Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Reese Sabatini Blake—an Indigenous medicine woman with a background in high-risk social work—for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of healing: what actually helps people rebuild their lives after trauma.
We talk about why creativity is not optional—not for individuals, not for society. It is a stabilizer. A meaning-maker. A way the nervous system speaks when words fail. Reese shares her personal journey of overcoming paralysis and how that lived experience shaped her work supporting others through trauma recovery using Indigenous medicine and holistic practices.
We also explore the complicated relationship many of us have with modern treatment: the benefits and limitations of pharmaceuticals, the reality that medication can help some people and still not be the whole answer, and why it is worth having honest conversations about natural remedies, lifestyle supports, and alternative options—especially when medication access and affordability are major barriers.
This is not “either/or.” It is “what works, what’s safe, what’s sustainable.” We focus on mindset, personal well-being, and the kind of support systems that make healing more than a moment—something you can actually live inside.
