“I trust the timing of my life.” What a powerful affirmation, mantra, and relationship with life. For those of you who are new to our show: welcome. We are so thrilled to have you join us.

In today’s episode, Sasha and Erin reflect on the pressures of the proverbial biological clock that women inevitably, collectively face. Whether becoming a mother is a priority, a curiosity, if it just organically happens, if it ends up looking a way you never would have imagined, or if it is not something that seems to be happening yet, how do we make peace within ourselves?

Today, as Sasha and Divya sat down to explore Ayurvedic Food as Medicine and why every Vaidya or Healer is a Good Chef, they connected from the heart on so many levels: their shared love of India (Vrindavan in particular), Hanuman, and all things Ayurvedic cooking - including the mission, Divya’s personal healing journey with Ayurveda, the role of the mind in preparing food, as well as the role of the mind in eating food. We invite your Heart space to expand and let the Ojas of our conversation to pour in.

How did we end up HERE? In this moment, in these circumstances? Was it our decisions, our actions, our conditioning, our inner beliefs about ourselves? Well, yes. And the word for that, is Karma.

Whether Karma is a matter of Decisions vs Conditions, or Nature vs Nurture, what we are always aiming to find, is the justification around our life. Why are we here, and they are there? Who gets to decide? Is it all just a random game, are we in a simulation? Ayurveda believes in the laws of Nature, and the Queen is Karma. Our responses and reactions to the conditions we inherit upon our birth, our upbringing, and the experiences through out our adulthood, generate an outcome. It is that simple. Generational traumas are inherited just like real estate or genetic traits and qualities, like our physique or the way our voice sounds.

Today, Sasha and Erin sat down to explore what it is to reconcile with all of our karmas. In other words, every single thing that had to happen to bring us to this present reality. And, to make peace with reality, with whatever we got, whoever we got, and wherever we are. And to make the absolute best out of it. One thing is for sure. It is good to have genuine friends who love you unconditionally, and through thick and thin, withhold judgment. Of all the karmas to aspire toward, this one is probably the most underrated and taken for granted.
