Ep. 185 How to Be an Ayurveda Beauty Bombshell

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

Today we go back to the ancient, time-tested Ayurveda beauty basics! According to Ayurveda, true beauty radiates from the inside out. It begins with digestion, hydration, and emotional health. An Ayurvedic beauty bombshell knows who she is and embodies Shakti! No skin cream or anti-aging serum can make us feel beautiful if we haven’t addressed the deeper spiritual roots.

However, many of us feel pressured to conform to our culture's limited definition of beauty. In this episode, Katie shares personal stories illustrating how her perspective of beauty has evolved since childhood and how we can all tap into the true source of lasting beauty!

You can pull a card, light a candle and STILL feel You can pull a card, light a candle and STILL feel like hurling your kombucha at someone’s car when they cut you off. That doesn’t mean you’re not healing or spiritual—it means you’re this thing called HUMAN. 🚙💃🏽🔥⚡️

👉🏽 One of the most profound, yet overlooked spiritual practices? Simply being with our emotions. Without trying to change them, without trying to “fix” ourselves and without trying to squirm away from our feelings. 

Having emotions does not make you wrong. It’s how we choose to be with ourselves in those moments, that matters. ❤️‍🔥
