49. Holding the Lantern of Ayurveda, Feminine Form Medicine: Ancient Wisdom to Empower Our Hearts with Katie Silcox

In this powerful episode, we have the honor of diving into a timely and deeply resonant conversation on the feminine approach to Ayurveda with Katie Silcox, M.A., founder of The Shakti School and New York Times Best-Selling author. Following the recent U.S. elections, this discussion on the nature of Ayurveda feels especially relevant, as Katie and I explore how we can use this ancient, heart-centered practice to navigate forward, lighting the way for ourselves and our communities. Whether the election outcomes aligned with your hopes or left you uncertain, this episode is a grounding reminder of the healing available when we turn inward, embrace our wisdom, and become agents of lasting change. As a graduate of Levels 1 and 2 of The Shakti School, I’ve journeyed alongside Katie and an incredible community of women for nearly four transformative years. I can honestly say that this work has brought me to the healthiest, most vibrant version of myself. Sitting down for this conversation with Katie is truly a dream come true, and I walked away feeling uplifted, illuminated, and filled with gratitude. We explore the unique power of feminine form Ayurveda and the importance of diving deeply into self-discovery—a theme I hold close to my heart.
