We discuss what fragmentation means on a personal and cultural level, how it affects our lives, emotions and relationships, and what it looks like to heal those fragmentations. She also explains how the 4 aspect - Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit play their own roles in growth and healing and the importance of consulting all, not just relying on one.

Kristi has started her own podcast, The Songa Show,  exploring what it means to live a spiritually guided, purpose-driven life that’s rooted in harmony with the planet.
