    🇿🇲Ancestral Healing and Adoption: Ana's Story Back to Her Homelands

    You don’t have to be adopted to feel disconnected from your roots, culture, or lineage. If you’ve ever wondered how to find your way back to where you come from, this conversation is for you.   In this episode of our ancestral healing series, I’m joined by an Ana Rau, an adoptee who traveled to Zambia to reconnect with her relatives, her culture, and the land of her ancestors. She shares the deeply moving story of her adoption, homegoing ceremony and what it felt like to be surrounded by her people, exploring a sense of belonging she hadn't experienced before. We talk about: adoption, parenting, raising biracial children, race and identity, spirituality, culture, service, and the many ways we can create relationships with our ancestors. She also shares rituals and practices that have helped her connect with her lineage and offers a beautiful reminder that ancestral connection can be explored whether you were adopted, grew up disconnected from your culture, or have always known where you come from. This is a conversation about returning, remembering, and discovering that belonging can be something we cultivate, reclaim, and experience in ways we may never have imagined. In this episode, we explore: Her journey back to Zambia and reconnecting with her relatives and ancestral homelandThe story and meaning behind her homegoing ceremonyAdoption, identity, race, and belongingParenting biracial children and navigating conversations around race and cultureSpirituality and reconnecting with cultural traditionsRituals for connecting with ancestorsHow ancestry can inform the way we serve othersWhat it means to feel seen and recognized by your own peopleWays adoptees and non-adoptees alike can explore ancestral connectionIf you want to connect more with Ana, find her on instagram as @anasyoma or email her at gallowaa@gmail.com  In the episode Ana mentions the Spoon Foundation. 💖Want to connect more with April?

    🫶What Is Ancestral Healing? Understanding Generational Trauma, Lineage Healing & Connection to Inherited Gifts

    What is ancestral healing, and why are so many of us feeling called to reconnect with where we come from? In this solo introduction to my ancestral healing series, I’m exploring what ancestral healing actually means, why it matters, and the many ways we can reconnect with our roots, our stories, our cultures, and our ancestors. We’ll talk about ancestral trauma and inherited patterns, but also ancestral wisdom, resilience, creativity, culture, ritual, belonging, and the gifts that can be carried through generations.  I’ll share more about my own path into ancestral healing and how my understanding of this work has evolved through spirituality, intuitive work, and my own relationship with lineage. We’ll also explore what ancestral healing can look like when you don’t have easy access to your family history or feel connected to your cultural roots. Because you don't have to be adopted, know your entire family tree, or have a particular spiritual belief system to wonder where you come from and what it means to belong. We'll explore about approaching ancestral work with curiosity and a trauma-informed lens: honoring what came before us without romanticizing it, taking what nourishes us, tending to what needs healing, and making conscious choices about what we carry forward. This episode opens the door to a series of conversations about ancestry, adoption, culture, spirituality, parenting, race, ritual, belonging, and what it can mean to come home to ourselves by understanding where we come from. Reflection for this episode: What do you know about the people who came before you, and what are you curious to know? 💖Want to connect more with April?

    🎊The Biggest Spiritual Lesson of 2026 (And Why It's Your Greatest Flex)

    What if the greatest achievement of this year isn't becoming more productive, more informed, or even more spiritual, but learning to trust yourself already as you are?  I'm sharing a recent experience that became one of the most painful and powerful initiations of my life. It challenged me to question whose voice I was listening to, what authority I was giving away, and what it truly means to come home to my own inner knowing. I also believe this isn't just my story. More and more of us are being invited into the same collective initiation. As artificial intelligence, endless information, algorithms, experts, and opinions compete for our attention, the real work is becoming clear: strengthening our relationship with our own intuition. We'll explore why trusting yourself may be the defining spiritual practice of 2026 and beyond, how your inner compass can become your North Star in an increasingly noisy world, and why discernment, not certainty, is what will help us navigate what's coming. In this episode, we explore:  Why trusting yourself is the biggest flex of this new era.  The painful initiation that changed how I relate to my intuition.  What I believe is happening collectively in our consciousness.  How to use AI as a tool without allowing it to replace your inner authority.  Practical ways to reconnect with your own inner compass. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, searching outside yourself for answers, or wondering how to stay grounded in a rapidly changing world, this conversation is for you. 💖Want to connect with April Jay Tasi?

    🦭Returning to Your Roots Is Not Regression | How Looking Back and Reconnecting With What Matters Moves You Forward

    Have you ever felt called to revisit something you thought you'd already outgrown: a place, practice, dream, creative passion, or part of yourself?  In this episode, I explore why returning to your roots isn't a step backward, but often an invitation into deeper alignment, clarity, and purpose. I share my personal story of reconnecting with parts of myself I once believed I needed to leave behind, and how that process has brought unexpected inspiration and direction.  We'll explore:   Why growth isn't always about moving on to something new, how to recognize when your soul is calling you back to what matters most, and how to distinguish true evolution from the pressure to constantly reinvent yourself. I also guide you through a reflective exercise to help uncover any shadows, fears, or resistance you may have around returning to your roots so you can access greater clarity and creative momentum.  Plus, I share the story of the Selkie as a powerful metaphor for remembering who you are, along with an intuitive card pull and messages for listeners. If you've been feeling nostalgic, uncertain about your next step, or drawn back toward an old dream, this episode may offer the reassurance and inspiration you need to trust the journey home to yourself! 💖Want to connect with April Jay Tasi?

    ⚕️Pressure to Heal Myself | Mental Health Stigma in Spiritual Spaces

    “For a long time, I unconsciously believed that if I was spiritually connected enough, self-aware enough, or healed enough… I shouldn’t need therapy, medication, or outside support.” In this episode, I’m opening up about my recent mental health journey, including receiving a diagnosis, exploring treatment options, and confronting the shame I carried around needing support despite years of spiritual practice, intuitive work, and helping others heal. I share honestly about what can feel missing in some spiritual and healing spaces when it comes to mental health conversations,  especially the unspoken pressure to “heal yourself,” stigma against certain modalities,  pressure to stay "high-vibe", transcend difficult emotions, or believe that needing therapy, medication, or professional support somehow means you’ve failed spiritually. We talk about: ✨mental health stigma in spiritual communities ✨therapy and medication shame ✨burnout, nervous system overwhelm & emotional exhaustion ✨overgiving and hyper-independence ✨the pressure healers feel to have it all figured out ✨spiritual bypassing and self-abandonment ✨why healing is deeply non-linear ✨integrating spirituality with real mental health support ✨learning to receive care instead of always being the caretaker This episode is for the healers, helpers, mothers, sensitive souls, creatives, and overgivers who are exhausted from trying to carry everything alone while believing they should be able to “figure it out” themselves. You do not have to transcend your humanity to be worthy of healing. You are allowed to need support too. 🔮 Want to connect with April Jay Tasi?
