In this tender and spiritually charged episode, Fi sits with Native elder, healer, and teacher Brenda Poitra to explore what real healing looks like when it’s not filtered through productivity, politeness, or perfection. Together, they unravel how grief, trauma, and even chaos hold structure — and how ceremony offers us a map back to ourselves.
This episode isn’t just a conversation — it’s a teaching.
Brenda shares how, in her traditions, everything that goes “wrong” in a ceremony isn’t an interruption — it’s part of the ceremony. And maybe the same is true for your life. Maybe the symptoms, the triggers, the emotional floods… are actually the sacred material ready to be seen and released.
🔑 Memorable Quotes:
“The healing starts the minute you say, ‘I want to heal.’” – Brenda Petra
“You don’t just clean with sage. You clean with truth.” – Brenda Petra
“You are the offering. You are the prayer.” – Brenda Petra
“Letting go is surrendering. It’s absolute.” – Brenda Petra
“Otter reminds us to come back to joy. Even now.” – Brenda Petra
“Gentleness is hard-earned. It shows up after the ego has exhausted every other path.” – Fi
“You can’t move through chaos with more chaos. You need structure. You need ceremony.” – Fi
🌿 Takeaways You Can Use Right Now:
✅ Let the mess happen. When things unravel, pause before fixing. Ask, “What’s trying to be released?”
✅ Speak truth as a cleansing tool. Sage isn’t enough if you’re avoiding what’s real.
✅ Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a medicine. Schedule sacred pauses. Take them seriously.
✅ Honor transitions like initiations. What if grief, burnout, or endings are rites of passage?
✅ Reclaim animal messengers. Pay attention to who shows up: otter, crow, dog, deer — they carry instructions.
✅ Create a personal ceremony. Light a candle. Say a prayer. Name what’s leaving. Invite what’s being born.
✅ Stop waiting to feel “ready.” The minute you say yes to healing, the process begins.
This conversation is for those who are:
In between lives or identities
Feeling like they’ve lost the thread
Trying to heal when the world won't pause
Longing for peace, but carrying too much grief to get there yet
Listen in. Let this be your reminder: you are not behind. You are in the ceremony.
