Reclaiming Indigenous Wisdom + Caring for our Planet w/Ana Duque Everyday Evolution

    • Spirituality

In this episode, we sit down with Ana Duque, co-owner of the Heal Room and a passionate advocate for environmental justice. Together, we explore how to make lasting environmental and inner change in a world that sometimes feels stacked against us.
Key Takeaways:
Staying Positive Amid Cynicism: Ana discusses the challenge of maintaining positivity and hope in a world where cynicism can easily take over. How can we make real change sustainable and doable? It's a question that sparks a meaningful conversation.  
Book Recommendation: Ana mentions "Sacred Instructions" by Sherri Mitchell, which offers valuable insights into environmental stewardship and indigenous wisdom.  
The 80/10/10 Rule: Delve into the concept of the 80/10/10 rule from Sherri Mitchell, a rule that can guide us in our efforts to live more sustainably.  
Permission for Imperfection: Embrace the idea that it's okay to be imperfect in your journey towards positive change both environmentally and internally. The small steps count, and they accumulate over time. Start with what feels doable, and it will grow into something meaningful.  
Decolonizing and Re-Indigenizing: We discuss how the systems created during colonization times have disconnected people from the Earth, leading to feelings of emptiness. Decolonization involves coming back to living in proximity to nature, reconnecting with community, and tapping into our instincts and intuition. **Ana's Tips to Get Started:**
  1) Conduct a trash audit to understand what you're throwing away and how you can reduce waste. The best path forward is going to be different for each of us!
  2) Explore composting as a beautiful way to give back to Mother Earth!
We love how Ana's insights provide a roadmap for making real, sustainable change in a world that sometimes feels at odds with environmental values. By embracing imperfection, learning from indigenous wisdom, and reconnecting with nature, we can move closer to a more harmonious way of living!
