Move In Ritual

Ritual vs. Routine — My story on burnout, Ayurveda & Nervous System Regulation


Listen Later

Welcome to the very first episode of Move in Ritual — a podcast devoted to feminine nervous system healing, Ayurveda and sacred embodiment.

In this episode, I share the personal story behind this space — how I landed my dream job in the beauty industry in my early 20s, only to burn out completely by 2020. Despite “doing all the right routines” — the workouts, the planners, the habits — my body shut down. It was Ayurveda and yoga that brought me home to myself.

We explore the key difference between rituals and routines, how modern life disconnects us from our nervous system, and why ancient wisdom like Ayurveda is more relevant than ever. You’ll leave with a grounding Vata-calming practice you can try to soothe your system — no yoga mat needed.

This podcast is your space to reconnect to your body, your rhythm, and your inner radiance — one ritual at a time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • My burnout story and why routines didn’t save me
  • What makes a ritual different from a routine (and why it matters)
  • A beginner-friendly intro to Ayurveda + nervous system healing
  • What Vata is and why it’s so often out of balance in modern women
  • The first ritual to calm your nervous system today

This podcast is for you if:

  • You’re tired of doing “all the things” but still feel off
  • You crave deeper rest, nervous system support and feminine embodiment
  • You want simple, sacred, seasonal ways to feel better — not just busy
