You’re Not Missing Ancestral Culture — You’re Disconnected From It

About this episode

This episode discusses the feeling of disconnection from ancestral culture and offers ways to reconnect with one's roots.

Ep 70: You feel it… that pull toward your roots. Wanting something deeper, but not knowing where to start. In this episode, we’re talking about culture—and why so many of us feel disconnected from it. Because it didn’t disappear. It was forgotten. I share why this disconnection happens and how you can begin finding your own culture again—without borrowing from others. Inside, we cover: - Why “white culture” can feel missing - How culture was lost through migration and assimilation - 3 simple ways to start discovering your roots ✨ Melanie Marisol’s free email sequence: https://thelineagerevival.com/pages/gift ✨ Start your Origin Initiation: https://knowyourancestors.co/origin
