Rimsha Ward, originating from Pakistan, is a mystic healer and medicine woman who has navigated the effects of colonization and ancestral trauma. Her diverse background, which includes experiences in the Marines, engineering, and a lifelong journey of self-discovery, has guided her toward her role as a conduit for ancient wisdom and collective healing. Rimsha's perspective on her healing practices is deeply influenced by her commitment to the ancient wisdom of her ancestors, and she is driven by a profound desire to rekindle these forgotten practices. Despite the challenges and potential rejection she might face, Rimsha is determined to depart from modern spiritual practices to embrace a more authentic, communal approach to healing. She envisions a world where healing is facilitated through playful connections with nature, animals, and the Earth, working towards reawakening ancient codes dismissed due to colonization. She sees herself as part of a more significant movement to promote harmony and reawaken these ancestral practices.

In this episode, we delve into the insightful journey of Jasmine Cochran, an accomplished writer whose experiences in China profoundly shaped her understanding of racism and cultural dynamics. With a background in English literature, Jasmine embarked on a transformative adventure when she and her husband and two daughters relocated to China.

Living in China provided Jasmine with a firsthand encounter with various facets of racism, both in urban centers and rural areas. Despite facing instances of prejudice, she also discovered the warmth and hospitality of the Chinese people, painting a nuanced picture of her experiences. These encounters sparked Jasmine's commitment to challenging ingrained beliefs and fostering critical thinking.

After years immersed in Chinese culture, Jasmine and her family returned to America to care for her father in his final days. This transition offered Jasmine a unique perspective on racial issues, particularly observing the willingness of Chinese students to question traditional beliefs and engage in discussions on race.

Jasmine's journey is captured in her life experiences and her book, "Keep Waking Up in the Mourning." The book pays tribute to her father while offering solace and guidance to those navigating grief. Jasmine aims to inspire change and progress in racial understanding and cultural acceptance through her writing and advocacy.

Join us as we explore Jasmine's compelling narrative, filled with insights, reflections, and a hopeful vision for a more inclusive future.
