In this powerful episode of Strategies for Living, David and Lauren sit down with mind-body-spirit psychotherapist and author Linda Yael Schiller to explore ancestral dreaming—a transformative approach to healing generational wounds through dream work.

Together, they dive into why we dream, how dreams connect us to our ancestors, and how unresolved trauma (and deep wisdom) is carried through generations. Linda explains the six ancestral “calls,” the importance of keeping a dream journal, and how dream circles can support emotional and spiritual healing.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dreams hold deeper meaning—or how your family story lives inside you—this conversation will inspire, empower, and open doors to inner wisdom.

A rich, enlightening episode for anyone interested in personal growth, spirituality, trauma healing, Jungian psychology, or mind-body work.
