Ifetayo's wisdom and experience is legendary in the healing arts community in my area (and probably beyond!). I was so blessed to have her join me for this episode as we talk in depth about rites of passage - why they are important, what they can look like, how they can change a child's life and our personal experiences with rites of passage. Y'all curl up, grab a cup of tea, and enjoy this discussion with St. Helena Island's own Ifetayo White.
