Serena Arora shares her journey from Calgary to building a wellness retreat center in Costa Rica, where she works as an Ayurvedic health practitioner and yoga therapist of over 25 years.
She opens up about the concept she calls "Imma Guilt" — the generational guilt and inherited weight of obligation and self-sacrifice passed down through immigrant families — and how it kept her stuck in a life of obligation over alignment.
Serena talks candidly about reinventing herself again and again while still repeating the same burnout cycle, the inner child healing that came through her stepdaughter, and the deeper differences between masculine and feminine energy.
The conversation also moves into Serena's current season of caregiving for aging parents, where she reframes discomfort as "dis-ease" — an early signal worth listening to through nervous system regulation and embodiment before it becomes something more. She shares the pause practice as a tool for self-abandonment recovery and reclaiming inner wisdom, the one question to ask before a big decision rooted in guilt versus alignment, and details on her upcoming women's wellness retreat, Living Unbound, plus where to find her book, Unbound.
