In this episode, Erica shares about facing disappointment and feeling difficult emotions. Topics she mentions are: compassion, suffering, love, acceptance, rejection, disappointment, accepting “no”, showing up for ourselves and others through the experience of feelings, helping children feel their feelings, and breaking up with pity. She also mentions the ancestral and cultural traumas of the last 110 years and how these generational wounds led us away from allowing the natural state of emotion to exist. Erica muses about the Dagara (and perhaps many other indigenous peoples) being the past and the future of human exist on Earth.
