The Healing is the personal story of Saeeda Hafiz and a true page-turner. Saeeda is an African American woman who grew up in impoverished conditions and an abusive family. Her idea out of misery was to uplevel herself into the middle class. While having been successful career wise in most people’s perception, she yearned for more. A cooking class opened her eyes to more than just the normal sense of success. She started exploring natural healing methods, in particular food as medicine and yoga as a pathway to more happiness. Saeeda discovered that being truly happy is not only about having more money and a better career but that releasing undigested thoughts, feelings and traumas from the past are a crucial component to being joyful at the core.

THE HEALING One Woman’s Journey from Poverty to Inner Riches SHOW GUEST: Saeeda Hafiz In this memoir of upward mobility through an unexpected route, a young African American woman signs up for lessons in yoga and clean eating as signifiers of her new middle-class status, little realizing that her new lifestyle will bring her face to face with the inner demons fed by the domestic violence, addiction, and poverty she witnessed as a child. Graduating, getting established in your career, and dating another professional are things many young women expect to do and take for granted. But when your parents don't support you and you have siblings in prison, those milestones seem monumental. What does growing up poor do to your self-esteem? How do patterns of stress and family violence, poor diet and poor health continue to affect you even after you escape to a higher income bracket? And what can one woman do to turn around the cycle of racism, poverty, and intergenerational suffering? In The Healing Saeeda Hafiz gives a frank account of the anxiety and rewards of becoming "middle class" through a complete change of diet and adopting habits such as traveling and doing yoga. While her peers pursue one kind of American dream by climbing the corporate ladder, Hafiz finds meaning in learning to cook macrobiotic food and practicing meditation and yoga. By doing so, she recovers from chronic health conditions and heals from the family trauma she has inherited.

Kathryn interviews amateur primatologist Dale Peterson PhD, author of “The Ghosts of Gombe: A True Story of Love and Death in an African Wilderness”. In 1969 a volunteer at Dr. Jane Goodall's famous chimpanzee research camp followed a chimpanzee into the forest. Six days later, her body was found. Peterson reveals the story of day-to-day life in Goodall's camp and the astonishing friendships that developed between the researchers and the chimpanzees during the months preceding that tragic event. Kathryn also interviews Saeeda Hafiz, author of “The Healing: One Woman's Journey from Poverty to Inner Riches”. As a child growing up in a suburb of Pittsburgh the concept of being middle class seemed out of reach for Hafiz. Hafiz shares her story of becoming her first sibling to graduate college, and how her pursuit of learning to cook macrobiotic food and practicing meditation and yoga has helped her recover from chronic health conditions and heal from the family trauma she has inherited.
