Hester Van Hooven Ward

Ceremonial facilitator and coach Hester Van Hoeven Ward joins me to discuss spiritual awakenings, motherhood, breaking toxic patterns, and returning to herself in the desert. We trace her journey from New York and Venice Beach to Landers, Kenya, and back to Joshua Tree, exploring how joy can endure—a quiet flame—even during our darkest nights. We also briefly touch on her work with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples and what it means to live as an ally, a mother, and a mystic in everyday life.
