Walking the Red Road As Best We Can with Esmeralda Hummingbird

Today's episode is a great one. Esmeralda shares her story with love and humor as she explains the red road, the good road, the respectful road, and how to walk the red road as best we can. Learning how to love yourself. Looking into indigenous spirituality and awareness. Being sober, the Medicine Wheel and 12 Step Program. Having her first daughter at seventeen, Esmeralda felt like a child having a child. Growing up in Bonsall California around farming and tending the land, she carries that passion today and knows what she wants to do for the rest of her life, to live off the land! We hear a woman in the struggle, a single mother, drug and alcohol addictions and the beauty in recovery. We talk about the intergenerational trauma that's built up everywhere and the life tools we've lost because of it. Esmeralda shares how she recovered herself and how she's helping others by asking for forgiveness, practicing good communication, loving herself, and not being afraid to ask for help. Esmeralda awesomely initiates Healing Circles as a Firestarter and works with indigenous communities for the Wellbriety movement to help heal her community and people. Teaching her daughters how to be sustainable beings, encouraging lots of outdoor nature-based understanding and learning respect for yourself and the earth.
