Thundermaker Recovery Media & Controlled Fire Podcast

Thundermaker Media: Here is a collection of Thundermaker media, where you’ll find an introduction to who we are, our story, our mission, and a range of entertainment shorts and full‑length videos, and the reminder that laughter is medicine!

Controlled Fire Podcast: is about reclaiming Indigenous masculinity as a sacred, balanced force—one that protects, heals, and uplifts communities. It emphasizes that recovery is not just personal, but collective, and that healing must involve men stepping back into their roles as protectors, mentors, and spiritual leaders.

    when non-native/light skinned people are afraid of buying Native products

    Check out thundermakerwellness.com/shop to support an indigenous recovery center! And know that purchase made is funding that go towards healing our indigenous community through indigenous culture. 🪶 (Btw- he is native!)
