Tomorrow is Election Day here in the US. No matter what the outcome is, we have to ask ourselves how we want to proceed. We have taken so much for granted that itâs time to stop making assumptions. Far beyond who the next US president is, the truth remains that how we do things matters. Letâs talk about this concept.
Show Highlights:
Getting to the end we want through force and violence is NOT the answer. (Dr. Robert Svoboda brings the truth forward in his Aghora Trilogy that âThe ends donât justify the meansâthe ends ARE the means.â)Think about how you want to achieve your goals.Negative qualities bring negative karma.Relate this to your business and the outcome you want.Lead your work from a place of ease and spaciousness that honors your body and mind.Our only option is to be MORE intentional.A new way is emerging around self-care, energy, and trusting yourself.Can you treat your life like an altar?Finding personal inspiration from a dear friendGetting to the next level requires change.My advice around taking a pause, listening to your intuition, and infusing more intention and care into what youâre doingThe question: What can you do to bring more intention and awareness into how you are doing things?Resources:

We are diving into the topic of karma and politics with my guest, Dr. Robert Svoboda. Youâve heard him on the podcast numerous times, as we have covered many fascinating topics with him in the past, taking advantage of learning from his wisdom and expertise. We are taking a big-picture view of this political moment in time, along with the karma of being involved in a political system and the dilemma of why or why not to vote. Youâll hear our personal thoughts on current political threads as if youâre a fly on the wall in our conversation. This episode is an overview of how to stay sane in a time when Rahu is on the scene, and weâll explain what that means.
The biggest takeaway from this conversation is that we are in a time of unpredictability and ungrounding energy, and our responsibility is to navigate this season with grace, skill, and overriding respect as helpful spiritual practitioners.

Iâm back after a summer hiatus, and I have much to share with you about how I spent these two months, mostly focused on writing my book. Iâve had the chance to connect more fully with our farm, harvesting, preserving, and canning food. I even experimented with making pickles, drying herbs, and creating herb blends. Many great guests and conversations are coming up for you on the podcast, and I canât wait to share them with you!
We are in the middle of huge astrological events! The ancestor fortnight and eclipse tomorrow are monumental in the way they align. I want to talk about their impact and what you can do during this time. Join me to learn more!
Show Highlights:
Two powerful cosmic phenomena are combining to make this fall a very intense and transformative moment:Details about the first eclipse: tomorrow, Sept. 17 at 10:34 pm EasternThere are signs of ending and loss, and this is a bad time to make aesthetic decisions. We should focus more on spiritual practices.Details about the second eclipse: Oct. 2 at 2:48 pm EasternThere are signs of working with your hands, manipulation and making things happen. This is THE single most inauspicious day of the year, which makes it a lay-low day. This is a good time to honor our ancestors. For your business, steer clear of important conversations and doing business; stay behind the scenes and work on systems and processes. A recap of important dos and donâts for now through Sept. 18 and Sept. 17-Oct. 2This is a great time for extra self-care, less screen time, eating easily digestible foods, and getting extra rest.This is a great time for reflection on âwhat has beenâ in honoring the ancestors and performing rituals to call them forward.How I use the ritual of offering incense and sweets to a body of water on behalf of my ancestors to reduce karmic friction and disturbancesFocusing on our personal well-being can benefit our businesses by putting us in the best shape possible to be in a good flow to move forward!Resources:

Iâm joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is an expert in the knowledge of the Vedic sciences from the traditional Indian teachings, and itâs always an honor to welcome him to the show. He wrote The Greatness of Saturn, a book I highly recommend if you want to understand your obstacles, triggers, and things that keep you from rising to your highest potential. As the planet that holds and unfolds our karma, Saturn is an important planet to understand.

If you are a regular listener to the podcast, youâll know that Iâm in the middle of a hiatus for the summer as I take time to focus on my writing project. During this time, we are airing some of our most impactful episodes that deserve a second act. Todayâs episode aired almost a year ago and features the sister duo from Samadhi Collective. They merge their varied interests and talents to create beautiful and inspiring Instagram content, always sharing their love for all things India. Join us!
Samadhi Collective is an online space and community created by sisters Kamala and Jahnavi. The collective is dedicated to spirituality and self-growth through Sanskrit, Yoga Sutra recitation, mantra, philosophy, art, and music. Their sessions and courses are rooted in authentic ancient philosophies and spiritual practices, which they share with clarity, simplicity, and depth. The sisters spent a large part of their childhood and teenage years in the Himalayan foothills of Rishikesh and have lived for more than ten years in India. Being influenced by Indian philosophy and culture since birth, they have cultivated practices such as meditation, Yogasana, Ayurvedic lifestyle, and Hindustani classical music. Kamala and Jahnavi are currently based between India and Nepal, where they have lived for the past two years. In this episode, we discuss creating a business around your passions, the power of chanting, finding balance with social media, and more!

Iâm taking a hiatus this summer, stepping back from content creation to focus on my writing project, so we will be sharing some of our favorite episodes over the next few weeks. These are impactful episodes that you might have missed, or if not, they certainly deserve to be revisited. Todayâs episode was featured over two years ago as I recorded a live interview at a retreat in Baja, Mexico, with my yoga teacher, Scott Blossom.
Scott Blossom is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. He is skilled at elegantly combining science with the experiential practice of yoga. Scott studied for a long time with the founder of Shadow Yoga, Shandor Remete, and he was also a student of Dr. Robert Svoboda. A yoga teacher since 1997, Scott has been an integral part of my life for more than ten years. In todayâs conversation, Scott shares his journey into traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurveda; what lights him up about his work; and his advice to others who are figuring out their purpose. We also discuss the decolonial worldview, waking up the inherent truths inside us, and the important role that yoga can play in overall awareness.
**Please see Resources below for Scottâs contact info and available resources, along with sign-up links for the Cosmic Business Lab and the Cosmic Business Mastermind.
