Today I’m joined by Siri Bahadur for a steady, clarifying conversation about self-trust, energetic maturity, destiny, and the power of shunya — the zero point of neutrality and presence.

Together, we explore why so many intuitive, capable women feel overwhelmed, confused, or stuck in constant self-questioning — and how much clarity becomes available when you stop trying to control life and instead learn how to meet it from emptiness.

Siri brings a grounded, embodied perspective rooted in yogic wisdom and lived experience, offering insight into how destiny is not something to chase or figure out, but something that unfolds naturally when the nervous system is regulated and the mind is no longer grasping for certainty.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Why overthinking often comes from misplaced responsibility
• The difference between intuition, instinct, and mental noise
• What destiny actually means — and why forcing outcomes blocks it
• Shunya as a state of neutrality, emptiness, and deep presence
• How clarity emerges when you stop trying to “decide” everything
• Energetic maturity and standing in personal authority
• Letting go of urgency, pressure, and the need to fix yourself

This conversation is not about bypassing real life or becoming passive.
It’s about learning how to stand still enough internally that life can move through you — rather than feeling like something you have to manage.

In this second episode with Rachel Otto, we have a rich, grounded conversation about mycelium, collective intelligence, nervous system safety, astrology, and the way humans are meant to connect and co-regulate.

Using the wisdom of mycelium networks as both a biological and energetic metaphor, we explore how nature models intelligence, communication, and support — and what happens when humans forget how to be in right relationship with each other and the Earth.

This is a conversation about:
✨ Mycelium as a teacher of interconnection and resilience
✨ How intelligence moves through networks — not hierarchy
✨ Nervous system regulation through relationship and community
✨ Why disconnection creates overwhelm, burnout, and confusion
✨ Relearning how to listen and attune through astrology
✨ The danger of hyper-individualism and self-isolation
✨ Returning to embodied wisdom instead of mental over-efforting

Rachel brings her unique lens of somatic awareness, nature-based intelligence, and relational attunement — offering a perspective that is both ancient and urgently relevant.

In this episode, I sit down with my daughter, Julia, for an honest, unscripted conversation about college, purpose, money, independence, and trusting your own path — even when it doesn’t look like the one you imagined.

Julia recently made the decision to step away from college and move to Nashville. As her mom, this brought up fear, grief, trust, control, and ultimately… growth. Together, we talk openly about why college didn’t feel aligned for her, the pressure young people feel to “have it all figured out,” and what it means to choose real-life experience over forcing yourself into a system that doesn’t fit.

This episode is for:
• Parents navigating fear, trust, and letting go
• Young adults questioning college or traditional paths
• Anyone feeling stuck in a system that no longer feels aligned
• Mothers learning how to detach from outcomes and lead with love

We explore the difference between goals and intentions, how self-care and responsibility evolve at different life stages, and why purpose often reveals itself after you stop trying to force it.

This is not about telling anyone what to do — it’s about opening the conversation, softening judgment, and trusting that there are many valid ways to build a meaningful life.
