 I'm really happy to be here with Shreta Parmar. She is part of my group coaching program and we've been friends for years. It feels like we've actually met each other in person several times in New York. And Shreta, wonderful to have you here. Thank you for doing this. Yeah, and now thank you for always sharing, you know, your spaces and engaging with you. Well, let's start with your intro. So, folks who are watching or listening can have a sense of what you do. We'll go from there. Yeah, so my name is Shreta Parmar. I'm the creator tricks of gutsy or living, which is digesting food, thoughts and emotions for both intuitive living. And I facilitate seekers on the wellness and spiritual hamster wheel who are hopping from one modality to another, to one course or certification to another to get the clarity and solutions that they deeply desire from their own experience with the eternal truths of Ayurveda and the ancient wisdoms. So specifically what this looks like is I help create customized diet, lifestyle and herbal plans to harmonize the neurohormonal enzymatic secretions in your mind and body temple for complete well-being and for higher consciousness. Beautiful, wonderful, yeah. And so you are one of the helpers in the coaching program, which means we're gonna be doing these interviews several times this year and people who are watching can see your progress along the way, all your learnings. And today there are some great learnings there that I feel like those watching will benefit from. So how shall we dive in? Should we just, you know, whichever idea you wanna share first and let's go from there. Yeah, I think, you know, one of the things, you know on this solopreneur journey that I feel or anyone kind of also more specifically coming into your field in your learnings and courses is to just embody like a deeper sense of self-honesty about kind of your one's own vision and the capacity and stamina. Because I think we were conditioned to just always be in comparison mode, right? Even though on the spiritual path that's not what it's about. But that's just how in our limited minds and bodies we're conditioned in that way. And so I always feel like, you know kind of be like a baby, you know, they don't care. They're just so spontaneous. There's no comparison. They cry when they wanna cry. They poop when they wanna poop. They're just so present around in their being right in that moment. And so I do feel like kind of starting off with something that may be apparent and simple but I just like to for myself remind myself especially to just constantly be self-honest with oneself and which will then entail kind of like, oh, am I gonna take this course with George or not? You know, or will I even listen to this video or not because that's part of time and energy management. Because if we don't tighten up these kind of energy valves then it can affect, right? Our creativity, our passion and so many different things. So that's one of the things that I find myself constantly reminding myself. And also as a caregiver to an elderly mother, you know that's just something that's very real that I have to even more so than usual be constantly assessing. Right, right. Thank you. And of course I always, I say the word too much, authenticity. Right? It's essentially what you're talking about. Like to be real with our sense of like our stamina our boundaries, how we're structuring our day and time. And if we are honest and authentic the question of whether to watch George's courses or videos should always be yes. You know, no kidding. No, no, no, no, no, it is, I agree that we have to, so tell me more, what else, what other aspects of sort of self honesty you think is important to kind of growing your authentic business? Yeah, you know, it's just kind of like, what is true to, you know, yourself? You know, do I really want to show up to George's call or not? And that's okay if you don't and giving yourself permission to just honor what you're feeling. I love rebels. So. So. I think, you know, that's part of it. And then also even like any of your, anyone's teachings, right, if that's the resonance is resonant for oneself or not, you know, and then or tweaking it, right? Tweaking it, pivoting in a technique or teaching that you share so that it's helpful for you and it's not overwhelming. Yeah. And another thing you kind of focus on is just, well, your modality, your healing is about the integration and, you know, something you've wrote in the notes to me is like about, you can't separate your health and your soul calling, like talk about that. What do you mean by that? And how does that relate to our work, you know, our business? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, being authentic is being whole, right? Right. And so here, you know, what I see, you know, in my own journey or constantly see in, you know, in our, a lot of different communities, we're trying to build an authentic business that literally at a chemical level and as a Eastern medicine practitioner, the basic things, if you're, you know, your hormones and enzymes, et cetera, aren't secreting properly and syncing up properly, then it's gonna be difficult to find the joy or more challenging to find the joy. And then you could apply or learn whatever techniques at this external way, but in your mind and body temple, if this matrix within these rhythms, right, just like in your work, you focus on rhythms, right? Rhythm of consistent content creation. So here we, in my world, which is about the inner world, how did these rhythms of nature or circadian rhythms, which is commonly more familiar to people manifest and how different enzymes and hormones are secretion, which can give you, you know, more health and more clarity in one's life, et cetera. So that is a big factor because how can you be authentic if you're not feeling well, right? Or in flow and thing, you know, et cetera, or energy levels, right? So those things, and then you have to get your own clarity, right? Your own insights into your own journey. So having daily habits in Ayurveda, we really focus a lot on daily habits that support gut health, which is where the transformation energy lives. So if you wanna transform any kind of stuckness into more movement or flow or you wanna transform a state of being or a state of something, then that energy has to be catered to and focused on. So that's kind of like what I, in the inner world of rhythms, right? So focusing on these rhythms is really a critical part in your external business-building world. So that's kind of where the bridge and the union has to happen more. So one can talk about self-care and health and other things, but it just becomes these two separate things in our thinking and our living versus kind of this more integrated and union practice. So yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I agree. Like the rhythms are, I think it's more important than people realize. Like, so this is interesting with authentic rhythms. Like here's a question that I have for you and you can share from your experience. How do we respect our just normal feelings? Versus, I guess, try to like live into a structure that we create for ourselves. So, you know what I mean? Like there's, like, because part of the, part of health means to be aware of, to become sensitive, right? To one's state and one's bodily rhythms. And at the same time, we also need to be aware of what we're doing. To if we wanna have a business and be consistently serving our audience, we need to have a structure. So like, talk about that a little bit. Like what have you discovered in integrating these two? Yeah, and so again, in Ayurveda, health is if you're not happy, you're not healthy. It's kind of actually boils down to that. So what is, then what are those practices that you may have to do to recalibrate the five elemental and these three bio energies that we work with in our mind and body? And so structure could look different for who you are. You're leading not from an external mind created structure but you're leading from the inside out. So for example, somebody who is more air and space dominated element, they may require another structure that's more productive for them versus somebody like yourself who is a little bit more fire dominated and earthy where Excel spreadsheets come very easy to you. And that comes naturally, right? So that structure works for you. So there's no right or wrong structure when it comes to the ancient wisdoms. There's no right and wrong at the end of the day. It's really like seeing like, okay, who am I? That existential question. And then according to that, what is working? What structure will make me feel more natural in it in that way? So it's not about, you need containers, right? Like you need some sense of direction. Maybe another word for a structure or something. But now like assessing kind of like, hey, what are my natural tendencies here? And how am I gonna create this business model or my joyful productivity schedule that's gonna be fit for kind of who I am? According to these natural elements because that's the truth. You can't deny nature's truth. That's not negotiation. That's, you cannot deny it's energy. So what might it look like for, like you said, if there was a air space more or air, yeah. Air and space, right? So for someone who's more like that, what would you imagine? What guidance might you offer for how they might structure their days or the way they operate themselves? Yeah, and so one method is, for example, looking at the bio clock of the day. When I look at a clock, it's not just numbers. And it's about kind of what energies are dominant in that. So in Ayurveda and a lot of natural sciences, we apply the law of opposites. And so one of the reasons, for example, I think a lot of your students happen to be creatives and healers and they tend to be more air and space dominated because you share that grounding and focused fire energy, which helps to balance off their energy, right? Because at the end of the day, we're all connected. And so the kind of dance that's happening here in like who you're attracting naturally is happening because that's what they need, right? Because their natural state might be air and space. And again, this is generalization. We're all five elements. And then here, they're attracted to your systems because that's yourself. And so they can, one action, that's why they are taking your courses. And then to kind of look at, let's say, a joyful productivity of like a practice of CCC, categorizing, give structure and a label, right? Which brings from this elusive, floaty thing to like let's ground it in a label on your calendar or something like that. And so that's one thing that grounds and balances off that elemental energy. And it's very hard to understand a lot of times because this is not normal talk or the way people think, right? Looking at the bio clock, as I started to share, there are times during the day where that earth element is more dominant in the early morning time. So that's maybe something where you might wanna focus on doing some of your work where the grounding energy is you feel more present in your mind and body and helps to better focus during those times. And again, it's such a vast science. And again, it's a workshop in itself. Yeah, no, it's good to hear kind of the initial thoughts on this, it's really interesting. And yeah, maybe you can do a workshop on that at some point. Okay, I wanna just at least get into talking more about your priorities and your offer. And then we can circle back around to other things too, but just thinking ahead in the next few months before we check in again on another interview like this, like what are you working on? What's important for you and your business? Yeah, and so like I started to share, it's a union of like the rhythms that I have in my personal practice for my spiritual and personal health care is then really applying it to my business practices. So it should come second nature almost like, we don't think about charging our phone or our laptops these days, right? I mean, it's just not something you think about, you just do it. And so similarly, my aim and priority is to have a consistent rhythm of content as, and I'm excited about the new Soul Gym content program that you just launched today actually, right? So, and so really share my unique point of view when it comes to Ayurveda, make it really practical for folks, which is really hard to understand or restrictive, which is how I think people perceive what Ayurveda is. Also, I find there's so much new agey, trendy energy happening in the Ayurveda yoga world and I want, I'm gonna be grounding it back into what's truths and how it could be easily applied more. And some of that will be also sharing more courageously, living my brand more of gutsy living, right? Being bold on podcasts and sharing with ideal hubs and collaborators, et cetera. And the third thing is launching unique body of work of subconscious repatterning for babies before the womb, in the womb and after the womb. Oftentimes we think of subconscious patterning, oftentimes adults start to address it in their adulthood, 30s, 40s, 50s onwards. And this is what conscious parenting can look like so that we're setting up a strong foundation for our babies and our children to deal with life's challenges and make the right choices for their own soul journey later on in life. Awesome, yeah, that sounds exciting and really, yeah, crucial work for people very visionary, more thinking of course because they're already helping their, the baby's future, from the earliest part. And so tell us about your current offers. Yeah, and so currently I do a lot of kind of single, I work one-on-one mostly. So that looks like having a one-time consultation which is not something I totally focus on because the habit change as you know, takes time. So I do single consultations 21 day and 45 day programs where again, as I was sharing before we focus on how do we recalibrate these rhythmic enzyme and hormone secretions through of the body and mind so that things can sync up better so that we see the results of not just for our health but then also in our lives because that vibration then will also spill out into other life changes that we have no control over but that's just kind of how things work in life, right? Like things start to ripple effect. So those are some of my current offerings and this second offering is the mom of the baby subconscious reprogramming consultations that I do for pregnant and new families as well. So I've been doing that work. It's just that when I said one of the priorities is just launching it and more education webinar form this spring by the spring more. So yeah. Yay, that's great. And so of course I'll have the links to your social media, et cetera below, people can follow it and look forward to learning more from you on your journey. What else, anything else you wanna, what's that? Thank you so much for your support and all your teachings. It's such a huge part of bringing some of this work more out. Thank you, yeah. And thanks for showing up and for others in the community too. Anything else you wanna share before we complete today? Yeah, I think just overall, one of the key things for your programs or for a lot of our community members is just to kind of be natural like just as you said, like no expectations. I know you like the blog with Gita a lot and that's a crucial text that in our radar and my spirituality that we follow is just deconditioning ourselves from no agenda, no attachments and no expectations and just kind of being and stuff. So I look forward to, yeah, that embodying more of that experimentation energy that you also are talking more and more about and doing yourself as well. So yeah, I think it's just such a huge part of like just being alive, right? And just, and it brings so much life and freshness into anything we do versus like, oh, let me think about this or it can cause a little bit more stagnation or blockage or something in that way. Yeah, no, it's good. I'm kind of full circle for me, but as you're talking about this non-attachment and experimentation because back to the rhythms that you started with, that's what we're creating a rhythm for. Rhythm for experimentation without attachment, knowing that as we keep on that rhythm with our content, with our offers, things naturally grow and we observe where it grows, we'll nurture it more of it. Yes, non-attachment, that's good, that's good. Yeah, and just allowing that non-attachment I think allows that, that Akash, the air and space element to grow, right? That spaciousness to also at the end of the day, we don't control anything. So something that we may not think, like right now might, when you asked me that question of what is one of some of your priorities, but I'm like in the process of the doing, something else might birth, I don't know, right? Like I can be like, hey, I wanna launch this more publicly, the subconscious repatterning work, but I'm also staying open to maybe something else arising in the process. And maybe that's what it was supposed to be, right? And versus maybe it wasn't about the launch of the repatterning work and stuff. That's great, great example. Yes, I think the message is just like staying really open. As you take the action, right? That's the important part, keep taking the action and then be at the same time open to what may arise. That's totally out of your limited, limited mindset. Yeah, yeah, sure. Thinking, so yeah. All right, well, thank you, Shweta, for sharing of yourself today and with your clients, audience, and with the community members in the program. So thanks for all that you do. Thank you, thank you. Yeah.
