The Simple Ayurveda Podcast

This one is a little bit personal. I share some doubts I’ve had about Ayurveda and why I’m over them as well as some of my own mistakes along the path of wellness. I also talk about why some Ayurveda is better than none and how I’m over trying to get Ayurveda “right.” I hope you’ll join in this journey of imperfect Ayurveda.

In this episode I share why and how we don’t bring toys with us to the beach or park, plus a basic introduction to nature journaling with kids. https://simpleayurveda.com/episode-23-minimalism-motherhood/   https://simpleayurveda.com/simple-ayurveda-for-mamas-an-online-course/
