What changes the day you stop asking someone else for the answer and finally ask yourself?

In the second of a two-part conversation, Julia Carmen sits back down with her granddaughter, Juliana Guerrero, and follows the thread back to ancestors, heritage, and what Julia calls the female frequency of being — the creative force that makes and remakes the world, squashed for a long time and now waking back up.

At the heart of the episode is a story Juliana has carried for years: leading a group to a ceremony site in Montana, losing the way, and finding it again only when she stopped, breathed, and followed a little girl down a lavender trail — running like she had run her whole life. Watching from a distance, Julia's sister saw a white-tailed deer where Juliana stood. Julia names what that is: a witness, so we can trust that what we felt was real.

They close in the practice of it — soul listening, stillness, community, and Juliana's turn toward asking herself instead of always asking her grandmother. You are the genius of you. Be still, and listen.

This completes the two-part conversation that began in Episode 172.
