This episode shows how to quiet mental inflammation, reconnect with Shakti (feminine power), and build sustainable self-nourishment without adding more to your to-do list.
This is a co-interview between Shivani and Katie, they are interviewing each other.

• Shakti vs. hustle: feminine energy as a renewable source of vitality (especially in your 40s–60s)
• Practical Ayurveda you’ll actually use: tea rituals, circadian walks, grounding, and self-nourishment
• When to choose nature over biohacks (and the few tools that are worth it)
