The Ghee Spot is your one-stop shop for all things sex, spirit and shakti-infused self-care (with a spoonful of Southern belle). Join me, Katie Silcox, New York Times Best-Selling author and Founder of Shakti School, for your weekly self-love soundbyte.
This podcast is full of fun and deep real-talk from your fave Ayurveda gal-Friday on yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra and anything else we wanna’ dish about.
This is about me having a best-friendy conversation with YOU on everything I’m currently madly in love with. That includes recipes, body movement practices, health-boosting herbal love, and a slew of amazing guests who blew my mind (and will blow yours).
Mostly, this podcast is personal. It’s me speaking my most authentic heart. No holds barred. No fear. Just me, you + spirit.
The Ghee Spot, appreciating the wisdom of ancient Ayurveda and bringing it to the modern woman from my home-studio to your earbuds. No filter. Only L.O.V.E.
