In this episode, Erica shares about facing disappointment and feeling difficult emotions. Topics she mentions are: compassion, suffering, love, acceptance, rejection, disappointment, accepting “no”, showing up for ourselves and others through the experience of feelings, helping children feel their feelings, and breaking up with pity. She also mentions the ancestral and cultural traumas of the last 110 years and how these generational wounds led us away from allowing the natural state of emotions to exist. Erica muses about the Dagara (and perhaps many other indigenous peoples) being the past and the future of human exist on Earth. This episode is raw and personal and she drops several F bombs so wear headphones if you’re listening around children.

Episode 33 - Earth Medicine— Trusting What You Can't See

In this episode, Erica and Genevieve discuss the practice of what Genevieve calls “being resourced”— trusting that what you need will arrive when you need it. (And how often it feels like it’s at the last minute after and after you’ve been forced to surrender.) They also discuss the importance of where you resource from when you are filling yourself up.
