How to Face Your Ancestors' Choices Even When It's Hard

All of your ancestors were perfect, right? Unfortunately, everyone has ancestors who disappoint us with their choices.
In this episode, I talk about four ways we respond when we discover an ancestor made choices that hurt others.
As we learn to be more open to putting our ancestors' choices into the context of their lives we can see them as real people, living with the effects of their environment, the choices of their family members and others around them, as well as their own choices.
An added bonus is that as we learn the skill of being observant of our ancestors, we can also use that skill in our interactions here and now.
