Ep. 198 Family Archetypes: Understanding the Thanksgiving Dinner Table Dynamics

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

You’ve done the inner work and matured spiritually, yet as soon as your family gathers for the holidays you feel like a little kid again and revert to the same old, dysfunctional family dynamics! Just in time for Thanksgiving, Katie shares how family archetypes affect our relationships and how you can start creating more healthy family dynamics this holiday season.

Learn how to approach your next family gathering with the mind of a yogini so you can unravel generational karma and have more compassion toward yourself and others.

“Being feminine doesn’t mean that we have to be always nice and passive. Our femininity also has the power and strength in it that we don’t see everyday.” – Nicole Ronda

🎉 Nicole is a soon-to-be grad from both Level 1 and Level 2 Ayurveda School. 

She’s the founder of ADHD Ayurveda, which is dedicated to empowering neurodivergent women through personalized wellness coaching. Her approach blends Ayurvedic practices, herbalism, divination, and real-life experience. Find her at https://www.adhdayurveda.com/ 🌿

Our yearlong Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training is a year deep dive into working with your nervous system, your body and your Inner Feminine in order to unlock the Healer that already lives inside of you. 

✨ And today marks the final three weeks of earlybird enrollment! That means you’ll save $500+ on tuition when you register before October 31st.

You can stop waiting to be healed to begin. Ayurv You can stop waiting to be healed to begin.

Ayurveda the feminine-form way doesn’t wait for perfection. We live it one messy, sacred step at a time.

That’s why I created The Shakti School — not for “perfect” wellness goddesses, but for real women like me (and you). Women who crave connection, guidance and a map back home to the body and soul.

Inside our year-long training, you’ll learn:

🌿 The sacred roots of Ayurveda (with a modern twist that makes sense in real life)

🌿 Holistic hormone health + nervous system coaching

🌿 Sacred sensuality and spiritual practice for embodied living

🌿 How to hold space for others even while still working on yourself

No gurus. No rigid rules. Just a brave community of women saying: “This is who I am. And I’m ready to reclaim her.”

💫 We begin January 2026...  but early bird tuition enrollment ends soon.

If you felt a tingle in your heart while reading this, don’t ignore it. That’s your inner guidance calling you home.
