  • Season 2, Episode 3.5: Who We Are — A Note to Listeners

    Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

    A reflection on the show's purpose: America carries deep collective and generational trauma, but healing yourself is where real change begins. A reminder that strength isn't about enduring — it's about rising.

    America is experiencing a deep collective trauma—pain passed down through generations. While we may not control the chaos around us, we can take charge of our healing. Strength isn’t just about enduring; it’s about rising.

    When we lift ourselves up, we lift the world with us.

    Through ancient wisdom and proven healing techniques, we will walk this journey together. It’s time to rise. I’ll see you there.

  • Season 2, Episode 3: Collective Election Trauma |

    Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

    We need to collect, gather and build our own coalition to fight these criminals and mob bosses that have taken over our democracy. I will discuss their strategy and next steps.

    Processing political trauma collectively rather than alone. This episode covers strategies for building community and resilience during turbulent times, plus a grounding pranayama breathing technique to close the episode.

    Also, at the end of the podcast, I share a breathing technique that will help us get stronger through this! If you’re interested in this, especially during this traumatic time, stay tuned till the end. I plan to include those at the end of each podcast episode - which I highly encourage you to consider.

    • Season 2, Episode 2: Why Do Men Hate Women?

      Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

      A frank conversation about the rise of the manosphere, domestic violence statistics, and the impossible expectations placed on women — from body autonomy to caregiving to the workplace, often without support.

      Just look at the stats - women are struggling every day in their homes with domestic violence, trying to work and raise their children often alone, and dealing with impossible expectations of us. Yes, we will tell you what to do to your body but boy we won’t help you when the child is here.

        Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

        • Solar plexus pain can often be linked to emotions such as anger, frustration, and anxiety. These feelings can create a physical response in the body, manifesting as discomfort or pain in the stomach area. Working through these emotions with practices like meditation, journaling, or therapy can help reduce this pain.

        • An imbalance or blockage in the Manipūra Chakra paralyses and destroys our energy and triggers diverse physical and psychic problems. If we are unable to think clearly, to express our thoughts and feelings, or if our mind is foggy there is often a disturbance in the Manipūra Chakra. Numerous complaints such as Diabetes, skin diseases, cardio-vascular diseases, Gout, Arthritis, rheumatic diseases, many types of migraines, allergies and many more can trace their origin back to a lack of energy within the Manipūra Chakra and a badly functioning digestive system.

        • Season 1, Episode 9 (Finale): Facing Our Dark Side

          Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

          Healing isn't linear, and no one is "done." This season finale explores the darker parts of ourselves shaped by childhood trauma and PTSD — and how understanding that darkness, rather than denying it, helps us build healthier relationships.

          We share the masculine perspective about trauma and healing. 

          We all have the dark wolf and the white wolf inside of us. We need to feed the white wolf and really look at the dark wolf - the key is to understand how it impacts our relationships and learning how to balance the light with the dark.

          • Season 1, Episode 8: Unconditional Love After PTSD

            Trauma Healing & Kriya Yoga

            What does real love look like after trauma? This episode explores reframing relationships with family who caused harm, honoring ancestors (Pitru Paksha) even through generational pain, and why unconditional self-love is the foundation of healing.

            Change your thoughts and your view on self love. How do we reframe our ancestors (when our family may have hurt us)? What is real love? After all that, where does self love fit in?
