    Episode 167: Ep #167: You are a Creator
    2023/11/13
    You are a creator. Do you believe me when I say that? Or do thing creativity and creation belongs only to those who sing, dance, perform or create art. What if I told you that every one of you is a creator. And that it may manifest differently based on your dosha, but you are able to contribute a unique offering to the world based on your unique prakruti and personality. In this episode we talk about what creation is and is not. How your dosha may impact the final creation product. And how to get over your fears to create something better in the world that only you can contribute.

In this episode I share what I have learned about implementing Ayurveda for myself and my family from the past year of working full time and raising my 4 kids.
