    This Month’s Session: Creating a Morning Routine That Actually Works

    Your evenings set the stage, but your mornings decide the tone of your entire day.

    In this session, we’ll build on your bedtime and sleep rhythms and explore how to create a simple, nourishing morning practice that fills you up instead of depleting you.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Use the 3Ms — Movement, Mindset, and Mindfulness to ground and energize your day
    • Choose the right type of movement for your body, cycle, and energy
    • Build a morning flow that adapts to your life instead of fighting against it
    • Reset your nervous system first thing so you show up with calm, focus, and clarity
    • Prepare the night before so your mornings feel supportive, not stressful

    This isn’t about forcing yourself into a rigid 5AM club. It’s about creating your version of a morning rhythm — one that leaves you clear, grounded, and ready to show up for yourself, your kids, and your life from a place of fullness, not fumes.

    This Month’s Session: Restore Quality Sleep & Reclaim Your Energy, Hormones + Well-Being

    If you’re a burned-out, overstretched mom in midlife — exhausted no matter how many CBD gummies you take, how many yoga nidra sessions you do, or sleep apps you’ve downloaded — you are not alone.

    Even for the most wellness-savvy women, the default advice around sleep often falls short — oversimplified to “just get to bed earlier.”

    The truth is: when you’re navigating chronic stress, hormonal shifts, perimenopause, and the invisible weight of motherhood, quality sleep isn’t that simple.

    That’s why this month’s session takes a different approach — a trauma-informed, body-rooted reset that meets you where you are with compassion, practicality, and tools that actually work to restore your body’s rhythms.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why sleep is the true foundation of healing (and why everything else is harder when it’s off)
    • How to reset your body’s rhythm through consistent routines, hormonal support, and nervous system regulation
    • The most effective natural sleep tools — like castor oil packs, magnesium, bath rituals, and herbal allies (Tulsi, Oat Straw, Lemon Balm)
    • How to spot and shift the stress, stimulation, and habits that sabotage your rest
    • My exact wind-down routine that helped me go from wired and depleted to grounded and rejuvenated

    This isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about honoring your body’s natural rhythms and sending consistent signals of safety to rest. Because when your body knows it’s safe to rest… it starts to heal.

    And when you start to sleep well? The ripple effect touches everything — your hormones, energy, mood, relationships, and sense of self.

    This Month’s Session: Laying the Foundation for a Life That Flows

    If your days feel scattered, reactive, and exhausting, you’re not alone.

    In this session, we explore how to create simple, repeatable “anchor habits” that give your body and mind the steadiness they need to thrive.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Spot the moments in your day that drain your energy and focus
    • Add micro-habits that naturally boost calm, clarity, and capacity
    • Create a rhythm that works with your unique needs, not against them

    This isn’t about overhauling your life — it’s about building a steady, supportive foundation that carries you toward more ease, energy, and flow.

  • #17: Am I Highly Sensitive or is it Autism? How Understanding Neurodivergence Can Heal Burnout and Reclaim Self-Trust
    Jun 18 2025

    For most of my life, I felt too sensitive, deep, intense, and exhausted. But the truth is, I was simply wired differently. And recently, I’ve been exploring what that actually means.

    In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of unmasking and exploring autism, as well as neurodivergent presentations as a whole—and how this clarity is helping me make sense of the lifelong patterns I never had words for: the burnout, the shutdowns, the overwhelm, the deep sensitivity and empathic abilities that always felt like a flaw. and like a lot to live with.

    This exploration has been wildly enlightening, validating, and healing, and I want to bring you into it. Because more than ever, I believe we need real, unmasked, vulnerable conversations—and I know I’m not the only one yearning for them.

    My hope is that this episode not only offers insight, comfort, and reflection, but also helps you feel less alone—whether or not you identify as neurodivergent. We are all walking our own soul curriculum. This journey is about self-reclamation. About coming home. And really, that’s what this episode—and all of my work—is about.

    Inside this episode, I offer:

    • The signs and traits that led me to explore my own neurodivergence
    • The emotional impact of growing up without the language to understand yourself
    • How I’m learning to care for my highly sensitive system as a mom
    • Tools and practices that support anyone navigating stress, sensory overload, or burnout

  • #21: Healing from Chronic Illness to Self-Love & Thriving with Nitika Chopra
    Aug 13 2025

    Healing Chronic Illness, Self-Abandonment & Coming Home to Yourself

    The moment I stumbled across Nitika Chopra’s Truth Talks column on Substack, I was instantly pulled in. Her courageous vulnerability stood out in a space that often feels filtered and performative. I was immediately curious: what’s the root of this kind of strength, clarity, and embodied self-love?

    I discovered that Nitika had spent years navigating life with multiple chronic illnesses — including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and myasthenia gravis — all while trying to find answers inside a broken medical system.

    Her healing journey wasn’t linear or shiny — it was layered, painful, and, as she says, a pilgrimage. One that led her back home to herself.

    Since then, Nitika has built a life and career grounded in radical self-trust, authenticity, and purpose. She’s:

    • The founder of Chronicon, a movement and event series centering people with chronic illness
    • The creator of The Chronicon Foundation, which expands access and equity in healthcare and wellness
    • A powerful writer and storyteller, sharing deeply on her Substack Truth Talks
    • A mentor and guide to others navigating healing through her Life Mastery Incubator

    In this powerful conversation, we explore:

    • The emotional and spiritual toll of living with chronic illness
    • How grief, shame, and emotional abandonment shaped Nitika’s early identity
    • Her journey through codependency, misalignment, and self-abandonment
    • The practices that helped her reclaim her body, voice, and boundaries
    • Why ancestral healing, nervous system work, and self-belonging were keys to her recovery
    • The difference between authentic sharing and overexposing yourself online

  • #20: Understanding Matrescence, Rage, and the Invisible Load with Jessie Harold
    Jul 30 2025

    What if motherhood wasn’t just something you do, but something you become? In this deeply validating conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Jesse Harold—coach, doula, and author of MotherShift—to explore the often-overlooked transformation known as matrescence: the radical, messy, beautiful evolution of becoming a mother.

    We talk about what it really means to navigate this identity shift, why the “bounce back” narrative is damaging, and the real reasons so many of us feel like we’re failing. From invisible labor and motherhood rage to the systemic pressures that leave moms under-resourced and overburdened, we go all the way in.

    Episode Highlights:

    • 01:59 Understanding Matrescence
    • 07:22 The Evolution of Motherhood
    • 15:03 The Concept of Self-Tending
    • 29:30 Systemic Challenges in Modern Motherhood
    • 56:44 Understanding and Validating Motherhood Rage
    • 01:03:26 The Mental and Emotional Load in Partnerships
    • 01:21:12 Empowering Mothers and Transformation Literacy

  • #19: Breaking Mental Health Stigmas, Navigating Cultural Identities & "Fitting Indian” with Jyoti Chand
    Jul 23 2025

    In this raw and resonant episode, Misha sits down with Jyoti Chand — South Asian writer, creator, mother of three, and the voice behind the debut graphic novel Fitting Indian — for an honest conversation about mental health, cultural belonging, and breaking cycles.

    Together, they explore what it means to grow up between two cultures, the pressure to be the “perfect Indian daughter,” and how humor, storytelling, and healing work helped Jyoti reclaim her identity and voice.

    We dive deep into the inspiration and process behind Fitting Indian— a bold and beautiful book that centers mental health, sexuality, and self-worth in a South Asian teen's life.

    From sobriety and sensory overload to parenting, shame, and self-acceptance, this episode is full of truth, resonance, and the kind of brave storytelling that changes lives.

    🔥 Topics We Cover:
    - Growing up Desi in America: identity, assimilation & shame
    - How *Fitting Indian* was born — and why the graphic novel format mattered
    - The realities of depression, cutting, and alcohol use in adolescence
    - Sobriety and navigating social pressure without labels
    - The stigma around mental health and sexuality in South Asian communities
    - How Jyoti’s mom reacted to the book (and the healing it opened up)
    - Raising emotionally safe, self-connected kids
    - What it means to be a cycle-breaker, content creator, and real-life “cool mom friend”

  • #18: Redefining career, identity and purpose in motherhood with Neha Ruch
    Jul 16 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with Neha Ruch — founder of The Power Pause (formerly Mother Untitled) and author of the USA Today bestselling book, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids — and Come Back Stronger Than Ever.

    Neha’s work is transforming how we think about motherhood, ambition, and identity in a world that often asks women to shrink themselves into boxes that no longer fit.

    We explore what it means to claim agency, reconnect to self-worth, and expand the narrative for modern mothers — whether you’re working full-time, taking a pause, or figuring it out one step at a time.

    This one will resonate deeply if you’ve ever felt caught between “doing it all” and wanting to do it your way.

    🔑 Key Takeaways / Topics Covered:

    • Neha’s journey from Silicon Valley to starting Mother Untitled and why she rebranded to The Power Pause
    • What it really means to take a career pause — and why it’s often misunderstood
    • The emotional cost of invisible labor and the pressure to justify your choices as a mom
    • Why ambition doesn’t go away in motherhood — it just shifts form
    • The impact of societal judgment and lack of supportive structures (like paid leave and childcare) on working mothers
    • Powerful reframes for redefining success through each season of motherhood
    • How to return to work in a way that feels empowered and aligned — not apologetic
    • Reflections on redefining productivity, ambition, and enoughness in a culture that often measures us by outdated metrics
