Episode 146: The Indigenous Soul - Chapter Twelve

In this closing chapter of The Indigenous Soul, Julia opens the door to one of the most tender teachings: the movement from warriors of the fight to warriors of the light. She reflects on decades of working with male energy, the wounds carried across generations, and the path home to soul remembrance through choice, compassion, and innate wisdom. This episode offers grounded guidance for anyone walking beside a loved one—or themselves—through the fog of mental health challenges.
