196: Building a Wellness Routine
I recently sent a survey out to those on my email list to see what they wanted to see more of and one of the responses that came back quite a few times was building a wellness routine that sticks. I want to share how I do it and tips for building your own that will fit into your lifestyle. I will also troubleshoot the most common excuses I hear on why it’s hard to make it happen.

Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast and today I’m chatting all about what happens when the pendulum swings too far in one direction.. Introduction Remember last year when I was working on cultivating more kapha into my life? Yay I thought I was good bringing in more feminine flow energy and grounding when in reality I gutted who I was to my core, a fiery pitta who likes to get stuff done. I realized this after I stepped on the scale and had gained about 20 pounds. I just became so out of balance with who I was. Can you be soft without losing your edge? This was a question…
178: Do you have shiny object syndrome?

Action in Ayurveda think- pitta dosha we are doers and getting things done, the to do list is our friend. Now activity comes into play when after we finish our to do list we don’t know what to do so we start another activity. Then another activity and another.
