The waiting list is officially OPEN for the Ritual Retreat, our first international experience that will be in Costa Rica from November 6 - 13, 2023!
Hello, future ancestors!
Lately I've been in sloth training, and that means slowing down while learning how to still feel safe doing so.
It's been over three months since I've returned from my sabbatical, and coming back to Los Angeles was a lot to take in after being unplugged. And so many of you may know that I ended up spending time on a farm watching over nine goats, five chickens, five cats and two dogs for my friend Montez as she was out of town. I tried to use that time to refocus on coming back strong, but instead I preferred to hang out with the goats. I would highly encourage you to listen to my last solo episode about lessons in farm sitting if you'd like to hear more about that experience. And what many people don't know is that I actually left the farm to work at an event in Florida where I was asked to help coach a training for about 100 aspiring speakers. But I ended up with Laryngitis that whole entire week.
Main topics discussed:
Scaling a business: is it worth it?Finding congruency between hedonism and spiritual livingTrusting that less is more as a collective desireHow to release responsibility for other peopleâs sufferingWhy Iâm hosting an international retreat centered on storytelling and sensualityThe waiting list is officially OPEN for the Ritual Retreat, our first international experience that will be in Costa Rica from November 6 - 13, 2023!
Join Jumakae and friends for a week immersed in the Caribbean coast and rainforest alongside other women and gender expansive folks as we reconnect with ourselves as a future ancestors through mindfulness, movement, and the power of storytelling at the Goddess Garden.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I am with Karissa. She supports families in documenting the beautiful milestones of life as their personal biographer. Karissa's intention with her camera is that her subject, whether it be a family, an entrepreneur or a woman giving birth feels seen. Much more than a collection of moments, photographs become part of a family's historic archive. And as a creative entrepreneur, Karissa has supported small businesses with strategy, branding, and marketing. Her creative nature and personal journey have led her to incorporate energy healing, meditation, sound healing, and other personal healing modalities into her work. And more importantly, Karissa is the one person I have trusted into the sacred spaces I've created for my own students, my own clients with the retreats that I have facilitated. So if you are curious, who it is that takes my photos and takes the photos of my clients and then comes to the retreats to capture this magic, it is this woman, Karissa.
Main Topics Discussed:
The Importance of doula work in communities of colorGrief after giving birth and acknowledging emotionsBalance between documenting moments and being present in the momentCombining passion for photography with doula workThe Importance of Rituals in Rest and Connecting with SelfConclusion: Balancing work and personal life can be a struggle. It's important to acknowledge and respect your own needs in order to live harmoniously.
Action Integration: Give yourself permission to feel the things that come up for you. It's okay to not be okay. And it's okay to invite people to come in and help support you with love and compassion.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, we explore the disconnection between people and death and how it has led to fear and suffering with our guest, Mary Telliano. This episode invites us to reflect on our own mortality and examines death in a new light that allows us to connect with ourselves and our loved ones, and to celebrate the sacredness of the moment. Mary has a mission; to rebrand death. Through training other death doulas, to education on grief, as well as the Anam Cara Podcast. Mary is midwifing the rebirth of dying well. In order to rebrand death we must first normalize it. Mary is connecting people to the universe that resides within them, and serving as a reminder that death is here, it is something we get to experience and it is ready to be carried in a new light.
Main Topics Discussed:
Death as our greatest life coach (and preparation for our own)Honoring the choices of our loved ones in transitionHealing our relationship to lossWhen to call upon a death doulaChoosing our legacy as future ancestorsConclusion: Death is not the enemy; it is a mystery to be embraced. We can use our understanding of death to live life more fully. Cherish the moments, be present, and create a life that you want to be remembered for.
Action Integration: Reframe the way you view death, and seek to establish that death is a natural part of life that can be approached with clarity, intentionality, and care.

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Jayda Shuavarnnasri, aka âSex Positive Asian Auntieâ, a Queer Southeast Asian sexuality and relationship educator. She works to liberate folks from sexual shame by creating space for authentic conversations about sexuality, relationships, identity, and healing. She is also the co-producer of Donât Say Sorry podcast, which centers the experience of Southeast Asian women navigating relationships, mental health and sexuality.

Action Integration: To choose silence is to choose oppression. Show up as a badass ancestor in the making and shift the story for your future lineage.

Hello future ancestors!!
Welcome back to Your Story Medicine, episode one of season 3
If you are new to my work, welcome. I am June also known as Jumakae - which is a combination of my first, middle, and last name.
My medicine is supporting future ancestors like you with finding clarity in your message and confidence in your speaking so that you can share your story, grow your legacy, and heal generations before/after you.
And as your dedicated life doula, I hold space for the contractions that arise in your body as you begin to birth a new story for your life.
I am just returning from my first ever sabbatical, where I completely shut down my calendar for the past six months to explore this question of âWho am I when Iâm not in service?â
Episode Highlights:
Phone or flight? Disconnecting from technology to reconnect with my medicineLessons learned from being stuck in Peru during a political lockdownIntegrating from my first ayahuasca experience in the jungles of Costa RicaUnderstanding what it means to be bodhisattvaI have some incredible guests that Iâm excited to bring on this season, where we will dig deeper into plant medicine, ancestral healing, and entrepreneurship as sacred activism.
You donât have to be an entrepreneur btw, but at least can be mindful of the individuals and resources that are available to support you with being rooted in times of change.
We are retiring my 12 week signature program, Roots to Rise, to birth other sacred offerings that are going to require more of my time and energy, such as my own retreats, ceremonies, and workshops.
Instead, I am only running ONE mentorship program this year, Bud to Blossom, which is my six month mastermind to support changemakers, visionaries, and healers with scaling their existing offerings. This is especially helpful for those who already have a service, such as a private therapy, consulting, or coaching practice, and are now wanting to expand their medicine to include retreats, speaking, and workshops while learning how to get paid for it. People are craving in-person experiences now that the pandemic has eased out, so letâs make that transition together. I also love working with educators and professors who are ready to teach their wisdom outside of formal institutions while creating a sustainable model to make that happen.
We are in the process of unlearning to learn, while divesting resources to where it is we choose.
And while I can help people with creating a profitable and ethical business plan, whatâs most important to me is that we FEEL abundant beyond the numbers in our bank account.
Iâd rather financial abundance be the byproduct of us living in alignment and integrity with our values.
And if youâd like a taste of what this can look like, then sign up for my upcoming free upcoming workshop on âHow to Birth Your Sacred Offerings,â happening on Thursday, March 16 where Iâll teach you how to create a blueprint of possibilities thatâs aligned with the seasons of nature - which has allowed me to take winters off cuz I just notice that my body doesnât like to work at that time.
Youâll also get a replay to my last two workshops, How to Connect with Your Ancestors and Finding Clarity in Your Medicine â and all of these are going to be available until Bud to Blossom begins at the end of April.
So if you are in the season of receiving support to water the seeds youâve been planting, then I invite you to apply to Bud to Blossom which will be the only way to work with me closely this year.

Hello future ancestors,
I know itâs been a while - but I definitely have some updates on life and so many things that are unfolding, or better yet, unraveling.
As many of you know, I started Your Story Medicine with a deep curiosity about how to connect with my ancestors especially as someone who was born and raised in the United States, away from my parentsâ homeland and the kind of village support they were raised with.
In my previous solo podcast episode I announced that I would be taking a sabbatical for the remainder of the year to tend to my wellness and to reconnect with my own ancestors.
My intention was to return to Thailand to study with Homprang, the traditional midwife that originally taught me womb healing when I was propelled into this path after being fired from my nonprofit job in 2017, and I was so excited to be a student again. The last time I had been back to my motherland was before Your Story Medicine was even birthed which happened at the peak of my Saturn Return five years ago.
You can listen to my first episode ever to hear more, since this is what essentially sparked my path into ancestral reclamation and entrepreneurship. I essentially created the very space I needed at that time of my life, in a predominately white industry that was abundant with cultural appropriation and misrepresentation.
I thought that returning to Thailand this time would be a way for me to be reminded of my medicine, but spirit clearly had other plans for me.
And In this past month, my life has taken a very different turn.
Main Topics
Tasting my own bitter medicineNarratives that repel us from allowing love and abundance inResourcing my nervous system from the ways it has been interruptedConnecting with my ancestors through my eldersYour story medicine is a small family business, and I thank you for being a supporter, whether you've listened to this podcast or have been a client that has trusted me with your stories.
In the meantime, I invite you to subscribe to our email list if you're not on it yet by going to yourstorymedicine.com where you'll be the first to know about my return and upcoming offerings, or follow me on Instagram @jumakae where I'll rarely be posting nowadays.
May you find the resourcefulness within you, and may you remember that by simply existing in this moment, you are already your ancestors' wildest dreams come true.
Until next year!

Hello, future ancestors⊠and happy Lionâs Gate Portal that just recently passed.
I'm just returning from my very first wilderness backpacking trip ever!
If you listened to my last solo podcast episode about my time in Channel Island entitled: âEmergence: Reflections from a Post-Apocalyptic Worldâ, immersing myself in nature is where I feel the most abundant. And it's more than just pitching a tent, but the pilgrimage that it takes to get there. The days and months of training my mind and body for these experiences so that I can enjoy those evenings around the fire with a belly full of rehydrating food and laughter after a long day of trekking makes it all worth it.
On the days where I just didn't want to move my body leading up to this, I remembered the greater destination ahead - and so âone foot in front of the otherâ became a mantra to affirm that these small steps would eventually move from one mile to a hundred - or in our case, 25 miles.
It's also transferred into my personal life and legacy as I have a lot of time to clear my mind on these walks without any distraction.
Every time I've left, I come back feeling rejuvenated in my purpose and commitment to decolonization: Where indigenous people worldwide are at the center of these stories, where my connection to the cosmos deepens, and where my desire to care for Mother Earth strengthens.
After all, it's where we all will return when we become ancestors: back to stardust and soil. âš
Main topics discussed:
Reflecting on the impermanence of lifeHow often do you take time to meditate on deathAnger as an indicator of something that is not in alignmentHow you were able to forgive versus holding on to guilt, shame, and resentment.Becoming masterful at tending to your fires.By the way, my sabbatical is coming up in a month and before then Iâll be hosting a mixer on Saturday, August 27 for anyone that Iâve had the privilege to work with. Iâve hired my photographer, Karissa of Olive La Vida, to capture people in their medicine and weâll also have some other alumni offering their medicine, from sound healing to tea ceremony and a dinner provided by Plantberri - who also catered our retreat.
Spots are limited and this will also serve as my going away party so Iâd love to see you there.

Nishaâs lived experience, clinical experience, fascination with language, collective mindset, and passion for connecting with others combined with her anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and feminist beliefs are central to her work in this space.

Main topics discussed:
Questions that have kept me up at nightThe risk of negative feedback in running an online business and being very visibleWhat the Chumash people of Limuw (Channel Island) taught me about Emergent StrategyLiving in a modern day post-apocalyptic worldHow colonization shows up in meQuestions to other healers, space holders, and coaches that are using entrepreneurship as sacred activism.
Who has a say when it comes to providing feedback to our services?
Is it paid clients only?
Is it a community? Is it anonymous strangers on the internet that claim to have been triggered by what was said?
Are triggers an indicator of something that is wrong, or an invitation for further introspection?
What is considered harm anyway?
Do other people actually cause harm, or is it self-inflicted when we create narratives in our mind about other peopleâs intentions that actually donât have anything to do with us at all?
Am I gaslighting myself?
How much healing is actually the responsibility of the individual who was harmed vs the person who supposedly caused harm and what is the communityâs role in achieving some form of justice?
What is community anyway?
Are you still listening?
Who gets to be the expert of decolonization?
Should I refrain from even using it as a non-indigenous person to this nation?
What are the ways colonization has played out outside of the United States?
How does US imperialism still impact other countries?
What is white supremacyâs role in the ways we experience lateral violence and oppress one another as people of the global majority aka people of color?
What about colonization that existed prior to European conquest?
Where and how does the colonizer show up within me?
Am I conflict avoidant, or am I just protecting my energy?
These are some of the questions that have kept me up at night, hence why slowing down and taking a big fat sacred pause has been a necessity for my own mental and spiritual health.
And sometimes, the answers are the questions themselves.

Hello future ancestors!
Welcome to another solo podcast episode of Your Story Medicine. Iâm your host, Jumakae - and I wanted to expand on what it means to charge for your worth.
If you were not at my last workshop where I dug deeper into this, one of the things I mentioned is how it is inherently problematic to even talk about charging for our worth.
Why? Because your worth is priceless.
Your value cannot be quantified.
If we are equating our self worth to our net worth, then we will continue to allow the numbers in our bank account to reflect how it is we feel about ourselves.
And that, my friends, is a symptom of internalized capitalismâŠ
Now, is capitalism a bad thing?
As someone who came from communities that identified as anti-capitalist, I made the mistake of believing that money is evil and bad.
