Many people hear about me and my work on podcasts or online and tell me how much they love what I do and how important they think it is...even through they’ve never really experienced my work. It's an interesting experience for me over the years.

I’ve had to get over my annoyed reaction to these kinds of interactions and remind myself that my purpose here is only to keep growing and walking my own path in life, and to inspire others to do the same by sharing what I know and and live.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, fear about sharing your unique magic, or annoyance for getting more "appreciation" than clients, this episode is for you.

I’ll also debunk THE MOST COMMON MYTHS about Ancestral Healing.

1. There’s only one way to do ancestral healing work.
2. Once a victim, always a victim.
3. You don’t need to look back in order to move forward.
4. Ancestral healing is just mediumship.

I’ll go into detail about what you can do to identify your ancestral wounds in order to move forward in your life and freedom.

Hey, hey, hey everyone.

Welcome back to the podcast.

I am, um, trying to get comfortable in my little hammock chair.

Yeah, that's a chair.

And once you get settled, So comfy, I could hang out here all day.

But getting into it, it's one of those things where your fingers are

like going through the netting and like, you know, the laptop is like

sliding around and I'm like, oh no.

Well this work, I want it to work, but it's working.

So I'm settled.

and today's episode is so overdue.

I can't believe I haven't actually recorded this yet in

any of the previous seasons.

Maybe I was gonna get to it in season two, but, it feels so right and so

necessary to have this episode so that I can actually send it to people over

and over and over again because it's one of questions I get asked all the

time, or rather experience something that I experience often in my work,

where it's quite simply misunderstood, which a lot of us walk with a wound

of fear, a resistance to being misunderstood, and I am no different.

It's something that's actually for me, very much so, a past life experience

that I look to fully metabolize out of my system in this lifetime,

and that's a work in progress.

It's coming along very well, let me tell you, , but it has

been a work in progress and so.

being able to have this one episode to refer back to and to share with

y'all over and over and over again.

Those who are listening, those who will find this in the future, is gonna be

wildly beneficial for all of us who are called to this ancestral healing path.

Or even just exploring ancestral healing as a modality and as a

lifestyle away of being that supports you in creating a life legacy.

and contributing to your lineage in a way that you love.

And what's so interesting is it's actually, I believe, I haven't fully read

all the astrology, but I took a quick glimpse this morning as I was checking,

you know, the socials and things.

I think today, mercury has entered Pisces.

Which the date that I'm actually recording, this is March 2nd, I

believe today is the second, and I do have a special episode coming up

that I still need to record because of those of you who are listening,

you might have known I just had a birthday and there's some reflections

I want to share with y'all, but.

Back to this.

I do believe that Mercury just went into Pisces.

As you may or may not know, I'm a triple Pisces, but what I know you do not

know because I don't talk about it very often, is that not only am I a triple

Pisces, but my Mercury is in Pisces.

This is the reason why I communicate off of energy.

It's the reason why I have such a creative approach to communications

in addition to actually having diplomats and communicators.

As ancestors in my lineage.

And it's the reason why, um, my communications really are something

you need to open up to receiving and feeling as a transmission, as opposed

to words like, oftentimes I'll create my own meaning forward word, even though

I know by definition that's not, it's actual at etiological sentiment or like

what it, what it, the definition of it.

There we go.

Just say it that way.

. Um.

, but in the way that I use the words and the way that I put them together

and the energy that I deliver them, it completely works, right?

Mm-hmm.

. So a lot of times when, um, mercury is in Pisces or in other, you know, signs,

but in Pisces in particular, they talk a lot about not explaining yourself and,

um, finding other ways of communicating.

Because Pisces is such a spiritual etheric, you know, you can't grab it.

It's fluid.

Oftentimes we will feel like we can't find the right words to

say what we're trying to say.

I have that all the time, but it actually makes my communications more effective

and more connective, simply because I was actually born in a time where

Mercury was in retrograde in Pisces.

So I find it to be a very.

Open communication, like very effective.

Like there's a billion different ways I can say the same thing, and it will

reach your heart, your soul, your mind, your spirit and penetrate into creating

something amazing in your life and world.

So I really love that this is happening.

I did not plan for it, but per usual, I'm always living in

alignment with the stars, just.

And so, writing down some episode notes was so easy for me.

It felt amazing.

So how about we get right into it, right?

Okay.

Um, first thing is the meme that comes to mind.

, there is a meme and you probably have seen it, and people, obviously,

that's what memes are like.

They create their own versions of it over and over and over again to articulate

whatever they're trying to articulate.

I love looking at memes.

I like to chuckle at memes.

I am not a meme creator.

I'm not really a meme sharer.

It's just something that I.

Enjoy on my own, like casually.

But there is a meme that has been floating around for quite some time that

talks about like, we are not the same.

And a lot of people use this with dating.

Like you're in their dms.

I'm the person that they dream about.

We are not the same.

Da, da, da, da, da.

Anyway, that meme actually comes to mind as it relates to how I

feel about ancestral healing.

There are so many people who hear about ancestral healing now and

then when they meet me or they hear about me on a podcast or

however we cross paths, they start to express how they feel about my

work and how they appreciate my work and how amazing my work is.

And, you know, , it's, they're so grateful that I'm out here doing

this kind of work, but they've also never actually experienced my work.

They just think they know what this is , or even worse, they start to describe

what they think my work is to me.

And I'm like, that's not what I do at all.

And so that meme of like all ancestral healing is not the same.

You're over here trying to just connect with your grandma and light a candle.

Or just appreciate where you come from in general, where I'm over here

helping you completely repa, reprogram your life, have an impact on your

legacy that ripples forwards and backwards with them, like directly

with them in a relationship with them.

It's a completely different experience.

And for a while I used to get so annoyed again, that whole misunderstanding.

Ice get so annoyed y'all.

I would just be like, oh my God.

Now I have to sit here and like either listen to this projection and

just nod my head and let it fly.

Or I have to take the time to like break this down and explain it to a person

who may or may not be open to it, which.

Honestly, nine times outta 10 when someone says that they appreciate my

work without ever really immersing themselves into my world or listening

to the podcast, or reading my emails or coming to a workshop, it is a projection.

Like they're not quite ready.

They're curious.

They're getting in the neighborhood, but they're not

necessarily ready to walk into.

The room.

And if this is you right now, I'm glad that you're here because listening to this

episode and all the other episodes of my podcast and even the ones that are coming

forward, if you stick around, will start to teach you and we'll start to bring

you into the nuance and the complexity, but also the simplicity of the work that

I do, cuz I have yet to meet someone who knows how to navigate the energetics

of the past, present, and future.

Within someone's life while seeing the results and the embodiment of it in a

way that ripples through and brings them lots of more ease and joy and purpose

and power and authority and all these other outcomes of doing this work.

So, okay, I wanna like get into it cuz otherwise I'll be

like explaining things forever.

A little bit of that mercury and pacey thing going on.

But it feels really good to take my time and like outline

all the things that I know.

Um, I've experienced and that some of you have questions about that

can support you as you step into your ancestral healing journey.

Now I will say I may have been being and maybe being a sensitive Sally , but

it is a little bit of a sting when you're like, I love your work, but

you haven't experienced it or you think that you've experienced it.

But I will say that I remind myself over and over and over again that my

ultimate job here is only twofold, and that is one, to keep growing

and walking my own path in life.

And two, keep inspiring other people to do the.

Honestly, I do both of those by simply being me.

So if it means that I have to put out, you know, a hundred thousand episodes of

a podcast before people really understand, or feel inspired to go deeper in their

ancestral healing journey, then so be it.

Like I'm being myself, I'm carrying my medicine, I'm walking, I'm sharing,

and quite frankly, it's not even work.

It's quite useful to be able to share such a unique and organic message to the world

that's helping us transform our lives.

Like I consider it to be an honor, a heavy honor at times, but it's still

an honor, and that's being real.

But I have a few stories to share with you.

So, when I was in Portugal, some of you know, I went on a six month sabbatical

in my business and I was really working on my first book and let the book

outline and the book proposal process.

And one of my stops was, um, Portugal, which I had never been before.

And I really, really, really wanted to go and I deeply enjoyed my time there.

so while I was in Cent.

, which is this magical little town.

there was a woman that I met, she was in, in the town just for like a day or two

and we ended up being on the same tour.

But she was in town for like a yoga and astrology retreat.

And it's so interesting because she was at the beginning of her spiritual

and personal development slash awakening journey and started telling

me a bit about her story and like who she is and why she feels inspired.

And so I just normally let people share with me and.

, I will if invited, if it feels good, or if they turn the attention to me and ask

me, you know, you know, what do you do?

What do you, why are you here?

And I'm like, oh, I'm a writer.

I'm a spiritual life coach.

I'm a muse, I'm a guy, whatever.

And I do ancestral healing work.

And so she did.

And as I started to say what I do and why I do it, and how it looks and how

long I've been doing it, she was like, oh yeah, I, I do ancestral healing work too.

I do it in ayahuasca ceremonies.

And I was like, That's so cute.

Like I know that, and that's not to be.

Patronizing, right.

But like, I remember the experience of opening up to ancestral healing

and really remembering being at the beginning of my remembering and ownership

of what I knew about ancestors in the spirit realm and how they impact me

through ayahuasca and plant medicine.

Like it is usually like . It's funny to say it this way, the gateway drug

of like conjure and ancestor work is, is an entity, a spirit, an ancestor,

a guide, an angel visiting you?

Elemental spirits visiting you while you're under the beautiful

plant's, guidance and healing.

Cuz grandmother plant is very, very wise and is a great connector.

She will always bring in the spirits and energies that you need

to support you in the journey.

That's the whole point of taking the um medicine in right, is to

purge open up, clear, fast, forward.

Shift timeline, so on and so forth.

However, it's often the beginning because of what I've noticed a lot of times is

in that particular awakening journey.

Um, a lot of people have a hard time embodying the medicine and the wisdom and

the healing that happens in the journey.

And this is not a knock on plant medicine at all y'all.

, um, or it's just, and, or it's one ancestor or guide who's come forward

telling you something about yourself, but it doesn't include all the other

ancestors, all the other energetics, all the other conditioning, all

the other programs that are playing out inside of you because of them.

like all of the ancestors have a role in supporting you and being the woman

or the human or the person that you're called to be in this lifetime as you take

ownership and authority of your role.

Like there's a relationship between the two.

So misconception number one about ancestral healing I get all the time

is someone thinking that she's already done ancestral healing work before

because they've already connect.

Or she's already connected with ancestors, oftentimes through plant medicine,

oftentimes through Kundalini awakening journeys, oftentimes through hypnotherapy

or reiki session or energy healing, or even a tarot card reading, you know,

where they're like a medium is, uh, also a reader or a tarot card reader, and they're

like, Hey, such and such is coming through and they're telling you about this, like,

The misconception of I'm already doing ancestral healing in the way that you

do at Ash because of this experience, as opposed to, Ooh, I've had this experience.

What do you know and what are you talking about?

Ancestral healing.

Do I feel called to your method as a form of deepening and expanding

and supporting me as I heal these ancestral and generational wounds.

Step into ancestral gifts and power.

Step into embodying my greatest, most empowered self.

Mastered self, right?

More of the second is what I'm calling into the community and into this work.

Less of the first of like . Oh yeah, I'm already doing that.

You know what I.

and I love it.

I get why we do that.

Like we're often as humans looking for what do I already know, what is similar

to where I am in life that I can, um, relate to and connect with and make me

feel safe as opposed to looking for the new information, the new opportunity,

the new, or rather the gap that needs to be filled and can be filled by this

person such as myself that you're meeting.

Right?

So misconception number one.

There are many different ways to do ancestral.

If you have had an experience with ancestors or guide or someone who

is from your lineage or claims to be from their lineage, that is awesome

and there is more and more that'll be incredibly beneficial and supportive

to you in your life and in your calling

another misconception I wanna bring up is this victimhood thing, and this

one's really, really, really good to me.

it's one of the reasons why I actually do the work, because all of us, regardless

to how you identify, Has some form of a victim wound, a victimhood wound.

And that is because there are things that have happened to us in our own live life.

There are injustices that have happened to our ancestors or in the past and

all kinds of things, injustices to the land and the land that we live on.

You know what I mean?

And so when wrong things happen or hurtful things happen and it's not metabolized out

of the system, and you feel that there's an injustice that's been done that has

not been made right when you were wrong.

That energy will stay in.

energy body and we share our energy body with our ancestors and they

share their energy body with us.

So, I kind of noticed this not only with my clients and not only

with myself, like moments where I felt I was in victimhood and I

definitely was, it was being on like.

All these high vibe podcasts, like everyone that's like raise your

frequency and like receive what you want and manifest, manifest, manifest.

Like I was on a couple of those podcasts and the host would be all about what I was

talking about and what I was sharing as it relates to whole lineage healing and

doing ancestral healing in my method until I started talking about the nuance and the

intricacies of the work and how it's far more than connecting with your grandma.

Or just doing ancestral reverence in your life.

And like when I started kind of breaking down this parsing through experience

and like being able to see the wounds of the past and how they affect you

now, they always kind of like tried to call me out and be like, oh, it

feels like an energy of victimhood.

You know, like blaming other people for who you are.

And I was like, that's like the hugest misconception.

Is hugest a word?

I feel like it is biggest hugest, ginormous, . Largest ever

misconception of ancestral healing.

is that you're being a victim to your lineage or a victim to your family

or a victim to your circumstances.

It's not that at all.

In fact, staying unconscious, staying in an unconscious relationship with

your ancestors and your lineage and what you've inherited from the past

keeps you in victimhood, even if you don't know it, like your world and

your life could look exactly how it is.

But I promise you, if you're not doing.

Work and you haven't done this work and you haven't had insight into

this work at the level that I do.

It's showing up in your life some ways, some form, you know, I think this is the

reason why we have this huge movement around the patriarchy and like hating

men and you know, all of this like stuff around the relationship between

men and women right now, because we women have moved into an energy of

accepting and embodying and identifying with the victimhood that patriarch.

has, inflicted or shared or created, I don't know the word I want to use

there, but you kinda get the vibe.

It's like because men have been in power and creating structures and organizing

and protecting and trying to like, Invoke or infuse their energy in the way

that they see the world on the world.

We have forgotten that.

We also have power, that we are the influencers.

If men are doing all of this, yes, for their egos, but their egos are

fed by having the best, having the best woman, so on and so forth, like

providing, like doing, like serving, we've forgotten that we have a key role

in influencing the way that men interact in this world, and I'm not gonna.

Super duper far in this particular episode, cause

that's for another day and time.

But when I think about a victimhood, when I think about women, when I think

about healing our lineages, when I think about becoming the woman that I'm

meant to be and I am being, and that you may be called to be and are being, um,

This is about remembering things in our lineages that have been forgotten, right?

This is about overcoming the patterns and the ways of existing that right now

culture and society wants to put a label on calling everybody a fucking narcissist

all the time, and like all these things, and it's like, cool, we've pathologized

people, we understand what's going on.

We've labeled it.

Describe it, but now how do we heal it?

How do we change our experience in my life, in the world and our

culture and our society, right?

And we do that by going back.

In order to move forward, we have to heal backwards with the

ancestors in order to create new experiences, new lineages, new right?

Moving forward and.

, I've had to cut people off, like host multiple times and be

like, there's zero victimhood.

Like, how can you ever become who you wanna be by avoiding who you are,

and what you, what you walk with?

You have to, that's like, to me, that's like personal development one-on-one.

You know?

If I am not aware, how can I overcome?

If you have no awareness, your consciousness remains the same.

So when we do ancestral healing work or rather whole lineage healing, we are

becoming aware of the whole impact our lineage is having on our whole lives,

and then stepping into the authority.

in partnership with ancestors to alleviate, transmute, alchemized,

overcome, and embody something different.

If that's not the ultimate self mastery process, I don't fucking know what is,

because in my opinion and what I've experienced, And what I've also been

taught is that, and witness, right, all these different ways of knowing

and validating that this is true.

We have a soul that comes from God and other galaxies and and other places.

And we also have the family that we have chosen the human family.

And so when we have the physical aspect of ourselves merging, with the

soul aspect, there is a relationship and a negotiation that comes.

We can't say that, okay, based on who I am as a star seed, I have no responsibility

to my ancestors and my bloodline on this earth and on this planet.

No, you're human for a reason.

So that means you're soul, your star seed self, you're sparkly, your alienness

plus your humanity is going through a process of embodiment and becoming and

having an impact and moving through this human experience for a reason.

. So I find that to be so interesting when they're like, oh, it

seems like so victim hoodie.

And I'm like, not at all actually.

It's incredibly empowering.

Why does understanding where you come from and taking responsibility of that

with the people who created it, who experienced it, who survived it, suit,

who were impacted by it, who participated in it, how is that victimhood?

It's actually true leadership in my opinion.

So that's misconception number two, that ancestral healing is victimhood.

That you need to just leave the past in the past and just vibrate higher and

create the reality you wanna create and manifest when you wanna manifest while

ignoring all the other things that created incongruencies in your energy field.

In the first place.

Makes no fucking sense.

But okay.

Y'all , I'm gonna get off my soapbox.

Actually, I'm not.

Cause this is my podcast, and I really love that we finally get to

say that and I hope it makes sense.

You know, there is a balance to this.

We are definitely not going to ancestors to be like, solve all the problems.

And this is all because of you guys that have no responsibility.

No.

We are the leaders right now.

We get to create what we want, but we do that by working with the past

for the future and for the present.

There's a process.

misconception number three.

I think I've already kind of said this, but it truly is the, you don't need

to look back in order to move forward.

Just like vibe High and, and go forward.

You'll manifest what you want, but it won't feel how you want.

You'll still experience or manifest.

Experiences that essentially create the realities that you don't want.

So I see this all the time.

It'll be like I have to keep surrounding myself with what I do want in order

to avoid what I don't, which in some ways is kind of smart energetically,

but in other ways, I personally wanna be the person where, no matter where

I go, , I'm always the same person.

Like I am so aligned with my soul's calling and so rooted in my ancestral

inheritance and power and support that it doesn't matter who I'm around.

I'm not like, wavering and being triggered and like all these things.

I'm so solid in my call.

My role, my purpose, my energy, my presence, my magnetism,

doesn't matter who I'm around.

And to be honest with you, I've kind of always walked in that.

, even before I got even deeper into my work, I've had friends of all

different backgrounds and wherever I go, people are asking me to come back

based on who I am, because I am rooted and who I am and what I'm here to do.

Okay.

Misconception number four, cuz I kind of went on a little bit of a

tangent there, but hopefully you guys are following and you're vibing

with this and it's resonating.

Misconception number four is that ancestral healing is mediumship.

It's all about just communicating with the dead and getting insight

from people who've transitioned on and are in the other realm, which

there is an aspect of that obviously.

Um, and if you think that you're not a medium, I would argue that you are.

Everyone has some form of mediumship in them.

, we all have an ability to sense spirit, feel spirit, even if you are

disconnected from it or you haven't really, um, exercised that skill.

Um, or opened up that gift in the way that it shows up for you.

Cuz not everybody's a seer.

Not everybody's a speaker.

Not everybody's a, you know, all these different ways of experiencing mediumship,

but it's really not about that.

Like to me, whole lineage healing isn't about being a medium

and speaking with the dead.

That's just one aspect of it.

It truly is about parsing through what serves and what no longer serves from

your lineage that can support you in.

The life and the legacy and the lifestyle that you deserve, that's

gonna have a positive impact on this world and move us forward in the

collective consciousness of this planet.

whether that's in your day-to-day life or even if you have a

huge, amazing platform, right?

And so when people come to me and they're really, really into the witchy

stuff and they're like having all these ancestral alters and they're doing all

these spells, and they're deep into the esoteric arts and alternative this

and ethereal that, I'm like, that's all fine and dandy, and I'm not mad

that you have these abilities, but I want you to come into this experience.

Open to journeying with your ancestors in a way that impacts their

energy and supports you in yours.

Like I don't even feel like this is so Mercury and Pisces, the words never

fully capture what the experience of doing whole lineage healing is like.

Like you truly have to experience it to know it's for yourself.

And this is another reason why I had to come back to my own podcast.

is because a lot of the hosts, understandably so, like this is

what all podcasts do these days.

They're like, can you give One thing that they can do today to start

connecting with their ancestors.

And I was like, well, sign up for any of my master classes, workshops, memberships,

apply to work, maybe one-to-one.

Like, that's what you should do, because this is not about

setting up an ancestor altar.

This is not about you know, going to the graveyard or having a, a holiday to,

to honor and revere your ancestors and those who have passed who were once here.

. Those are all nice and dandy and lovely starting components, but there's so

much more to this work that is actually beautiful, easeful loving work.

Cause it's not hard at all that there's no quick fix or like recipe or ritual

that you do to start connecting.

Like it's a journey.

You're guided.

You learn how to connect with your people, you learn the

kind of questions to ask them.

You learn how to hold boundaries with them.

You learn how to have protections.

You learn how to ask them to.

Ask them to support.

Like there's all these other things that occur in your relationship

with the ancestors and who you then become as a result.

Cuz that's the thing.

It's not about information and then taking action, which is what a lot of

people do when it comes to ancestor work.

Let me honor the ancestors, let me, let them give me wisdom, and then

I'm going to abide by what they say and kind of putting their ancestors

in a certain position in their.

This is about who I am becoming and remembering, and the role that I'm playing

in my life that affects my lineage, right?

Like I truly feel that those who are called to this work are leaders.

We have chosen to be here for a reason.

Like something needs to be instilled in the lineage, or of course corrected in the

lineage or reclaimed through the lineage.

And your life gets to be that beacon of life, like you will

be remembered in your lineage.

That's not like some weird sellsy.

and one of the things that I lead people through when they first

get into this work is actually looking over their lineage to see.

Who were the markers?

What has happened?

What is the state of our lineage?

What role did I come in to fulfill that's beyond just what I desire and

like my cognitive understanding, but what agreements did I make with my

soul to be a part of this family?

Right?

And here I am thinking that I'm supposed to blend in with my family,

or breaking generational patterns is so hard and having a, you know,

loving relationship is so challenging.

But that's what you came here to.

And when you really see that and you see how your ancestors are here to support you

and to get outta your way or to resolve some of the things that keeps showing up

in your life, it transforms your power, it transforms your perspective, and you

can really walk in your authority in a way that is an initiation essentially.

It truly is.

So anyway, I'm gonna wrap this up by saying what ancestral healing is, or

rather what whole lineage healing trade.

Is, and that is, it's parsing through what serves and what doesn't

serve you from your conditioning.

Right.

Parsing through what serves and what doesn't in your conditioning.

Cuz there are some things that we're conditioned into that is great, you

know, that is helpful and it might be distorted in how you're using it.

It might, you might be, behaving or showing up being in a certain

way that is more rooted in the fear instead of the expansion, but

that, . just not even a quick fix.

It's like a tweak.

It's a tweak with you and your ancestors that can change that.

For example, what it is, it's also learning how to belong and be supported.

And no matter what, you get that from God, you get that from your ancestors,

you get that from your guides.

You get that from your celestial beans, your elementals, whatever you believe in.

, I find that a lot of people will go to God and Jesus and elemental beings and

deities and everyone else, but wants to ignore their own ancestors, right?

Or, and or you're calling on an ancestor who actually is not

supportive in where you're going.

You know, I'm always using the grandmas.

I know the collective grandmas are like this bitch, but , y'all

know what I'm talking about.

Grandmothers, where you're calling on a grandmother who

actually did not, you know, care.

Organization or structure or was really resentful that she was a mother and really

wish she would've pursued her dreams.

That's probably not the ancestor needs to be working with.

If you're out here focusing on pursuing your dreams or whatever, you know,

you have to be aware of who you're calling in and who you're working with

and who's influencing your day to day.

Okay.

Um, stepping into.

Your ultimate?

Yes.

This was a really good note.

So ancestral healing is also stepping into the ultimate self mastery of yourself.

It is the ultimate journey of knowing exactly what you come from, what you're

caring as you heal, who you're working and walking with, whether you know

it or not, and essentially stepping into your fullest greatest self.

your fullest grade of self.

There were things that our ancestors had to settle for that you're just not.

And until you do ancestral healing work at that level, you won't see how

those different patterns and ways of settling are showing up in your life.

Just because you're not settling in the way that the women in your

lineage have settled, doesn't mean you're not settling , right?

It just doesn't look the same.

And there's a deeper thing than just survival.

Like we give, again, we give these like very simple terminology and like

phrases plastered over our experiences instead of getting into the root issue,

which ancestral handling will help.

Ancestral healing is about gaining greater perspective of your gifts,

your capacity, and your possibilities.

It's about reclaiming what's been lost that's unique to you and your lineage,

not something given fine on Instagram.

It's about invoking and imbuing your life and lineage with new energies

that you're here to bring forth and into fruition, which I really love

that cuz there are things that my soul knows and has experienced that.

It's new to my family, it's new to my lineage, and it just further

affirms that we are leaders.

We are supposed to be here walking these paths and lives that we're

walking because we're needed.

if you're really, really curious about everything that I'm saying

and it's kind of striking a chord with you, I definitely recommend.

Getting the break the pattern and level up three part workshop series to

explore this further, and we'll have the link in the show notes, but it was

a three part, like 90 minutes each day.

So it, it truly is like a mini course to be honest with you, where

I guide you through identifying.

Your symptoms of an ancestral wound, your generational patterns, and

also what the ancestral trauma or wound actually is in your life.

And I guide you through that experience, through the recordings.

It's amazing.

It's something that I offer that people loved so much.

So, um, it's like the greatest signups we've ever had.

So if you're interested in that, definitely check out the link in

the show notes, um, to sign up.

So as I was saying, ancestral healing is essentially self and lineage leader.

, right?

Like self and lineage leadership that you are wanting, ready, and willing

to make a mark on the world by who you're becoming and who you're being.

And that's more than just your actions.

It's more than just your efforts.

It's more than just, um, what you're choosing to manifest

or create in your life.

It's truly the energetics that you're walking within and sharing with the world.

It's about you learning how to make a mark in relationship

with and to those who came.

And who are a part of you.

That's what ancestral healing is to me.

and how I work.

We're often so focused on what we wanna manifest, that we're not at all

interested in who we get to become for the first time in our lineages

and the process of this life that will have a ripple effect moving forward.

And I find that to be very, very interesting because when we do think

about who we're becoming, like, think about this, what if every woman in your

lineage moving forward knows how to.

Healthy boundaries that are actually expansive and generative to everyone

around her, including herself.

Like what if there was no need to have books around holding boundaries and

what if there we got to a space where it's not even about holding boundaries.

Your energy is your boundary.

Who you are either attracts or repels people that.

You don't have to sit back and be like, do I need to hold a boundary right now?

And I'm not mocking anybody or any of the boundary stuff, but like

just saying, you don't have to think about it because you know you are.

It just is.

It just is.

That's what ancestral healing helps you do.

It just helps you be.

for me, I am the balanced creational woman who receives all that she wants

and needs through her energy and through her being, not through her efforts

and not through her doing anymore.

Like, I'm not just doing, doing efforting, efforting, trying,

trying, pushing, pushing, like done.

We, we've done that kind of manifesting and being already, and now there's a

new way of existing that I am showing exemplifying teaching and guiding women.

Whole lineage healing.

I was actually listening to an author and who's also a podcast host the other

day, and I, I really admire this person.

and she talked about how she got where she is, um, today through hard work.

Um, and through her hard work ethic because she comes from a single family

home where she had a single mother.

And in that moment, the light bulb like really, really lit up for me.

I was like, oh my God.

Her story resonated so much.

Her story resonated with my past success narrative that I was like, oh,

because I come from this background and I am the first in my family to

do, I do it out of my hard work.

I threw it out of the pride of working hard to make it happen, and I was like, I

no longer resonate with that, like I have.

Evolved and healed out of my effort is the only thing that creates the life and

lineage that I want and the legacy that I want, and that's just not true anymore.

It's the woman that I am that creates what I want.

The whole part of me.

There's moments where I'm putting forth a little effort.

You know, I'm g I do go grocery shopping.

Like someone would arguably say me recording this podcast

episode as work and effort.

But to me it's not.

It's me living in my calling.

It's me existing in the way that I choose to exist in this.

. So, it's interesting.

I think the words are easy to hear and get behind when I say, let's create

what you want by being the woman you're called to be by having the energy that

draws the things to you as opposed to you always leading with your effort.

I know those words resonate in our ears, and that's easy for us

to say, yeah, I wanna get behind.

, but the embodiment of doing that, of being that is another story and

a completely different experience.

I assure you, I understood this conceptually.

and cognitively and intellectually.

But it wasn't until I got into my whole lineage healing and saw my particularly

maternal lineages relationship to work, like how women trusted hard

work and their effort more than they trusted their energy and other people

around them, and being able to draw on the right people to collaborate and

exist with and be in community with.

Right.

So, This is why I say whole lineage healing is an experiential thing.

When you step into it and you start parsing through these things that are

unique to you and your lineage, you see the world in completely different colors.

The words will never capture.

what that's like.

And, and even my clients say that when they do their testimonial videos, they're

like, I mean, I don't think these words even express what I'm really trying to

say, but I'm gonna try to do my best.

You know?

And I'm like, I know girl.

I know, I know.

All that matters is that you understand it.

All that matters is that you embody it.

All that matters is that people are stopping saying, gosh, you're different.

Wow, you changed.

Like, oh my God, this is who you've always been.

Just like more of you like, what did you do?

How did you shift?

And all you can do is smile and say, oh yeah.

, I work with this lady who does ancestral healing or, you know, keep it a secret

to yourself, which I don't recommend.

By the way.

expansion is really great when you are abundant with sharing how and what

you've done or what you've learned such as I'm doing on this podcast.

Okay.

I'm gonna wrap it up.

But you know, this is something that I was called to.

I was a little girl.

I've been doing ancestral healing work and it's looked different.

But it's always felt the same over these years.

There are some specific stages and paths that we go through on this journey and

I'll be writing and talking about that a little bit here, but I am writing

about it in my book Pass to Freedom.

If you've heard about it, you can get on the wait list cuz

it is coming and I'm very, very grateful and excited about that.

But ancestral healing, particularly for women.

, um, such as myself, and you probably are, who really became generational pattern

breakers through our effort by choosing to go to college, by choosing to work hard.

And now you're realizing that this is, it's not sustainable, right?

It's not sustainable.

You'll gain it all and still feel empty inside.

I'm gonna talk about the ancestral healing stages and past that we

go through when you are that.

. All along, ancestral healing has always been one very important part.

One, but a very important part, of a much bigger approach to creating freedom,

love, and abundance in our lives.

And I think that it's the, approach that is most overlooked and most avoided.

And I find that to be very interesting and always wonder why.

It's like we're running away from ourselves thinking that our

ancestors in our past is not a part of who we are and isn't within.

And if we believe that and we keep doing that, we'll keep repeating the same

cycles, same gift, different wrapping.

Okay, so those are some of the misconceptions around ancestral healing.

again, if you're really airily interested in exploring, um, and dipping your toe

into what ancestral healing can do for you as a modality, as again, a way of

life, as a way of being and supporting you to be the empowered, creational

balanced woman that you're called to be, definitely, definitely, definitely check

out to break the pattern and level up.
