What are you here to do? What’s your soul’s purpose?

In this episode, I’m diving into dharma—the unique path you’re meant to walk in this lifetime. In Ayurveda, dharma is more than just purpose; it’s the essence of who you are and why you’re here. But reconnecting with your dharma isn’t just about personal fulfillment—it’s a radical act of resistance against systems that profit from keeping us disconnected from ourselves.

I’m sharing my journey from burnout and anxiety in the digital media world to rediscovering alignment through embodiment and Ayurveda. We’ll unpack what dharma is (and what it’s not), why living in alignment with your purpose is deeply healing, and how decolonizing wellness is part of this liberatory work.

This episode is for you if you’re feeling stuck, restless, or unsure about your next steps. It’s for anyone ready to leave behind the grind and reclaim the ease, flow, and deep sense of fulfillment that comes with living your truth

As we step into 2025, it’s easy to get swept up in all the “new year, new me” energy—but what if there’s a different way to approach growth?

In this episode, I’m flipping the narrative on reinvention and sharing my journey from chasing external validation to embracing self-acceptance rooted in remembrance. Together, we’ll unpack how societal pressures—shaped by capitalism, colonialism, and systemic conditioning—convince us we need to "fix" ourselves, and why breaking free from those stories is an act of liberation.

I’ll also guide you through a simple, reflective exercise to help you reconnect with your core truths, release the pressure to perform, and set intentions that align with your authentic self. Growth isn’t about erasing yourself—it’s about remembering and nurturing the brilliance that’s already within.

Reflection prompts from this episode:

• What’s one thing you already love about yourself?

• What makes you feel most like you?

• What messages about self-improvement have made you feel like you’re not enough?

• How can you lovingly let go of those ideas this year?

• What do you want to nurture or deepen in your life this year?

• How can you honor your growth while staying true to yourself?
