When I first started falling in love with Ayurveda When I first started falling in love with Ayurveda and spirituality, everyone in my world told me there was “no way” to make a great living in the wellness world. Even my yoga teacher…⁠
⁠
Well, thank God(dess) I called bulls&!t on that and followed the voice inside my HEART. ⁠
⁠
Because I learned how to make a great living while sharing what I absolutely love. And there is nothing more fulfilling than to wake up in the morning getting to live out your passions and help others. ⁠
⁠

Last week, my house burned. Half of it gone. Smoke Last week, my house burned. Half of it gone. Smoke damage everywhere else. In one night, almost every material thing I owned was lost.

It was 1 a.m. when Ojas, my Bernedoodle, barked in a way I’d never heard before. Groggy, I grabbed my glasses and opened my bedroom door to a wall of orange - sparks, smoke, alarms.

I froze. My body didn’t know what to do. But somewhere inside, a voice said move. I clutched Ojas’s collar, bolted through the back door, and landed in the garage with shaking hands.

I couldn’t even press 911. My fingers wouldn’t work. “Okay, girl,” I whispered to myself. “You know what this is. Your body’s in freeze. Breathe. Dial the numbers.”

And then - peace. A strange calm washed over me. A voice inside said: You’ve been training for this. God is with you. You are not alone.

Worried the garage would ignite, I grabbed the only thing I could find for a leash - a bungee cord - and stumbled outside in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear. I stood barefoot, watching one side of my house glow molten orange. The night was silent except for the crickets. It was terrifying and strangely holy all at once, watching my home consume itself.

Here’s the wildest part:

Just two weeks earlier, I had been teaching a class at The Shakti School on fear. We practiced something called The Precious Things Practice, a Buddhist meditation where you imagine giving away everything you love - first easy things, then the hardest. Not to lose them, but to feel the grief of impermanence… and to practice letting go.

I didn’t know it then, but I was rehearsing for this exact moment.

And it worked. The practices I’ve taught for over a decade became the lifeline I clung to as my world literally burned. They held me steady in loss. They reminded me: everything is fleeting. 

Everything is Divine. And beneath it all, there is still love.

I’ve never felt so held. So raw. So real. 

With a heart full of gratitude,
Katie

P.S. - The whole story is in the latest podcast episode. Comment 226 and I’ll send you the link.
Raise your hand if your spirit guides (or God) has Raise your hand if your spirit guides (or God) has ever been a little too blunt with you. 🙋🏼‍♀️✨

Whether it happens through a door closing abruptly, those moments when you ask for a clear answer but are met with radio-silence, or straight-up rejection delivered by the Universe, walking this path is not always unicorns and rainbows. Also - I have found that my spirit already KNOWS the answers, I may not always be ready to HEAR it…

But these “blunt” spiritual moments often contain the biggest lessons and spiritual initiations.

That’s why we all need a sisterhood, and wise supporters, walking alongside us.

If your heart’s been whispering that you need a real-deal circle of women walking the spiritual path with you, Shakti Ayurveda School is here for you. 💫 

Earlybird tuition ends in just about 2 weeks—after that, tuition increases by $500.

If you’re the one everyone comes to when they’ If you’re the one everyone comes to when they’re in pain…

If you’ve studied all the healing tools but still wake up wondering: “Why do I sometimes STILL feel so far from myself and my potential?”

I see you, sister.

Because that was me.

For years, I taught, I held space, I gave everything to others, but I STILL struggled to genuinely give myself the warmth, tenderness, generosity and forgiveness that I easily doled out to others. 

One of the greatest and most humbling lessons that we “giving” people have to learn in this lifetime is that we often RUN from loving ourselves because we are so busy helping everyone else. In fact, that isn’t real love - it’s avoidance. 

You see, one day it hit me - I’m not here to learn how to help others (because that comes naturally for me - and many of the women in our program). My soul was whispering something that was really HARD:

❤️‍🔥 “Lover, love thyself. Healer, heal thyself.”

That whisper became a wildfire.

It led me to create The Shakti School Ayurveda Academy - a devotional path back to yourself. A program that isn’t just a certification, but a map back to your own bones, your dignity and your magic. And from that magic -  we truly can be a light unto this world as servants of change. 

Here’s a little taste of what you’ll learn inside Level One:

🌿 The art + science of feminine form Ayurveda
🌿 Nervous system regulation + hormonal harmony through natural methods 
🌿 Sensual + spiritual embodiment practices
🌿 Coaching + Ayurveda for food, sleep, sensuality + life
🌿 How to be a change agent and Ayurveda-based healer the world needs without losing yourself
 
This is the school for women ready to stop outsourcing their wisdom.

To fall back in love with their bodies.

To lead others by leading themselves.

There are just over 2 weeks left of earlybird enrollment for 2026 Shakti Ayurveda School.
 
🌹 Say yes to your own healing today while earlybird tuition is still available... ‘cause prices go up on November 1!
