EP 07: QUIT DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING OF HEALING ALONE: START HERE

You can’t strong-arm your healing or your ancestral healing. It is not a solo job. In this episode, Ash unpacks how to allow your healing to pay forward for future generations by allowing ancestors to come alongside you and heal the wounds of the past. We can’t move forward without first going back. Ash shares the similarities, and differences, between ancestral healing and personal development.
