There are so many ways that our ancestors shape who we are. In this conversation, Mallory Redmond and Dr. Christy Bauman discuss the importance of minding our elders and integrating their influence into our lives. With a special focus on the power of female elders, Christy and Mallory explore the importance of the table and ways we can all cultivate a sense of belonging and peace in our communities.

In particular, this episode celebrates the Cherokee tradition of the Beloved Woman. For more on the wisdom of female elders leading from the margins, please consider reading Kat Armas' book, Abuelita Faith.
