Are you living an Ayurvedic lifestyle, but still missing your spark? Today on the podcast, Katie chats with Dr. Shivani Gupta - author, turmeric researcher, and new teacher here at The Shakti School - about why so many women in midlife feel disconnected from their spark.
Dr. Shivani and Katie open up about navigating life as high-pitta entrepreneurs and the power of embracing the mess. Dr. Shivani shares how turmeric has changed her life and why so many of us suffer from inflammation in the body and “mental inflammation." Tune in for behind-the-scenes book-launch stories, mom-entrepreneur wisdom and our first-ever Ayurveda girl-power lightning round!
