going through a whole bunch of shit, you know, like the better that you take care of yourself physically and mentally, like it makes you grow spiritually. It's much easier, much, much easier to connect then and pay attention. You know and acknowledge what's actually going on and and feeling these energies about. You know what I mean and uh, so then it made it easier for me to let go and just move forward with what I wanted to do. You know, even though I was shit, I'll be honest like I'm still scared, but it's like I know what I'm talking about. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 5:41

It's just like you know, you just it's just what it is.

Speaker 1: 5:44

It's overcoming the fears all the time and just going right, let me let me pause there, if that's okay with you, to kind of um peel the onion back a little bit, because if not I will completely lose my train of thought. I'll never get it back. A lot of the times people think this healing process, awakening process, it's a one-time wonderful spiritual or paranormal event that you go through and that you're enlightened in some sort of like exempt from emotions or catastrophe or challenges like this. I can't even pronounce that like romanticizing or whatever the idea of of that awakening process. And, oh man, if anything, your ear, you feel all of it more. I feel you're more aware of everything and the ripple effects All of that stuff has not only on you but on other people, and you, pretty much, are confronted with the fact, I would say, that you have to take responsibility for your own shit, basically.

Speaker 1: 6:54

So I love that you're transparent and open and not just completely woo woo and like, oh, my life is perfect, I got it all figured out. Like shit, I still haven't figured shit out. Like every single day I wake up and I try to do the best I can and try to go with with whatever comes at me that day and try to do my best you know with the tools that I have. Right With what I've learned, but thank you for being raw and open about it and and your process. I appreciate that because that's what I really want to share with people. I want to be open and truthful as to all the shit that we all go through as as a humanity. We are all going through it together.

Speaker 2: 7:38

Yeah, absolutely, and it's hearing people's stories, the real ones, and stuff, you know the people being vulnerable that actually helps other people, because you know my story could help whomever, whomever hears it, whomever, whomever it resonates with. You know, and I'm not saying like my life was worse than anyone else's or anything like that, it's my own experience, right, and but if it can't help, then it will right. So can you tell me a?

Speaker 2: 8:08

little bit about your like, maybe childhood or growing up, or if you've been confronted with addiction or anything like that, like um that you kind of want to share, to kind of give us um an idea of yeah absolutely so I grew up and when I was a kid, my first memory of my father is actually him on top of my mother, choking her and um, I didn't remember that memory until probably six years ago or something. And then the second memory of him is like him getting the belt and stuff and I'm. He left when I was three or four to like never saw him again after that too, you know so. And then my mom's just trying to be, you know, not abused and be secure in herself.

Speaker 2: 9:10

So, like I had that anxiety, you know, growing up, growing up, and then my mom was not home often because she's out working this job, that job, you know, trying to find a man to support her as well. And so I observed a lot of that stuff. You know, this dude, that dude, whatever, you know what I mean. And like I was over at my grandparents' house quite often, or I was home with my brother and we were by ourselves and we're just kids, you know and a lot of raising of ourselves happened Right Like um, but it wasn't the worst thing ever. You learn how to. You know make some food, make a sandwich, you know, do what you need to do to figure stuff out.

Speaker 2: 10:03

But anyhow, eventually my mom ended up meeting my stepfather and he's a major in the army, you know going through his own divorce at this time, you know, going through his own divorce at this time and you know very strict, is frustrated because he's going through his own shit and everything, and so and he's got two young kids of his own right and actually a daughter who wasn't even one yet, you know, when she came into our lives. But um, he came in, you know, wanted to change everything right, like not.

Speaker 2: 10:49

We were pretty wild, I would say. I mean, I wouldn't even say I was wild, just being a kid. You know what I mean, not doing anything malicious or whatever in my mind. But what ended up happening within six months of knowing him and like how? You know, he was terrifying. You know Um, he picked us up and moved us from you know everything that we knew, an hour plus away, and you know it did give us more opportunities for sure, from where we did live, you know. But anyways, I was, you know, straight A's prior to that. Then we moved.

Speaker 2: 11:30

I'm getting C's, d's and F's. I'm terrified to be at home, like I'm, you know. And then, because you're getting C's, d's and f's, I'm terrified to be at home, like I'm, you know. And then, because you're getting c's, d's and f's and he is who he is, like it's not good enough. And then I have a brother who's, like you know, genius level, you know, college level, classes in high school, smart as well.

Speaker 2: 11:47

So anyways, you know throughout that it's basically being, you know being, you know, mentally abused, physically abused, all that stuff isolated for literally months in my room at times, you know. You just, you're just programmed to tell yourself that you're not worthy of love or love or you know all of that. You know not worthy of many, many things, right and um. So what you do is you, you know, you search all over the place for it and you numb and you do all that. And when I was so I knew one of the things like to get approval. Like no one in my family is athletic whatsoever but I knew to get approval from him like it was through that because he was all about sports and everything. So like that was my main focus and it really like sell that it because my mind is already going a thousand miles an hour, you know, but that stuff it I can keep, I can keep up with all that. You know what I mean like.

Speaker 1: 12:56

What sports did you used to play?

Speaker 2: 12:58

football, baseball, basketball, yeah, I ran track, oh, you know, and and yeah, but even through that, like I realized too, like'm not, yeah, it's healthy for me to do that stuff, but I'm not even doing it for me, you know, I'm doing it to like kind of stay safe, if that makes sense, you know. And then, throughout this entire time, you know when I started selling, I started using drugs, um, when I was 13, I want to say something like that. And then I was 14, the first time I did LSD. I mean you know what I mean. So it's like. And then I sold from, you know, 15 till I was 24.

Speaker 2: 13:47

And then you know, alcohol, drugs, the entire time. You know I was with the same drugs the entire time. You know I was with the same since I was 17,. I was with the same girl for 19 years after that, okay, but then even throughout that, like I'm still battling all my shit. You know what I mean Still racing a thousand miles an hour, still numbing all the time, still doing all that Right, and and it's because, like I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I was so unaware, you know, and you know I've talked, did talk to therapists. You know as an adult. I never had the opportunity when I was a kid, which would have been like a lot better, but it just wasn't the case. You know and yeah, you can. You know, you can hear something a thousand times until it clicks, until you realize it right.

Speaker 1: 14:41

We pause there for a moment yeah yeah yeah I literally was just recording a course and I just the last module before I got on here. I just repeated that exact same sentence because it has happened to me over and, over and over again and I could be hearing the same thing for the past 10 years. But I have a conversation with you right now.

Speaker 1: 15:13

It's like boom yep I know what that means now yeah, and even, and even then, you have the awareness that there's layers and depth, and and you could revisit that same concept and just gain a brand new understanding yeah, absolutely sorry to no, it's totally fine, really wanted to make a point of that, because it's no coincidence that it came up twice today.

Speaker 2: 15:42

Yeah, right, right yeah, nothing is a coincidence at all. Um, but then where was I? So, yeah, with with the same woman, you know, for 19 years. But even throughout that, like our marriage, you know, started to go to shit and I didn't know how to communicate because I I was like had my voice taken away as a kid, you know. And so you know she's trying to communicate, you know, because, I mean, it's proven that women are actually smarter than men they have you might get some fire for that it's actually, it's a thing you know, but, like um, she's trying to communicate.

Speaker 2: 16:28

I don't know how I'm shutting down. I'm getting lit up. All you know what I mean drunk and stuff just numbing until it came to the point of, like you know, I'm going to lose my family, you know. And then I was just like okay like I don't want that, so I'm going to quit. And I did, you know, just immediately, didn't need any rehab or whatever. You know just knew I didn't want to lose that.

Speaker 2: 16:57

But, like even after I did that, I think that there was like a caretaker aspect from her. Once I, once she didn't need to be my caretaker, then like it, we even got more separated. Does that make sense?

Speaker 1: 17:09

100%. It makes sense yeah.

Speaker 2: 17:11

And, um, so yeah, then I like was seeking outside of the marriage and I successfully did numerous times and all this stuff. Once again didn't know how to communicate. So I'm wearing all these masks that I've made right throughout my life and and they were out of necessity, you know, but you just go through your life, you don't know what the fuck you're doing or anything, and I'm always in, you know, survival mode and panicked and anxiety all the time, and I had no idea what life was like, not living in anxiety. I had no clue, you know. Um, but now, learning all the stuff that I've learned, I mean I'm so thankful that I know.

Speaker 2: 18:09

You know the, the tools to get through the, to calm your body. You know the somatic work, all the stuff like and be able to teach it. It's, you know, too little. Allow people to live, you know, fulfilled lives, the lives that they want to live, and literally like and because my whole thing too, like I said, I didn't have a voice right, so that was a huge thing to overcome, period, and even saying what I needed to say like, okay, so, selling drugs, like yeah, it was fucking asshole a lot of people, but like I found myself, you know with females, like treating them like, even when they would do stupid shit. You know what I mean. Like like oh, it's okay. Oh, it's okay.

Speaker 2: 18:55

Like no, it's not okay like I need to say you know what I mean. And then like so that's what it was like in the relationships following my divorce. You know what I mean. And but then I then I realized, you know, hey, I'm the one attracting this stuff, you, you know, like it's me. Okay, I had this knowledge. Now, right Now, it's my job to fix.

Speaker 2: 19:19

Okay, like I need to be the caretaker I need to fix you, like, so what is it inside of me that that's that's attracting this? Right? Right, well, it was my need to be needed, you know, and instead of loving myself, instead of needing myself. And you know, because, even knowing this stuff, like I said, you can say it a thousand times, you can even teach this. You know what I mean, until, and and you might not even know fully what it means, right, but you know all the right words and everything and you understand how it all works and everything. But until, like, you realize inside of yourself, you know, not that it's not valuable, because it certainly is, but it's more valuable, you know, and more authentic when you actually you know, realize inside of yourself right so let's talk about authenticity and confidence, because I feel is that okay?

Speaker 1: 20:33

yeah, yeah, absolutely I feel like a lot of us, um were, we were taking our voice away in some sense or another. During childhood, a lot of us, um had a fear of being seen, being heard. Um, and a lot of us, whether it was through whatever circumstance, our confidence was shattered.

Speaker 2: 21:02

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:03

Right. So I believe that this low self-worth and lack of authenticity to name it something is something that, as a collective humanity to name it something is something that, as a collective humanity, we have the opportunity, once you start doing the work, to re-sit with that, re-look at that and embody your true essence and your true authenticity, which has always been there. But, like you said, so many masks and so many things have obscured that pureness of that essence. So for a long time I was looking to become that future version of me, that empowered goddess version of me outside of me, and it never worked because it was out there, right, um?

Speaker 1: 22:05

And once you tap into the core of who you are, you become completely unshakable. You become so grounded. You know yourself at such a deep level because you've sat with your darkness, with your light, with a shadow. You've explored yourself, your wounds. You're not running anymore. You're not numbing anymore. You're not bypassing anymore. You're sitting with all of it. You're exploring. You're not numbing anymore, you're not bypassing anymore. You're sitting with all of it. You're exploring, you're doing introspection, you're breaking it down and there comes a point where you become who you've always been. If it doesn't make any sense, just forget it because Spanish is my first language, but you've always been that powerful, being, authentic, being. It's like if you had mud covering you and you're just like peeling all the stuff and you're allowing your light right to shine out of your heart and your voice to be heard. Um, and I feel, as a collective, a lot of us are going through that right now and it's a process you know until my last breath that I am remembering who the fuck I am.

Speaker 2: 23:27

Yes, yeah, that's exactly right. It's just remembering how powerful you actually are, you know yeah, but not from an ego standpoint.

Speaker 1: 23:37

No right is. This is just reclaiming your sovereignty, your birthright. Like you're, you know what I mean I do um know you do, I know that, you know that, I know that we know that you do, yeah, so have you had issues with that, with authenticity, confidence, kind of like?

Speaker 2: 24:00

Oh shit, Let me tell you about that so go for it, absolutely so there is.

Speaker 2: 24:06

So, you know, the awakening process never really stops. You're just constantly learning more and you're only awakening to yourself the entire time, you know. And so I'm going through this awake, you know the divorce, all that stuff, and then you know that's it takes a long time to get over that, first of all, right, and, and so I'm learning all these spiritual teachings, like I mean, I'm in it, you know, like the stuff, and I'm like the. The one who resonated, resonated with me the most, was wayne dyer, okay, and so I mean I read all the books, listened to all the, you know videos on YouTube, all the stuff, and I'm just like man, he seems so peaceful, like that's how I have to be and, like I said before, you know the relationships that I was in and stuff like, oh, it's okay, and I don't understand. Yeah, I understand, but like you can also say, like, be assertive. Being assertive is okay, you know you don't have to be an asshole, but you can be assertive and you can still understand why they're doing what they're doing or whatever you know. But you can also have boundaries, right, and I didn't have them in many cases, you know.

Speaker 2: 25:26

And so and here I am, you know the imposter syndrome thing too, and I'm like, oh, like I'm going through this in my own life, so how the hell can I teach this? You know, like I'm I'm like kind of doing the opposite of what I'm teaching, so, like, does that make it less authentic? Whatever it's like no, it doesn't. You know, like we all struggle, we all go through things, you know. Even you know Wayne Dyer himself had been divorced twice and all the stuff I mean it's like you know can we pause?

Speaker 1: 25:58

there is that yeah, okay, yeah so I'm currently. It has to do with what you said.

Speaker 1: 26:04

Don't worry, I'm not gonna yeah yeah, necessarily make it about me, but I have to give the example. So I am working with a sponsor to work over a food addiction because I have tried to lose weight since 2020. I never had an issue with weight until 2020 and then everything shifted for me and then I just had issues with that and I tried many times to change my habits with food and my relationship to with food and I just haven't been able to. And he is a very, very special friend, dan um, and he helps people with any kind of addiction, um, but he had never helped anyone with food addiction and we're still doing the 12-step process like alcoholic anonymous process.

Speaker 2: 26:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:56

And in the book, one of the beautiful thing is that the person that a lot of people felt that helped them the most was another alcoholic. Most was another alcoholic. So you're trying to teach the stuff but a lot of the times you see yourself yourself reflected in the teacher and you see the teachers reflected on the student. Right, we are walking the path together. You know, it's like you walk through the fire. It doesn't mean you're exempt from walking to the next fire, it's just one of them, one of the infinite fires. It's like man, I already walked through that one.

Speaker 1: 27:38

If you want, you know, I could lend you a hand, I could walk with you, and a lot of the times that accountability and that relationship that is built with someone that is going through divorce, for example I mean you're coaching for someone that's going through the wars right now it's like gold. Like you know, I'm in it with you. We're we're getting through this together, um. So thank you for bringing that up in regards to coaching, because a lot of that's real coaching in my opinion you know, standing up at a pedestal saying you're a guru, your life is perfect, you have it all figured out.

Speaker 1: 28:20

Come learn from me. Bullshit, I'm so sick of it. Right, I respect your knowledge, all of that stuff, because we all have a lot of beautiful things to share with the world, but no one could tell you how to live your life or what you need to do, when you need to do it, how you need to do it. Better than you, better than your soul, better than the information that is within you, there is no coach that can tell you that. Right, we can give you tons of resources and many things that can help you in the journey. You've helped me. I have helped you in other ways I feel, like it has been reciprocal yes

Speaker 2: 29:00

um, but ultimately it comes down to us we are our own best guides all the time you know yeah it's just okay to ask for help and it's okay to ask for support, but yeah, yep, it's.

Speaker 2: 29:20

And that's the hardest. Like you know, going through this process, right in any process, that is difficult, like life, life changing stuff, where you know you need to make some changes. You know, um, because the same shit keeps happening over and over again, because nothing's, you're not doing anything, you know to change. So the hardest thing to do is like look in the mirror and own your shit. You know, like what did I do? You know what I mean. And then, like once you do that, like you're very honest with yourself and you're very honest with whomever was affected by it. You know, like it's very easy to release and then, and then it's easy to recognize stuff even coming, you know, in the future, like you can hey, I've done this before, I can do this again like Like I'm not perfect, I'm not expecting to be perfect but like I can, I can openly talk about this stuff and own my stuff and, you know, realize how that's affecting other people as well and talk to them about it. You know 100%.

Speaker 1: 30:21

I love the way you put it. Tell me a little bit about what you do now, uh, how you help people like what, what your coaching looks like, whatever you want to share, and how people could find you also.

Speaker 2: 30:32

Yeah, so my coaching is really staying in alignment. You know alignment coaching and it's just recognizing these things with inside of yourself. You know that's what it is. It's always about how you feel. You know that's what it is. It's always about how you feel.

Speaker 1: 30:53

You know, don't do shit you don't want to do. You know Sounds simple, but not so simple, I know.

Speaker 2: 30:58

I know, right, and that is actually you stepping into your authentic self as well, staying in alignment. Right, because when we're not authentic, that's when all this other shit happens Right, where we allow this stuff to occur. When we're not authentic, that's when all this other shit happens right, where we allow this stuff to occur, but we're not even conscious of it very often, you know, and it's this balance with inside of ourselves, you know, when we fill our own cup and we're fulfilled on our own, that is when we can truly give to the other people. That's when it's real, you know, and it's not from a place of lack or codependency or whatever. You know, it is, but it's. It's. That is what I do. I help people fully realize themselves, you know.

Speaker 1: 31:47

Yes, that's wonderful, and we it's easier if we do it together. It's harder than we do it alone. I know it kind of almost feels like I contradict the go within versus the seeking for help, but it actually goes hand in hand. Um, because you seek for help, you go within. You seek for help, you go within. You seek for help, you go within. Right, it's, it's a an ebb and flow. It's it's a constant expansion. Um, right, so we're going to do, if you're open to it, um, the part two of this interview, um, as a, as a free masterclass. So, guys, if you want to get in touch with, and how can they get in touch with?
