Nidhi Pandya is an Ayurvedic Doctor, teacher, coach and speaker based in NYC. Immersed in Vedic wisdom from birth, she draws inspiration from her grandfather, a respected Ayurvedic healer. Her journey led her to formal education in holistic health, culminating in her becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor. However, Nidhi soon realized the limitations of a strictly prescriptive approach to health. This insight spurred her to reinterpret Ayurveda through a transformative lens, making ancient knowledge accessible and relevant in today's world.

Today Nidhi's passion lies in empowering women to become self-aware and live intuitively, achieving Mind-Body Balance. Her Inner Climate Method, taught globally, focuses on realigning the mind and body, fostering radical transformation. She contributes to various publications and serves as a faculty member at the Shakti School.

Today, Nidhi and Sasha explore what it means to Undo Oneself and our energetic debris (or Samsakaras), becoming a hollow vessel to abide in clarity and truth, generational wisdom, and why creating and maintaining a warm and moist inner climate through our dinacharya, ahara and vihara is essential for preserving fuel and fertility for women.

We reflect on the opportunities we have to study, practice, and teach Ayurveda; knowledge that our mothers and grandmothers did not have. We abide in the shared truth that when women heal, families heal, communities heal, the world heals. And we are so excited to bring this to millions and billions of women around the world.

Ryan Strong is an Ayurvedic Doctor, Vedic Astrologer, and Spiritual Teacher in the Kriya Yoga Lineage. He spent 19 years in discipleship training under his Guru, Mr. Roy Eugene Davis, who was a direct disciple of Parmahansa Yogananda. Ryan was ordained by his guru in May of 2011 to continue the Kriya Yoga tradition. He now runs The Center for Ayurvedic and Yogic Healing, based in Sacramento, California, working with students and clients around the world.

For those new to the Kriya Yoga; it is a traditional spiritual path; an ancient system of enlightenment, non-suffering and self-empowerment. It is the cultivation of external and internal disciplines. Through the regular practice of Kriya Yoga, one experiences greater physical relaxation and emotional peace. The goal is to experience clarity and superconscious states of awareness, culminating in the awakening, or realizing, of the true essence of being. Kriya Yoga is a non-denominational spiritual practice open to anyone wishing to experience greater peace, clarity, and wholeness.

Today, Sasha and Ryan explore his spiritual journey, which was profoundly sparked upon reading Yogananda’s book, “Man’s Eternal Quest” at 19, and then onto “Whispers from Eternity” and perhaps his most famous “Autobiography of a Yogi,” - the favorite of a few yogis you may have heard of, George Harrison and Steve Jobs. We learn about personal change agents from Ryan, as he has been a major influence in Sasha's life, both as her Ayurvedic Doctor and Vedic Astrologer for the past 7 years. She is one of many people whose lives have benefited from his mere presence and existence, let alone teachings, and on behalf of us all, would like to say "thank you" to Ryan.

Erin Doppelt is a meditation and spiritual psychology teacher with her masters in psychology from Columbia University. She is also a business coach and full-time mama. Her new book, Nothing Can Stop You, is a self-study book that blends Eastern ritual and Western psychology, inviting you to bring more happiness practices into your daily life.

Throughout today's conversation, Sasha and Erin continually tapped deeper into their authentic selves, particularly through their shared Jewish roots. They intended to explore the meaning of Dharmic Business and Mindful Entrepreneurship, but just as Erin's book invites us to unleash our authentic selves, they could not help but lean moreso into the authentic connection forged through similar backgrounds, love of Israel and India, spirituality, and shared experiences as female Jewish entrepreneurs who resonate deeply with Eastern philosophies. Synchronicity is no coincidence, as Erin also teaches.

“I trust the timing of my life.” What a powerful affirmation, mantra, and relationship with life. For those of you who are new to our show: welcome. We are so thrilled to have you join us.

In today’s episode, Sasha and Erin reflect on the pressures of the proverbial biological clock that women inevitably, collectively face. Whether becoming a mother is a priority, a curiosity, if it just organically happens, if it ends up looking a way you never would have imagined, or if it is not something that seems to be happening yet, how do we make peace within ourselves?
