June Marisa Kaewsith, also known as "Jumakae," is a professional artist, wellness consultant, and storytelling coach. After spending her twenties as an artist and community organizer inside nonprofit organizations, she began craving an alternative narrative to healing and justice beyond the struggle. Curiosity led her back to Thailand, where she studied with a traditional midwife to learn the ways of her ancestors. That's when she realized that all of our ancestors were entrepreneurial, filling a need in the community through their sacred offerings. This sparked her calling to assist others in remembering their magic.

This conversation was truly a combination of a breath of fresh air and a grounded conversation rooted in truth. What I love about Jumakae is the commitment she has to help you understand your story and how it relates to the stories of your ancestors, while maintaining a balanced, beautiful view of our ability to live a fulfilling life. 

We also talk about:

• Her relationship with her ancestors
• How we’re all ancestors in the making
• How mindfulness is a practice to connect to our ancestry
• Using anger as a tool of expression
• Looking to nature as our healer and teacher
• How our stories can stay stagnant in the body
• Taking care of our elders
