Eps 2: The Initiation that Rewrote our Names, Beliefs, and Identity with Nisha Moodley

In this second episode of Ancestral Medicine, we go deep into our 18 month initiation that we didn’t even know was happening until after it was over!

300-plus ceremonies, de-conditioning at a cellular level and the deepest return to truth - which involved releasing incomes, friendships and complete identities to return to being in right relationship with The Grandmother, the ancestors and ourselves. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Why “truth work” is about more than honesty - it means releasing inherited programming, fear, and false identities
• How colonial Christianity weaponized sacrifice, original sin, and shame to disconnect people from their ancestries
• Why plant medicine, when approached sacredly, is a journey of deep liberation rather than a quick fix
• The power of names as sacred agreements, protection, and our connection back to our well ancestry. 

This conversation also exposes the subtle ways colonized thinking shows up in modern healing spaces - from transactional spirituality to the pressure to “get healed” and move on. Instead, we share how slow, ancestral, deeply rooted transformation cannot be rushed, faked, or outsourced.

If you’re ready to rethink healing, religion, ancestry, and what true reclamation can ask of us, this episode is essential listening.
