Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tamisha Stuckey. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Tamisha, appreciate you joining us today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.

Starting my own practice was deeply personal—it wasn’t just about creating a business- in a way it still isn’t, but about fully stepping into my purpose. I knew that shadow work, mindfulness, and spiritual connection were powerful tools for healing, and I wanted to create a space where others could explore these practices in an authentic way. The first steps were committing to my own healing, deepening my knowledge, and trusting that my lived experiences would guide me in supporting others.

One of the biggest challenges was unlearning the need for external validation and fully trusting my intuition. There were moments of self-doubt, resistance, and deep transformation. If I could do anything differently, I would have given myself more time to integrate my lessons before trying to share them.

For anyone looking to start their own spiritual practice—begin with yourself. Do the work(and if you don’t know that that is, listen to yourself), embody the teachings, and allow your journey to be the foundation of what you offer. Authenticity is magnetic, and when you lead from a place of truth, the right people will find you.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

After taking a much needed break from curating events, The Silent Hike Club started as a personal practice—something I did for myself to find clarity, peace, and connection with nature. I had no intention of offering it as a service; it was simply a way for me to process my thoughts, embrace stillness, and create space for my own healing.

Over time, I realized how powerful the experience was and how much others could benefit from it. As I shared my practice, people began expressing interest, wanting to experience the same sense of grounding and introspection. That’s when it organically evolved into something bigger—a space for collective reflection, mindfulness, and healing.

Now, the Silent Hike Club is an invitation for others to step away from the noise of everyday life, embrace the beauty of silence, and reconnect with themselves in nature. It’s a practice rooted in presence, offering a rare opportunity to simply be.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

One of the most defining moments of resilience in my journey was when I found myself having to rebuild my life after a period of deep personal and emotional upheaval. I had poured so much of myself into helping others—through my spiritual work, event planning, and creative pursuits—but I reached a point where I had to turn that same energy inward.

During this time, I leaned heavily on my personal spiritual practices, especially shadow work, silent hikes, and mindfulness. These practices forced me to sit with my discomfort, process my emotions, and ultimately transform my pain into purpose. Instead of allowing the weight of my circumstances to break me, I used them as fuel to create safe spaces for healing, not just for myself but for others who needed the same kind of support.

One of the most beautiful things that came from this period was the Silent Hike Club. What started as a personal practice of walking in nature to clear my mind became a shared experience that others were drawn to—proof that our healing journeys often create ripples beyond what we can imagine.

This journey reinforced my belief in the power of stillness, authenticity, and community. No matter how heavy life gets, there is always an opportunity to transmute pain into something meaningful. Resilience, for me, isn’t about pushing through at all costs—it’s about surrendering to the process, trusting myself, and allowing healing to unfold in its own time.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn was the idea that my worth was tied to my productivity and how much I could do for others. For so long, I operated under the belief that being of service—whether through my spiritual work, event planning, or creative pursuits—meant constantly pouring into others, often at the expense of myself. I thought that if I wasn’t actively helping, fixing, or showing up for people, then I wasn’t valuable.

The breaking point came when I found myself completely drained, emotionally and physically. I was overextended, taking on too much, and ignoring my own needs. I kept telling myself I was fine because I was “doing good work,” but deep down, I was running on empty. Eventually, my body and spirit forced me to slow down. I had to sit with the discomfort of stillness, of not constantly “proving” my worth through action.

Through shadow work and mindfulness, I unlearned this toxic pattern. I realized that my value isn’t determined by how much I do for others—it exists simply because I am. Rest, joy, and self-nurturing are just as important as service. Now, I move with more balance. I set boundaries, I honor my own needs first, and I remind myself that being is just as powerful as doing.
