"Never in my life have I felt so grounded, so strong, so centered. Austin, Texas, is my home. This city—this community—is my family. My work, everything I have worked so hard to build and everything I have worked so hard to become, finally has a safe place to nest and expand.
I didn’t realize until very recently that I had never felt truly at Home—until now.
Now that I know what it feels like to come Home—to safety, rejuvenation, beauty, and peace—I realize what I have finally created. Not only a home for myself, but an oasis for my beloved community.
A sacred thread running through my identity has always been Work Ethic and Follow-Through. Another word that comes to mind as I reflect is Integrity. When I say I will do something, that means it’s done.
No matter what it takes, I reach the finish line. And bringing Ayurveda to the masses has been the greatest and most rewarding use of that gift.
I do it for God. I do it for Love. I do it to set a precedent for the next girl or boy dreaming of a career in Ayurveda—or pursuing another noble and worthy cause, whatever that hero’s journey looks like for them. I want to give them the ability to see it and believe that it is possible.
It took me a long time to embrace my role as a Leader. To accept my own innate worthiness. It took exactly as long as it took. But here we are.
For context, I grew up feeling deprived of Love. I was starving for it throughout my 20s and well into my early 30s, which drew me into all kinds of unhealthy relationship dynamics—with myself and romantic partners.
But my parents were kind enough to acknowledge my work ethic. I could sense that it made them respect me. So I ran with that—quite literally. From my first New York City Marathon at 18 to the eight-year marathon of becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor.
This season begins at a new threshold. We are no longer asking whether Ojas Oasis can work. The clinic, the podcast, the online store, the merchandise, the partnerships, and this growing community have answered that question.
Now we are asking: How far can it expand? After a 90 minute hot Vinyasa class this morning, I got my answer to that question. It can expand as much as I can hold and allow it to expand. Which means, everything that has happened prior to this season, built incredible tolerance and strength into my vessel. Which means, great power can flow through it. Life humbled me enough and purified me enough, to realize that great power is a great responsibility, gifted to those who can use it to help others. The leaders I have seen fall from the greatest of heights, fell the moment they tried to hold on to power, vs let it flow and let it go as it chooses. I have experienced life without love, without money, without friends, without certainty. Therefore, the fear of losing or the fear of dying, has been conquered. Because I have already lost 1000 times, and died 1000 times.
In order to serve you all as deeply as I intend to, it requires constant up-leveling on my part. I am always looking at where I can grow, improve, and transmute my ego.
This is what I call Dharmic Equity: the trust, capacity, and enduring value built when ambition is governed by service. It is not power we hoard; it is value we steward.
9 seasons and a billion miles later, we are and continue to be proof of concept.
