Episode 19: Loneliness, Sisterhood and Ancestral Wisdom as our Salve with Becca Piastrelli
“ This is how we remember and this is how we refine ourselves and this is how we forgive ourselves.”
-Becca Piastrelli, The Everything Belongs Podcast
Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Becca Piastrelli. Becca is a writer, coach, and host of the Belonging podcast. She holds space for womxn to explore ancestral wisdom, connect with the earth, and find meaningful and inclusive sisterhood. In the age of loneliness, Becca shows us how to feel like we truly belong - to each other, to the earth, to a lineage, and to ourselves. In this episode, Madison and Becca dive into "whiteness" as a construct, how the amnesia of whiteness is affecting us and why gardening & sour dough bread baking excited people during the early lockdowns of Covid. Hint: it all has to do with connecting back to our tangible ancestral ways. This episode is a balm for those of us searching for a culture we never knew. Listen in here…
