Asha Frost is an Indigenous Medicine Woman and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. She is the best selling author of You are the Medicine, and has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation. Asha is from the Crane Clan, the totem of leadership, and believes in holding space from vision and heart. As an energy healer, homeopath, and mentor, Asha has blended her life experience with her innate gifts and the wisdom of her Ancestors.  She loves sharing her Medicine in powerful ways through Ceremonies, teachings, and speaking events. Through this work, she loves seeing people reclaim their roots, find their healing wisdom, and rise into their power.

In the conversation today, Asha recalls her experience of writing her book as being so similar to a birth, and the challenges that came with the creative process in a lockdown period. We hear about her latest project, an oracle deck, and how her diagnosis with lupus redirected her in early adulthood. Asha shares about her intentions to help others rise into their power by unwinding from the systemic damage and impact, as well as how the essence of children weaves into her work.
