In this episode, I will be talking to Sangeeta Pillai.  I was honored earlier this year to be on her award-winning Masala podcast talking about my experience with abuse and being a South Asian woman not being born in India but born in brought up outside of the motherland so to speak and how that still impacts how we are brought up in a foreign country figuring out how we fit in.

Sangeeta has personally experienced the damage that is done by taboos in our culture. She grew up in a slum in Mumbai. I was the first girl in my (very traditional) Keralan family to ever have a job. She had to fight for everything: from the right to cut my hair short to not having an arranged marriage like everyone else around me. Like so many other South Asian women, she grew up surrounded by shame and taboo. Particularly, shame around my body, my sexual self, periods….the list was exhausting.

Her hope is that young South Asian girls can see the work we do and no longer feel that sense of shame or taboo that I felt growing up.

Sangeeta created Soul Sutras to be a feminist platform,  where w South Asian womxn can express themselves openly, without shame or fear. Where she explores all sorts of cultural taboos from sex, sexuality, periods, menopause, mental health, shame, sexual harassment to…nipple hair!

 

Soul Sutras is all about creating safe spaces for South Asian womxn to tell their stories, to express our pain and to connect with each other and explore our common cultural identity.

Today, Soul Sutras ® is a successful platform for tackling taboos in South Asian culture. Their projects include:  Masala Podcast, silver winner at the British Podcasts Awards featuring interviews with fierce South Asian womxn about taboo topics  Masala Monologues series of writing workshops in the UK & the US as well as theatre shows  An anthology of essays and stories written by fabulous South Asian womxn  Panel discussions and talks around South Asian feminism  Interviews on BBC Asian Radio about female sexuality in South Asian culture.

In this episode,  I am speaking with an incredible woman, Maria Diaz! 

Maria believes that once the work of forgiveness has been done, there is no point in looking back.   Join us as we discuss Maria's journey and listen out for a special surprise guest!

Maria Diaz has been an entrepreneur for the past 18 years. She is the founder of Your Orgasmic Life. Through her coaching programs, she guides men and women to ground into their sexual self-expression and embrace living an orgasmic life. 

She had a major life shift through her journey with breast cancer in 2014 that gave her access to her transformation.  

Shifting from self-doubt, self-sabotage, unworthiness, lack of leadership, and a toxic relationship into designing a life full of joy, love, fulfillment, playfulness, fun, adventure, and authenticity. Living unapologetically from her core values with love, freedom, and courage as her foundation. 

Her mission is to unleash others in their sexuality, sensuality, and intimacy as they release shame and what stops them from developing a juicy, loving, and blissful relationship with themselves and others with love, compassion, vulnerability, integrity, and open communication as its foundation.

On this episode I will be speaking with Lisa Taylor!

Listen in as we have a heart to heart about what it take to forgive and what we gain when we do!

After graduating from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor’s Degree
in English and History, Lisa found a love in building businesses. She
started with Adapt Ability, moved on to Canstem Leasing a division of
Roy Foss Motors, and eventually into the wonderful world of sales.

2005 as a sales representative for a bulk raw material and ingredient
supplier in the Nutraceutical industry, Lisa lead the Sales and
Marketing Division, and eventually moved into formulating and launching
several new retail weight loss supplements under Health Canada natural
product regulations.

In 2008, Lisa moved into the recession proof industry of Heating and Air
Conditioning for Naylor Group and then moving onto Black & McDonald. A
decade in this space provided her professional business development
training where she learned with the best sales leaders in consultative
selling, and excelled in the industry.

In 2016 Lisa moved into the entrepreneurial space, and launched a Health
& Wellness business representing a sexy E-commerce Live Clean brand.
Here she was able to combine the nutraceutical industry with her sales
success to ascend to the top ranks of her company while building a
community of loyal customers and a team of successful peers along the
way.

2017 Lisa left the Corporate world and began to build the Durham Region
Chapter of H.U.B Inc. After 3 years of growing this chapter into a huge
community of like minded entrepreneurs, she left to put the focus needed
during the Pandemic to develop a much needed program that would overcome
the shame and judgement she discovered to inhabit the weight loss
products and marketing space.

In 2021, Lisa launched the Clear Body System a weight loss program
intended to help make weight loss healthy, simple and sustainable for
women around the world.
