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 80 | S3 E35: What If Menopause Isn't Drying Out - It's Burning Away?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if everything you've been told about menopause has it backwards?
In this episode I offer a completely different way of understanding this transition, through the lens of Ayurveda, the stages of a woman's life, and the five feminine archetypes.
What if menopause isn't about drying out, fading, or becoming less? What if it's actually about burning away, burning away every limitation, every pattern, every version of yourself you've outgrown so you can finally step into the oracle you were always meant to be?
We move through the Ayurvedic stages of a woman's life, the transition from Pitta to Vata, and how each of the five archetypes, Saraswati, Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, and Parvati maps onto this transition as a complete guide home to yourself.
We also explore the shift from external to internal validation, what true resiliency actually looks like, and why this conversation isn't just for women in menopause, it's for every woman ready to know herself more deeply.
If this episode resonated, it may be because you're noticing where you’ve been overriding yourself.
Self-override keeps the nervous system in survival mode.
Interrupting the pattern is where self-trust begins.
If you're ready to take the first step, start with the free Reset & Rise experience.
And if you feel called to go deeper, the Self-Override Intensive offers personalized support to help you step out of survival patterns and into steadiness.

Remember:
You don’t need to push harder.
You need to listen sooner.
