About Learn My Heritage with Me

Learning My Heritage With Me is a personal journey of reclamation. Hosted by Meri Bennett, a Diné woman raised off the reservation, this podcast explores reconnecting with heritage after generational disruption. Through reflection and lived experience, Meri documents her path toward Hózhó—balance, harmony, and alignment. This is not ceremony or representation of all voices, but a personal journey shared in real time.

Episode 4 - Honeeshgish Baa Hashne' The Fire Poker Story

In this episode of Learn My Heritage with Me, I explore Honeeshgish Baa Hashne’ (the Fire Poker Story)—a Diné teaching about fire, balance, and responsibility. This story isn’t just about how fire began… it’s about how to create, sustain, and guide energy in our lives. From the moment fire was introduced as a life-sustaining element by Haashch’éélti’i (Talking God), to the realization that balance—female and male elements working together—was required for it to even start… This teaching shows us: * Why balance is necessary for creation * Why starting something is only the beginning * And why guidance and responsibility are required to sustain it Fire is life. But it can also destroy if misused. And that same truth exists within us. ✨ This episode connects Diné teachings to modern life—helping us reflect on our emotions, energy, relationships, and how we show up in the world. Disclaimer: The teachings shared here are publicly available. I am not sharing ceremony and do not speak for all Diné people. This is a personal reclamation—spoken out loud—so it can root deeper within me. 🔥 Reflect with me: Where is your fire right now? Are you creating balance… or forcing something? What is helping you guide and ground your energy?

Episode 3 - Staying Within the Light

In Episode 3 of Learn My Heritage With Me, I’m reflecting on the Diné teaching of Staying Within the Light of Life—and what it truly means to live in alignment, protection, and clarity. Building from the last episode on Hooghan Alignment, we explore the deeper meaning of the fire—kǫʼ—and how staying close to that “light” is more than symbolic. It’s instruction. Through this, I share my own realization that the moments I’ve felt most disconnected weren’t random—they were times I had stepped outside of my own alignment… outside of hózhó. This episode also acknowledges a deeper truth—how forced assimilation disrupted connection to language, teachings, and identity for many of us. And how this journey isn’t just about learning… It’s about returning. Returning to what was always within us. This is a personal reclamation—spoken out loud—so it can root deeper within me. If it resonates with you, you’re not alone in that feeling of something missing… and that pull to reconnect. The teachings I share here are publicly available. I am not sharing ceremony. I am not speaking for all Diné people. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and walk your own path— Hózhóogo naasháa doo — I walk in beauty. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share to support this journey 💬 Leave a comment—what does “alignment” feel like for you?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
