Let’s talk about  our relationship with water—not just as a tool for hydration, but as a sacred, living relative.In this episode, “Sacred Hydration: Infusions, Ancestors & Listening to Water”, Valerie explores how water draws out memory, medicine, and meaning from the world around us. Joined by special guest Mariah Gladstone (Blackfeet, Cherokee) – founder of Indigikitchen and author of Mountains to Oceans: Kids’ Recipes from Native Land, they share stories, wisdom, and even a recipe demonstration that reframes water as kin. This conversation reminds us of water’s teachings and its sacred power to heal. Because water remembers. It listens. And it deserves more than just mindless consumption—it deserves reverence for all the quiet miracles and great healing it carries.Resources & How To Support Us:Follow Mariah Gladstone @mariahgladstone and Indigikitchen – an online cooking platform revitalizing Indigenous foods.
