💣 If you (already) knew it, you would DO it and $💣 If you (already) knew it, you would DO it and more importantly BE it! So NO, you don't (really) know it and hence you don't (already) live it!!! Let.that.sink.in 🔥 There is NO dearth of information in this age of information overload, everything is available at the tip of our fingers. Yet, we have never been more disconnected in how we do life!! WHY❓ While we might have access to all.the.information, few understand it on an intellectual level (knowledge). Even fewer gain insights from that knowledge. So unless we ask ourselves 👇🏽 ✅ Why do I need to understand that information? ✅ What use is that knowledge to me? ✅ How does all that apply to my life - past, present, and/or future? Until then, insights don't come - those magical aha-moments and breakthroughs, the ones where you connect the dots & suddenly EVERYTHING makes sense... And finally comes the doing and the being and the becoming - the ultimate embodying! Sadly, only a fraction of those with the information/knowledge ends up embodying it. My question is - if we don't embody it then what good is the information, the knowledge, or the insight⁉️ Those are all just for the EGO. ❌ Information & knowledge doesn’t mean s*** without embodiment! ❌ Reading dozens of books, consuming all the inspirational content on IG, listening to every A+ podcast doesn't mean squat without embodiment!! OTN, there is NO groundbreaking information you get from my coaching sessions but what you get from coaching with me isn't just information but it is THE ULTIMATE TRANSFORMATION - on a mind, body, and soul level 🔥 Where the EGO & the Highest Self become ONE And that, is quite a process, and requires a ton of conscious effort, patience, time, energy & money. 🚀 So yea, I not only bring you relevant information but I help you gain knowledge & an understanding of how it all relates to YOUR LIFE & then empower you to embody it in such a way that you begin to manifest aka create the life beyond your wildest dreams, in every.single.aspect! If you want to chat about any of it, whether you want to be my client or not, shoot me a DM 💌 ✅ TRANSFORMATION vs. information ❌ . . . . . . .$

You GUYS!!! 🎉 #ad I am thrilled to announce tha

You GUYS!!! 🎉 #ad I am thrilled to announce that I partnered with @buybuybaby on the launch of their new Parently platform - a new online resource full of helpful videos & articles designed to support parents every step of the way of their journey. Visit link in bio to watch 👆🏽 #buybuyBABYInfluencer 👼🏼 On that note, one of my favorite parenting topics to share is newborn massages (something not often talked about). 🍃 Popularly known as Shishu Abhyanga in our ancient Ayurvedic tradition, newborn massages are an integral part of the holistic lifestyle in our household. Regular baby massages have innumerable benefits (stay tuned for the video). 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And regular baby massage followed by bathtime is a favorite time of the day in our house (especially during the weekend) - it's such a special bonding time for the whole family. Involving the older kids in such rituals is also quite important, especially when transitioning from a family of 1 kid to 2 kids (or multiple kids) - swipe right 👉🏽
“NOOO, YOU hold onto MY hand”
🤷🏽‍♀️ Who else can relate!? Who d boss here!? Both my babies LOVE massages & bathtime, below are my tips on how we’ve made sure of that👇🏽 🍼Feed baby at least 30-45 mins before giving a massage
🔥If you live in a cold place, turn on the fireplace to get the room warm & toasty
🎶 Play some music/kids songs in the background
🧴Have your baby soak up all the oily goodness while in the play gym
🐠Put up stickers in the bath area
🧸Don't forget bath toys
🧣Also, a soft hooded bath towel and a plush bathrobe
👍🏽MOST IMPORTANT: Always take safety precautions & consult a professional when in doubt 💯 And some of our favorite bathtime products are - @angelcare bathtub, @fridababy rinser cup, @infantinobaby bath toys, @honest & @babyganics products, and @mustelausa no rinse cleansing water (though not a bath product it hugely helps with baby acne). The above hacks sure make massages & bathtime fun instead of fussy 🛁 🙋🏽‍♀️ Hope that helps & let me know if you have any tips of your own.

My wedding day(s) was a total disaster, probably t

My wedding day(s) was a total disaster, probably the worst day of my life, filled with tears, tears, more tears 😢 BUT thank heavens that my marriage has been the exact opposite (all deets on stories) 🙏🏽 I say worst because of how much we women fantasize about D day since we are little girls, but when we have a rude awakening from that dream, it leaves us feeling devastated. 🤯 Indian wedding (at least that was my experience) involves a ton of drama & revolves around a shitload of ego. The number of opinions, the powerplay, the what-will-people-say, etc are all an absolute nightmare, to say the least. In the grand scheme of things, none of the above really matters (including how grand the wedding was & how much money was spent on it). What truly matters is not what happened on D day but what happens beyond the D day. Though I've done a lot of inner work to let go & make peace with my D day, I can NEVER think of my wedding without all the terrible things that happened flashing right before my eyes. You know, it's kind of a blatant scar, it might fade over time but will always be there. And not gonna lie, by the end of our wedding, I was 💩scared & frantically worried about the future of my marriage (the worst feeling ever for a new bride) but time away with my (new) hubby at the end of that day & us talking things through made everything else insignificant. ♥️ At that moment, I was reminded why exactly I had fallen so hard for this guy, and to this day, I continue to fall for him more & more, with each passing year, and with every hurdle crossed together. Celebrating 11 years with the Yin to my Yang 🥳 🥰 LOVE US, LOVE the LITTLE HUMANS we've made, LOVE our GROWTH & EVOLUTION (as individuals & as partners), LOVE this WONDERFUL LIFE (one that is filled with all sorts of adventures) we've consciously created together as equals, and the best part, it still feels like we are just getting started. P.S. We had met for the first time exactly a year ago on the same date as our wedding, so 12 it is! 🤲🏽 One event, one circumstance, one day, does not define an entire lifetime, you have the ability to define it how you see fit & create the life of your dreams!

Celebrate LOVE every.single.day ♥️ Be truly, m

Celebrate LOVE every.single.day ♥️ Be truly, madly, deeply in love with YO’SELF, including your ‘flaws’ & all (they are the gateway to your growth, physically, mentally & spiritually). When I ask my coaching clients who THEY love the most they give me a long list but guess who’s NOT on that list? 💔 THEY AREN’T Self-love is👇🏽
✨Putting you/your priorities on top of the list
✨Saying yes to you & the opportunities that come your way
✨Asking for help
✨Saying NO to everything that doesn’t align (others expectations, relationships, etc)
✨Walking the talk
✨Showing up for yourself/your growth (every which way)
✨Knowing/setting clear boundaries (with self & others). No people-pleasing
✨Owning your worth
✨Following through on your commitments to self & giving ‘your BEST’ sans excuses
✨Minding your own business Now my dear, go put yourself on that list & NEVA take yourself off of it, not for your partner/kids/friends, for none 📣 🤲🏽Because darling, you deserve the best of you not what’s left of you! When we (learn to) love & respect ourselves the energy we show up with is 🔥 & absolutely NO ONE can mess with that goddess energy. 💯Plz reach out to me if you need help in that dept. It’s what I do, my passion & my purpose! 💃🏽

BLANK SLATE & BAGGAGE ⚡️But 1st, an impromptu

BLANK SLATE & BAGGAGE ⚡️But 1st, an impromptu 📷 with my angel as the sun shone brightly on the last day of our sacred window, 01/21 Per Ayurveda, the 42 days from delivery is a SACRED WINDOW, a duration that affects the mama's health positively or negatively for the next 42 years of her life based on her postpartum care/rituals. Honoring the sacred window, we both didn't leave the sacred space of our home or meet anyone, sacred confinement (except for doctor's appointments, of which we've had many in 8 weeks). We went on our first walk on the 42nd day to mark new beginnings, scroll 👉🏽 Yesterday my Dr. finally cleared me to begin workouts, at (almost) 8 weeks pp. Given how weak I've felt since delivery (have NEVER felt this way, EVER! The medications really did a number on me), now to rebuild myself from the ground up as I wade through pain. While I've now come off those meds (the side effects still persist) I begin a new set of meds for a new diagnosis, more Dr visits/tests to follow (aftereffects of overnight preeclampsia & emergency C-section) As I carry (this huge) baggage, I'm also excited to start with a blank slate & become physically, emotionally & spiritually stronger than ever. All this to say, don't give into the pressure of 'bouncing back' quickly after giving birth, whether doing 'daily chores' just after a week or beginning workouts at 4, it isn't a badge of honor despite what our modern society deems. 📍Every pregnancy is different
📍Every mama's body is different
📍Every delivery experience is different
📍Every motherhood journey is different
✅ DON'T compare your journey to others & expect your pp recovery to be like anyone else’s. Instead, listen to your body, honor your journey, take your time, give yourself grace. My 💔 as I read your DMs, kudos to you mamas for opening up/sharing your stories/struggles with me. Wish our society created/held space for such painful/heartwrenching conversations without judgment. Please plz reach out to me anytime. 🙏🏽 A huge thanks to those who've commented/reached out, means the world even though I'm behind in my responses (barely been on SM, instead soaking up every bit of this sacred time).

It's no secret that I love @Amazonhalo and during the holidays I got the all-new @Amazonhalo View, swipe right [ #ad ] 🎁 If the last 2 years have taught us anything, then it is that nothing is more important than our overall health and wellness and Amazon Halo sure helps me keep on top of mine - from monitoring my activity to measuring my heart rate, to keeping me updated on my sleep quality, to helping me destress through meditation programs, to everything in between 💯 Here are two of my favorite features of Amazon Halo 👇🏽 💚 Halo Fitness features so many awesome exercise programs and workouts to choose from. Whether you want to do cardio, strength, or yoga, you can find it here. 💚 With the Activity feature, Halo automatically tracks walks and other activities that elevate your heart rate for at least 10 minutes and awards you Activity points even when you are cleaning the house or playing with your kids. Goes to show that an intense workout isn't the only way to meet our daily physical activity goals. If you are looking to spend some of the 💰you received this holiday season, then look no further because there is no greater gift than the gift of health 💝

🎄BEST GIFT EVER 🎁 #heartisfull #beyondgratef

🎄BEST GIFT EVER 🎁 #heartisfull #beyondgrateful Santa isn’t the only one that came to town this December 🎅🏻 Swipe right 👉🏽 After 15 days I finally put on a nice outfit, did my hair and makeup, sat on the floor (a huge achievement at this point), took a few photos to capture some memories (because these littles grow up way too fast)🥰 until my body gave me a reality check an hour later and said, now easy mama, not so soon 🥺 P.S. First 📸 as a family of 4 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

RAW & REAL 💔 I feel betrayed, angry, cheated on

RAW & REAL 💔 I feel betrayed, angry, cheated on, disappointed, let down & a whole range of other emotions👇🏽 When I was rushed to the ER that not-so-fine Thursday (an episode that was/is beyond scary & traumatic) I didn't think we'd be having our baby that day. I went from being perfectly healthy to being diagnosed with severe & rare pre-eclampsia overnight. Any further delay in getting to the ER apparently meant that I'd have had a seizure (the doctors were surprised that it wasn't already the case given that all my numbers were through the roof), to even think what that could mean to my baby girl in my belly still petrifies me. The blue tag, a WARNING, is to be on my wrist for 6 weeks, if my BP hits those numbers again I'm to be taken directly to the ER to be treated immediately (I've always been one with low BP). For someone who is all about home remedies & rarely opts for tablets, I've taken more medication in the last 12 days than my entire life combined. All of this feels immensely unfair - after preparing my body for a whole year for this pregnancy, after regarding this pregnancy as the most sacred journey ever, after taking utmost care holistically (following ayurvedic practices, eating healthy, doing yoga, working out, etc, etc), after planning for and envisioning an orgasmic home water birth, we ended up with an emergency C-section & an underweight baby (born at 4.14 pounds) & everything came crashing down on me within a matter of hours. Apparently, this diagnosis could also pose other serious health problems for me in the future. I took every curve ball thrown my way during this pregnancy in my stride & didn't complain once. And then to go through this experience completely shattered me. In the last 12 days, I've broken down way more times than I can count - as they poked me and my baby girl at least half a dozen times at the hospital to draw blood for various tests daily, as I grieve what should have been vs what is, as my BP fluctuates up & down every day, as I continue to feel dizzy & shaky daily, & more importantly as I see my baby girl having to work extra hard to put on weight.
