    Reflecting On Courage & Visibility: Leo Full Moon Vibes 🦁🌕

    In this solo podcast episode, I get into the energy of the Leo Full Moon and other related aspects. This episode also touches on subjects like the Genocide occurring now and how it reflects Pluto's energy in Aquarius. Being vulnerable is a scary thing, especially when you have wounds around being seen/perceived stemming from your father's wounds. Aspects like Venus in Capricorn, which go hand in hand with the shadows being illuminated with this full moon are also discussed in its correlation to having the courage to express oneself authentically. With that note, I went to my deepest empathy to issues going on overseas with those being affected in the 110-plus days of genocide!

    Embracing the Tapestry of Healing: A Journey Beyond Grief and Self-Discovery with Angelia Santiago

    Join me, Angelia Santiago, on a journey of authenticity and healing as we navigate the complexities of overcoming past traumas. Listen in as I share my personal battles with grief, family drama, and the lessons learned from allowing external forces to shape my life. Embracing the idea of intergenerational healing, I offer insights into the significance of being present and making peace with our history to create a brighter future. For anyone feeling alone or self-critical, this is your reminder that our stories continue to unfold and self-understanding is key to our growth! I reflect on the transformative importance of tuning into our bodies and emotions. Hear about the risks of sidelining our inner wisdom for pure logic, and the need to reclaim and honor the origins of spiritual practices. We'll explore the pitfalls of the inner critic and the loss that comes from ignoring our bodies' signals. With a hopeful outlook for 2024, I encourage you to break free from societal pressures and find your unique, intuitive rhythm, affirming that comparison only serves to steal our joy and love. In sharing the profound impact of my brother's passing exactly 2 years ago, I emphasize the importance of a legacy built on love and healing rather than material success. This chapter is a testament to the messy, non-linear, and deeply personal nature of self-improvement and self-love – a journey that is not only necessary but infinitely rewarding. This is a personal reflection, like a recorded journal seeing my progress as a recovering personal pleaser, in creating healthy boundaries for not only my future but the legacy of my people!

    Unwrapping the Gifts of Cultural Identity and Holiday Customs with Katya Quezeda

    Join the Ancestors Mama Podcast for a heartfelt exchange with Katya Quezada! She is a journalist whose voice has been a beacon of inspiration through her podcast "Cupola Colocha Says" Podcast. Delving into the Christmas season, we converse about the vibrant fusion of joy and cultural identity. Katya brings to the table a wealth of stories that shine a light on the trials and triumphs within communities of color. Experience the candid reflections on the holiday emotions, particularly for those distanced from family or wrestling with their cultural identity, and the societal expectations that weigh heavily on women of color. As the aroma of holiday spices fills the air, we unravel the complexities of cultural assimilation and identity within the Latin American community. From the generational shifts to the impact of colorism, our discussion takes a deep look at how we navigate our heritage in a world that's quick to label. We celebrate the strides made towards authentic representation and the importance of standing firm in our roots, especially during the cultural milestones that define us. Wrapping up the episode, we pay homage to the cherished traditions of Puerto Rico and El Salvador, reflecting on the need to safeguard these customs against the tide of colonization and assimilation. We share personal tales and urge listeners to pass down the torch of heritage to the younger generations. And as the New Year dawns, we advocate for a cycle of intention and hope, cherishing every moment with loved ones, and embracing the unyielding resilience of our communities. With Katya by our side, this episode is a tribute to the profound joy and connection we find in our cultural celebrations.

    Dissecting the Role of Space in Embodiment Healing with Angelica Sievers

    Ever wondered why traditional mental health treatments often seem to miss the mark? This riveting conversation with therapist and root worker, Angelica Sievers, might provide some answers. Angelica sparks a crucial dialogue about the current norms of mental health treatment, shedding light on how its overemphasis on the cerebral aspect often leaves the body and spirit overlooked. She takes us through her personal journey of reshaping her practice, moving away from patriarchal therapy towards a more encompassing approach that allows healing on all fronts - body, mind, and spirit. Navigating through our discussion, we tackle the unhealthy relationship we have with space and how it directly affects our ability to heal. Angelica discusses her process of decolonizing her relationship with her body, curating a space that fosters an understanding of ourselves and others. She challenges the notion of convenience dictating our practice of embodiment, pushing us to go beyond the superficial and truly connect with our bodies.  Join us as we uncover how to reconnect with our bodies, discovering the joy and pleasure that the journey of embodiment holds. We discuss strategies of surrendering to the wisdom of our bodies, breath, and spirit, and how to acknowledge when control is being sought for safety. With Angelica's profound insights, we explore the importance of fostering an environment of love and acceptance, understanding the disconnection from our bodies due to colonization, and the true joy of the journey of embodiment. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together, discovering a fresh perspective on healing.
