Regina Fields is a wellness creator, owner of Brave Baby Bird, co-founder of The Brown Care Collective and a dear friend of mine. In this episode Regina shares how she fell into the modern American trap of going to school, getting a job, doing all the things you’re “supposed” to do, yet still found herself miserable and hating her life. A breast cancer diagnosis followed by a series of life changing moments led her to a place of awakening and put her on her path to healing and wellness. We talk about the power of choice, faith, and persistence. Regina’s story is inspiring, relatable, and powerful. I am so grateful to be in sisterhood with such a beautiful and generous woman! Enjoy the episode!

This week, Stella Udeozor and I walk the story spiral together as she shares how her ancestors guided her away from cult-ish dogmatic religion towards true freedom. Stella shares her story of going on a year long international Christian mission trip to spread the gospel and how she started questioning her beliefs and the work they were doing just a few months into the trip. The breakdown of her beliefs led to an intense spiritual initiation as she opened up to communication with spirits other than Jesus. Stella is a portal keeper and shares many transmissions and deep wisdom in this episode and in her community. Grab your tea and get ready to reclaim your power as you listen to this episode!

Facebook: The Ancestors Hand

In part two of Steven’s story, we talk about the relationship he has cultivated with the forest, plants, animals, and fungi. Steven explains how he isn’t really reclaiming anything, it’s more like the forest has claimed him. He works as The Ancestors Hand and does what is asked of him by the forest and ancestors. We talk about the lie of separation and disconnection that is being sold to us and it feels personally freeing for me to remember it as exactly that, a lie. Steven shares how his hope for the future is rooted in regenerative practices and us actually *doing less*. There are many gifts woven into this episode and the last, thank you Steven for your presence and generosity!
