What if the goddess you've been picturing your whole life was never supposed to look like that? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Clarissa Guillen, an Afro-Caribbean Curandera and Bruja, for a conversation that goes straight to the root of what it means to reclaim your power— literally.

Clarissa walks us through her own decolonization journey: growing up Dominican and assimilating into white ideals of success, only to find her way back to her ancestral practices, her native tongue, and a sacred feminine that finally looked and felt like her. She unpacks the difference between the visionary, oracular spirituality she started in and the visceral, embodied ancestral practices she now teaches— and why the second one is the one that actually changed her life.

We also go deep into her 1:1 work, where she guides women through a ceremonial death-and-rebirth process over 12 months— burying an old identity and using its "compost" to grow something truer. If you've ever felt fragmented, like pieces of you got left behind to fit in somewhere, this episode will show you a different way back to wholeness.
