Adina and Roberta talk about the power of ancestral healing and connection. They trace their family lines — Swedish, Northern English, Israeli, and an unknown maternal lineage shaped by adoption — and explore how to heal trauma that's been passed down through generations. They dig into genealogy, ritual, food, and intuition as pathways to ancestors, sharing personal stories that include Salem witch trial history and inherited beliefs around money and safety.
