Hello future ancestors,
I know it’s been a while - but I definitely have some updates on life and so many things that are unfolding, or better yet, unraveling.
As many of you know, I started Your Story Medicine with a deep curiosity about how to connect with my ancestors especially as someone who was born and raised in the United States, away from my parents’ homeland and the kind of village support they were raised with.
In my previous solo podcast episode I announced that I would be taking a sabbatical for the remainder of the year to tend to my wellness and to reconnect with my own ancestors.
My intention was to return to Thailand to study with Homprang, the traditional midwife that originally taught me womb healing when I was propelled into this path after being fired from my nonprofit job in 2017, and I was so excited to be a student again. The last time I had been back to my motherland was before Your Story Medicine was even birthed which happened at the peak of my Saturn Return five years ago.
You can listen to my first episode ever to hear more, since this is what essentially sparked my path into ancestral reclamation and entrepreneurship. I essentially created the very space I needed at that time of my life, in a predominately white industry that was abundant with cultural appropriation and misrepresentation.
I thought that returning to Thailand this time would be a way for me to be reminded of my medicine, but spirit clearly had other plans for me.
And In this past month, my life has taken a very different turn.
Main Topics
- Tasting my own bitter medicine
- Narratives that repel us from allowing love and abundance in
- Resourcing my nervous system from the ways it has been interrupted
- Connecting with my ancestors through my elders
Your story medicine is a small family business, and I thank you for being a supporter, whether you've listened to this podcast or have been a client that has trusted me with your stories.
In the meantime, I invite you to subscribe to our email list if you're not on it yet by going to yourstorymedicine.com where you'll be the first to know about my return and upcoming offerings, or follow me on Instagram @jumakae where I'll rarely be posting nowadays.
May you find the resourcefulness within you, and may you remember that by simply existing in this moment, you are already your ancestors' wildest dreams come true.
Until next year!
