350: The Step-by-Step Chai Ritual That Calms Me Every Morning
What if one warm, spiced cup in the morning could calm your mind, energize your body, and ground your spirit—before the chaos of the day begins? In this cozy, soul-nourishing solocast, I’m taking you inside my sacred chai-making ritual. It’s not just about the tea—it’s about how one simple, daily ceremony can shift your entire nervous system and infuse your life with more calm, focus, and flow.
From honoring my Indian roots to finding stillness in motherhood, this is the ritual that’s kept me grounded through burnout, business, and babies. I’ll walk you step-by-step through how I prepare my Ayurvedic chai from scratch—sharing the ancient wisdom of the ingredients, common mistakes to avoid, and how this morning pause can become your daily nervous system reset.
