013 - Altars, Visitations, and the Love That Doesn’t Die

💫 Altars, Visitations, and the Love That Doesn’t Die is anepisode about lineage, legacy, and love that transcends time—because healing, too, continues beyond this life.As Día de los Muertos approaches—traditionally celebrated on November 1st and 2nd—I’ve been reflecting on how love continues to show up long after our loved ones have passed.In this special episode of Dear Babygurl, I explore the ways my family and I stay connected to our ancestors, and how those connections continue to guide us in our daily lives.I share stories that remind us the veil betweenworlds is thinner than we think:✨ My son Mateo’s visits on the schoolyard with a kind “older lady” who turned out to be his great-grandmother, Nana.✨ My youngest, Santi, sleeping in his queer great-uncle’s faded baby-blue farmworker shirt—carrying forward a lineage of justice and love.✨ My feisty tía Marta, who appears during a psychic reading—first as Frida Kahlo, then as a graceful dancer, whole and free in the beyond.✨ The hummingbirds that visit me after my Abuelito Ipolito’s passing, and the angel numbers that follow—reminders that I’m guided, held, and never alone.These visitations—through dreams, songs, andwings—remind me that our ancestors are never far. They live through our stories, our courage, and the way we love.So as we approach this season of remembrance, I invite you to reflect:> Who walks with you?> Whose laughter or strength still lives in your bones?> And what offerings—stories, songs, or flowers—might you place on your altar this week?Because the truth is, we never really lose them. We just learn new ways to stay in conversation.🎧 Subscribe and share with anyone who needs this.💬 Connect with me on IG @_colibricoaching and let me know what lands for you.Thanks for listening.
