300-plus ceremonies, de-conditioning at a cellular level and the deepest return to truth - which involved releasing incomes, friendships and complete identities to return to being in right relationship with The Grandmother, the ancestors and ourselves. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Why “truth work” is about more than honesty - it means releasing inherited programming, fear, and false identities
• How colonial Christianity weaponized sacrifice, original sin, and shame to disconnect people from their ancestries
• Why plant medicine, when approached sacredly, is a journey of deep liberation rather than a quick fix
• The power of names as sacred agreements, protection, and our connection back to our well ancestry. 

This conversation also exposes the subtle ways colonized thinking shows up in modern healing spaces - from transactional spirituality to the pressure to “get healed” and move on. Instead, we share how slow, ancestral, deeply rooted transformation cannot be rushed, faked, or outsourced.

If you’re ready to rethink healing, religion, ancestry, and what true reclamation can ask of us, this episode is essential listening.

We talk about the rocky introduction to The Grandmother Spirit where we thought our marriage of 16 years could be over for the first time, how nature is the connection back to the ancestors and ourselves and how truth is the most powerful frequency there is. 

In this introductory episode (1 of 3) we also talk about the harms of Colonial Christianity and what The Grandmother has to say about that. 

If you are interested in learning more about what it means to connect, reckon with and heal your ancestry, this is the episode for you.

Here’s what we cover inside this episode:

• Why leaving the city and living closer to nature changed the trajectory of our lives
• How ancestral connection reshaped Sha-Ola’s music and sense of belonging
• Why Suraya’s dream was the unmistakable invitation to The Grandmother spirit
• Our first encounter with The Grandmother and how it made us question our marriage for the first time
• What happened when truth arrived with fire instead of softness
