In this episode of Just Like Nana, host Amie (Elizabeth) Penny Sayler is joined by healer and social justice educator Joanna Kent Katz, as they explore how to move from inherited patterns of trauma and cultural assimilation toward a heart-centered state of collective liberation.
Together they discuss how healing your personal lineage is a vital step in dismantling systemic oppression and understanding your belonging in the world.
