| 5/7/26 | How to Recode Your Blood Memory | In this solo episode, I talk about blood memory and how the patterns, trauma, and resilience we inherit shape the way we live and lead. I get into how so many of our responses come from survival, not choice, and how those patterns can be passed down through generations. But more importantly, I share how they can actually be changed. This is both a reflection and an invitation. You are not just carrying your lineage, you are shaping what comes next. If you have ever felt stuck in patterns that do not feel like your own, or wondered if real change is even possible, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I cover: • What blood memory is and how it shows up in your life • How generational trauma shapes the way you respond • Why were many of your patterns never consciously chosen • What it looks like to move from survival into self-leadership • Tools to start rewiring those patterns through subconscious and somatic work • What it really means to become a cycle breaker in your lineage LINKS: The Freedom Method™️ Certification Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn The Cycle Breakers YouTube Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | Creating a Movement Toward Lateral Lindness with Sheryl-Ann Carscadden and Christine John | In this honest conversation, Rachael sits down with Sheryl-Ann Carscadden (SAS) and Christine John, two Indigenous leaders who are reshaping how we understand harm, healing, and responsibility within our communities and workplaces. Sheryl-Ann Carscadden (SAS) is the Founder and Owner of Sundance Source Consulting. With more than 30 years of experience, SAS works alongside Indigenous communities, industry leaders, and organizations to build relationships grounded in respect and shared purpose. Christine John is the Founder & Principal Consultant of Owl Vision Strategies, bringing over 20 years of energy sector experience and a deep commitment to advancing reconciliation Together, they explore the reality of lateral violence, how it stems from systemic and historical harm, and the subtle ways it continues to show up today through exclusion, competition, and silence. More importantly, they introduce the concept of lateral kindness, a deliberate practice of compassion, accountability, and conscious change. This conversation moves beyond awareness and into action, asking what it really means to interrupt harmful patterns and become a cycle breaker in our own lives. In this episode, we explore: What lateral violence is and how it shows up in everyday spaces The impact of colonial systems on relationships and community dynamics The concept of "distortion of care" and how protection can turn into harm Lateral kindness as an intentional practice, not just an idea How to create safety, belonging, and accountability in workplaces and communities LINKS Sheryl-Ann Carscadden's LinkedIn Sheryl-Ann Carscadden's Website Christine John's LinkedIn Christine John's Website Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn The Cycle Breakers YouTube The Freedom Method™️ Certification | — | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | Somatic Healing is Ancestral Remembrance | In this solo episode, I share how somatic healing became the missing link in my trauma healing journey and why it's less about learning something new and more about remembering what our bodies already know. After years of hearing "regulate your nervous system," I finally understood how trauma lives in the body and why mindset work alone wasn't enough. Through somatic practices, I was able to move out of survival mode, build emotional resilience, and create real, lasting change. We also explore how this work connects to ancestral wisdom, especially within Indigenous communities, and why so many people are being called back to the body right now. In This Episode: Somatic healing for trauma and nervous system regulation Why talk therapy and mindset work weren't enough How trauma affects the brain and body Expanding your window of tolerance and emotional capacity Moving from survival mode to stability and growth Somatics as ancestral remembrance and embodied healing Links: Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn The Cycle Breakers YouTube Freedom Method™️ Info Session April 23rd The Freedom Method™️ Certification (we start May 13th) | — | ||||||
| 4/16/26 |  Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza: From Academia to Ancestral Healing | In this conversation, Rachael sits down with Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza, a Mexicana/Chicana seer, medicine woman in the Q'ero Inca lineage, and former Counseling Psychology PhD and professor whose life took a profound turn from academia to ancestral healing. She shares the life-altering moment that shifted her from a tenured academic career into ancestral medicine, and how chronic illness, loss, and surrender became the doorway to her true purpose. What unfolds in this episode is not just a story of personal transformation, but a powerful reflection on the systems we are taught to trust, and the cost of staying disconnected from our bodies, our spirit, and the Earth. If you are navigating your own awakening, questioning the systems you were taught to trust, or feeling the pull toward something deeper this conversation will stay with you. In this episode, we explore: 🕊️ The breaking point that led Doctora Rocío from academia to ancestral medicine 🕊️ What "decolonial shadow work" actually looks like in daily life 🕊️ The concept of colonial collusion and how it shapes modern living 🕊️ Reclaiming ancestral wisdom while living in a modern world 🕊️ The difference between transactional healing and relational, embodied practice LINKS Dra.

Best known for her iconic 1995 hit O Siem, Susan became the first Inuk performer to reach the Top 10 in Canada. But beyond her accolades - including the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement and the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award - this conversation centers on the woman behind the music. Together, they explore how her career unfolded unexpectedly, the loneliness and lack of belonging that shaped her early life, and the deeper layers of healing, identity, and responsibility that came with becoming a voice for so many. Drawing from her memoir Kihiani, Susan shares what it means to move from survival into self-discovery, and how creativity became a pathway back to herself. In this episode we explore: How Susan Aglukark's music career unfolded unexpectedly and what guided her path, including the impact of O Siem The impact of trauma, loneliness, and not belonging and how it lived in her body The shift from survival mode into intentional healing and self-awareness Writing, journaling, and creativity as tools for processing, expression, and release Confidence vs. arrogance and staying grounded while navigating visibility and responsibility Rediscovering joy through art, and what it means to return to yourself LINKS Susan's Website Arctic Rose Foundation Website Kihiani: A Memoir of Healing Susan's Instagram Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn The Cycle Breakers YouTube The Freedom Method™️ Certification Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program Podcast Studio: Jilani Place · | — | ||||||
| 6/19/25 | Ego Deaths, Plutophobia, and Fear of Leaving People Behind | This week's episode is a transmission straight from my personal transformation. I share what's been moving through me over the past month - a deep reckoning with ego death(s), an awareness of plutophobia (the fear of wealth), and the fear of leaving people behind. These aren't just individual experiences; they're collective initiations that so many Indigenous women and men are navigating as we rise, reclaim, and remember. I open up about what these experiences have looked and felt like for me, how they're connected to ancestral trauma and colonial conditioning, and what it takes to move through them. This is for anyone who's walking through a portal of becoming and needs a reminder that you are not alone - you are breaking cycles and building legacy. In this episode, I explore: What plutophobia really is and how it blocks Indigenous wealth and success How guilt can hold us back from our potential The sacred unraveling of an ego death and what it looks like How to reframe success so you don't fear abandoning your people LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program | — | ||||||
