    The Signs I Ignored (& PCOS)

    In this episode, I share my personal experience with womb betrayal, losing my period for almost a year during a marriage and divorce, being diagnosed with PCOS after ignoring all of the warning signs, and the long process of learning to trust my body again. I talk about what stress looked like in my life at the time, the signs I ignored, what PCOS taught me about hormones and ovulation, and how Ayurveda changed the way I think about healing. For me, I thought healing would take a lifetime. But it didn't. I'm now realizing the real inner healing is about awareness, pattern recognition, prevention and learning to respond to what the mindbody connection is saying BEFORE it manifests into something that's irreversible. Healing isn't about always being okay and happy. Life still lifes. I also share how this mindset is helping me now, years later, as I move through grief, miscarriage recovery, anger, and another season of listening. This episode is for the woman who knows a lot about wellness, has tried everything, and still feels disconnected from herself. Try practicing listening to yourself and then... trusting yourself. If you'd like to dive deeper into your patterns and would like some help, I do offer 1:1 consultations with women: Home. If you'd like to learn about your potential blockage(s) and how to remove them, I'm hosting a FREE, LIVE Ayurvedic Workshop for women. Sign-ups are available here!

    The Knowing: Quitting My 9-5

    Today is my last day working for a 9–5 corporation in the diamond and gemstone world! That means today is also the beginning of a completely new chapter, and I couldn't be more at peace with it. In this episode, I share why I chose to leave my career as a gemologist, graphic designer, and research analyst to put my own vision first; the ladybug sign that gave me the confirmation I was asking for; and how my recent miscarriage forced me to reconsider my capacity, healing, and relationship with my workload. This isn’t me encouraging you to quit your job (unless you want to, girl!). It’s about what can happen when we begin moving out of survival mode, nourishing our nervous systems, and creating enough space to hear our own KNOWING. This comes from a space of clarity because we finally have capacity to listen. I truly believe the KNOWING (our intuition) is always there. We just don't always make room for it, shushing it because of our stress. If you’re wondering where you're at in life and are ready to remove some of the blockages that are louder than your knowing, sign up for my free workshop here! Sometimes the first step toward changing your life isn’t a huge leap. In fact, huge leaps before tiny leaps can utterly destroy your nervous system if you aren't ready for it! Sometimes the first step toward changing your life is simply creating enough space to hear what you already know. You can start by taking five minutes a day to make space for YOURSELF.

    Another Miscarriage

    This is a very personal episode because I’m talking about my miscarriage while I’m still in it. I'm still grieving, still healing (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually), and still trying to understand what life looks like after losing another baby. I don't have healing tips like I normally do. I don't have answers. I'm sharing what I'm going through and what I've learned from my last miscarriage to this one. But I'm still deeply wounded, and I haven't nearly made sense of why this has happened again. I had to pause recording numerous times, to get it together and to speak coherently through my tears. This is raw and vulnerable. I hope my sharing helps another woman through this awful experience. I talk about both of my miscarriages: the first one I kept almost entirely to myself, and the one I’m experiencing now. The first time, I suffered in silence. I couldn't cope while alone, so I drank to numb the grief, stopped taking care of myself, and tried to keep functioning as though nothing had happened. It was one of the darkest periods of my life. This time, I’m asking for help because I know what it's like to go through this alone. I’m letting my family and friends love me through it. I joined a pregnancy-loss support group. I planted a California poppy for my little So So. And by talking openly about my miscarriage, I've learned just how many women I’ve known for years were quietly carrying this same loss. Me too. This episode is about miscarriage, grief, the babies we didn’t get to keep, and what can happen when we stop believing we have to carry unbearable things alone. And if grief, loss, or life in general has left you feeling like you're simply surviving right now, you can take my free Four Seasons of Survival Mode quiz to discover the season you're in and receive some gentle support for where you are right now. Most importantly, if you’ve lost a baby, your grief matters. Your baby matters. And you don’t have to carry it alone.

    It's Not About the Food

    For a long time, I believed food was the problem. I feared certain foods, chased the "perfect" diet, and spent far too much energy trying to control what I ate. But the truth is, my relationship with food was never really about food. It was about living in a body that didn't feel safe. My nervous system was dysregulated, I was stuck in survival mode, and food became another place where that struggle showed up... In this episode, I share my personal journey with food, body image, and healing through the lens of Ayurveda. We explore how stress, trauma, and a dysregulated nervous system can shape the way we eat, and why true healing begins by creating safety within ourselves, not by chasing another diet. If this episode resonates with you and you're wondering where to begin, I'd love to invite you to take my free Discover Your Season Quiz. In just a few minutes, you'll discover which season your body is living in right now and receive personalized guidance to help you understand what your body has been asking for. Take the free quiz here: 🍃Discover Your Season My hope is that this conversation helps you replace guilt with compassion, fear with curiosity, and control with trust. You deserve a relationship with food that feels nourishing instead of exhausting. Whether you've struggled with emotional eating, restriction, constant food thoughts, or simply feel disconnected from your body's wisdom, I hope this episode reminds you that healing is possible. You are not broken. You are breaking open. Until next time, Natalie Maddy

    Welcome Back to Yourself

    There was a version of me that lived disconnected from my body, exhausted in my mind, and constantly in survival mode. I became survival mode. This episode is the beginning of my story and how healing through Ayurvedic rituals helped me feel safe in my body again, changing everything for me. I no longer identify as depressed because I'm not depressed. I AM free, happy, and full of light. Along the way, I hope to share the practices, reflections, and wisdom that helped me reconnect with myself and that I hope will help you do the same. If you've been wondering where to begin, I created a free Discover Your Season Quiz to help you understand what season your body is living in right now. Whether you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready to bloom, this quiz is a gentle first step toward understanding what your body has been asking for. Take the free Quiz here: 🍃Discover Your Season In this first episode of Wild Sattva Ayurveda, I welcome you, wild women. This is a space for those who are ready to soften, rebuild, reconnect, and find their inner light again. We can and we WILL do this together. Remember this… You are not broken. You are breaking open. Until next time!
