Healing Beyond the Master’s Tools: Therapy, Queerness, and Rediscovering Indigenous Wisdom

In this deeply reflective episode, Christabel and Kachi dive into the layered complexities of healing as queer African immigrant women navigating Western therapeutic tools, cultural inheritance, and the longing for ancestral wisdom. 

They explore questions like: 

Are the tools we’re using to heal truly liberating us? 

• What happens when therapy and mindfulness no longer feel like enough? 

• How do we reclaim indigenous healing practices that were disrupted by colonialism? 

Through raw storytelling and vulnerable reflection, they unpack the ways queerness became a lens for healing, the heartbreak of systemic betrayal, and the deep longing to return to something ancient, something rooted. 

This conversation is not just about personal healing, it’s about collective liberation, about challenging systems that ask us to stay small, silent, and stagnant. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck on your healing journey, if you’ve questioned whether the tools available to you are truly serving your growth, this episode is for you. 

Tune in, reflect, and let’s query deeper, together.
