Ep. 13: Animism, Ancestral Connection & the Quest for Belonging with Jenn Campus

Jenn Campus is a two-time best-selling author, anthropologist, and animist dedicated to helping others reconnect with the old ways. Jenn weaves together the threads of folklore, animism, plant wisdom, and sacred homemaking to support a life rooted in ancestral wisdom. As an immigrant, mother to two neurodivergent children, and a lifelong student of myth and tradition, she brings a deeply lived perspective on how our differences are actually ancient gifts, passed down through our bloodlines to help us thrive. Her work invites individuals and families alike to find connection, meaning, and magic in daily life through ritual, story, and the turning of the year.   In this conversation Jenn shares her journey from a forest homestead in Vermont to her husband's ancestral homeland in Sardinia. Jillian and Jenn explore themes of ancestral wisdom, animism, and the quest for belonging in a modern world. Discover how Jenn weaves folklore, plant wisdom, and sacred homemaking into a life rooted in tradition and connection to the land.
