In this episode we have the honor of being joined by beloved daughter of Sue Ellen and mother of Savanna, Mira wonderwheel. We’re going deep and revisiting an old tragedy that happened to the three of us that we haven’t spoken about with the three of us together since it happened nearly 20 years ago. There’s a catharsis that comes with sharing and we appreciate everyone who listens for holding the space for us to process and grow a little more with each conversation we have.

As a follow up to our solstice episode, this week we wanted to continue the conversation on ancestral communion and connection. It’s so easy to get pulled away from the tether that connects us with those who came before. This week Sue Ellen and Savanna talk about the ways we can stay tethered and pay our respects to those who brought us here.

In honor of the upcoming winter solstice (our favorite holiday over here!) we’re talking rituals. Small day to day rituals and big over the top once a year rituals, along with finding the magic in both the mundane and the magnificent.
