Winter can be cozy and magical, yet it can also leave you feeling dry, scattered, anxious, and depleted.

With a seasonal Ayurvedic lens, this conversation explores why winter tends to amplify vata qualities like cold, dryness, and restlessness, especially when the holidays add more socializing, richer food, and disrupted routines. You will hear five grounding rituals designed to bring in the opposites: warmth, nourishment, oil, slowness, and steadiness, including abhyanga self-massage with sesame oil, a warm spiced milk bedtime ritual, and choosing soups and stews to support digestion and energy.

The guidance also weaves in nervous system care through a winter-friendly digital detox and a return to imagination through epic novels and mythic stories. The invitation is simple: let winter reset your rhythm and support you in feeling held, nourished, and inspired.

When life feels like it is burning to the ground, the goddess Kali might be clearing the way for your freedom.

Host Lisa Marie Rankin explores the wild, liberating and often terrifying medicine of Kali, the Hindu goddess of transformation and breaking through the status quo. She shares the myth of Kali and the demon Raktabija, explains how crises like divorce, job loss or health scares can be expressions of Kali energy, and tells a vulnerable story of how the ruins of her own marriage became the doorway to a more aligned, soulful life. Listeners are invited to notice where safety has become a gilded cage, where they are numbing instead of growing, and how Kali cuts away what no longer serves so a truer self can emerge.

To work with Kali consciously, Lisa offers simple practices like meditating with her image, journaling on where you are choosing safety over growth, and reading the signs inside everyday chaos as invitations to deeper liberation. You will walk away with a new understanding of destruction as an act of love and a reminder that your soul is always calling you toward greater freedom.

What if your true wealth has far more to do with devotion, purpose, and love than the number in your bank account?

Lisa invites listeners into the shimmering world of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of love, beauty, and prosperity, to reframe what abundance really means. Through myth, archetypal insight, and the four aims of life Artha, Kama, Dharma, and Moksha she explores how inner wealth, spiritual connection, and generosity create a life that actually feels rich. Lisa weaves Lakshmi's story with modern life, showing how gratitude, beauty, and sincere devotion magnetize the kind of prosperity that cannot be lost.

She then grounds these teachings in real life, sharing her own divorce journey as an example of losing financial wealth while gaining love, purpose, and spiritual freedom. Listeners are invited to examine where their lives may be over focused on material success and how they can make their lives more hospitable to Lakshmi through grace, generosity, and caring for what they have.

By the end, you are encouraged to see abundance as a holistic tapestry of relationships, pleasure, purpose, and divine connection, not just numbers on a statement. Lakshmi becomes a living presence and guide, inviting you to cultivate inner wealth so that outer prosperity can flow in aligned and sustainable ways.
