Some rituals were chosen.

Others… were absorbed.

This episode explores the invisible inheritance we carry—the habits, beliefs, and traditions passed down through generations, often without question. The things we do without knowing why. The words, rhythms, and roles we stepped into before we had the language to name them.

But what happens when those rituals no longer fit?

When a practice that once felt sacred starts to feel like a performance?

When a tradition wrapped in love also carries the weight of silence, shame, or survival?

In this deeply reflective chapter of the Roots & Rituals series, we’re untangling what’s ours to keep, what’s ready to be released, and how to make space for rituals rooted not in repetition—but in truth.

This episode is a gentle call to inventory the emotional and spiritual routines we inherited…

and the beginning of choosing again.
