Today, we are responding to a listener question about how to work with ancestors when we don't necessarily align with or condone their behavior when they were alive. Together, we unpack the different ways we can frame our work with ancestors, and a Tarot anchor that can help!
CW: mentions of parenthood, childhood trauma, abuse, eating/food, relationship to body, racism, inherited generational patterns, genocide, violence, slavery, colonization/settler harm, ancestral & land-based trauma, systemic oppression, white supremacy, and white privilege
