What if the healing you've been searching for has been with you all along?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Erica Vigil-Flores—author of Healing with Dirt, nurse, midwife, death doula, curandera, and medicine woman—to explore the ancient healing traditions that have been quietly passed down through generations and why so many of us are now feeling called to remember them.

Together, we journey through the rich cultural traditions of Northern New Mexico, the wisdom of our ancestors, Curanderismo, earth medicine, and the lasting effects of colonization on our relationship with healing, faith, and ourselves. Erica shares how reconnecting with the land, our intuition, and our ancestral practices can help us reclaim what has always been ours.

We also dive into the sacred work of birth and death, the difference between religion and faith, the Witch Wound, spiritual gifts, remedios, and the everyday medicines hiding in our homes, our gardens, and our communities.

Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or already walking a spiritual path, this conversation is a gentle invitation to remember your roots, trust your inner wisdom, and reconnect with the sacred medicine that surrounds you every day.

In this episode, we explore:
• What Curanderismo really is and why it's still relevant today
• The healing wisdom of our ancestors
• Colonization and the loss of traditional healing practices
• Earth medicine and building a relationship with the land
• Spiritual gifts and learning to trust your intuition
• Birth, death, and healing through life's sacred transitions
• The difference between religion and faith
• Practical remedios for the body, mind, and soul

Goldie Matthew.

She walks into a room, shakes her golden curls, and instantly the room feels different.
Goldie is a joy to know. One simple conversation is laden with hope, inspiration, education, laughter, wisdom... She is a master teacher that has designed a life of joy, freedom, and abundance… and it's made her rich. 

The way she thinks, her big heart, her desire to help others is inspiring but also educational. Get ready to take notes. 

Here are just a few of the Goldie nuggets from our conversation:

✨ “Never pass up an opportunity to make a new friend or experience something new.”
This is the motto she lives by, and it's given her permission to do the things that make us nervous - things like get to know interesting people, go on amazing trips, start businesses.

✨ She became the #1 sales rep at Tastefully Simple in ONE year.
Not by luck but by breaking big goals into small, consistent actions and staying committed.

✨ She doesn’t rely on one income stream.
She built multiple streams of income — from business, to real estate, to community experiences, creating true freedom in her life.

✨ “Find someone smarter than you and learn from them.”
She credits her success to this one principle. No ego. Just learning.

✨ “Go see how you can help other people first.”
Her secret to networking, business, and life? Lead with an authentic desire to see how you can serve and help others — everything else flows from there.

Goldie calls herself a “daily spreader of love and joy.”

And she means it.

From hosting motivational movie nights in her home…
to sending daily messages that uplift others…
to building businesses that bring people together…

She’s not just making money.

She’s shining her unique light everywhere she goes, raising the vibration of every room she enters. Her energy uplifts and in that vibe, her life overflows with abundance.

If you’ve been asking yourself:

✨ What is my contribution?
✨ How do I create a life that feels aligned and abundant?
✨ How do I actually start?

This episode is for you.

The Shine Your Light Crew Podcast SHOW NOTES

 In this episode: -

 Have you ever felt banished? –  

ban·ish

/ˈbaniSH/

verb

1. to send (someone) away from a country or place as an official punishment.
2. forbid, abolish, or get rid of (something unwanted).

Have you ever been kicked out of a group, or felt excluded? 
What does it feel like to get kicked out of your social circle? 

We often hear the phrase, “Find Your Tribe.” 
For Indigenous people, belonging to a tribe and tribal identity is extremely important. 

The tribe is the group that protects, feeds, houses, provides physical and spiritual sustenance, and reflects the moral compass of the group.
 
 What if the tribe kicks you out?  

Meet Tree, a remarkable, strong, and courageous woman. She is a mother of three, and of Native American birth, born and raised on an indigenous reservation in New Mexico. She is also the Creator and Host of the podcast Straight From the Roots. 

 
It is my honor to introduce you to Tree. Her story is one of immense pain and struggle, but also incredible redemption. And when you meet her, she is now the Phoenix risen from the ashes. She is full of hope and despite all of the struggles she’s been through, she maintains a joyful spirit. 

 One of my goals when I created The Shine Your Light Crew Podcast, is to create a platform where people can shine their unique light and story out to the world. This is the first conversation I have ever had on the podcast and in my life with a woman who is Native American, born and raised on an Indian Reservation. I think you will feel how I felt during our conversation, so comfortable, like we’ve been friends for years, and just how much we have in common. I hope through her story, we can feel her pain and her victories, and through the conversation, help to heal parts of us that have felt or still feel banished and bring those parts of us back to wholeness.
