In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Tello, a powerful voice in the realms of indigenous advocacy, environmental justice, and community-centered philanthropy. Amanda shares her personal journey of reconnecting with her ancestral roots, the Esselen tribe, and how this has informed her holistic approach to healing, activism, and supporting marginalized communities. Through Amanda's insightful perspective, we explore the deep interconnectedness between the earth, our collective grief, and the urgent need for a paradigm shift in how we relate to the natural world. She eloquently articulates the earth's response to our disconnection, framing it as a call to action to address the generational trauma and systemic oppression that has severed our bonds with the land and our communities. Amanda's wisdom and passion shine through as she discusses the importance of embodying joy and self-care as acts of resistance against the capitalist and colonial structures that seek to exploit and disconnect us. Her insights on the power of community healing, the reclamation of indigenous practices, and the role of philanthropy in supporting grassroots movements are both inspiring and thought-provoking. Whether you're a personal development enthusiast, an environmental advocate, or someone seeking to deepen your understanding of indigenous wisdom and liberation movements, this episode is a must-listen.
