What if the healing you've been searching for has been with you all along?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Erica Vigil-Flores—author of Healing with Dirt, nurse, midwife, death doula, curandera, and medicine woman—to explore the ancient healing traditions that have been quietly passed down through generations and why so many of us are now feeling called to remember them.

Together, we journey through the rich cultural traditions of Northern New Mexico, the wisdom of our ancestors, Curanderismo, earth medicine, and the lasting effects of colonization on our relationship with healing, faith, and ourselves. Erica shares how reconnecting with the land, our intuition, and our ancestral practices can help us reclaim what has always been ours.

We also dive into the sacred work of birth and death, the difference between religion and faith, the Witch Wound, spiritual gifts, remedios, and the everyday medicines hiding in our homes, our gardens, and our communities.

Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or already walking a spiritual path, this conversation is a gentle invitation to remember your roots, trust your inner wisdom, and reconnect with the sacred medicine that surrounds you every day.

In this episode, we explore:
• What Curanderismo really is and why it's still relevant today
• The healing wisdom of our ancestors
• Colonization and the loss of traditional healing practices
• Earth medicine and building a relationship with the land
• Spiritual gifts and learning to trust your intuition
• Birth, death, and healing through life's sacred transitions
• The difference between religion and faith
• Practical remedios for the body, mind, and soul

Goldie Matthew.

She walks into a room, shakes her golden curls, and instantly the room feels different.
Goldie is a joy to know. One simple conversation is laden with hope, inspiration, education, laughter, wisdom... She is a master teacher that has designed a life of joy, freedom, and abundance… and it's made her rich.

The way she thinks, her big heart, her desire to help others is inspiring but also educational. Get ready to take notes.

Here are just a few of the Goldie nuggets from our conversation:

✨ “Never pass up an opportunity to make a new friend or experience something new.”
This is the motto she lives by, and it's given her permission to do the things that make us nervous - things like get to know interesting people, go on amazing trips, start businesses.

✨ She became the #1 sales rep at Tastefully Simple in ONE year.
Not by luck but by breaking big goals into small, consistent actions and staying committed.

✨ She doesn’t rely on one income stream.
She built multiple streams of income — from business, to real estate, to community experiences, creating true freedom in her life.

✨ “Find someone smarter than you and learn from them.”
She credits her success to this one principle. No ego. Just learning.

✨ “Go see how you can help other people first.”
Her secret to networking, business, and life? Lead with an authentic desire to see how you can serve and help others — everything else flows from there.

Goldie calls herself a “daily spreader of love and joy.”

And she means it.

From hosting motivational movie nights in her home…
to sending daily messages that uplift others…
to building businesses that bring people together…

She’s not just making money.

She’s shining her unique light everywhere she goes, raising the vibration of every room she enters. Her energy uplifts and in that vibe, her life overflows with abundance.

If you’ve been asking yourself:

✨ What is my contribution?
✨ How do I create a life that feels aligned and abundant?
✨ How do I actually start?

This episode is for you.
