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, rel...
Ep 84 | S3 E39: The 5 Self-Override Patterns (and Your Ride-or-Die)
This episode we are dropping into those self-overriding programs.
Lets' start with that burnout isn’t the root. It’s a signal. Overwhelm is a signal. The root is self-override: the moment your body speaks and you push past it instead of listening and choosing differently.
In this episode, I walk you through the five self-override patterns I see most often in my work, each held through the lens of a Shakti goddess. Every one carries both a challenge and an opportunity.
We each carry all five, just like we carry all the dosh...
Ep 83 | S3 E38: Let Them Sit in Their Own Discomfort | October 2026 Numerology
How often do you override yourself just to keep everyone else comfortable?
October is a 2 month in a 1 year. That means balance, partnership, and duality: the real kind, where your yes and your no, your rest and your action, and your needs and theirs all get a seat at the table.
In this episode, I walk you through the collective numerology for October 2026, day by day and card by card. We move from Earth to Air to Water, a full spiral back home to yourself.
In this episode:
Why balance...Ep 82 | S3 E37: September Energy Hot, Cool and Honouring the Duality of it All
The numerology energy that September is bringing it stirred up a restlessness I’ve been sitting with around the concept of freedom & duality.
The energy of this month is in a way asking this of us in the identity we are leaning more into, this capacity to be wild and free. To roam our inner and outer landscape with an open heart and mind and knowing that your herd has your back.
All-in-all, this month is not just a new beginning, it’s a homecoming. The month moves from grounding (Diamonds) to the mast...
Ep 81 | S3 E36: August's Energy, Decoded
This month opens on a harvest and closes on a foundation and there's a lot in between.
There's a Queen who leads from solid ground, a new moon daring your boundaries to loosen without breaking, and a full moon carrying a message that doesn't need explaining, just receiving.
In this episode, I'm walking through the full numerology arc of August day by day, card by card.
This is the energy flowing through the month for the collective and knowing your specific energy aka, your ruling number will add in an additional layer of cl...
Ep 80 | S3 E35: What If Menopause Isn't Drying Out - It's Burning Away?
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...
Ep 79 | S3 E34: Your Sacred Coding In Real Time - A Live Reading for This Week
Ever wondered what sacred coding actually looks like in practice?
In this episode I do something a little different - a live breakdown of a reading of Tuesday's collective energy, showing you exactly how the three layers of sacred coding work together in real time.
We move through Pitta season and what the fire element is asking of us right now, Tuesday's numerology and what it means collectively and personally, and how your own unique sacred coding - your Ayurvedic constitution, your ruling number, and your dominant feminine archetype changes the picture entirely.
...
Ep 78 | S3 E33: Everyone Has an Energetic Signature - Do You Know Yours?
What if the key to interrupting burnout, rebuilding self-trust, and finally coming home to yourself wasn't another routine or protocol, but understanding the unique energy you've been carrying your whole life?
In this episode I introduce the concept of your energetic signature and the three layers of sacred coding that make it up, your Ayurvedic constitution, your numerology, and your dominant feminine archetype.
This isn't about labels or boxes. It's about giving you a living map, one that's built entirely around you, so you can stop overriding your signals and start choosing differently from a...
Ep 77 | S3 E32: Release, Activate, Come Home - July's Energy Decoded
July's Energy Is Asking You Something Important
July didn't arrive quietly.
This month is holding a powerful arc, from releasing what no longer reflects your worth, to activating a new identity at the new moon, to landing at the full moon in the deep emotional wisdom of the Queen of Hearts.
In this episode I walk you through July's collective numerology and card energy, what it's asking of us, where it's inviting us to interrupt old patterns, and how it all connects back to the root of self-override.
Because...
Ep 76 | S3 E31: Ritual: The Sacred Return to Yourself
Somewhere along the way, we've learned to push through, ignore the whispers, and wear our exhaustion like a badge of honour.
And then we wonder why we feel disconnected from ourselves.
What if the answer isn't another routine or another thing to do?
Self-override happens when we lose relationship with ourselves.
Ritual is how we find our way back.
In this episode, we're exploring why small, intentional moments of presence can reconnect us to our natural rhythms, restore trust in ourselves, and become a powerful remedy for the overwhelm...
Ep 75 | S3 E30: The Medicine of Sweetness | Honey, Healing & the Art of Receiving
What if the medicine you need right now isn't more discipline, but more sweetness?
In this episode, I'm reflecting on the wisdom of honey through an Ayurvedic lens and what it teaches us about nourishment, receiving, and the subtle ways we override ourselves every day.
A gentle conversation about nature, ritual, self-trust, and remembering that not everything valuable needs to be earned through force.
Because sometimes healing begins with allowing a little more sweetness back into your life.Ready to explore your own unique blueprint?
My Sacred Feminine Coding Sessions weave...
Ep 74 | S3 E29: What Nature Knows That We've Forgotten
Nature doesn't override herself.
She doesn't skip spring and jump straight to summer.
She doesn't ignore her signals.
She doesn't push through exhaustion and call it resilience.
Yet somehow, we've made that normal.
In this episode, I'm diving into what Ayurveda teaches about nature's intelligence, why self-override pulls us further away from our own wisdom, and how reconnecting with nature may be one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with ourselves.
Because maybe the problem isn't that you've forgotten what to do.
Maybe you've...
Ep 73 | S3 E28: Pause, Reflect, Then Choose - June's Numerology Energy
June is asking something of you. Not more doing. Not more pushing through.
More pausing. More listening. More choosing from a place of wisdom rather than survival.
In this episode, we break down the numerological energy of June through the lens of self-override. We explore what the numbers are actually saying about where you might be reacting instead of responding, and what becomes possible when you finally pause and listen.
Because here's the thing: the numbers are telling a story. This month's energy is part of it. And when you understand it, everything...
Ep 72 | S3 E27: Root • Rise • Release • Remember • Reclaim - The Sacred Return to Yourself
What if healing self-override isn’t about becoming someone new, but actually remembering who you already are?
In this episode, we explore the deeper journey of returning to yourself through the lens of the 5 R’s:
🌿 Root
🌿 Rise
🌿 Release
🌿 Remember
🌿 Reclaim
This conversation is a reflection on what it means to reconnect with your body, your rhythm, your intuition, and your self-trust in a world that constantly teaches women to override themselves.
Inside this episode, we explore:
– why healing begins with rooting into the body and the present momen...
Ep 71 | S3 E26: The Daily Moments You’re Probably Overriding Yourself
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 r...
Ep 70 | S3 E25: Turn Your Light Back On: The Power You Forgot You Had
There’s something many women don’t realize they’ve done.
Not all at once. But slowly, over time.
They’ve dimmed themselves.
Not because they’re broken.
Not because they’ve failed.
But because they’ve been giving, holding, nurturing everything and everyone around them, while quietly disconnecting from themselves.
In this episode, we explore what it really means to “turn your light back on"
Not as something you need to become, but as something you’re remembering. Inside this conversation, we move through:
– how self-overr...
Ep 69 | S3 E24: May Energy: Identity, Adaptability & Interrupting Self-Override
There’s a different kind of energy moving through May.
Not loud.
Not rushed.
But deeply transformative.
In this episode, we explore the energetic landscape of May through numerology, seasonal rhythm, and feminine archetypal wisdom, and how it directly connects to the patterns of self-override so many women are living in.
We begin the month with powerful transformative energy, inviting you to look at the patterns you keep repeating, not from judgment, but from awareness.
Because the truth is:
"Patterns don’t persist because you don’t know...
Ep 68 | S3 E23: You Don’t Need More Balance - You Need More Awareness
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.

Ep 67 | S3 E22: Why Most Detoxes Don’t Work (And What Actually Creates Change)
There’s a certain pull this time of year to reset.
To cleanse.
To start fresh.
And while that instinct isn’t wrong…
The way we often respond to it can be.
Because most detoxes focus on what you’re consuming, what to remove, what to add, what to restrict.
But they miss something deeper. How you’re relating to yourself while you’re doing it
In this episode, we explore:
– why not all detoxes create lasting change
– how self-override can still happen inside “healthy...
Ep 66 | S3 E21: When Slowness Turns Into Stagnation (And Why You Override Yourself There)
There are seasons where everything feels heavier. Slower. Harder to move.
And in those moments, it’s easy to believe something is wrong.
That you’re stuck.
Unmotivated.
Or falling behind.
But what if that’s not the truth?
What if you’re not stuck at all, but simply out of rhythm?
In this episode, we explore:
– Why slower seasons can feel uncomfortable in the body
– How this discomfort leads to subtle self-override
– The difference between natural slowness and true stagnation
– Why both pushing and...
Ep 65 | S3 E20: Why Change Triggers Self-Override (And How to Stay Steady Through It)
This month carries a different kind of energy.
Not loud. But undeniably present.
This month there's a pull toward change.
Toward movement.
Toward something new.
And while that can feel exciting… It can also feel deeply unsettling.
Because change doesn’t just bring expansion it brings unsteadiness.
And for many women, this is where self-override begins.
In this episode, we explore:
– Why change can feel dysregulating to the nervous system
– How the desire for stability can lead to subtle self-override
– The difference...
Ep 64 | S3 E19: Self-Override in Relationships: Why You Abandon Yourself Without Realizing It
In this final episode of the self-override mini-series, we’re looking at one of the most impactful and often unnoticed places this pattern shows up:
Your relationships.
Self-override in relationships doesn’t always look obvious.
It can look like over-giving.
Like staying quiet when something doesn’t feel right.
Like saying “yes” when your body is asking for something else.
And over time… this creates disconnection.
Not just from others — but from yourself.
In this episode, we explore:
– How self-override shows up in relationships
– Why this pattern feel...
Ep 63 | S3 E18: Self-Override at Work: The Pressure to Push Through
In this episode of the Self-Override Mini-Series, we explore how the pressure to push through at work keeps women stuck in survival mode.
You’ll learn how self-override shows up in subtle workplace patterns, over-functioning, over-explaining, and ignoring the body’s signals in the name of productivity.
Because burnout isn’t the root.
Override is.
We’ll explore:
• Why high-performing women override themselves at work
• How survival mode becomes normalized in professional spaces
• The moment-to-moment signals your body gives you
• How to interrupt the pattern and build self-trust instead<...
Ep 62 | S3 E17: Self-Override & Health: When the Body Starts Speaking Louder
Your body doesn’t go into burnout overnight.
It speaks first.
Through fatigue.
Through tension.
Through subtle signals that something needs to shift.
In this episode of Igniting Shakti, we explore how self-override shows up in our relationship with health, and how repeatedly pushing past the body’s signals keeps the nervous system locked in survival mode.
This conversation is not about fear or fixing yourself.
It’s about recognizing the moment where choice becomes possible.
When you begin to listen, patterns become visible.
When p...
Ep 61 | S3 E16: How March’s Energy May Tempt You Into Self-Override
March isn’t chaotic.
It’s activating.
With eclipse intensity, change-driven energy, and a strong current of momentum, this month may quietly tempt you into self-override.
In this episode, I break down how March’s numerology and seasonal shifts may pull you toward:
• Moving too fast
• Overcommitting
• Controlling instead of trusting
• Proving instead of pausing
We explore how activation energy (fire), structure energy (earth), and emotional flow (water) can either reinforce survival mode or build self-trust.
You’ll learn how to interrupt override in real time using:
Ep 60 | S3 E15: Burnout Isn’t the Root. Self-Override Is.
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight.
It happens slowly every time you override your body’s signals and normalize survival mode.
In this episode, I break down what self-override actually looks like in real life:
• Pushing through exhaustion
• Calling scrolling “rest”
• Ignoring tension, resentment, and confusion
• Wearing resilience like a badge of honour
We don’t burn out because we’re weak.
We burn out because we’ve trained ourselves to override.
I also explore something deeper, kindness.
Real kindness isn’t performance.
It’s not self-sacrifice.
It’s...
Ep 59 | S3 E14: Rethinking Worth - You Are Not Measured by Output
What if your value had nothing to do with what you produced?
What if rest wasn’t a reward, but a radical return to your innate worth?
In this episode of Igniting Shakti, we dismantle the toxic hustle myths that tell you your value is in your doing. Instead, we reclaim worth as your natural state, not something to be earned.
We explore:
The cultural lies that equate output with identityThe wisdom of the feminine archetype of Parvati - rooted in deep, silent knowingHow daily ritual and rhythm restore your relationship with worthA ri...Ep 58 | S3 E13: Playful Power + Fire Horse Energy: From Sacred Stillness to Spirit-Led Boldness
This week on Igniting Shakti, we step into February’s fiery rhythm, a month pulsing with momentum, vision, and bold movement... but not the hustle kind. We’re leaving behind Snake season’s sacred shedding and entering the wild, intuitive energy of the Fire Horse.
In this episode, I explore:
🌕 What the shift from Snake to Fire Horse really means (hint: it’s not just astrological, it’s soul-deep)
🔥 Why true boldness is born from rest, not resistance
🎭 The energies of the month and how playful experimentation is your leadership superpower
✨ Numerology’s invitation in a 3 Month and...
Ep 57 | S3 E12: Preparing for the Fire Horse...What Are You Shedding?
Let’s get real, January isn’t a race to the finish. It’s a sacred pause.
And before the Fire Horse gallops in mid-February with her bold, take-no-prisoners energy… we’ve got some shedding to do.
This episode of Igniting Shakti is your soul’s permission slip to slow down, look inward, and let go... with intention.
We explore:
🐍 Why Snake season isn’t done with you yet and how stillness, solitude, and sacred release set the stage for everything you’re about to become
🔥 How this moment is asking for discernment not decision...
Ep 56 | S3 E11: Embodying Internal Rest in an External World
In a world that rewards the hustle and glorifies exhaustion… choosing rest is a radical act.
In this episode of Igniting Shakti, we explore what it truly means to embody internal rest not as a break from life, but as a devotional return to your body, your rhythm, and your truth.
We dive into:
🌀 What internal rest really feels like (and how to recognize it)
🌿 Ayurvedic daily rhythms for grounding during Vata season
🔥 Why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable at first, and why that’s sacred
👑 The wisdom of the Crone, and...
Ep 55 | S3 E10: Vision, Devotion & Intuitive Discernment: A New Beginning Rooted in Rhythm
It’s a new year, but your body isn’t here to hustle.
In this solo episode of Igniting Shakti, we explore what it really means to begin again... not from pressure or performance, but from intuitive discernment and sacred devotion.
2026 is a 1 Year in numerology the start of a powerful new cycle.
But January? It carries the energy of a 2 Month calling us inward, into alignment, into relationship with our deeper truth.
Inside this episode, we’ll explore:
What it means to move into a 1 Ye...Ep 54 | S3 E9: The Myth of the January Hustle, And What Your Body Really Needs
January tells us to go harder.
To start faster.
To set big goals and push forward with all we’ve got.
But what if your body is asking for something else entirely?
In this solo episode of Igniting Shakti, we explore why the dominant “new year hustle” energy goes directly against the wisdom of nature, and how to return to your ritual, rhythm, and regulation instead.
We’ll dive into:
What Vata season is really asking of usWhy your nervous system might be screaming “pause”How to honour yo...Ep 53 | S3 E8: Feng Shui, Numerology & Sacred Space with Anngee Marlar

Ep 52 | S3 E7: The Sacred Rhythm of December: Rest, Ritual, and Returning to Your Center
December isn't just the end of the year, it's an invitation back to your rhythm.
In this solo episode of Igniting Shakti, I explore the sacred energetics of early winter through the lens of Ayurveda, ritual, and nervous system nourishment.
While the world pushes you to go harder, finish strong, and hustle through the holidays your body is whispering something different.
It’s saying: slow down.
Come home.
Let this be a sacred pause.
Inside this episode:
...Ep 51 | S3 E6: December’s Energetic Invitation: A 3 Month in a 9 Year
This episode of Igniting Shakti is a sacred invitation to slow down, reflect, and realign.
December isn’t just the end of the calendar year, it holds powerful energetic wisdom in numerology. It’s a number 3 month inside a number 9 year... and that pairing carries deep soul meaning.
✨ The 3 is your voice, your creativity, your joyful expression.
✨ The 9 is your release, your wisdom, your sacred endings.
Together, they ask: What are you ready to say? And what are you ready to surrender?
In this episode, I walk you through:

Okay, my loves - this episode is so nourishing.
I sat down with the beautiful Meaghan Alton, a business coach and intuitive strategist who blends numerology, strategy, and soul to help entrepreneurs create aligned, easeful growth.

What if the patterns you hold, the aches, the longings, the fears didn’t start with you?

How your body holds ancestral memory, through energy, and emotionWhy symptoms (like fatigue, tensio...Ep 48 | S3 E4: Regulation is Remembering - The Nervous System as a Portal to Wholeness
What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself… but remembering yourself?
