Kate discusses perimenopause and postpartum through the Ayurvedic lens on today's podcast. She shares the similarities and who her new book- Everyday Ayurveda for Women's Health is for as well as her number one tip for both perimenopause & postpartum. Kate O’Donnell has spent the last twenty-five years traveling through the far-reaches of India in search of ancient healing practices to bring back to the United States. Through her own healing journey, Kate experienced first hand how a holistic system creates lasting health. She’s since emerged as a preeminent expert in Ayurveda—the sister science to Yoga—and has built her own method customized for modern Americans. Her individualized approach—“guiding from disease to ease”—has transformed the lives of thousands of people and made her one of the most respected thought-leaders in holistic medicine. Kate is a three-time bestselling author, a highly sought-after speaker and the founder of the Ayurvedic Living Institute where she has educated a generation of practitioners. Kate’s highly anticipated Everyday Ayurveda for Womens Health drops April 23. Thousands continue to heal with Kate through her annual detox programs, community education and retreats, and are inspired to radiant health by her keynotes. Kate’s books, The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook, The Everyday Ayurveda Guide to Self-Care, Everyday Ayurveda Cooking for A Calm Clear Mind, and Everyday Ayurveda for Womens Health continue to be the top resources in her field. https://healwithkate.org/ https://www.instagram.com/kateodonnell.ayurveda Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea Freebie: 5 Day Ayurvedic Toolkit- https://andreaclaassen.com/5-day-ayurvedic-toolkit Ayurveda Self-Care Challenge Starting May 1st! https://andreaclaassen.com/ayurvedaselfcarechallenge Andrea Claassen Bio Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and Personal Trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.

This past week I taught 10 in-person yoga classes. One thing I observed how many people had on Apple watches. Some completely left them alone, while others could not stop looking at them, reading emails, pressing buttons, some even had the watches going off in the class. Have we reached a breaking point with how much we track? Are we losing the connection to ourselves at the same time?

Maetreyii Ma is an award-winning author, psychologist, and spiritual teacher who has developed a worldwide following, bringing forth the deep wisdom that manifests to her both through her inner guru, Baba and in her teacher, the renowned Indian mystic Shrii Shrii Anandamurti Baba. But here’s where this gets really interesting. The Baba that has loved and guided her throughout her long life is the all-knowing spiritual consciousness that embodies divine love and speaks to and, in recent years, through her. And while she met and lived in the ashram of the living guru, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti Baba, in India for eight months before he passed from this earth, the immortal spiritual consciousness he embodied has been side-by-side with her since her college years—long before she met him and after! Her story, beautifully told in her new book Into the Heart of the Infinite: A Spiritual Memoir of an Extraordinary Mystical Journey, is a story of profound transformation that reveals how she came to experience the spiritual ecstasy and beauty that Her guide, Baba, brought to her while integrating it into her “real world” life of wife, mother, psychologist and spiritual teacher—to live a life in awakened, joyful consciousness. With roles as the past founder and president of Ananda Seva Mission, a founding board member of the Kundalini Research Network, and a previous director of the Spiritual Emergency Network, she has long been a guiding light in the spiritual community.
