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 71 | S3 E26: The Daily Moments You’re Probably Overriding Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most women think self-override happens in the big moments. But the truth is, it’s happening in the small daily moments you barely notice
The moments where you move past what your body is asking for.
Where your routine becomes rigid instead of supportive.
Where you delay your needs and call it “being productive.”
In this episode, we explore the subtle ways self-override quietly keeps you stuck in survival mode, even when you’re doing all the “right” things.
This isn’t about creating the perfect routine. It’s about learning how to stay in relationship with yourself inside the life you already have.
Inside this conversation, we explore:
– the small daily moments where override actually happens
– how “healthy habits” can still disconnect you from yourself
– the difference between supportive structure and rigid control
– why seasonal living and nervous system awareness matter
– how delaying your needs reinforces burnout patterns
– and why joy is not a luxury, it’s regulation
Because healing self-override doesn’t happen through perfection. It happens through presence.
Through noticing.
Through listening.
Through small, real-time choices that bring you back to yourself.
This episode is to remind you don’t need a better routine. You need to stop abandoning yourself inside the one you already have.
