Ep. 178 Boundaries

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

Do you have a hard time saying ‘no’ when someone asks for help? Maybe you want to do all the things now that spring has sprung! Unfortunately, when we lack strong boundaries we can easily overextend ourselves because we’re not intentional about our ‘yeses’ and ‘nos.’

In this week’s solo episode, Katie helps you identify the areas of your life that would benefit from boundaries. Learn how to set healthy boundaries so you can show up with more love and truth in your life and relationships!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

~ How to start setting boundaries

~ Why the most important boundaries are internal

~ What NOT to do when setting boundaries

~ Reflection questions to help you determine what boundaries to set

~ Good boundaries for your nervous system

~ The difference between trying to control others and healthy boundaries

~ How to find your weak spot

~ Why having strong boundaries is key to lovingly and honest relationships

~ How boundaries expose the quality of your relationships

Welcome to Pitta Season, where the sun’s out, th Welcome to Pitta Season, where the sun’s out, the fire element is high and yes—you can stay up a little bit later than usual without wrecking your routine .☀️😎

This is the time of year when Ayurveda gives us a little more wiggle room (that is, if you’re not experiencing any major health challenges or imbalances!). That means, chilled mint tea? Go for it. 🌿 Poolside lounging? Deeply therapeutic. 🏖️ Late-night dance party under the stars? Honestly, dance parties are soul medicine. 🌕

In the summer, Pitta dosha dominates, inviting us to partake in the season’s passion and fire. The trick is to enjoy this fiery boost without burning out.

So, as you up the passion, keep in mind these Pitta-mitigating habits:

~ Sip cooling teas like rose, mint or fennel.

~ Snack on watery fruits to stay hydrated (hi, watermelon!).

~ Skip the ice bucket—chill your beverages by leaving them in the fridge for a few hours instead.

~ Moonbathe as much as you sunbathe: Pitta is reduced by gazing at the moon!

Here’s the bottom line: You’re not off the Ayurvedic hook, but you do get a permission slip to embrace the season of passion and love. 😘
In this heartfelt episode of Spirit Sessions Podca In this heartfelt episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast, Katie opens up a compassionate, non-judgmental conversation about Ozempic and weight loss drugs through the lens of Ayurveda. ⁠
⁠
With deep love and understanding for those on these medications, she explores how true healing comes from discernment and addressing the root causes of imbalance.⁠
⁠
We’ll also explore Ayurvedic insights on hunger and the sacred role of fat in the body, reminding us that our fat carries the wisdom of our lineage. Tune in for a warm, honest discussion that weaves together science, spirit and self-love. ⁠

When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or your own INNER spice…you need herbs that soothe your system. ⁠
⁠
These are some of my favorite spice-mitigating plant allies that help cool intensity 🌶️:⁠
⁠
🌸 Rose Tea is cooling and heart-opening. It soothes emotional intensity and helps balance heat in the blood and skin.⁠
⁠
🌿Peppermint Tea is naturally cooling to the digestive system. It helps reduce inflammation and is great for those overheated summer moments—whether they’re physical or emotional.⁠
⁠
🌺 Hibiscus Tea is cooling and cleansing—it’s tart flavor is oh-so-refreshing and the perfect addition to your summer mocktails.⁠
⁠
✨ Fennel Tea aids digestion without increasing heat. Its sweet and mildly cooling properties help to calm too much fire in the digestive system.⁠
⁠
🍬 Licorice Root Tea is deeply hydrating. It helps support natural energy without overstimulation. Plus, its naturally sweet taste helps soothe the Pitta craving for intensity and control.⁠
⁠
These herbs can be enjoyed individually or blended (like rose + fennel + peppermint) for extra balancing benefits. Pro tip: Let them cool to room temperature or serve slightly chilled during summer months for extra Pitta-soothing power. 🌺🌬️⁠
