Today we’d like to introduce you to Nafertisit Fox De Fandiño
Hi Nafertisit, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey started approximately 13 years ago when I discovered spirituality and the spiritual community here in Texas. In my childhood, starting at the age of 4 years old, I had experienced things that I did not understand such as hearing music no one else could hear, seeing things in my mind’s eye, repeating words in my head, and constantly feeling a presence around me. No one in my family understood what was going on, therefore, could not support me with any answers. When I discovered the spiritual community here, after moving from Raleigh, North Carolina to Dallas, Texas, I was able to answer a lot of those questions and discover I’m just highly intuitive.
I have spent the last 13 years experimenting with different spiritual practices such as meditation, divination, augury, chakras, channeling, etc. to gain deeper insights on my own uniqueness. I’ve spent time reading many books as well about things such as color psychology, ancestor veneration, symbology, and more.
About 9 years ago I had made the decision to start my healing journey from my misunderstood childhood; however, I did not possess the funds to see a licensed mental healthcare professional, so I became a therapist for myself. I read books and articles on varying psychology topics, read articles on eastern spiritual practices, watched many videos through TEDx and YouTube, and really got into Carl Jung with his shadow intigration and individuation; which is the inspiration behind The Honey Badger. I took a life coaching course to better understand how to work with myself, but also how to properly work with others. I eventually attended the Institute of Metaphysical Humanistic Sciences to obtain my degree to officially open a practice for spiritual counseling. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
My personal healing journey to Self took 9 consecutive years, but when you have only yourself, it takes a bit longer. I’ve learned many things about myself, the world, spiritual beliefs, and have seen transformations in others like never before. The journey has been a blessing!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Nothing was smooth about it. When you have a lot of questions, it takes some time to gain the answers. The healing journey itself held a lot of ups and downs, learning to manage emotions that ranged from joy to pure anger to depression. Despite the chaotic flow, I experienced many things that I am now able to teach and explain to others as they start their own journey to Self.
Business was also a struggle to get off the ground, but despite navigating the rough terrain of opening a practice, it has ultimately become something beautiful that I hope to share for years to come.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Honey Badger. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
The Honey Badger was a name I felt very fitting considering the badger’s tenacity, willpower, and strength. Badgers are fierce animals known for standing their ground and finding ways out of things that make the impossible absolutely possible. They hold a sovereignty like no other and this is what I teach.
I specialize in what we now call shadow work, though the name is a bit misleading. It is properly known as shadow intigration, which is learning to intigrate the shadow archetype by exploring the unconscious mind. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, founded the archetypes and what we know about shadow intigration today. My methods are not that of Jung, but very much inspired by his shadow intigration and individuation.
I utilize varying methods like descriptive writing exercises, people watching, meditation and journaling to kickstart the jouney. You’d be surprised at what you discover about yourself, and the environments you place yourself in, when you look at things in a rather unconventional way. In fact, I have had many tell me that the world seemed brighter, they felt a deeper sense of gratitude for life, and noticed things about themselves that never occurred to them previously.
My services are Badger’s Inner Odyssey, Badger’s Wisdom and The Honey Hour, which are conducted online with the hope of in-person sometime in the future.
Badger’s Inner Odyssey consists of 5 one hour sessions that are typically held once a week. I do this to allow individuals the time necessary to complete their assignments alongside their busy schedules, and time to absorb any insight they may have gotten in the process. My personal method is designed to kickstart the journey by opening the mind and creating curiosity.
Badger’s Wisdom is a single one hour session for those who are interested in spirituality practices, and have a desire to learn about varying topics that the individual gets to choose.
The Honey Hour is for those who are on the journey to Self already, or have completed the Badger’s Inner Odyssey. I am what we call a “graduator,” where I assist you in getting to a comfortable place to explore on your own; however, a variety of things can surface that may need a little more clarity, and that is what I designed this service for.
I am hoping to publish my upcoming book on my personal method this year, or no later than 2026. This book is designed for those who may wish to start on their own, and contains many exrcises and insights to help guide the journey.
How do you think about happiness?
Seeing the transformation in those I work with. I am blessed to have gone through my own journey of life, and those who come to me tend to have a similar path. I know what it meant to me to find joy in a life that left me broken, and to see their souls light up is a life changing experience every single time. We all deserve joy, love and happiness, and if I can assist even just a few to find that on their own, I will have done my job. It brings me pure joy to witness the beautiful transformation in others, and to see them not only love life again, but to love themselves.
I will never take credit for such a transformation, but it is an absolute blessing to be a part of the journey!
