What would it mean to heal the soul of a nation?

In this episode, we sit down with facilitator, author, and purpose expert Brandon Peele to explore a bold experiment in civic imagination: a National Pilgrimage across the United States culminating in a Mother’s Constitutional Convention.

Brandon describes the inspiration behind a cross-country pilgrimage visiting historic sites connected to American freedom struggles—from civil rights landmarks in the South to Indigenous sites in the West. The journey will culminate in a gathering designed to imagine a renewed constitutional framework rooted in maternal wisdom and care for future generations.

• Why Brandon believes the United States has a beautiful purpose it has not yet fulfilled
• How culture often precedes political change
• How inherited life scripts shape our decisions about careers, marriage, and success
• The role of spiritual and moral development in sustaining democracy
• Brandon’s metaphor of the bison as a symbol of regenerative leadership
