    Vedic Astrology, Ancestral Healing & the Rise of the Feminine with Saraswati | Ep 44

    We are living in one of the most powerful times for ancestral healing and the rise of the divine feminine and the stars confirm it. In this episode, I sit down with Saraswati, host of the Inner Light Jyotisha Summit and founder of Dharma Village, to explore why Vedic astrology, ancestral trauma, and women's leadership in healing are all converging right now. We dive deep into Jyotisha (Vedic astrology) to understand the planetary transits behind this collective shift, Saturn closing a 30-year cycle of karma, Ketu exposing the father wound and masculine trauma, and what it all means for those of us doing ancestral healing work. Saraswati shares how dharma cannot be separated from our ancestors, and why so many of us are only now waking up to transgenerational grief that has been buried for generations. This conversation moves through patriarchy, misogyny, and colonization, and how these forces have disconnected us from our bodies, our lineages, and Mother Earth herself. We talk about shadow work, the darkness that spiritual communities often avoid tending, and why true awakening requires honoring both the light and the shadow. We also open up about cultural healing, ancestral wounds specific to colonized cultures, and reclaiming the body through touch, pleasure, and sacred blood ritual. This is a call to every woman remembering her power, her dharma, and her connection to Ma, the Divine Mother. From rape culture to love culture, from motherless to motherfulness, this is our collective rising.   __ Timestamps & Keynotes 00:00 Introduction to the planetary shifts and collective awakening 04:12 The fire of transformation and collective grief 06:11 Astrological insights on the rise of the feminine 08:51 Saturn's cycle and the end of old karma 12:20 The link between dharma and ancestors 13:48 The liminal realms and ancestral awakening 16:48 Trauma, shadow work, and healing the masculine 19:44 Endings, beginnings, and the Pisces Gandanta 22:30 The importance of tending shadow and light 25:24 Cultural healing and reclaiming Filipino heritage 30:33 Healing through body awareness and self-care 36:48 The impact of societal trauma and disempowerment 42:00 The divine feminine's power and victory 44:43 The collective battle between darkness and light 54:22 Women reclaiming their purpose and power 01:00:19 Healing the relationship with Mother Nature __ ABOUT Saraswati For over a decade, Saraswati have helped hundreds of creative, spiritual healers all over the world deepen their dharmic success and thriving. Born and raised with Vedic knowledge, she was educated in Vedic technology from a very young age, but finding balance within the material world has been a true test of her own dharma. She teaches clients how to live in alignment with their inner wisdom, and create more embodied harmony living their soul purpose. Her approach to dharma and healing is trauma-informed and body-based. Individuals who work with Saraswati consistently achieve greater self trust and deeply understand why their soul is on this planet. This clarity helps them become more successful, focused and aligned spiritually and materially. Her personal dharma is to help you awaken your gifts, shine brighter in this world, and support the transformation of this whole planet.

    Reclaiming the Mother: Sex Magic, Money & Patriarchy with Jenna McDonald | Ep 43

    In this episode, Jenna McDonald and I go deep into motherhood, sex magic, sacred feminine healing, and the systemic violence of patriarchy, a raw, unfiltered conversation on trauma, spirituality, and the Mother archetype. Jenna Devi and I hadn't spoken in many years, since the early days of her first pregnancy, and since then, she has become a trauma researcher, and mother-centered village advocate. This conversation goes to some of the deepest places we've both been. Quick note: this episode was recorded a while back, but if anything, it feels even more relevant now. We talk about violence, coercion and abortion we've each moved through, and how these experiences opened us both into the universal mother. There's a shared vision of a mother-centered, trauma-informed village, womb care, sex education, reciprocity, and all the goodness that has always been here, just forgotten and lost. Jenna brings her research on maternal scholarship, matricentric feminism, and how patriarchy is literally built in relationship to the mother, down to how family courts and legal systems are structured against her. We talk honestly about why so many women can't seem to keep the money they earn, and walk through, step by step, how sex magic is practiced as a tool for manifestation, the five elements, the ritual, the release. There's also the story of the Mother Temple in Bali and the serpent Vāsukī. We talk about the concept of the Fully Remembered Mother, and the conversation brings in the Vedic story of the thousand mothers, how every mother, in her own way, only wants what is best for her child. And we get into a $60,000 lesson learned in the coaching industry, healing the internalized witch hunter, and what it means to finally use money with clear intent. Keynotes The legend of the Mother Temple in Bali and its serpent guardian The Fully Remembered Mother, who the mother was before patriarchy Healing the internalized witch hunter many women carry Sex magic through the five elements, step by step Why family courts and legal systems are structurally built against the mother Rewiring emotional memory around money and safety The sacred triangle of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga Why imagination is the next frontier of collective healing     ABOUT Jenna Jenna McDonald (MA, E-RYT 500, PhD candidate) is a renowned educator, facilitator, and thought leader with over 20 years of experience in yoga, breathwork, and transformative leadership. Holding degrees in Native Systems of Education and Transformative Leadership, she bridges indigenous wisdom with the neurophysiology of breath as spiritual praxis, and is currently completing her PhD at CIIS focused on animate breath and co-regulation. Jenna has trained hundreds of practitioners for over a decade as an E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, offers 1:1 mentorship by referral, and facilitates international retreats and private events.

    Sexual Trauma, Feminine Leadership & Matrilineal Villages with Lovisa Lakshmi | Ep 42

    Imagine your mother had an orgasm when you came into this world. Sit with that for a second. Why is it okay for your birth to have been the most painful, worst experience of her life, but not okay for it to have been ecstatic, orgasmic, full of pleasure? Why do we normalize the pain and not the pleasure? In this episode of Born to Feel Free, I'm with my sister Lovisa Lakshmi (Lovisa Dahl), again, third or fourth time, doesn't matter, we always have so much to say. Sex, freedom, pleasure, money, children, sisterhood, men, nature. We go into what I call the global intimacy disorder: the mental illness, the burnout, the breast cancer, the cervical cancer, the infertility, rising by the day, because we are disconnected from our bodies, our sex, our power, our nature. We are, as a society, raped, not always physically, but mentally, spiritually, through lies, through systems of domination we never consented to. Not so long ago they burned women for gathering in circles, because when women gather, we are invincible. That's the witch wound. It's still in us. Lovisa shares her three births, raw and unfiltered: the fear of going against everyone around her, the home birth, the ecstatic birth, the fully orgasmic birth, and how it rewired her body, rewired years of tension out of her feet, out of her nervous system, just from being finally supported and safe and in her power. And then we go into money. The sometimes hidden desire for wanting more money. The shadow of the women's coaching industry & millionaire babes. How we still feed the patriarchal system. We talk about what it actually looks like to let wealth move through healed hands instead, into natural birthing clinics, into matrilineal villages, into the soil, into the world we actually want. This is a deep one. KEYNOTES:- Sexual trauma, the witch wound, and how it echoes through generations- Why orgasmic birth is possible, and why painful birth got normalized instead- The global intimacy disorder: burnout, disease, and disconnection from our bodies- Reclaiming sisterhood after centuries of women being pitted against each other- The vision for matrilineal, womb centered villages built on real support- The shame and hunger underneath chasing money, status, and the "millionaire babe" dream- Breaking the spell of wealth feeding the very systems that oppressed us- What it means to heal sexual trauma and return fully to our power #SacredSexuality #OrgasmicBirth #FemininePower #MatrilinealVillages #birthtrauma **ABOUT Lovisa** Lovisa Lakshmi Dahl is a birth mentor and Orgasmic Birth Practitioner dedicated to healing earth through birth. By empowering women to embrace pleasure, sacred sexuality and ritual she offers a unique way to prepare for birth. With three home births of her own and studies in feminine embodiment, she guides pregnant women to their most empowered, positive and pleasurable birth experiences. For a decade Lovisa has also had the blessing to study the ancient vedic wisdom, Advaita Vedanta, and incorporates spirituality as a natural part of all her offerings.

    Silent Grief of the Womb: Fertility, Loss & Initiation with Shereen Öberg | Ep 41

    Have you ever felt into the deep, often unseen experiences women carry in the womb? Infertility, birth, abortion, miscarriage, reproductive loss, postpartum grief, painful periods, hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, and all the ways the womb can open us, trigger us, connect us, and initiate us. Many women carry silent grief. Unspoken stories. Unheld initiations. Wounds related to the womb, the body, motherhood, and the reproductive journeys that are often unseen or experienced alone. In this conversation, I sit with Shereen Öberg, a doula, Reiki practitioner, writer, author, and researcher in reproductive health and rights. She is also the creator of the Law of Positivism and the author of an oracle deck dedicated to her Kurdish ancestry, weaving together feminine spirituality, healing, ancestral connection, and womb wisdom. Shereen and I have been connected for many years through the unseen threads of this work, through podcast conversations, feminine healing, and a shared devotion to the womb mysteries. Recently, our paths crossed again in a deeper way, and it felt as though our wombs were calling us together into sisterhood, healing, empowerment, and the sacred work we are now feeling called to birth. Together, we enter the tender and often untapped space of reproductive grief, ancestral memory, feminine spirituality, and the sacred work of being held through what life asks us to meet. Shereen shares how her years of infertility shifted her from feeling empowered and in control into a deeper surrender. We speak about the anger many women feel toward themselves and their bodies, the pain of feeling betrayed by the body, and the grief that so often remains unseen. Because grief is a transformative experience. It is initiatory. And when we do not feel it, when we only rationalize it, it can get stuck somewhere in the body. This episode is a moment to feel into the silent grief, the reproductive experiences that are not always given ceremony, language, or community, and the ways the Mother, the Goddess, the ancestors, and the elements can hold us as we move through life, death, loss, and birth again. If you have ever carried grief in silence, or felt your womb asking to be witnessed, this conversation is for you.   Keynotes: -Introduction to Healing and Sisterhood -The Journey of the Womb and Ancestral Connections - Exploring Reproductive Health and Rights -Researching Infertility and Women's Experiences -The Role of Spirituality in Healing -Navigating Grief and Loss in Reproductive Experiences -The Importance of Community Support -The Transformative Power of Grief -Silent Grief and Personal Reflections -The Power of Feeling and Transformation -Navigating Reproductive Experiences -Cultural Wisdom and Shared Stories -Healing Through Connection and Rituals -Embodying the Goddess and Collective Wisdom   ABOUT Shereen Öberg I am Shereen – A Kurdish doula and practitioner of TCM with a degree in reproductive health and rights as well as religious studies, with special focus on coping with reproductive trauma and infertility through spiritual coping.

    The Initiations of a Woman No One Talks About - Freedom through Motherhood with Tova Olsson | Ep 40

    I have butterflies sharing this one with you. And I say it because when I name it, I can breathe into it and relax. Because this episode asks something of both of us. It asks us to be real. I sit with Tova Olsson, known in our community as Saraswati Studies, a Shakta Tantra teacher, scholar of religion, PhD candidate, mother of two and devoted worshipper of the Divine Mother. We had been in each other's field for a while, my students had studied with her, and when we finally came together during the Inner Light Jyotish Festival, I just felt it. Now is the time. And so we dove right in. Both of us. Fully. For the very first time I speak out loud about getting pregnant, about not being able to find my true answer until the very last moment, and about the choice I made. And what came through that portal the birth, the body, the Shakti, the grief, the healing, the rituals changed me in ways I am still integrating. I feel like a different woman than I was before all of this. And Tova brings her story with the same depth and courage. Of becoming a single mother of two, of how the Goddess arrived in her life as pure limitation, and how that pressure became the very fire that transformed her sadhana and her understanding of love. We also go deep into what it means to mother ourselves. The fears that live in the body that we don't even know are there until something cracks them open. How many women have carried so much in silence, unprocessed, unnamed. And how much can shift when we finally speak it and receive it with love. This is a conversation between two women who have walked through it. Not around it. Through it. And we are here on the other side to say it is possible to love yourself completely through everything the Goddess brings. Jai Ma.P.S. Tova and I are planning to host something together soon so stay updated. ___ Keynotes - Moksha or liberation through motherhood and trauma- How pregnancy and birth serve as powerful initiations and goddess practices- The healing power of rituals- Sexual trauma and its impact on spiritual awakening and maternal courage- The importance of community, ancestral rituals, and trauma integration- How attachment, societal expectations, and body changes influence the spiritual path- The role of feminine archetypes- The significance of holistic practices for healing and empowerment- The evolving cultural and spiritual support systems for women and mothers ABOUT Tova Olsson Tova Olsson is a scholar of religion, author and yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience in education. She is appreciated for her deep knowledge, her ability to explain esoteric ideas and philosophical concepts in an accessible way, for her skillful storytelling, and heart led teaching method. As a 'Scholar-Practitioner', she strives to combine an academic, critical understanding with the experience of a long-term practitioner, offering teachings that provide liberating knowledge - on many different levels. She holds a MA in Religious Studies and is currently working on her PhD, researching the construction of gender in contemporary tantra in Europe.

    The True Meaning of Dharma with Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati | Ep 39

    In this episode, I’m in conversation with a very special guest, Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati, someone I deeply revere. Our connection is rooted in a shared devotion to freedom, and in the living legacy of our teacher, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, whose work revived the traditional teaching of Advaita Vedanta as a precise means of knowledge. I first met her during my time attending courses in Coimbatore. I remember meeting her before she had taken on the role of a Swamini, and it feels meaningful to reconnect here in this way. Swamini’s background bridges two worlds. She holds a PhD in psychology and worked closely with children, yet even with a deep understanding of the human mind, there was still a sense of something unresolved. In this conversation, she shares how that led her to Vedanta, and how what she discovered brought a clarity that psychology alone could not provide. We explore how psychology supported her journey, where its limitations began to show, and how that understanding now informs the way she teaches. We also speak about the role of the guru, the challenges around trust, and how dharma can be understood in a grounded, practical way, not as rules, but as values that shape how we live and relate. This conversation is both personal and precise, rooted in lived experience and a teaching that continues through a living tradition. If you’ve ever felt that understanding yourself still leaves something unresolved, this conversation may meet you there. Keynotes -Swaminiji's Journey to Vedanta -The Meaning of Guru and Its Significance in Vedanta -Differences Between Traditional Vedanta and Neo-Advaita -The Role of Ishvara in Spiritual Practice -The Concept of Dharma and Swadharma in Daily Life -The Importance of Systematic Study and Lineage in Vedanta -Overcoming Misconceptions About Scriptures -Challenges with Organized Religion -The Influence of Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati -Personal Transformation Through Vedanta ABOUT Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati Ph. D has dedicated her life to serving Sanatana Dharma by teaching Advaita Vedanta. Seamlessly flowing from the breadth of self-mastery to the depth of self-discovery, her teachings span the full range of the tradition: regular online Vedanta courses, workshops, and residential retreats in India and internationally; faculty teaching at the Hindu University of America of three core courses; one-one mentoring sessions with disciples, and a podcast Vedanta: The River of Wisdom, along with video teachings that reach students across the globe. She is the founder of SHINE (Spiritual Heritage of India for Next-gen Empowerment), a teaching program to help children live a powerful life of Sanatana Dharma. She is the author of You Matter: Insights from Vedānta which helps beginners to Vedanta, glide into the teachings. A direct disciple of the revered Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati, she completed an intensive three-year residential course in Vedanta, Sanskrit, and Vedic chanting at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam across Coimbatore and Rishikesh — one of the most rigorous programs of traditional Vedantic learning available today. Prior to this while balancing her work commitments she had deepened her study over twelve years under Swami Brahmavidananda and later Swami Sakshatkrtananda, the Acharya of the course in the gurukulam. Before entering monastic life, in a career of 15 years, Swamini Brahmaprajnananda served as Country Head (India) of an international humanitarian organization whose work transformed the lives of over 150,000 street children. She has a Ph D in Philosophy and an M.Phil in psychology. A trained psychologist by background, she carries that understanding of the human mind into the heart of the wisdom of Vedanta, pointing students to what they truly are, boundless and ever free.

    Sacred Offering into the Fire of Knowledge for Freedom Moksha in Mother Bali with Ingela Indirā Devī | Ep 38

    I have to be honest with you… this episode is something I have been wanting to create for a long, long time. Not because I was waiting for the right moment, but because she usually wouldn’t do this kind of thing. And then she said YES. So here we are. In this episode, I’m not just welcoming a guest. I’m sitting with someone who has walked beside me for years… Ingela Indirā Devī is not only a dear friend, she is my Guru Bai, my sister in the same lineage. We have been neighbours in Bali for more than a decade. Shared teachers, shared devotion, shared moments of being deeply “cooked” by life. Here, we speak about Bali, not as a place you visit, but as something that meets you… challenges you… transforms you. A place that doesn’t let you escape yourself. A place that invites you into the fire again and again, until something deeper stabilizes. Ingela shares her journey of arriving here with nothing but a knowing. Of living through uncertainty, not even knowing if there would be enough for the next day… and discovering that in that exact place, something sacred reveals itself. And then life brought her into an even deeper fire. Her home… completely burned to the ground. I also shared something deeply personal in this episode… a dream pattern that had lived in my body for decades, and how, through the grace of ritual, prayer, and this land, something finally released. It wasn’t forced. It wasn’t figured out. It unfolded when I was ready to meet it. And that’s what this conversation keeps pointing back to… We don’t bypass the fire. We offer ourselves into it. Again and again. Keynotes The Power of Mirroring and Growth The Journey of Cooking and Self-Discovery The Call of Bali: A Spiritual Awakening Cultural Immersion and Understanding Bali Life in Dubai: A Contrast of Extremes The Pursuit of Happiness and Materialism A Wake-Up Call: Leaving Dubai for Bali Creating a Spiritual Business in Bali Bali: A Place of Transformation and Challenges The Importance of Gratitude and Presence The Role of Teachers and Spiritual Lineage The Journey of Self-Discovery Healing Through Dreams and Nightmares The Power of Community and Shared Experiences Cultural Reflections: East vs. West Rituals and Spiritual Practices in Bali Lessons from Loss and Rebirth The Significance of Sanskrit and Spiritual Language   ABOUT Ingela Pinglan Ingela Indirā Devī is originally from Sweden and has called Bali home for the past 17 years. She is a truly one-of-a-kind woman—deeply devoted, committed, devotional, and dharmic in all areas of her life. She embodies sacred service through her unwavering dedication to her children, to their school in North Bali, to the Norwegian school in Sanur, and to her Sanskrit students. She is also the co-creator of Bumiyatra Sacred Tours and Pilgrimages, which she has lovingly organized for many years with her dear brother Bruce Dharma. Together they guide people on authentic sacred journeys and treks, far beyond the ordinary tourist path, into the deeper heart of Bali and its spiritual essence. Ingela has risen like a phoenix through life’s many transformations and stands as a living embodiment of Vedantic wisdom—the vision of oneness and the remembrance of the limitless Self. For many years, she has been in my life as a sacred sister, a mirror, a beloved friend, and a cherished community member. We have shared the path of light and shadow, each returning home to the truth of who we are—together and separately. It is such a profound honor to walk this life alongside her, and an even greater honor to welcome her onto this podcast so that all of you may come to know the depth, beauty, and radiance of this extraordinary woman, a living Goddess.

    Sacred Offering into the Fire of Knowledge for Freedom Moksha in Mother Bali with Ingela Indirā Devī | Ep 38

    Rising Like a Phoenix with Razwana Ananda | Ep 37

    In this episode of the Born to Be Free, I welcome Razwana Ananda Devi into a deeply intimate conversation on transformation, devotion, and inner awakening. Born in Scotland to Pakistani parents, Razwana’s journey led her across the world to New Zealand, where the ending of a long-term relationship became a sacred turning point. What once felt like heartbreak opened the doorway to profound self-discovery, guiding her into feminine embodiment, healing, and spiritual inquiry. Rising like a phoenix from heartbreak, she devoted herself to self-love, expanded into abundance, and began to recognize the limitless essence within. Through her deep immersion in sacred feminine teachings and the Devi School pathways, including The Heroine’s Journey, alongside her devotion to Vedanta, she anchored into the recognition that nothing outside of us can complete what is already whole. In this conversation, Razwana also opens the doorway into her journey with money and abundance, gently unraveling the limiting beliefs shaped by her upbringing and transforming her relationship with wealth. She speaks to money not as something to fear or chase, but as a tool for growth, self-worth, and conscious living, reminding us that abundance is not scarce, but infinite and available. Now, as a holistic life coach, she guides women back to their inner abundance and inherent worth, supporting them to create love and life from wholeness rather than lack. If you are ready to soften into both love and abundance… this conversation is for you.   KEYNOTES: -Introduction and Background of Razwana Ananda Devi -Razwana's Journey of Transformation -Healing Through Feminine Empowerment -The Power of Self-Discovery and Coaching -Navigating Relationships and Personal Growth -Embracing Self-Love and Vulnerability -The Journey to Finding True Love -Challenging Gender Norms in Relationships -Personal Growth and Life Reflections -Understanding Money Mindset and Beliefs -The Flow of Money and Abundance -The Role of Support and Mentorship -Conscious Wealth and Social Responsibility -The Journey of Self-Discovery and Abundance ABOUT Razwana Ananda Razwana Ananda is a holistic life and relationship coach who supports professional, high-achieving women to attract conscious love, aligned partnership, and abundance through deep inner transformation, embodied self-leadership, and intuitive practice.

About

The highest purpose of life is to discover the truth of our radiant, erotic, and limitless existence. Freedom is our nature, wholeness our self, limitlessness our reality, and erotic aliveness our magic. The "Born to be FREE" Podcast invites you on a journey to the sanctuary of your magnificent being, guided by my decades of devoted and committed studies, along with lived experience of the ancient, timeless, spiritual, non-dual teachings of the Vedic Tradition, as well as integrated holistic sacred sexuality. It serves as a bridge between the ancient and the new era, a confluence of opposites where all is seen as sacred, and every experience is meant to catapult us into our supreme destiny. A lifetime dedication in honor of the greatest gift of all times: the chance to gain freedom in this life and live a life that is outstanding, without any compromise to one's own well-being, while being in service to Love.
