What if medicine wasn’t just something prescribed… but something that reconnects us to ourselves?

In this tender and deeply reflective episode of Living in 3D Power, Amber and Emma explore the idea of “mental medicine” after Amber’s 3D Power Pause conversation with death doula and therapist The Ancestral Healing Collective founder TaLisa Ramos.

Together, they unpack grief, ancestry, storytelling, food, family, community, and the sacred question:
What kind of ancestor are you becoming right now?

Emma shares that medicine for her is “family, friends, and food,” while Amber reflects on the healing power of remembering our elders as people who once carried dreams too.

The episode moves through conversations about:

•  Death doulas and grief work 
•  Emotional heaviness in today’s world 
•  Why storytelling is medicine 
•  Black ancestry, belonging, and identity 
•  Remembering the dreams of our parents and grandparents 
•  The Disney movie Coco and what it means to be remembered 
•  Becoming “good ancestors in training” 

This episode is both a conversation and an invitation:
 to slow down,
 to remember,
 and to ask what kind of legacy we are creating through the way we love and live.
