[00:00:00] Corinne Foxx: Welcome back to another episode of Am I Doing This Right? I'm Corinne Foxx.
[00:00:08] Natalie McMillan: And I'm Natalie McMillan.
[00:00:09] Corinne Foxx: And we are best friends, confidants, millennials, and the hosts of Am I doing This Right? A life how-to podcast from the perspective of non-experts.
[00:00:19] Natalie McMillan: And each week we cover a new topic and we drink a new bottle of wine.
Um, but this is a special
day special edition at the, so we're officially not having our first glass of wine. Right. We are trying something else. You guys, and we're really excited about it. Cause we're going to be talking to Sahara rose today about how to find your. Dharma. We're going to be talking with her about what is your Dharma.
If you don't even know what that is, what is I Veda Doshi says and how to realize the truth of who you are. I love it.
You know, we love these visuals. These are right
[00:00:56] Corinne Foxx: up our alley, our alley. Okay. But now let's get into this non-wine episode. Yeah. I'm actually really excited because you guys know we recorded this early.
It's not even 11:00 AM not even 11:00 AM and it's always a struggle, but we do it for the listener. But today we actually are going to feel revived UConn Bucci we have two options. We have the sun wink, sparkling tonic, and it's not a kombucha. I don't even really know what it is. It's it's a sparkling tonic.
Oh, it's a sparkling tonic with like blueberry and lemon juice and goji Berry extract. And then we also could drink the better Booch kombucha hydrogen. Healer. Oh, and it's your choice? It's dealer's choice my choice. Gosh,
[00:01:43] Natalie McMillan: I'm so curious about both of them, but I think the better boots, one kind of feels like it's calling let's do better boots.
Something about the high biscuits. Also it is 90 degrees today and it is winter. It's a hot day. It's a hot day. So this feels refreshing, you know, I'm in my shorts, which I'm happy about, but, but not happy about the global warming. Right,
[00:02:06] Corinne Foxx: right, right. This is insanity. Yeah. Okay. So instead of a poor, we're going to do a pop, which let's see,
[00:02:14] Natalie McMillan: ah, that was some actual serious kind of here at like
I'm excited. Oh my gosh. Should we do this all the time? Like, do we switch from wine to Booch? You guys does that sound like a dip in the pool? Cheers. Cheers. Ooh.
[00:02:36] Corinne Foxx: Ooh, that was a great choice. It was a great choice. Okay. Well, we'll review it at the end of the episode, but let's get into you, our guests and talking today about how to find your Dharma.
I feel like the, both of us were always hungry for like spiritual growth and to find ways to understand ourselves and the world around us better. And I think Sahara is the perfect. Person to have on. She has the number one spirituality podcast and a wealth of knowledge and books too, to help find our own passions and life purpose.
And she's definitely 100 P and S. We're also kind of newbies to the, the idea of like, I Veda, I, I R Veda I, your Veda we'll find out. And she actually goes to talks about like dosha and dharmas and I don't, I don't know a ton
[00:03:20] Natalie McMillan: about that. Yeah. I'm very baseline. So I'm very excited to learn more.
[00:03:24] Corinne Foxx: Yes. So should we introduce her before?
[00:03:29] Natalie McMillan: So she's a best-selling author of discover your Dharma, eat, feel fresh, idiot's guide to IRA Veda and a yoga path, Oracle card deck, and a yoga path, reflective journal.
What
[00:03:43] Corinne Foxx: doesn't she offer his girl? She's offering it all. She's offering
[00:03:47] Natalie McMillan: it all. She also hosts the highest self podcast, which is the number one spirituality podcast on iTunes with over 25 million download.
That's insane count and counting. She's also the founder of Dharma coaching Institute. The world's first double certification that trains certified Dharma and spiritual life coaches, as well as the founder of rose gold goddesses, the divine feminine mysteries. Throw the word Ms. Miller, you told me sold.
We are enrolled in a mystery school. I love divine feminine mystery school. Say less. She's known for her fun and relatable approach to spirituality that makes her wisdom accessible and relatable, which we love. She's a keynote inspirational speakers. Speaking on stages, such as Google and Facebook headquarters.
She's been featured in. Forbes and recently on the nationwide cover of yoga journal magazine. Oh my gosh. So accomplished.
[00:04:44] Corinne Foxx: We've got to bring her on. Let's welcome. Sahar rose.
[00:04:53] Sahara Rose: Hello. . Hey ladies. Thanks so much for having me on today. Oh, we're
[00:04:58] Corinne Foxx: so excited. We were just saying before we hopped on with you, we don't know. We're like very much so into spirituality and, you know, we meditate and all that stuff, but we don't know a lot about I, your Veda and dosha is, and like kind of what your expertise is.
So this is like so exciting, so exciting for us.
[00:05:18] Sahara Rose: Yeah, I love it with spirituality. There's so many entry points like wellness, meditation, and they really all take you to the same place of really understanding your purpose and why we're here and how to live our best lifetimes. Yeah.
[00:05:30] Corinne Foxx: So we read that we were researching you, we read that you said coming from immigrant parents, you always felt a responsibility to save the world, which I thought was really interesting.
I'm curious how your upbringing guided you to the work that you're doing now.
[00:05:46] Sahara Rose: Mm, totally. So my parents were both, my mom was a refugee and my mom was an immigrant. So coming to this country for them was really about survival. And then, you know, feeling safe enough to have those basic needs met. And I know for a lot of, you know, Americans, we're all immigrants at some level, whether it's your grandparents or great-grandparents, and we all came here for a better life.
And how beautiful is that? And. If you look at Maslow's hierarchy, right? When you have your survival needs met, then you're like, what, what do I really want? You know? And maybe you go for more of the luxuries of life. Then once you have those, you're like, well, those aren't really making me happy. What is my purpose here?
I want self-actualization. So that naturally is what happened to me. You know, my parents really wanted me to go into a safe career path, something that was stable. And here I am, like moving to India and Bali and like shotguns and all the things. We don't get it. We came here so you could be safe and secure and here you are taking a risk.
Like why would you ever want to do that? And in fact, the tension got so bad between, especially my father and I, that it got to a point that we were constantly fighting and he actually disowned me. He said, you are dead to me. I want nothing to do with you as my daughter. And that was so hard because I realized how much of my life I had spent for my parents' approval.
You know, so many of us, we, especially as. Daughters as well. It's like, we want that gold star. We want that pat on the back, we want the, like you're smart. You're enough. You're worthy. And then to be dead to him, it made me realize that, well, I have no one else to live for, but myself. So I'm going to. Do the things that make me come alive, I'm going to step into my curiosities because the truth is I don't want to join the 99% of people who live with the regret on their deathbed of, I wish I lived my purpose.
I wish I did what I love. And truthfully my parents. I'm so grateful for them, but they're not doing what they love to this day. And I think so many of us were taking advice from people who aren't living their dreams, their purposes. So of course, they're going to come from these limiting beliefs because that's all they know.
So a lot of that was the deconditioning, the unraveling, the letting go of all of these false hoods that I have been told. To remember the truth of who I am, the limitless potential that each and every one of us hold. And I also needed to go through that experience to, to believe in myself enough, even when those closest to me did not believe in me.
Oh my
[00:08:13] Natalie McMillan: God. So powerful.
[00:08:14] Corinne Foxx: We talk a lot about our parents and like, Being able to reach a certain evolutionary point that got them to where they are. And it's kind of like our responsibility to continue that evolution, even as their offspring, it's like, okay, they can't get this far. This is as far as they can go.
This is also my responsibility to continue evolving and expanding my mind past what they're capable of, given their circumstances in their, you know, their own history and their own baggage. And when you were talking, I was also thinking, do you have siblings?
[00:08:46] Sahara Rose: I have a younger brother.
[00:08:48] Corinne Foxx: You're the oldest daughter.
I also feel like when you were saying like your parents approval and things like that, I'm the eldest daughter as well and firstborn, and I have that like sense of responsibility. And I have to, like, I was very much a good girl. I was like a perfectionist and I was realizing, wow, so much of that has to do with like, just being the first born and like all the pressure on me to continue this legacy or, you know,
[00:09:12] Natalie McMillan: whatever.
And like you were saying that the deconditioning thing that's so hard to realize, oh, okay, I'm doing all of this for approval, but I have to unlearn it because why am I doing it? This is for somebody else. It's not for me. You know, art Tracee, Ellis Ross, one time she said it was so simple, but it like changed my life.
She said, my life is mine. And I was like, oh my God, my life is mine. Like mine. It was so crazy to me, but I want to know. And I think our listeners too, cause I'm sure a lot of us are kind of newbies here. What is
[00:09:50] Corinne Foxx: Dharma? Cause that's what you, you speak a lot on. Right?
[00:09:54] Sahara Rose: My book is discover your Dharma. So. So that search that I was for, I didn't know it at the time, but it was like, I could just feel I wasn't here to live the same day over and over again, to work a nine to five job doing something that it's like, it's okay.
Like maybe it's like semi in alignment with your gifts, but, but not really. And I was just searching for. Thing this desire to feel something more, but I didn't know what it was. And that brought me to my studies of different spiritual wisdoms, Vedic wisdom. So when I say Vedic, it's like ancient Indian, like the sister sciences of yoga and Vedic meditation.
So Dharma is this. Idea that each of us is part of a unique jigsaw puzzle of the universe and each and every one of us has a unique role to play a soul's purpose and beyond any one career or job or role. It's really how I see it. Like your soul's frequency, it's your expression. So it's the way that only you can speak the lives that only you can impact the way that only you can show up.
So each and every one. If we want to get super spiritual here, it's believed that our souls actually chose our purposes before we incarnated onto this realm. So someone's purpose may let's say Tony Robbins. He may have chosen, I'm going to go through hardship, even abuse and neglect because that's going to teach me how to love myself and how to develop these tools to then share them with others.
Someone else may. Choose the path, the karmic path of relationship issues to then teach those relationship gems to other people. I took that path of being in a surrounding of no woman in my family had ever worked tons of just female suppression. To be a strong woman born in that and be like, no bitch, I'm slashing the patriarchy.
It's not happening anymore. So each of us was born with this purpose. So it's not so much about finding your purpose, but it's remembering it. So as you do this deconditioning, it's like, you are a snowman and you just have put on all these layers of scarves and jackets and mittens. And you're like, oh, this limiting belief that I'll never make money doing whatever.
That's not mine. Oh, this limiting belief that, you know, if are interested in me, I should ignore them. And those that stay are the worthy ones. Nope. That's not mine. And we're like letting go, letting go. And then remembering the truth of who it is that we are. So your Dharma is more than what you do, but it's really who you are.
And then how that translates into your action in the outer world.
[00:12:20] Corinne Foxx: Oh, my God. I love that. You were saying it's less about what you do. Cause like, I think a lot of people identify so much with their career and that's like who they are. And of course like your career, like can totally be an extension of you, but it's also like how you show up in that job.
Like, even if you don't have the luxury of like choosing the perfect job for yourself, it's like, you can still show up to maybe a job. Exactly love, but through the path of your Dharma, do you know what I mean? Absolutely. Like a way of kind of transforming that. And we'll talk later about, we took the Dharma quiz and so spot on, on your website.
It was so spot on, but when we were researching dharmas, um, what came up a lot and you kind of just said it was the Vedas, right. And like, I, your Veda and also dosha because we hadn't really. Heard of those before. And so for our listeners who might not know, can you explain what that is as
[00:13:13] Sahara Rose: well? Hm. So the word dosha means energy.
So these are different energy types that are related to the elements. So there are three dosha types which are Vata, air energy, Pitta, fire, energy, and cough up earth energy. So if I told you, oh, my friend, she's super airy. She's just a total space cadet. You know, she's an airy fairy person. What do you think, just based off of this, this idea, how would you describe someone who's airy?
Like what personality traits do they have? They're
[00:13:45] Corinne Foxx: like kind of flow, easy going kind of yeah.
[00:13:50] Sahara Rose: Yeah. Laid back. Yeah. Like maybe they're like an artist or something. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So we have that idea even in our language and every person. So if I said, Ooh, that guy's really fiery. How would you describe he's
[00:14:04] Corinne Foxx: like in 10, 10 cents fast, like maybe even like a go getter.
[00:14:11] Sahara Rose: Quick-witted maybe. Totally. And what if I said, oh, she's such an earth mama she's so just earthy, earthy, crunchy. Yeah.
[00:14:20] Natalie McMillan: Very ground grounded. Maybe even like nurturing.
[00:14:24] Corinne Foxx: Yeah. Also like could be disciplined to .
[00:14:28] Sahara Rose: So you got it. Those are the doses right there. So that Vata is that air energy. So it's the energy of ideas, creativity.
So someone that has a lot of Vata is going to be full of those creative ideas. They might be an artist. They may have their head in the clouds. And then that also translates to our body because our minds and bodies are reflections of each other. So if I have air, if I was like, Ooh, girls, I feel like I have a lot of air in my stomach.
What do you think that means? Bloated, bloated, gassy, even constipated air in my skin. It's like dry, rough eczema air in my menstrual cycle would mean like I'm not really menstruating or a really small amount. So we can see this Vata, this air, how it shows up in our minds and our bodies and our skeletal structure.
And you can go really deep in then the pit to the fire energy. It's someone who is intense, organized, ambitious, go get. Like that Gary V like hustle energy, a lot of athletes have this in them. They have that drive then in the body. If I'm like, Ooh, I feel like I have a lot of fire in my digestion. It's like inflammation, it's heartburn, it's acidity.
It's, you know, even acne rosacea. And then with the earth element coffee, if I have really earthy mind, I just am really calm and nurturing. Like you said, grounded, like we think of very Bohemian. They're probably like breastfeeding with like a flask there, you know? So we think of that really. Earth like Oprah energy.
She even has that cough. Like you could just really sit and talk to her for a long time. Then if I'm holding onto a lot of earth in my body, my body's going to also be slow, maybe dense. Maybe I have a slow metabolism. I hold onto things. I hold onto emotions for a really long time. I hold onto energy in the form of calories.
So I may feel kind of sluggish and not wanting to work out. I just kind of want to like chill. So. We each have all of these doses in certain amounts. So we're each born with a combination of all. So you may have been born like Korean, you kind of, to me, looked like a Vata Pitta, and I can just kind of tell by looking at someone at this point, what they're born as.
So people who are more Vata tend to have like long and lean bodies more just like tall. Um, I don't know if you like. Did marathon running or dancing, like they tend to be like dancer. Yeah. They tend to be great with that stuff. And then that Pitta is that, that more like that fi like your, your muscular, uh, pittas tend to have more muscle.
They tend to have like strong jaw lines. Um, think Madonna think broad pit for the pit to energy for the Vata air, energy. Think like Keira Knightley, Steve jobs, Ashton Kutcher. Yeah. That coffin energy is. Very feminine. It's really like more round phase. So think Kim Kardashian, she has a lot of coffee, even like Beyonce.
She's like Pitta, Kapha, Robin Williams, Shaquille O'Neal. They just have more structured. So for you, Natalie, I would say like cough up Pitta for you. So you have that like very feminine. They see you have voluptuous lips, you have like big eyes. Like I have a pretty cough, a face as well. So for me, growing up, my issue is I had, I had allergies and asthma, so that's like a side effect of the cough.
So, so we can learn so much. I've written like two books about this idiot's guide to IRA, Aveda and eat feel fresh. So there's so much to go into, but it really is a language that once you get it, you're like, oh, my Vata is off. I'm feeling really cold or dry. Or my pit is off. I'm feeling really inflamed and you know exactly what to do to bring you back into that.
[00:18:11] Corinne Foxx: Yeah, I see. I didn't know. It was a mix of, you could be a little bit of all of them or all of them are inside of you. That makes sense. When you were explaining even just like your physique and how that. Translate into your dosha. Like I took the quiz online and on your website and I got Pitta and now you'd like respond on
[00:18:33] Natalie McMillan: for me.
It's interesting because I took the quiz and I got Vata, which is the air isn't that the airy kind of already won. Yeah. And you're an artist,
[00:18:42] Sahara Rose: but did you get it in your mind? That's my,
[00:18:45] Natalie McMillan: yes, my mind is very, like, I am an artist, like by trade, I guess, but yeah, physically I am definitely much more like feminine and I'm curvier and all that.
So spot on. Honestly, I'm curious. 'cause you, you know, you said you came from immigrants and India and all this. Did you have a understanding of all this iron Veda originally? Or did you kind of pick it up somewhere else and dive into it? They're like, how did you come into.
[00:19:17] Sahara Rose: Yeah, I did not have an understanding of IRA Veda.
My parents came from Iran. So in Iran, it's like a lot of similar understandings of like cooling and warming foods and that kind of thing. But it wasn't like the words Iyer, Veda or dosha is. And then it wasn't until college that I moved to India and studied Irv to after college for two years there. But it was so interesting because even people in India.
Don't really talk about IRA Aveda that much, maybe in terms of like skincare and massage, but because the British rule actually made Iraheta illegal the entire time that they were colonizing it. So it has been kind of forgotten and replaced by the Western medical system. So it's interesting because now people in India are getting more interested in like yoga practices and even IRA Veda cause people in the west are doing it.
So we're both kind of emulating each other. And
[00:20:06] Corinne Foxx: like rediscovering it, which is so cool. You were saying with, going back to Dharma is like finding your path or your, or remembering, remembering, you know, your purpose here. What would you say to somebody who is listening right now that maybe feels like purposeless or loss?
Like where do you kind of start on? Dharma journey.
[00:20:27] Sahara Rose: A really good place to start is just to remember something you love to do as a child. So as a child, we were naturally ourselves. So were you that kid that loved art projects and imagination and charades, and make-believe, that's probably some of that Vata in you.
Were you that kid that wanted to play outside and sports and get messy and be in teams? That's that pitch of the fire child, or were you that kid that's like, let's play house, let's play restaurant. Let's play mom and dad. Let's like pet the animals. Then you are that cough a child. So even if you could think of one thing you love to do as a child and start doing that now, now that doesn't mean.
Being a pianist is your Dharma per se. But if you start doing that more, you start to open up that pathway of remembrance. So maybe from playing the piano, you start to remember, well, I actually really love to play the piano because my grandmother would watch me play. And it was that connection I had with her.
And then that shows you that you really love creating beautiful experiences for people. And then maybe that leads to you becoming an. Planner and, you know, you go from there. So I would just say, start doing what, like, I literally order art projects for myself and I'm like, stand glass. Like let's do it because it was just that thing that lit me up so much as a child.
And then while I'm making my beaded lizard or whatever, I'd come up with my Dharma today.
[00:21:50] Corinne Foxx: I love that. I just recently you guessed that I was a dancer and I just recently started taking dance classes again, which was so terrifying to get back into something that you love. Like, I feel like sometimes you build it up in your head.
At least I did. I was like, oh, I haven't done this in so long. I'm not going to be good at it. Like maybe you won't be fun again. And then the second I walked into that dance studio, I was just like, oh, this is like me. This is like, I have videos of myself, like eight years old, just doing. Horrible dance routines for my family.
Oh my God.
[00:22:18] Natalie McMillan: You did the Napoleon dynamite dance.
[00:22:21] Corinne Foxx: I have a video of me doing the Napoleon dynamite dance. Like I just saw a movie was a hit. It wasn't, it was a big deal back in the day. It was cool when I did it, when I was 10.
[00:22:30] Sahara Rose: What kind of dance did you do?
[00:22:32] Corinne Foxx: I actually grew up a Polynesian dancing, which was like, I it's kind of like cultural appropriation now, but, um, I grew up Polynesian dancing and then I grew into like hip hop and jazz.
And then now I, I still do hip hop. I try to be consistent about it, but it does feel when I'm dancing. It just feels like I'm remembering, like I'm tuning back into myself or tapping into like the source realigning. Yeah. Yeah, for
[00:22:57] Natalie McMillan: sure. I think it's interesting too, because. I think when we think about doing artsy things or things that we really love just being raised in Western culture, it's almost like shame.
It's kind of like, we don't feel like worthy of doing that. It's like, oh no, no, I need to work doing art is like another thing that is, you know, a waste of my
[00:23:18] Corinne Foxx: time. Silly.
[00:23:20] Natalie McMillan: Yeah. When really it's you coming back to yourself and what better way to like. The world Ben to just be yourself. Yeah. You know?
[00:23:30] Sahara Rose: Yeah.
Because we're taught that the only things worth our time are those that make us money and it's like, you know, I'm sure you guys have seen it all the time. And it's like, what is the money for, you know, you have it. And, and the purpose of money is a vessel for you to experience more joy. So why not cut the middleman and start experiencing more joy today by doing what it is that you love.
[00:23:52] Natalie McMillan: Yeah. Cause I honestly think why are we here? Why would we be here if we're not supposed to enjoy our life and explore what we came
[00:24:00] Sahara Rose: here to do. Yeah. And doing what you love will activate you with more ideas that will allow you to step into greater abundance. You know, it's like if we're always on that hamster wheel of doing, we're never going to be able to have the space to allow those higher ideas to come from.
[00:24:15] Corinne Foxx: Yeah.
[00:24:16] Natalie McMillan: So in your book in discover your Dharma, you write that there are three paths to get there. So how do we figure out like which path to take?
[00:24:26] Sahara Rose: Mm, so the first path is that person who wants to take the leap. So if you're someone who's like all or nothing, I'm quitting. My job, I'm selling everything. I'm just going to do it.
That's the leap. Now the leap works for people who are, you know, a bit more all or nothing extreme, or maybe you're like sobered out with what you're doing, that you just can't stand another week doing this. So it may be time for you to take that leap. Now, the leap might not be right for someone that has like multiple kids and responsibilities, or maybe that would put a lot of pressure intensity on them.
So it's better for them to come. Ease into something or figure out what it is that they want to do first. So that's option B that sort of like the slow fade away into your Dharma. So maybe you start taking classes, you start discovering, maybe you try internships or working somewhere, shadowing people until you kind of get ready to a place that there still is going to be a leap.
It's just not going to be like. Uh, 10 foot leap. It might be a one foot leap. And that way you just feel a little bit more prepared for stepping into your Dharma. And then the last is the, is the accidental. So that's when you're not really looking for your Dharma and it just finds you. So for example, my friend's uncle, he was an engineer, his entire life in his fifties, never really questioned it.
And in the company he worked out, they said everyone needed to take an elective and he just randomly chose pottery. He's just like, whatever, I'll just do this pottery thing, get, get this out of the way. And once he put his hands on that pottery wheel and like felt the earth through his fingers, he's like, I need to do this everyday.
It just makes me feel so grounded. So he started to show up every day, every day and he started to make things for people in his office. And then they're like, Can you make me an entire like table kit, I'll buy it from you. So we start selling it and now he is a full-time Potter. Like that is what he does.
And the beauty of it is he so could have easily had said, I don't have time for pottery. I'm so busy. I'm an engineer like this isn't for me. But he followed where the Dharma journey was guiding him and was able to open up to, you know, the most beautiful experience in this.
[00:26:36] Corinne Foxx: I love that. How much of it do you think is like you finding your Dharma or your Dharma finds you.
[00:26:43] Sahara Rose: I think your Dharma is always whispering. It's like, yeah, it's always outside of you. Like, Hey, like you love to dance, like get back to dancing. Remember that thing that you loved
[00:26:52] Corinne Foxx: to Aggie me for
[00:26:53] Sahara Rose: years I could hear exactly. So it's like, are you going to listen? And that's really what intuition is, you know?
Like, everyone's like, how do I have more intuition? It's just, do you listen to the whispers of your soul louder than the screams of your. And if you can do that and make that your practice, you will always be guided by your initial. Yeah.
[00:27:14] Natalie McMillan: And the ego puts you in so much fear too. Like I was thinking with the pottery story, it's like, if he was afraid of, well, I can't leave my job because, you know, uh, I won't be able to sustain my life or whatever.
He never would have leaned into it. And so he really was able to kind of shed that ego mode. And come into it and that's amazing.
[00:27:35] Corinne Foxx: It's amazing. So you have this course, the 21 day Dharma journey. I'm just curious about the number 21. Is there a reason that you chose 21 and then also, what do you offer
[00:27:44] Sahara Rose: throughout those courses?
Yeah, so it normally takes 21 days to really create a habit. So 21 days of questioning and being, most of us have never thought about our purposes before. Like how is this not a class in school? They're like, Okay. Like you're 16 years old. What do you want to do for the rest of your life? It's like, bitch, I don't know.
Like no one is going to be like, and then, and then we just end up in this pathway. That's not ours. So even just for 21 days. So for 21 days, I give you different questions and prompts and practices to do to help you remember your Dharma and you actually walk away with it with a, I call it a Dharma blueprint.
So it's an integration of what mediums flow through you. What archetype you are. Excited about what obstacles you've overcome, what your superpowers are and bringing them together towards an action. And that doesn't mean you need to know exactly what you're doing for the rest of your life. It's just, where can I put my energy next?
And then that will guide you along the journey. It's like, once you start to learn the dharmic language, you start to listen to your intuition. You kind of know when your soul contract with an experiences.
[00:28:51] Natalie McMillan: Oh, my gosh. That makes so much sense. I mean, current and I talk about these. All day, every day. Yeah.
[00:28:57] Corinne Foxx: We're going to, we're signed up for the course. We're already signed up for this course. We took the quiz online and we should share what we got the basic quiz. And I'm curious what you think these mean or like any advice you have? So I took it and I got, these were the personal Dharma archetypes, and I got the activists and the visionary
[00:29:20] Natalie McMillan: and I got the artist and the nurturer.
[00:29:25] Sahara Rose: So, how do you feel they show up for you and your life? I mean, we
[00:29:29] Corinne Foxx: took, we took the quiz and we were texting each other. We were like, yes, this is so spot on. Like I do a lot of nonprofit work and it is so fulfilling to me. I work with the national Alliance of mental illness. I also work with the endometriosis foundation of America and girl up.
And if I could work with even more nonprofits, I would, it's so fulfilling to me whenever I have a meeting. Join the, to the national Alliance on mental illness and the endometriosis foundation of America on a call together, I brought them two together and I was literally in tears at the end of the zoom, just because I was like, oh, I'm just so happy.
I could bring these organizations together to align on something. So when I got the activist, I for sure was. Totally understand why I got this, but then the visionary was one. I was like, I don't, I, I guess I'm a visionary, but I don't, I didn't really know how
[00:30:18] Sahara Rose: that girl you're a visionary you're on a podcast.
[00:30:21] Corinne Foxx: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I shouldn't know exactly how that shows up in my life. I should probably think about it more yeah.
[00:30:27] Natalie McMillan: Into it more. Well, the other thing about you, that's like a lot of people I, I don't know, would know it's, it's so genuine that you genuinely. Love to be an activist. It's not, it's not for show.
It's not for like, you would do all that quietly on your own. I do a lot of it. Yeah. It's it's truly like your soul for me. Okay. So the artist makes sense because I am
[00:30:53] Corinne Foxx: her own jewelry company. She paint. She's a beautiful
[00:30:56] Natalie McMillan: painter. Oh yeah. I was doing that since I was probably before I could write. And then the nurturer, I think.
I am a very nurturing you are. Yeah. Just
[00:31:08] Corinne Foxx: by you give great advice. Like I've been going through a lot right now. And like I leaned on her so much, probably too much, but you can just, you just have this like warmth to you and this understanding too, of like the human experience. It feels very good when you're having a hard
[00:31:23] Sahara Rose: time and I love how they reflect your guys's dosha.
So for you, Natalie, the artist is your Vata, your creative artists energy. And then the cough is the nurturer, the ability to connect and hold space and make people feel seen and just be this like really heart-centered person and be able to interview people and really listen to them. And again, Oprah energy.
And then for you Kerryn, it's that Pitta of the activist. That's like, okay, I'm going to change the world. Like let's do it. Like, and then that visionary of let me be the voice for it. Let me use my gift of being able to speak of being able to reach these people and then bring in these causes that they may not have been aware of before.
So both of you are living your Dharma.
[00:32:08] Natalie McMillan: Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So I know we have to wrap up, which is we could ask you, we have so many more million more questions, but you have your podcast, the highest self podcast, and you usually ask your guests what makes you your highest self? So we wanted to ask it to you
[00:32:26] Sahara Rose: back.
Oh, I feel what makes my me and my highest self is my creativity. I believe that we're all here to be creative channels for what source is asking to be moved through us. So when I can just get out of my own way and be in that state where. Flowing with ideas and inspiration, movement, art, whatever that thing is that I am being a conduit for that.
I can feel that something bigger than me is moving through me and I just need to show up in service. That's when I feel like my highest self. Wow. So are you Vata? What are your just I have, yeah, Vata Pitta. And then what's
[00:33:06] Corinne Foxx: your
[00:33:06] Sahara Rose: archetype visionary teacher.
[00:33:09] Corinne Foxx: Oh, yeah. Well, that's fitting, of course. That's totally, totally fitting.
Well, sorry. It was so wonderful. Speaking with you. We are signed up for your 21 day Dharma journey and we're so excited for everything that you're doing and putting out and thank you for schooling us
[00:33:25] Sahara Rose: today. Well, thank you guys so much for. Giving a voice to this ancient wisdom out this time, you know, so many people are so deeply needing it right now.
And for those listening on the quiz that you guys took is the Dharma archetype quiz.com. So people can take that quiz to start to learn more about their dorm archetype.
[00:33:45] Corinne Foxx: Yeah. We'll link to everything you're doing in our show notes for our listeners, so they can find you and connect with you more.
Awesome. Thank you so hard. Have a great rest of your day.
Love her. I love her love that we're living our dharmas. I know that's the official sign
[00:34:07] Natalie McMillan: off their stamp of approval, but do you feel like we
[00:34:10] Corinne Foxx: really are? Cause I do. I mean, I feel very, as of late, I feel very blessed to be able to, cause I do think it's a privilege. I was, I was trying to say in the interview, I was like, you know, we were very privileged that we get to live our truths, but I also feel like if you feel stuck in a job right now and you're like, I can't, I need this job.
There's still a way to show up to it through your Dharma. Yes. Even if you can't exactly do what you want to do right now. Well, even
[00:34:34] Natalie McMillan: as she was talking about the engineer to. Pottery pottery got like, you know, he fell into that and then it guided him in. So they could find, you know, fi
[00:34:44] Corinne Foxx: they should do the quiz.
Really. You ought to go on the website and do the quiet deal. Guys. We'll have it linked in our show notes and everything that she's doing, her podcast, her courses, her website she's she offers so much. So wonderful. And we hoped you guys learn more about dharmas Doshi does and all of those incredible resources, but I sure did.
[00:35:05] Natalie McMillan: I know, I really I'm excited to go because, you know, we love to research things, correct. Oh
[00:35:11] Corinne Foxx: yeah. And I agree to be on a, you're going to go down a rabbit hole
[00:35:14] Natalie McMillan: and go down a rabbit hole for a long time. Probably. I love a rabbit. Okay.
[00:35:20] Corinne Foxx: Now, should we circle back on this better Booch, Ty discuss healer kombucha.
We've been drinking this little epi. I, well, first of
[00:35:30] Natalie McMillan: all, should we introduce the Hottie? Oh
[00:35:31] Corinne Foxx: yeah. Okay. So our Hottie is Mr. Orlando bloom. Mr. Pirates of the Caribbean himself.
[00:35:39] Natalie McMillan: Oh, what was his name?
[00:35:40] Corinne Foxx: Will, was it.
[00:35:43] Natalie McMillan: He was so
[00:35:44] Corinne Foxx: hot when I was, when I was nine years old. That was my
[00:35:47] Natalie McMillan: man. Oh, see, mine was Johnny Depp as Jacksboro.
This is very much track this tracks
[00:35:52] Corinne Foxx: fully for our prototype. I remember he was hot too. I thought he was hot, but Orlando bloom was my
man.
[00:35:58] Natalie McMillan: Oh yeah. But it was like, I remember being in a theater as like a nine year old. I would love to marry this man. They about to be here a real rare breed truly. Oh my
[00:36:08] Corinne Foxx: gosh.
Well, okay. So we chose Orlando bloom because him and Katy Perry, they have said that they are bound by a spiritual evolution and he's he actually embraced Buddhism after living kind of like a crazy nonstop lifestyle. Yeah. So they're very grounded, spiritual people. I
[00:36:26] Natalie McMillan: wonder if there, I wonder what their dishes are.
Oh, you know, that grounded there what's their,
[00:36:33] Corinne Foxx: what's their combo. I wonder if there's like you attract like your partner. It's like,
[00:36:39] Natalie McMillan: you know, I'm going to find out when I go down my rabbit hole, you know,
[00:36:44] Corinne Foxx: one to Orlando bloom, what do we think of this better Booch, hyperspace, healer kombucha.
[00:36:49] Natalie McMillan: I have not one single complaint.
I don't know about you.
[00:36:53] Corinne Foxx: The only thing is, is it kind of drying your mouth out? I'm out this very dry.
[00:36:57] Natalie McMillan: No. Interesting. Oh, now
[00:37:00] Corinne Foxx: that I'm thinking about it kind of does a little bit on the after at the end. But I love the flavor. I love everything about it. I would 1000% get this again. Me too. I'm going to give it a nine out of say nine, a nine out of Orlando bloom for the butter Booch kombucha.
healer flavor. This is all at night.
All right. This is the part of the episode where you play a little wrap-up game and we're playing a new one. You guys, we played at one
[00:37:30] Natalie McMillan: time. We
[00:37:31] Corinne Foxx: have played this before what we played at the end of the year or the year, then here's
[00:37:35] Natalie McMillan: one, but we decided we should play roses. And thorns.
[00:37:41] Corinne Foxx: So our rose get it and get it.
It actually took me a while to figure out why we just like, why are we playing this one? And she was like, rose. I was like, yeah. And she was, I was like, oh yeah, that makes sense. A little play on words. Okay. So we're gonna be talking about the roses and the thorns of our week or the rose or the thorn of our wheat.
Yes. Should we do thorns first see thorns because, you know, end on a high note.
[00:38:05] Natalie McMillan: So my thorn this week was just, I've been having a lot of issues with my business and just like things getting hung up in like different places and people not communicating things. And it's just. A true thorn in my ass. Okay.
It's been weeks of this stuff, but I think, I do think that it has concluded as of this week, but the beginning of the week, I was just like, oh my God, how much more can I do up this? You know, none of my business, I love my business of the, um, bullshit of the bullshit. Yes, exactly.
[00:38:43] Corinne Foxx: Okay. Well, my thorn is, um, more of a specific event.
I showed you the picture I've been looking forward to my manager, had a baby, and you've been trying to FaceTime me with this baby. And I have been missing the FaceTimes until finally he FaceTimed me and I could answer it. So what I do is I answer it and I scream. I go, oh my God. And the baby starts crying.
Uh, staring like crying, screaming. And I think I startled the baby and it wasn't the word because I was really looking forward to this FaceTime and I, and I done fucked it up. You know
[00:39:20] Natalie McMillan: what though? Luckily you'll have more opportunities. We'll
[00:39:25] Corinne Foxx: rebuild the relationship, but. Say that this was not a good first impression.
And I don't know if she was thrilled about me. Well,
[00:39:32] Natalie McMillan: I hope it doesn't impress into her subconscious. Oh my God. I didn't even think about that. Well, actually that brings me to my role. Okay. What's your role kind of on brand for this episode? So on Monday I took this course, this like workshop about the subconscious mind.
And it was so fun and interesting.
[00:39:51] Corinne Foxx: What was it? Where w where can we find it? It was a one-time
[00:39:54] Natalie McMillan: only class. Okay. Natalie. I know, I know. And people, I guess, were like emailing her and were like, well, I want it right. Did you record it? Blah, blah, blah. And she was like, no, it was a one-time thing. It was like three and a half hours.
It was so interesting. It was just about like, How your subconscious kind of like rules your whole life really? It's like 95% for sure. And then kind of how to like, communicate with it and get through those limiting beliefs that she was talking about. And it was just so like put it in a perspective that made so much sense to me.
Like even in like a masculine, feminine energy, which obviously is not actually like gender specific. Yeah. And just like buy an energy type. It was so interesting and fun for me.
[00:40:37] Corinne Foxx: Wow. And only for Natalie. Cause it was a one-time thing. You guys
[00:40:41] Natalie McMillan: like

We had. We didn't know anybody. We didn't have dinner reservations. We walked up and down the main little drag we walked in, we watched the Olympics in a little bar. Then we went and got pizza and we like ate it on the street. Like we just had love St. Louis. Oh my God. We had the most magical weekend and just night really?
