The Fertility Series: I worked with Jeanne Rebeiro, part of the Raashi Chowdhary team, for about 4 months, at the end of which - we conceived. I knew nutrition had to be a part of my fertility journey, aware of the excess weight I had gained through Covid and general nutritional overhaul I needed to clean up my diet. Additionally, with a PCOS diagnosis, I wanted to learn about a supportive diet, insulin, blood sugar spikes and more.

In this episode, you will learn:
> The 5 essential ingredients to prepare your body for conception
> How to manage blood sugar spikes
> What is PCOS and how to support it with nutrition
> The role of nutrition on fertility

To learn more about the customized nutrition program I used, contact Raashi Chowdhary directly.

-------------------------------------------

This fertility series is a way for me to document my experience while it's still fresh in memory, tapping into my experiences, journey and expert advice I gained working with various professionals. I hope it serves and supports you. And if you are supporting a friend or family member on their journey of conception, please share this series with them.

Motherhood was a priority for me and when it wasn't happening with the level of ease and simplicity I had anticipated, based on what is commonly shared and explained around conception, I decided to lead my own journey into exploring how I could achieve this goal in a soulful way that felt most aligned to me.

In this episode I share parts of that journey, including help from 1. fertility doctors 2. nutritionists 3. fertility awareness coach and 4. spiritual work. I also sought to work through my diagnosis of PCOS.

and hint...its not a candle!

Hi loves. This episode is straight-from-the-heart. I sat down feeling an immense need to use my voice and the words just found their way out. 

This revelation came to me after years of struggle and sadness, while simultaneously exploring the self-love journey. I was bombarded with all the things that I could do to love myself...and yet...it fell short.

Because it was THIS magical ingredient that was needed to gain that perspective and rebuild that relationship with myself. 
I dont always have it, I dont always practice it but after years of practice and training, it is deeply embedded within.

No matter your relationship status, or your love journey with yourself or others, may this episode serve you.

Love & Light,
Aasheekaa

Have you ever interacted with a clairvoyant?

In this episode of Always Aligning, your host Aasheekaa speaks with clairvoyant Ishita - a gifted psychic, medium, and energy healer, who uses her abilities to help people transform their lives with massive healing and create a strong connection with their own intuitive abilities. Tune in to learn tidbits of tools you can implement in your own rituals, how to trust your intuition and for those skeptical yet curious folks, why this work matters.

I speak with personal experience, as someone who has visited many psychics, astrologers, numerologers etc through the years - Ishita is the real deal! Her gift is very unique to her and is really rooted in healing, and clearing out stuck energy. You won't walk away knowing your full future, but you will learn so much about yourself and so many things will just begin to make sense!
