Today on the podcast, I sit down with someone I've admired from afar for years, Katie Silcox, New York Times bestselling author of Healthy, Happy, Sexy and Glow-Worthy and founder of The Shakti School, one of the first and most beloved online Ayurveda certification programs for women.
We talk about what first called Katie to Ayurveda in her twenties. We talk about soma, the subtle nectar of the body and how it shifts through perimenopause and menopause. We talk about Panchakarma not as an exotic luxury but as a daily practice of coming home to yourself. And we go deeper still, into matriarchal wisdom, feminine sovereignty and trusting the lineage that already lives in your body.
This is a conversation about feminine embodiment in its fullest sense - the ashes of Ayurveda, made into flame again.
In this episode, you'll hear:
~ Katie's journey from AI researcher to Ayurvedic teacher and author.
~ What "soma" means and how it changes through perimenopause.
~ Why Panchakarma is Katie's most passionate practice.
~ Matriarchal lineage and reclaiming feminine sovereignty.
~ Self-oiling (abhyanga) as a daily act of love.
~ Grief, mortality and becoming the center of your own universe.
