I have butterflies sharing this one with you. And I say it because when I name it, I can breathe into it and relax. Because this episode asks something of both of us. It asks us to be real. I sit with Tova Olsson , known in our community as Saraswati Studies, a Shakta Tantra teacher, scholar of religion, PhD candidate, mother of two and devoted worshipper of the Divine Mother. We had been in each other's field for a while, my students had studied with her, and when we finally came together durin...

In this episode, I’m in conversation with a very special guest, Swamini Brahmaprajnananda Saraswati , someone I deeply revere. Our connection is rooted in a shared devotion to freedom, and in the living legacy of our teacher, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, whose work revived the traditional teaching of Advaita Vedanta as a precise means of knowledge. I first met her during my time attending courses in Coimbatore. I remember meeting her before she had taken on the role of a Swamini, and it feels mean...

I have to be honest with you… this episode is something I have been wanting to create for a long, long time. Not because I was waiting for the right moment, but because she usually wouldn’t do this kind of thing. And then she said YES. So here we are. In this episode, I’m not just welcoming a guest. I’m sitting with someone who has walked beside me for years… Ingela Indirā Devī is not only a dear friend, she is my Guru Bai, my sister in the same lineage. We have been neighbours in Bali for more ...

In this episode of the Born to Be Free, I welcome Razwana Ananda Devi into a deeply intimate conversation on transformation, devotion, and inner awakening. Born in Scotland to Pakistani parents, Razwana’s journey led her across the world to New Zealand, where the ending of a long-term relationship became a sacred turning point. What once felt like heartbreak opened the doorway to profound self-discovery, guiding her into feminine embodiment, healing, and spiritual inquiry. Rising like a phoenix ...

What if the place that shaped your wounds… also holds a piece of your belonging? There are places we learn to turn away from. Places where we felt too different. Too foreign. Too much… or not enough. Places where we tried to belong… and quietly decided, “maybe I don’t.” And so we leave. We search for ourselves elsewhere, in other lands, other people, other ways of being… hoping that somewhere out there, it will finally feel like home. We reinvent. We adapt. We become who we need to be to survive...

Sexuality is not pleasure chasing. It is alchemy. In this deeply intimate and expansive conversation, I sit with Meher Malik , a mover, mentor, mother, embodiment coach, and graduate in Buddhist Studies, to explore Embodied Sensuality as a lived spiritual path, one that moves through motherhood, lineage, sexuality, emotion, and values… We speak about what happens when women are severed from their senses, from feeling, from intuition, and how that quiet disconnection shapes the way we love, relat...

We are opening this year with a conversation that was recorded earlier, yet arrives with precise timing. Some teachings are not meant for the moment they are spoken. They wait. They ripen.

Tanya and I return to the roots of our spiritual lives. To lineage. To...

Pleasure as Prayer. These words have been moving through my heart as the living theme for this year’s Navarātri Online Festival. The choice is not accidental. For many of us, prayer has been tied to duty, to fear, to heaviness. And pleasure has often been hidden in the shadows, wrapped in shame or secrecy. Yet what if both prayer and pleasure were never meant to be separate. In this new episode of Born to Be Free, I place myself in the seat of the guest, while my dear sister and longtime student...

Have you ever wondered if the very places you resist, the shock, the wound, the contraction, could be the same places that open the door to life’s deepest pleasure? In this episode, I sit with Euphrasia Niyaki , lovingly known as Efu … a woman who carries the transmission of mystery in her very being. Born in Tanzania and rooted in the traditions of her people, she grew up surrounded by ritual, community, and ancestral remembrance. These foundations continue to shape her path as a healer and tea...

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to come home to yourself? Not the version of you shaped by religion, family traditions, or others’ expectations… But the one who remembers. The one who feels. The one who longs to trust again, to feel safe in her body, to make love to life from wholeness. In this episode, I sit in sacred conversation with Hanne Mysen , a graduate of The Muse: The Golden Womb . A woman of many layers. A priest’s daughter. A sensual mystic. A being who chose to meet her w...

In this rare and intimate episode, the mic is turned… This time, toward me. I’m joined by my sister Lovisa Dahl —someone who has walked beside me for years, not just as a student, but as a dear friend and soul companion. She knows me in many forms. And in this conversation, she invites more of me forward. What unfolds is not just an interview. It’s a deeper kind of sharing. A soft peeling back. A remembering. A homecoming. We speak about the Be Woman Project , how it began as a whispered prayer ...

Together, we explore orgasmic freebirth, decolonizing the body, and what it means to be a woman who can hold both the grief of the world and the bliss of creation. Disa shares how she uns...

This episode is an invitation into the quiet, often overlooked space where burnout lives, where our service to others begins to cost us our connection to ourselves. In this intimate and heart-opening conversation, I sit with my beloved sister, Elisa Maran : Ayurveda practitioner, herbalist, mother, and former humanitarian aid worker. We met seven years ago in Sicily during a Vedānta immersion with my revered teacher. She offered me one of the most soul-soothing massages I’ve ever received. Her p...

She is a medical doctor, a specialist in Dermatology and Venereology (Sexual Health).

When she speaks aloud what most have learned to hide— clitoris, orgasm, sacred birth —on a TEDx stage, in a viral article, and on national television? In this episode of Born to be Free , I welcome back Lovisa Dahl, sacred sexuality guide, biodynamic healer, mother of three, and radiant voice for the reclamation of birth as a sacred rite.

In this solo episode of Born to Be Free , recorded in Davos, the birthplace of this podcast...I share one of the most vulnerable chapters of my life. Earlier this year in Bali, I found myself navigating a health crisis that brought me face-to-face with long-buried shame and deeper layers of healing I hadn’t yet met. What you’ll witness are raw clips I recorded just days after undergoing surgery. They are unfiltered, bloody, and real..an offering of truth, not perfection. For most of my life, I’v...

What if the true purpose of your relationship isn’t to complete you, but to free you? This sharing arose within a sacred container inside the Devi Temple —a membership, a space where we come together in devotion, inquiry, and remembrance. After returning from the Eros Mystery School immersion with Dr. Marc Gafni, Kristina Kincaid, Marcus & Vylana Aubrey, I felt the pulse to speak to what was stirring deeply in the field of relationship, marriage, separation, and the eternal path of wholeness...

We’ve been conditioned to chase the thrill…the butterflies, the intoxicating pull, the undeniable chemistry . We’re told it’s a sign, a cosmic green light that we’ve found the one . But what if that rush isn’t leading us to love at all? What if it’s keeping us in a cycle of heartbreak, confusion, and unmet expectations? What if the real secret to love isn’t in the sparks, but in something deeper—something we create rather than just feel ? This is exactly what we explore in my latest episode of B...

So much of our suffering comes from forgetting—forgetting our own light, our connection to the divine, the simplicity of happiness. We search for meaning, for healing, for something that will make us feel whole. But what if nothing was ever lost? What if purification is not just about cleansing, but about returning to the truth of our being? This is the wisdom that flowed through my conversation with two of Bali's most beloved spiritual leaders.. In this episode of Born to Be Free , I am joined ...

For generations, we’ve been molded by the expectations of a patriarchal society that values productivity over presence, linear progress over natural rhythms. This domestication has disconnected us from our true essence, training us to ignore the deeper wisdom of our bodies and conform to paths that don’t always serve us. But there is another way to live—one that breaks free from these constraints and reclaims our connection to the sacred cycles that guide us. Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to ha...

In this deeply reflective episode of Born to Be Free , we explore the idea that self-acceptance and inner freedom aren’t about becoming more or better, but about uncovering the wholeness of our true nature. The journey toward this understanding is not through perfection, but through recognizing that we are lovable and enough, just as we are. Joi...
