Igniting Shakti
Welcome to the Igniting Shakti Podcast - where we interrupt self-override and reclaim steady power.
I’m Natasha, and I help midlife women recognize where they’ve been overriding themselves and guide them out of survival mode.
Because burnout isn’t the root.
Self-override is.
When you constantly push through exhaustion, silence your body’s signals, perform instead of pause, and normalize nervous system chaos - survival mode becomes your baseline.
This podcast is where we interrupt that pattern.
Inside, you’ll find grounded conversations on:
• The real root of burnout and chronic overwhelm
• How self-override shows up in your body, work, relationships, and health
• Ritual as intentional presence
• Rhythm as pattern awareness
• Regulation as steady nervous system power
• Ancient wisdom tools - including Ayurveda, numerology, feminine archetypes, and cyclical living - applied practically, not mystically
This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about stopping the override.
If you’re ready to move from survival mode to clarity, steadiness, and embodied leadership - you’re in the right place.

Ep 68 | S3 E23: You Don’t Need More Balance - You Need More Awareness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Balance is something we’re constantly chasing. Whether it's:
More balance in our schedules.
More balance in our energy.
More balance in our lives.
My reflection starts with what if balance isn’t something you achieve, but it's more of
What you're participating in?
In this episode, we shift the conversation away from the idea of “perfect balance” and into a more grounded, embodied understanding of how balance actually works.
Because balance isn’t static.
- it’s movement
- it’s adjustment
- it’s awareness in real time
And where most women get stuck is not in being “out of balance”, but in overriding the signals that tell them they are.
Inside this episode, we explore:
– why balance isn’t a fixed state
– how the nervous system naturally shifts between activation and rest
– where self-override keeps you stuck in imbalance
– how awareness becomes the doorway to regulation
– and how small, real-time adjustments rebuild self-trust
Because the goal isn’t to stay balanced.
The goal is to:
notice when you’re not… and respond differently.
