    ☮️Harmonizing History: Ancestral Healing for Complicated Lineages, Identity & Belonging with Desiree Batiste

    What do you do when your ancestry contains seemingly opposing stories, identities, and histories? In this conversation, I’m joined by Desiree Batiste (Dez) for a heart opening exploration of what it means to navigate mixed-race identity, ancestral complexity, and the parts of our lineage that may have been in conflict with one another whether you are mixed race or not.  Dez shares how her pilgrimages to Europe and Africa helped her explore her mixed-race heritage and cultivate a deeper sense of belonging. We talk about how ancestral medicine can shape the way we move through our businesses, our communities, and our relationships, and how working with the dead can often  create pathways toward healing our relationships with the living. She also shares accessible rituals for connecting with your ancestors in everyday life, even if ancestral work feels new or unfamiliar. We explore how getting to know where we come from can expand our capacity for compassion and empathy, and how understanding the complexity of our lineage can help us hold more nuance in the way we understand ourselves and others.

    ☽Ancestral Healing & the Witch Wound: Reclaiming Ancestral Wisdom Through Activism, Pilgrimage & Food with Leighana Lynn

    What if you want to connect with your ancestors, but you don’t actually know much about them? In this conversation, I’m joined by Leighana to explore ancestral healing beyond the family tree. We talk about how to connect with your ancestors when your family history is fragmented, unknown, or difficult to access, and how ancestral connection can be cultivated through intuition, ritual, food, place, and embodied experience. We also dive into healing the witch wound, the ways our ancestral histories can influence how we relate to activism and social change, and what happens when we begin to understand ourselves as part of a much longer story. Leighana shares about her  pilgrimages to Ireland and what it means to seek ancestral connection through place, as well as the role of food as medicine and everyday earth based practices for building a relationship with the people and traditions that came before us. This is a conversation about remembering, reclaiming, and discovering that ancestral healing doesn't require you to have every answer about where you came from. Sometimes, the relationship begins with simply becoming curious. Want to connect with Leighana? Check out her instagram and website.  💖Want to connect more with April?

    🇿🇲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?
