In this episode, Erica and Genevieve discuss what it means to walk a medicine path with “militancy” as their elders before them have encouraged. It’s likely not the painful drudgery that you think it might be! They share about listening to the inner nudge before it becomes a slap in the face or worse, a bus barreling down on you to get your attention. They also share their experiences in surrendering their lives to Spirit. This episode is packed with beauty, wisdom, and experience. And, bonus, they share steps to take to listen to your body and strengthen your intuition!
