Ep 96: Why South Asian and Middle Eastern Women Feel Spiritually Starved in the West with Ruchika Mehta
Description
Have you ever felt like something sacred inside you began to fade after moving to the West?
In this powerful part-two conversation with psycho-spiritual teacher Ruchika Mehta, we unpack the spiritual starvation that many South Asian and Middle Eastern women experience living in Western cultures. We explore why our bodies feel dried up, our nervous systems disconnected, and our souls heavy with invisible grief, even when we’re doing all the “right things.”
You’ll hear us talk about:
- Why women feel more alive, luscious, and connected in the East
- How spiritual nourishment exists in the culture, energy, and body—not just in religion
- The hidden substances in your body that impact your joy, sensuality, and burnout
- What “drying up” really means (hint: it’s deeper than low libido)
- Why your yoga, meditation, or healing practice might still leave you anxious
- How trauma resurfaces as you begin to “awaken” and what to do about it
- The truth about cultural belonging, feminine power, and why going back to your roots could be the medicine
This episode is more than a conversation, it’s a homecoming. If you’ve ever felt numb, disconnected, or like your soul doesn’t quite belong in the modern Western world, this will awaken something ancient inside you.
