What if healing isn’t just personal—but ancestral?

In this episode, we chat with Perdita Finn, author of Mothers of Magic, to explore the forgotten wisdom of our maternal lineages and what becomes possible when we reconnect with the mothers, ancestors, and earthly guides who have always been with us.

When Perdita faced a profound health crisis, her search for healing became a journey into inherited trauma, cultural memory, and the sacred feminine. Through memoir, history, and spiritual practice, she reveals how ancestral connection can help us navigate illness, grief, disconnection, and the wounds carried across generations.

Together, we discuss:
• How trauma is passed through maternal lineages
• The spiritual and practical power of ancestral healing
• Reclaiming the sacred feminine in modern life
• What “magic” means as a living practice
• How to restore belonging in a fragmented world

Perdita’s newest book, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, is an intervention for our time and a map back to the maternal wisdom that has always been ours—a path toward true connection and the deepest sources of love.

If you’re interested in ancestry, healing, spirituality, feminism, or the deeper wisdom traditions that shape our lives, this conversation offers a powerful invitation to remember.
