Hello, future ancestors!
Lately I've been in sloth training, and that means slowing down while learning how to still feel safe doing so.
It's been over three months since I've returned from my sabbatical, and coming back to Los Angeles was a lot to take in after being unplugged. And so many of you may know that I ended up spending time on a farm watching over nine goats, five chickens, five cats and two dogs for my friend Montez as she was out of town. I tried to use that time to refocus on coming back strong, but instead I preferred to hang out with the goats. I would highly encourage you to listen to my last solo episode about lessons in farm sitting if you'd like to hear more about that experience. And what many people don't know is that I actually left the farm to work at an event in Florida where I was asked to help coach a training for about 100 aspiring speakers. But I ended up with Laryngitis that whole entire week.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I am with Karissa. She supports families in documenting the beautiful milestones of life as their personal biographer. Karissa's intention with her camera is that her subject, whether it be a family, an entrepreneur or a woman giving birth feels seen. Much more than a collection of moments, photographs become part of a family's historic archive. And as a creative entrepreneur, Karissa has supported small businesses with strategy, branding, and marketing. Her creative nature and personal journey have led her to incorporate energy healing, meditation, sound healing, and other personal healing modalities into her work. And more importantly, Karissa is the one person I have trusted into the sacred spaces I've created for my own students, my own clients with the retreats that I have facilitated. So if you are curious, who it is that takes my photos and takes the photos of my clients and then comes to the retreats to capture this magic, it is this woman, Karissa.
Main Topics Discussed:
Conclusion: Balancing work and personal life can be a struggle. It's important to acknowledge and respect your own needs in order to live harmoniously.
Action Integration: Give yourself permission to feel the things that come up for you. It's okay to not be okay. And it's okay to invite people to come in and help support you with love and compassion.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, we explore the disconnection between people and death and how it has led to fear and suffering with our guest, Mary Telliano. This episode invites us to reflect on our own mortality and examines death in a new light that allows us to connect with ourselves and our loved ones, and to celebrate the sacredness of the moment. Mary has a mission; to rebrand death. Through training other death doulas, to education on grief, as well as the Anam Cara Podcast. Mary is midwifing the rebirth of dying well. In order to rebrand death we must first normalize it. Mary is connecting people to the universe that resides within them, and serving as a reminder that death is here, it is something we get to experience and it is ready to be carried in a new light.
Main Topics Discussed:
Conclusion: Death is not the enemy; it is a mystery to be embraced. We can use our understanding of death to live life more fully. Cherish the moments, be present, and create a life that you want to be remembered for.
Action Integration: Reframe the way you view death, and seek to establish that death is a natural part of life that can be approached with clarity, intentionality, and care.

Hello future ancestors!
It’s been about three weeks since I’ve left the farm, where my last solo podcast episode about “integration” after my sabbatical was recorded - and I miss it so much.
So much to the point where I will literally wake up and smell FARM.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Jayda Shuavarnnasri, aka “Sex Positive Asian Auntie”, a Queer Southeast Asian sexuality and relationship educator. She works to liberate folks from sexual shame by creating space for authentic conversations about sexuality, relationships, identity, and healing. She is also the co-producer of Don’t Say Sorry podcast, which centers the experience of Southeast Asian women navigating relationships, mental health and sexuality.
Main Topics Discussed:
Conclusion: We all could learn more about what intimacy means to us. We can’t just be pouring from our overflow. We also need space to deepen our well. Without stillness, we eventually end up pouring from a shallow cup. In what ways are you making the space to dig deep so that, when we pour, we’re not just operating from a place of service, from a desire to deepen our relationship with ourselves.
Action Integration: To choose silence is to choose oppression. Show up as a badass ancestor in the making and shift the story for your future lineage.

Hello future ancestors!!
Welcome back to Your Story Medicine, episode one of season 3
If you are new to my work, welcome. I am June also known as Jumakae - which is a combination of my first, middle, and last name.
My medicine is supporting future ancestors like you with finding clarity in your message and confidence in your speaking so that you can share your story, grow your legacy, and heal generations before/after you.
And as your dedicated life doula, I hold space for the contractions that arise in your body as you begin to birth a new story for your life.
I am just returning from my first ever sabbatical, where I completely shut down my calendar for the past six months to explore this question of “Who am I when I’m not in service?”
Episode Highlights:
I have some incredible guests that I’m excited to bring on this season, where we will dig deeper into plant medicine, ancestral healing, and entrepreneurship as sacred activism.
You don’t have to be an entrepreneur btw, but at least can be mindful of the individuals and resources that are available to support you with being rooted in times of change.
We are retiring my 12 week signature program, Roots to Rise, to birth other sacred offerings that are going to require more of my time and energy, such as my own retreats, ceremonies, and workshops.
Instead, I am only running ONE mentorship program this year, Bud to Blossom, which is my six month mastermind to support changemakers, visionaries, and healers with scaling their existing offerings. This is especially helpful for those who already have a service, such as a private therapy, consulting, or coaching practice, and are now wanting to expand their medicine to include retreats, speaking, and workshops while learning how to get paid for it. People are craving in-person experiences now that the pandemic has eased out, so let’s make that transition together. I also love working with educators and professors who are ready to teach their wisdom outside of formal institutions while creating a sustainable model to make that happen.
We are in the process of unlearning to learn, while divesting resources to where it is we choose.
And while I can help people with creating a profitable and ethical business plan, what’s most important to me is that we FEEL abundant beyond the numbers in our bank account.
I’d rather financial abundance be the byproduct of us living in alignment and integrity with our values.
And if you’d like a taste of what this can look like, then sign up for my upcoming free upcoming workshop on “How to Birth Your Sacred Offerings,” happening on Thursday, March 16 where I’ll teach you how to create a blueprint of possibilities that’s aligned with the seasons of nature - which has allowed me to take winters off cuz I just notice that my body doesn’t like to work at that time.
You’ll also get a replay to my last two workshops, How to Connect with Your Ancestors and Finding Clarity in Your Medicine — and all of these are going to be available until Bud to Blossom begins at the end of April.
So if you are in the season of receiving support to water the seeds you’ve been planting, then I invite you to apply to Bud to Blossom which will be the only way to work with me closely this year.
