From a Locked Door to Ancestors Waking Her Up at 2:58AM

Marla Teyolia grew up four miles from the Mexican border, the only one in her family born in the United States. In her 20s, she was meditating behind a locked bedroom door so her mother would not see her. Thirty years later, she runs a coaching firm, works with executives at some of the world's most powerful institutions, and still communes with her ancestors every morning. She never had to choose between those worlds. She just had to wait until the roots were strong enough. This is a conversation about curanderismo and what it actually is, about the gold necklace that broke in the ocean when she was ten and what it meant, about the night the ancestors woke her up at 2:58AM with instructions, and about why she believes you cannot AI your way out of the need to reconnect with your humanity.
