Living in Balance is a raw, honest podcast for anyone navigating a body, a mind, and a world that often feels out of sync. Hosted by Jain monks and award-winning filmmakers Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti, this women’s health and healing podcast explores what balance really looks like in modern life—especially during seasons of change like perimenopause, menopause, and mental burnout. From hormone health, trauma healing, and mental wellness to purpose, resilience, and spirituality, Living in Balance creates space for the conversations most people are having quietly—or not at all. Blending science, lived experience, and ancient wisdom, they create space for the truths too often left unspoken—and for learning how to live and heal with greater awareness, compassion, and courage. Siddhali and Anubhuti live and teach at Siddhayatan Tirth & Spiritual Retreat, a global spiritual retreat center where people from around the world come to learn meditation, discover their life purpose, and deepen their spiritual path. Their work is guided by their spiritual mentor, Acharya Shree Yogeesh, whose teachings on nonviolence, self-realization, and inner transformation form the foundation of their lives and service. This is not a podcast about having it all figured out. It’s about telling the truth, listening deeply, and learning how to live—and heal—with more awareness, compassion, and courage.

    How Two Female Monks Became Filmmakers—and Refused to Sell Out

    How do two Jain monks become award-winning filmmakers without film school, Hollywood backing, or a clear roadmap? In this episode of LIVING IN BALANCE, hosts Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti reveal the unexpected journey that took them from spiritual life at an ashram to red carpets, Oscar-qualifying documentaries, and the creation of BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey. They share how their early experiences with television, production, web design, and storytelling eventually led them to pick up a camera and teach themselves documentary filmmaking through YouTube, Google, instinct, and a willingness to figure things out. But behind every finished film is a story audiences rarely see. Siddhali and Anubhuti open up about starting BALANCE with no money, struggling to find support for a project affecting half the world’s population, building a small team they could trust, and facing offers from people who wanted to pay their way into the docuseries. Even when funding was desperately needed, they refused to compromise the integrity of the project. Their guiding lesson: believe in the vision, keep your intention pure, do the hard work, and never sell your soul. They also discuss why filmmaking became a form of healing, how storytelling helped them process childhood trauma and perimenopause, and why they believe a film can become much more than entertainment—it can become a movement. In this episode: • How two Jain monks became documentary filmmakers • Why they never attended film school • Starting their first film with little experience • The hidden financial struggle behind independent filmmaking • Why BALANCE was harder to fund than expected • Refusing pay-to-play opportunities • Building a small team with talent, heart, and trust • How filmmaking became part of their healing journey • Why men also need to understand perimenopause • How storytelling can inspire cultural change ABOUT THE HOSTS Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti are award-winning Jain monk-filmmakers who live and serve at Siddhayatan Tirth & Spiritual Retreat outside Dallas, Texas.

    A Vow, A Camera, A Breakdown: How BALANCE Was Born

    Hosts: Sadhvi Siddhali Shree & Sadhvi Anubhuti In this episode Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti share the deeply personal origin story behind Living in Balance and BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey. From a vow written years ago to protect others from harm, to the moment early perimenopause upended their lives, this conversation opens the door to the realities that couldn’t fully be captured on screen. This episode explores what happens when there is no language for suffering — and how one word can change everything. What we talk about • The vow that started their filmmaking and advocacy journey • Becoming filmmakers with no experience — and saying “we’ll figure it out” • Early perimenopause showing up as rage, exhaustion, and loss of self • A month-long conflict that didn’t reflect their values • Being dismissed because they “looked healthy” • The shock of bloodwork revealing depletion and anemia • Why spirituality alone didn’t prevent hormonal chaos • How discovering the word perimenopause brought clarity and relief • Why BALANCE became a four-part docuseries • The real reason this podcast exists — the stories that didn’t make the cut Key themes Perimenopause • Women’s health • Hormones • Mental health • Relationships • Spirituality • Nonviolence • Advocacy • Healing • Community Why this matters Millions of women enter perimenopause without preparation, language, or support. This episode is a reminder: you are not broken, you are not alone, and knowledge reduces suffering.
