Curanderismo 101: Foundations of the Healing Path

Daniel Red Wolf Season 1 Episode 7

Mi gente… This episode is for anyone who’s ever burned sage, prayed to their ancestors, chugged their cafecito, and thought:

“Wait… am I supposed to be a healer, a therapist, or just a functional adult today?”

Today, we’re diving into the roots of Curanderismo. And no, it’s not just waving ramas around like you’re auditioning for a spiritual mariachi. It’s remembering who we are underneath all the crap this world layered on top of us.

Joining me is my friend, curandera-in-training, and intuitive healer Dora Praxadis. We talk about what curanderismo really is (spoiler: it’s not just your abuela’s vaporub hacks, though, respect to Vicks for always coming through).

This episode is for those of us who grew up with:

🫚 Teas for everything
🕯️ Prayers for every worry
🌬️ And someone burning something smoky whenever the vibes felt off

We talk about the moment curanderismo grabbed us by the shoulders and said, “Oye, wake up. We got ancestors to honor.”

We unpack:

🌱 What curanderismo really is beyond limpias and egg cleanses
🔥 The core principles that keep us grounded (and sometimes humble us real quick)
🧭 How to connect with ancestors even if you don’t know all their names
😂 Plus, Rapid Fire Healer Edition, because yes—this path is sacred but also hilarious sometimes.


✨ So if you’ve ever thought:

· “Am I too woo for work and too rational for my altar?”
· “How do I honor my lineage when I feel disconnected from it?”
· “Why does Spirit always drag me mid-limpia?”

This episode is for you.

Come for the ancestral wisdom, stay for the chisme and healer confessions. Because healing? It’s sacred, messy, and sometimes sounds like your abuela yelling at you for leaving your limpia bowl out overnight.

🕯️🔥 So light your candle, grab your cafecito, and come sit with us.

We’re remembering who we are, one story at a time.
