“Week 2, Day 14: Afraid to Connect With Your Ancestors?”

If you’re feeling afraid to connect with your ancestors, let me tell you something: you’re not alone.

Fear doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you’re standing at the threshold of something sacred.

This week in 30 Days of Ancestral Healing, as part of Altars, Offerings & Honoring, today’s focus is:
“I’m scared to connect… what now?”

Here’s the truth:
Your fear is sacred.
Your resistance is part of your remembering.
You are the altar.
You are the offering.
You are the answer.

If you’re ready to go deeper, here are ways to work with me and the lineage of ancestral medicine:

Your ancestors are patient, and they’re waiting for your presence.

“If You’ve Been Waking Up at 3AM… This One’s for You.”

If you’ve been popping awake at 3 AM, hearing songs out of nowhere, smelling scents that aren’t in your house, or watching your tech glitch like it’s possessed — listen closely.
Your ancestors are trying to get your attention… and baby, they’re not being subtle about it. ✨

These aren’t coincidences.
These are spiritual notifications.
And in this week’s installment of 30 Days of Ancestral Healing: I Am the Altar, I Am the Answer, we’re diving deep into the signs they send when they want you to pause, listen, and remember exactly who TF you are.

Because here’s the truth:
📿 You are the altar.
🕯️ You are the offering.
💥 You are the answer.

So stay tuned, and then tell me:
Which sign has been hitting you the hardest lately?
Because once Spirit starts speaking… you can’t un-hear it.

Listen up, hallowed ones: energetic hygiene isn’t optional. It’s spiritual respect. Period.

If your ancestor altar is looking like a dusty bodega shelf in July — crusty offerings, swampy water, and zero love — you’re not honoring. You’re hoarding. 🙃

In this episode, I’m walking you through a no-nonsense limpia to:

• Refresh your altar

• Renew your connection with your ancestors

• Show proper respect to the spirits who got you here

Because let’s be real: your lineage deserves more than leftovers and neglect.
Your altar deserves your energy, intention, and devotion.

Let’s get something straight: ancestral veneration is not a trend.
It’s not a religion.
It’s not a Pinterest altar flex.

It’s sacred.
It’s ancient.
And yes — it’s your birthright.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down 11 ancestral myths that need to die, especially the ones wrapped in colonizer fear, TikTok confusion, and plain misinformation.

And just to be clear: in some lineages, we honor animals, elements, land, and nature as ancestors — and that is beautiful, powerful, and valid. 🌿🦅🔥

But today? I’m talking about your human ancestors — the ones in your bloodline who walked this earth, loved hard, made mistakes, and passed down both their dreams and their wounds.

Whether you know their names or not…
They know you.
They’ve been waiting for you to remember:
You are the altar. You are the answer.

So, listen closely:
🕯️ Watch, listen, and reflect.
💬 Tag someone who’s ready to reconnect with their lineage.
🔁 Share if this cracked something open for you.

Because ancestral work? It’s not cute.
It’s real. It’s raw. It’s sacred.

“Coffee? Fruit? Florida Water? Let’s Talk Offerings.”

Alright y’all… some of you are out here giving your ancestors everything but the chancleta — so let’s break this down before your altar turns into a buffet line or a fruit-fly nightclub.

Today, we’re talking offerings:
What to give, when to give it, and how to give it with intention instead of chaos.

In this episode, I get into:

🧭 Directional offerings — East, South, West, and North, and what each direction traditionally receives
💀 Día de los Muertos ofrendas — what they truly represent and why they’re so powerful
🕯️ Memorial altars & bóveda espiritual setups — the difference and how to know which one is for you
🍞 How long to leave food, drinks, fruits, sweets, and coffee — because no, your offering is not supposed to be a science experiment
🐾 What to do if you’ve got pets — and why you should never leave offerings out on a paper plate unless you like chaos

Because here’s the truth:
Offerings aren’t aesthetic.
They’re not props for social media.
They’re an act of sacred reciprocity, spiritual maintenance, and real connection with your lineage.

Your ancestors don’t want the whole pantry — they want intention, gratitude, and consistency.

You are the altar.
You are the answer.
Act like it.

Let me tell you something real quick:
You don’t need money.
You don’t need crystal chalices.
You don’t need a luxury botanica haul to honor your lineage.

You just need intention.

Your ancestors are not checking for marble statues, curated aesthetics, or $80 candles.
They’re checking for you.
Your presence. Your honesty. Your heart.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking it down like we’re on FaceTime together:

• How to create an altar using everyday items
• Why a simple glass of water and a candle can open the portal
• And most importantly—why YOU are the real altar

Because ancestral healing doesn’t start with what’s expensive.
It starts with what’s real.
What’s accessible.
What’s already in your home and already in your spirit.

And if you’re feeling called to go deeper with your practice, I got you:

Your ancestors aren’t waiting for perfection.
They’re waiting for you.

Let me clear something up right from the jump:
Altars are not spooky.
They’re not creepy.
They’re not some haunted movie moment.

Altars are sacred spaces of connection. Period.

In this week’s episode—part of WEEK 2 in the Altars, Offerings & Honoring series—I’m breaking down what an ancestor altar actually is… and what it absolutely is not.

From the bóveda espiritual,
to a Día de los Muertos ofrenda,
to Indigenous altar practices honoring the Four Directions…

I’m walking you through what these spaces mean, how they’re used, and why your lineage has been waiting for you to remember who you are.

We talk water.
We talk offerings.
We talk boundaries.
And we talk truth—real truth.

Because this isn’t about spooky aesthetics.
This is about spiritual maintenance.
About ancestral healing.
About building a legacy rooted in love, remembrance, and respect.

And here’s the best part:
You don’t have to know every ritual.
You don’t have to get it perfect.

You just have to be willing to start.

Your ancestors are listening.
The real question is…
Are you listening back?

Let me free somebody’s mind real quick:
You do not need an altar to start ancestral work.

You don’t need candles.
You don’t need crystals.
You don’t need a perfectly curated ritual setup.

What you do need is intention, consistency, and a little honesty with yourself.
That’s it.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to begin connecting with your ancestors — even if you don’t have tools, don’t have privacy, and don’t have a clue where to start.

This is real-world ancestral work.
Not aesthetic. Not performative. Not Instagram.

I’m talking about:
🗣️ Prayer that sounds like you, not a sermon.
🙏 Acknowledgment that feels natural, not forced.
🌙 Dreams that are actually visitations and messages.

By the end of this episode, I’ll also walk you through ways to go deeper — whether you’re brand new to this or you’re ready to commit to the path:

🧬 Ancestors Among Us Webinar — The who, what, why, and how of ancestral work, in real language.
🕊️ Guided Meditation — A pre-recorded journey to safely meet an ancestor.
🔥 Transformational Programs — Every single one rooted in deep ancestral healing and spiritual accountability.

Your ancestors don’t need you to be perfect.
They just need you to be present.

If you’re ready to begin… press play, breathe, and let’s get into it.
