Stephanie Urbina-Jones takes us on a soul-stirring journey from paralyzing self-doubt to standing proudly as a Latina pioneer in country music. At the heart of her transformation lies a deathbed prophecy from her grandmother, who called her to be a "mensajera" – a messenger who would bridge cultures through music.

Despite feeling broken and unworthy, Stephanie's path shifted dramatically after encountering a Mexican curandera whose healing ceremonies and breathwork unlocked something profound within her. Through a supernatural experience where her great-grandfather urged her to pursue music, she found the courage to mortgage her house and record her first album. This leap of faith eventually led to a record deal and the promise of becoming "the Latina of country music" – until personal heartbreak derailed everything.

The conversation delves deep into how childhood wounds create limiting agreements that filter our entire adult experience. Stephanie vulnerably shares how feeling unwanted and unlovable as a child created patterns that affected her relationships, particularly with her daughter. Her breakthrough moment came when she finally recognized how she had trained everyone around her to treat her with the same disrespect she showed herself – a powerful reminder that how we treat ourselves teaches others how to treat us.

Today, Stephanie and her husband Jeremy lead Freedom Folk and Soul, creating transformational journeys and initiation ceremonies that help people release old agreements and step into their authentic power. Their work draws from Toltec wisdom, indigenous practices, and the understanding that true healing happens in the body, not just the mind. As Stephanie powerfully states, "Pain becomes our power. That's what we create life with."

The episode culminates with Stephanie sharing an ancient prophecy about humanity's great awakening – the "Pachacuti" – and inviting listeners to hold both compassion for current struggles and hope for collective transformation. Her story reminds us that our deepest wounds often become our greatest gifts when we have the courage to face them.
