What if you could navigate life’s chaos, transitions, and even conflict with a deep sense of understanding and peace? In this episode, Kate welcomes Yogi Cameron, former supermodel turned renowned yoga and Ayurveda practitioner, for a transformative conversation on consciousness, detachment, and living in alignment.Yogi shares his extraordinary journey from the height of the fashion world, working with icons like Madonna and Versace, to decades of study in India, and how that shift taught him to see life’s challenges through the lens of karma and higher awareness. He offers practical wisdom on releasing judgment, transforming jealousy into understanding, and making choices rooted in what we can truly influence rather than being consumed by what we can’t control.Together, they explore purification rituals for mind, body, and spirit; the dance between outer beauty and inner growth; and why connecting with others (even those we disagree with) can elevate our own consciousness. Yogi’s perspective reframes frustration over politics, environmental issues, and societal division, showing how detachment isn’t apathy, but a way to stay engaged without losing your peace.If you’ve ever felt weighed down by worry, judgment, or the noise of the world, this conversation offers a grounding reminder that while we can’t control everything, we can choose how we meet it: with clarity, compassion, and conscious action.If this episode speaks to you, please share with a friend, leave a comment, and drop a review—I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway!MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:(00:00:00) From Fashion Fame to Spiritual Awakening(00:13:19) Navigating Change, Releasing Worry & Choosing Higher Consciousness(00:33:50) Purification, Nourishment & Choosing a Higher Path(00:48:04) Connection Over Judgment: Understanding Others Through Compassion(01:02:30) From Judgment to Understanding: Choosing Wellness in Every Interaction(01:16:00) Yogi Cameron’s Journey & The Power of Self-OilingResources:• Website: inspireliving.co • Instagram: instagram.com/yogicameron • YouTube: youtube.com/yogicameron • Yogi Cameron’s books on AmazonConnect with Kate:• Watch the episode on YouTube• Instagram• Website• Book

Through somatic work, Britt found not only her own healing, but a revolutionary path to guide others home to themselves.This episode is a tender masterclass in becoming strong without hardening your heart.MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:(00:00:00) From Survival to Somatic Healing(00:07:22) Redefining Strength: From Armor to Embodiment(00:21:41) What Somatic Healing Really Is(00:33:00) Slowing Down to Speed Up(00:37:39) Healing Changes Who—and What—You Attract(00:55:03) Healing the Past, Changing the FutureIf this episode speaks to you, please share with a friend, leave a comment, and drop a review—I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway!Resources:• Body First Healing: Get Unstuck and Recover from Trauma with Somatic Healing• Britt’s Website: brittanypiper.com• The Body Keeps the Score• Somatic Experiencing InternationalConnect with Kate:• Watch the episode on YouTube• Instagram• Website• BookRawish is produced by Crate Media.

What happens when your body gives out — but your soul wakes up?In this unforgettable conversation, Kate sits down with former attorney, speaker, and truth-teller Scott Mason to talk about identity collapse, spiritual resurrection, and the life-altering wake-up call of a near-death illness.With brutal honesty and emotional depth, Scott recounts the mysterious health crisis that changed everything — a spiral of pain, disconnection, and a prophetic dream that marked the end of his old self. From that collapse came clarity: truth isn’t just a value — it’s a path.This is one of the most honest, profound, and healing conversations ever recorded on Rawish.MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:(00:00:00) Opening(00:04:27) Stepping Into Your Greatness Is Messy(00:12:32) A Near-Death Experience Begins(00:23:00) Your Number’s Up: The Dream(00:26:55) “Am I Going to Die?”(00:36:41) Zombie Life vs. Real Life(00:43:23) The Man Who Saved My Spirit(00:50:50) Cheesecake & Death: Life’s Contrast(00:52:36) What’s the Lesson?(01:00:00) There Are No Answers.

In this soul-expanding conversation, Kate is joined by yoga teacher, author, and wisdom-keeper Reema Datta, whose book The Yogi’s Way offers a 12-week roadmap to real, lasting inner peace.With a calm presence and deeply lived insight, Reema shares how her most powerful teachings were born not from the heights of her success—but from the depths of grief, anger, and heartbreak. Through family lineage, personal transformation, and ancient yogic philosophy, Reema introduces us to a new way of understanding yoga—not as a workout, but as a way of being.This episode includes a live guided meditation and breath practice you can do with Kate and Reema—so you’ll not only understand consciousness, you’ll feel it.MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:(00:00:00) Meet Reema Datta & the Yogi’s Way(00:06:00) Emotions Are Human.
