    Ancestral Tantra, Shakti Embodiment and Gupt Navaratri with Sheetal Kandola

    In this episode, I sit down to interview Sheetal Kandola, Indian-born in the U.S who has traveled all over the world for her education and now calls India home on purpose to decolonise her relationship with her roots and be an embodiment of feminine freedom in her homeland.  Sheetal is an Indian American global mental health scientist, somatic therapist, sex educator and Shakta Tantra practitioner bridging ancient Eastern Indigenous medicine with modern Western neuroscience. As an Indigenous practitioner carrying the living traditions of Tantra, Yoga and Ayurveda, Sheetal is devoted to preserving these lineages with integrity while translating their wisdom through the language of contemporary science. She translates the language of the nervous system into the language of the sacred. Her work sits at the intersection of nervous system intelligence, embodiment, sexuality, spirituality and collective liberation revealing how ancient practices and modern research illuminate one another. Blending classical Tantra, yoga, somatic therapy, and nervous system science, she guides humans beyond self-improvement and into self-remembrance. Her philosophy is simple: healing is about remembering who you were before trauma, shame and conditioning disconnected you from your body, your voice and your power. Rooted in decolonial and queer liberation, Sheetal creates spaces where devotion, discernment and embodied practice become pathways to both personal and collective transformation. Her offerings include private 1:1 mentorship, immersive Navratri containers, New Moon and Full Moon ceremonies, retreats, yatras and Shakti Shala, her online temple space where women gather to study, practice and awaken together. Learn more about her containers at  www.sheetalkandola.com. Whether speaking on podcasts, leading retreats or facilitating intimate circles, Sheetal invites people to experience a new paradigm of healing, one that bridges ancient Eastern Indigenous wisdom with modern Western neuroscience and restores the body as both the laboratory and the temple. You can connect with her at sheetalkandola/discovery-call and explore her community teaching offerings at https://shakti-system-os.vercel.app/ and give her a follow on IG @sheetalkandola.

    Drop the Mask of Fawning & Embrace the Villain with Kallie Klug

    In this episode, I interview Kallie, founder of Kali Somatics. Kallie is a certified somatic practitioner and yoga teacher. She has international certifications in therapeutic yoga, women's embodiment, somatic parts work, and integrative somatic trauma therapy. She also studied traditional yoga, breathwork and meditation at its birthplace in the Himalayas of Rishikesh, India. She is the author of 'Tired of Being Good'.  Kallie specializes in the fawn response, the often-overlooked trauma response that looks like people pleasing, chronic self-abandonment, over-functioning and losing touch with our authentic needs in order to maintain safety, belonging and connection. Kallie's teachings are grounded in somatic psychology and traditional embodiment practices to help those who are ready to access the inner wisdom of their own bodies. She believes "we all have the key within ourselves to stop outsourcing our healing and to unlock potent empowerment from within." Together, we explore how fawning shapes our relationships, careers, sexuality, creativity and sense of self. Kallie shares her personal journey of moving beyond the "good girl" identity, the grief that can emerge when old relational structures fall away and how somatic work helps us reconnect with the parts of ourselves hidden beneath performance and survival adaptation. Through stories from her upcoming book, reflections on culture and conditioning, and practical somatic wisdom, Kallie offers a compassionate and deeply human perspective on healing the fawn response.

    Beauty Way, Sadhana & Feeling the Divine Within and in Relationship with Natalie Adele

    In this episode Rashi interviews Natalie who is a former nurse practitioner and educator who left the medical model to go deeper into the nervous system, women’s embodied intelligence and the sacred places science can't reach. Her path is rooted in Kundalini yoga, ritual, and lived devotion refined through years of her own soul’s evolution and the profound transformations of the many women she's mentored. She now guides women into a way of being that nurtures their totality from physical body, energy body and emotional body to their beliefs and soul essence. Through ‘The Beauty Way,’  her signature offering for women preparing for union, Natalie awakens the numb, disconnected, modern woman from sleepwalking into unapologetic radiance, deep feeling, and radical aliveness. Tune into it at https://thebeautyway.lovable.app/. Her work is devoted to catalyzing a great feminine awakening where women shatter ancestral chains of fear, guilt and shame and bravely choose to feel again. She believes this return to aliveness creates a cascade of beauty that transforms families, communities, and cultures for generations to come.  Connect with her work at @thenatalieadele on instagram and ground into your heart with a free rose meditation from her altar at  https://tinyurl.com/groundedrose.
