Ep 104. It takes time, love and presence to build trust with those we love… but how do we build a true relationship with ourselves, too? Sometimes it gets ugly when we start the journey to become our own friend. In this episode with Radhi Devlukia, we cover the exact practices and questions you can ask yourself to figure out who you really are vs. how your ego wants to be seen, and reconnect with your own voice (even if you’ve never heard it before). While we go deep, we also cover the top 3 Ayurvedic practices you should implement into your day and how to prepare potent kitchen medicine by adding therapeutic spices to your food.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• How Radhi’s cultural upbringing in an Indian home with Ayurvedic influence deeply impacted her life path

• Ayurvedic inspired practices to develop a relationship with your body

• Why sharing your knowledge with the world is critical for shedding your ego

• A reframe to stop letting imposter syndrome get in the way)

• How our “seen culture” translates to social anxiety and people pleasing

• How you can only access the hearts of others when you speak from your own heart

• The one simple practice that will help to align you with your true self

• How ‘mantra meditation’ can be the perfect solution if you struggle to meditate in silence

• Why sitting with yourself in moments of silence and discomfort can help you hear your actual voice

• How to build a sense of identity separate from the value you get from your relationships

• The exact question to ask yourself when you’re feeling self conscious 

• The famous Ayurvedic “CCF” tea that can help your digestion + metabolism

• Why the ancient practice of body oiling (abhyanga) can soothe your nervous system
