Ep. 12 I’m F*ing Feeling Triggered on Instagram

You're scrolling through Instagram but then see something that triggers negative, intense emotions. Or maybe you're just walking through life, minding your own business when all of a sudden something triggers an intense emotion or memory. In this episode, Katie talks about how can we hold, hear and soothe ourselves when we're feeling triggered. 

Winter is coming. The air is changing, there is a sense of snuggling up and being held in hibernation. By approaching those moments when we're feeling triggered as opportunities for self growth we can continuously be reborn.

In this episode about feeling triggered, Katie discusses:

~ Triggers and our Nervous System

~ What does feeling triggered feel like?

~ Winter Transitions 

~ Connection to Self + Spirit

~ Social Media & Triggers 

~ Yoga and the Human Experience 

~ Koshas - layers, sheaths, existence 

~ Trapped Trauma

Sometimes our inner guidance asks us to step into Sometimes our inner guidance asks us to step into what feels scary or uncertain. Listening to our intuition can be challenging, and demand that we take action requiring courage and faith.

Yet leaning in and trusting that inner whisper is how we grow more aligned with who we’re meant to be.

When we listen to our inner guide, even when it’s soft or subtle, we always end up with what is truly meant for us. (Even when you’d rather ask the Universe for a *different* answer instead. 😉)

This is your nudge to listen to the inner signals you’ve been sensing lately. 🪄💫

Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼 Kapha seas Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼

Kapha season might be making you feel a little damp or heavy, but this “Wake Me Up” juice is the perfect prescription - stimulating, warming and mobilizing to your system.

Ginger, turmeric and citrus stoke your agni (digestive fire), helping to clear stagnation and giving the body a little wake-up call. The bitterness, pungency and brightness of the ingredients cut through any sluggishness and bring an instant boost of clarity and energy. 🌿🔥

This juice is best if consumed on an empty stomach and away from other meals. Make sure to add enough ginger to keep it spicy!

✨ Calling all Level 1 Shakti School grads! Level 2 begins in just a few weeks and if your heart is feeling the nudge to deepen your education—and your soul’s evolution—we are inviting you back into the Shakti classroom. 

Our coaching team can answer any questions you have and support you in exploring if Level 2 is right for you.

Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Trai Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Training Program graduates… 🌿⁠
⁠
This is what happens when women step into the deeper layers of this work, where Ayurveda meets feminine embodiment, clinical understanding and real-life application. Level 2 is not just about learning more… it’s about becoming someone who can truly hold this wisdom for herself and others.⁠
⁠
Our students walk away with a profound connection to their bodies, their cycles and the rhythms of nature, while also gaining the tools to support others with confidence and clarity. ⁠
⁠
From herbs and nutrition to pregnancy, postpartum and the bridge between Western and Eastern medicine, this training is both deeply practical and deeply transformational.⁠
⁠
And perhaps most importantly… it reignites something. A spark. A sense of aliveness. A remembering of who you are and how you’re meant to serve. ⚡️⁠
⁠
There is no such thing as “too late,” nor “too old,” nor “too saturated” when it comes to this ancient wisdom that’s deeply needed. ⁠
⁠
The world needs embodied, grounded, heart-led practitioners now more than ever.⁠
⁠
✨ There are only four weeks until our 2026 Level 2 training begins on April 21st.⁠

Kapha season is that late winter to early spring t Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿⁠
⁠
Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:⁠
⁠
🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation⁠
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest⁠
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down⁠
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!⁠
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats⁠
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha⁠
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness⁠
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)⁠
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation⁠
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness⁠
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion⁠
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options⁠
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥⁠
⁠
This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.⁠
⁠
🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.⁠
