The Pulse: We Are The Living Record

"It’s that feeling of instantly knowing how to do something or recognizing a location you've never visited."

In the premiere episode, Dainese deFreynes introduces the concept of Blood Memory—the inherited wisdom and ancestral intuition that shapes our identities on a cellular level.

From the magnetic pull of the American South to the physical manifestations of history within our own bodies, this episode explores why we are drawn to certain places and behaviors without even knowing why.

We look at the mass migration back to the Southern epicenter and ask the hard questions about what our ancestors left behind in our DNA.

This is an invitation to look beneath our modern lives and recognize that we are the living record of everyone who came before us.

It’s time to listen to the instinct.
