The Yatra Sisters

It's time for our summer farewell! We are all yatra sisters! And we all need time to follow dreams, reset, re-balance, and re-group. Join Sherita and Allison as they laugh, dream and offer support to everyone needing time for a summer of dreams!

Making a master sheet can be challenging task. Especially when the objective is to make the list large and then make it small. A master “give a sh*t”sheet should only have include things you really care about and eliminates all the things you don't! Join Sherita and Allison as they discuss an interesting and intelligent way to create your Master List.

Sexy, sexy, sexy time! Do you wanna have a sexy weekend? Heck yes! So learn how to plan one, what to call it, how to act during one and who to invite. Sexy holidays shift energies, experiences and even ignite the dull mundane routines into fiery passions. Join Sherita and Allison as they discuss the importance of saying the word sexy and then leaping into the art of “doing sexy” in order to feel the brightness of exciting emotions inside us all!

We all need teachers. And as we age, we can feel detached from the ways to find a “good teacher”. Luckily, The Great Masters leave behind lessons that are timeless and accessible to learn at any given moment. Join The Yatra Sisters as they honor and celebrate the great teacher, Dr. Maya Angelou. Her quotes, or shall we say words orchestrated into a passage of pure wisdom, contain a depth of knowledge that is transformative. She is a teacher we all can still sit in front of her spirit and learn. Be a student with us and soak up her knowledge on this special episode.

In Beyond The Mic - Allison and Sherita takes the topic of the podcast (Spring Cleaning) a little deeper.  Join us as we discuss why we like to have conversations instead of giving advice.  The importance of taking what you need and leaving the rest whenever some shares information with you.  We also talk about about the (Spring) window of opportunity is ever closing instead of ever opening so we may need to jump on an opporunity sooner rather than later.  And most importantly, we discuss how we would love to hear from you!  Enjoy 

The secret to success is that it's your secret to tell. Success is personal. We all define it differently. The key to finding your definition is noticing how things feel. Such as your day, your job, your relationships or hobbies. Success feels passionately and creates fulfillment. Success feels stable and secure. Success is pleasant and rewarding without being achieved through fear and negative force. Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about the different types of success and why you must know your definition, instead of listening to others!

Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining past 7:00pm and an optimistic energy is swirling around. It's spring! So it must be time for Spring Cleaning!!! Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about transitioning from the hibernating winter into a fresh new season. More importantly, how to move into this new moment without the baggage of yesterday. Springing into this season with only the choices we want, tossing the “should's, along with the things that no longer matter or things we have out grown”. Spring cleaning our lives into purposeful living.

Who me? Noooo, I'm not this important. I don't know what I'm doing or how I even got others to think I am this capable. I'm just playing dress up and following the script. Yep, that feeling is called Imposter Syndrome. And it's a common feeling we have all encountered. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about this feeling and how it may actually be a good thing to experience and a new way to see your whole self.

Fine, I'll do it myself! Whew. How many times we have muffled this under our breath. Why? Why do we feel we must do it ourself? Join The Yatra Sisters as they dive into the reasons we feel this way and how to break the cycle. Let's become vulnerable, but with the right people!

Beyond the Mic insightful conversation about HO' OPONOPONO

What does one do when one has experienced betrayal? Should we reflect on our own behavior, give grace to self and others or simply cut the person off? Betrayal is everywhere, in every walks of life. It happens in love affairs, friendships and in the business world. Join The Yatra Sisters as they dive into this extremely vulnerable topic.

HO' OPONOPONO is a traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. It involves learning to heal all things by accepting "Total Responsibility" for everything that surrounds us – confession, repentance, and reconciliation.It you are READY to change your life in the most POSITIVE WAY, it's here for you. It's a prayer for self!I Love YouI"m SorryPlease Forgive MeThank You

Wake up, have coffee, get dressed, drive to work, talk to the same peeps, drive home, eat and sleep. During the day repeat the thoughts, repeat the feelings, repeat the routine. Yep, that sums up most of living. The autopilot zone. It's ok, you are not alone.Most of us feel comfortable in autopilot zone. But we shouldn't get too comfortable here or suck in its grey tones. Autopilot must have purposeful moments woven in to keep our lives in harmonious balance. Purposeful moments of gratitude, joy, appreciation, rest and happiness.These two zones of existence swirled together keeps our passions fueled and lifts us out of feeling stuck or alone! Join The Yatra Sisters as they ease our minds and make living day to day a bit easier!

It's ok, just ask. You may be surprised what you learn, what you can gain or what you should lose….just by asking. Questions lead to better understanding and deeper conversations. They allow us to discuss our wants and hear others needs. So why the fear?Why do we fear to ask someone for help or how they can give you support or something you need? Yes, it is true sometimes when we ask…we get a bitter truth. But usually that truth was needed for us to move forward instead of embracing a lie. Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about times in their lives that “just asking” changed everything!

Hide and watch! Yep, that's the topic…and it means more than you think. Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about the ways we can hide and watch, the different ways to use this belief and who we should be hiding and watching! Karma is real, people tell you who they are, what goes around comes around….you just gotta hide and watch!

Finding your mind is different than losing your mind! The mechanics of the mind are very busy. We are usually processing a million pieces of data at any given moment in time. Our brains are shifting from visual, touch, and audio data to unconscious cause and affect data to bodily data to cognitive functions to internal conversations.Our inputting systems are usually spinning quite rapidly at most times in the day. So why would we want to add more fullness to the already full mind? Why more mindfulness?Join Sherita and Allison as they explain how simple and digestible “mindfulness “ truly is. Why this buzz word is truly a game changer and how you can find calming results from its practice instantly. The art of mindfulness is how we truly can experience peace and calmness. And it takes no training to begin today!

Like a Dr. Seuss story….Who, What, When, How and Why….we can ask. These little questions usually deliver big answers that can not only surprise us but also unveil an authentic truth to guide us.Whether we are conflicted in our choices, experiencing a transition or making a big decision these stimulating questions can help us dig into ourselves and discover an archeological treasure.Join The Yatra Sisters as they play with these questions and how they lead us towards the best path for us to take.

Dating can be hard. You are looking for a good match with synergy and compatibility. And if we think looking for one person to have a positive connection with is hard, try making four people all fall in love with each other!Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about “couple” dating. No, not swingers or polygamists! Couples making the right friendships with other couples. Learn what to look for, what to ask, and how you “date” to find the right fit.You may have found your partner….but finding two more to socialize with can be tricky and challenging!

I want to go back to normal! My goodness, life can get crazy. We can travel miles away from our own normal by doing too much, engaging in too many activities, way over thinking or interacting with people or events that truly are not our peeps or places that match our energy.What is normal, anyways?? Is it ordinary? Is normal boring? Or is normal comfortable and serene. The cool thing about normal…it is your own design and definition. It is not wild and extraordinary that requires effort and force. Normal is a natural neutral force. It simply just feels easy, balanced and gentle on one's soul.Normal creates a sensation that you feel good internally and at the same time comfortable in the external world. Join the Yatra Sisters as they talk about their normal and why we all needs to love and embrace our “own normal” selves.

Do we own anything or does anything really belong to us? Our minds are full of illusions. And these illusions of “owning” oftentimes stimulate clinging and grasping. When we feel we own something, we encourage unconscious thinking that leads to control or panic!Join Sherita and Allison as they dive into the concept of Papancha. The chatter of the mind and its need to own everything! People, feelings, thoughts and experiences are all open to freedom-once we shift how we see them.

Our Self is a collective portfolio of actions, thoughts, behaviors, choices and ideas. Every day we are splitting our time into many facets. Time on thoughts, time for actions, time for pleasures and efforts towards future pleasures to be rewarded.We must ask ourselves, “What should Self invest in ?”. When we decide what we should and want to invest in, we can become more purposeful in creating a Whole Self.Join The Yatra Sisters as they discuss how to reflect on decisions and choices and use them to develop a healthy and sustainable investment towards a peaceful and joyous lifestyle!

Whether we had to raise ourselves or we raised someone else, we all need to reflect on the messages we received (or gave) during our upbringing, how our experiences became stored in our memory photo album and how those pieces of information have developed our belief systems.Join Sherita and Allison as they discuss Carl Jung's Chakra theory and how we can apply its principles to our own “upbringing/raising”. There are three questions we must learn how to answer healthy by the age of 21…. How do you define security, How do you relate to pleasures, What do you want to invest in? With a bit of reflection and knowledge we can develop answers to these questions with intelligence and confidence. Raising a whole child is easier than fixing a broken one!

What is wicked? Do we create wicked? Does a society need something wicked in order to bond? Maybe or maybe not. As far as time goes back for man, we have always had something, someone or some cause to fight.The chosen collect and deems a wicked enemy to defeat. And in this singular goal we believe we have found a way to agree. The wicked gave us a union, a justification for our actions. And even in our micro lives, it's easier to leave or lie to a deemed wicked soul. It allows us to move on and release the negative vibes that the “wickedness”expressed.But does it have to be wicked??? Or could it just be a voice or soul connection not meant for us. Join Sherita and Alli as the discuss the Green Wicked ways we live! And why something not for us doesn't have to be wicked.

Saying goodbye is hard. It can hurt deep in your soul, but it's truly part of our life journey. Goodbyes are necessary for growth. Yet sometimes goodbyes are unavoidable and that the growth it brings feels like it has absolutely no purpose or value whatsoever.Goodbyes stimulate grief. And oh my, grief is hard. However, it must be respected and whether we like it or not it demands attention. So just know, goodbyes feel heavy……but not forever. A book may end, but you can and will remember the story! Your identities in goodbyes may change, but you never lose their purpose.Join Sherita and Alli as they talk about their current and past goodbyes, how they give their grief time limits and how they let the endings merge into new beginnings.

Now what???? Oh shit!!!! What the Hell??? What am I gonna do now? We have all been there. The moment you know change is upon you, yet you have no idea what to do next. Chapters change, entire books in life close. And once a set is done, there is always a pause (a bit of panic) where we stop and wonder…Now What?Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about their drastic changes and their little gradual changes that have caused them to completely stop and ask Now what?

You can have everything, but not all at once. In today's society we are constantly reminded that we can be anyone, do anything, have anything. And oftentimes this “dream big” agenda can feel overwhelming with dangerously anxious ridden expectations. What is your dream is simple?What is you prefer the supporting role instead of the spotlight? What if “just living” is all you want to accomplish (quite frankly, that is very Zen)? What if you are content with simple wants, simple purposes, simple desires? Will society really allow you to feel extraordinary in your ordinary existence? Is being Kenough, really enough?Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about Barbie 2.0 and how we can embrace our unique dreams in today's culture. But most importantly how we can allow our dreams to shift and change focus in our ever evolving lives…allowing a lifetime of moments, accomplishments and experiences to unfold one at a time!

I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world.... scratch the record. We all are Barbies living in the Real World! Since 1959, Barbie has been taking the world by storm and teaching women how to be their own woman or Babie, so to speak. This conversation centers around Barbie, the movie (Allison saw it and Sherita did not) as they disucss the themes that Allison took away from the movie as well as how Allison and Sherita viewed Barbie as little girls and how they see the powerful message and influences of Barbie today. And let's not forget about Ken as so many has done over the years. Ken plays an important role in the Barbie story, and who knew this was the case until Allison and Sherita's conversation dig a little deeper to find the meaning of Ken. Soooo in your life today, are you vibing to Barbie or Ken?Grab a friend and join in as you don't want to miss the conversation on how Barbie and Ken has shaped our lives over the years.

You already know. Yes, you do. Installed inside of our beings is an intrinsic field of wisdom. This space knows when it is time. Time for change, time for movement, time for rest. It is the same wisdom laced in the changing colors in the leaves of the trees, the same one that pushes the seed through the soil.So have no worries, you do know what to do next….even if you can't see the details!When we stop using just the outer world as our source of information, we find a space of all knowing nestled inside. Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about shutting down opinions, the “I should be” doing, and all the society fears. And instead trust your gut!

Music, drinks, laughter and beach. Oh yes…Bikini Season is here. Are you ready? And I don't mean ready with perfect abs and fake tans….I mean ready to face the exposed truth a bikini may push you to feel? Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about thin bodies, scars on the body, bodies of disease, bodies of curves, big booties and breasts of abundance. Yes, all this and more shoved in that bikini of fun. We are beautiful, let's learn how to shift the mirror reflection inward! Cause if you can't have fun in or out of a bikini, we are here to help you learn!

How do you like your spice? Are you a warm chai or a red hot chili pepper?The Spice you choose can make or break the entire meal. It is crucial in creating the perfect dining experience. And we don't just need spice in our diets, it is a must in our daily routines.Life without spice is like plain old rice. Good for a few days……boring if it becomes the only entree offered every day for years. Life needs spice! Whether that spice is music, adventure, sex or strolls in the park….we need spice every day.Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about their own spice choices and how it may be time to make a change and “spice” it up!

What would happen if you let it go? Oh goodness…..so much could happen. Maybe nothing would change or maybe everything would change. Many of us know it's time to let go of an emotion, an argument, a possession or a story line that we used to believe. Letting go is a process. You may know you need to let go of a poor habit, yet letting go of the habit means you are letting go of your day to day routine, personality and closest friends. You may know it's time to let go of your pain, your sadness or your anger. But you fear letting this go gives someone else a pass card or you feel it diminishes your point or f view or feelings. Letting go may feel like the act itself of surrendering will ignite the process of your worst fear.Join Sherita and Allison as they ask this big question and hold your hand as you explore all the possibilities that could happen if you let this go!

I want the world to know….but maybe not everybody needs to know everything! The world is a huge population, made up by many mini subcultures. Our world is our cultivated world and that may not be as big as we think it is.Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about “coming out” and how this term can be shared by the entire human race. We are not 100% one thing. The totality of our beings is a combination of many traits. We may feel comfortable with one world knowing our truth, and another world knowing a completely different truth.We are complex individuals with many unique traits,experiences and feelings. How can we be our authentic selves in the world, while embracing all the faces of our whole self? We want the world to know, but we get to choose the what and who before we do!!!

Patience can save you, yet patience can drive you crazy! Why do we struggle with patience? Is it because we hate having no control, is it that we want what we want and we want it now? Or is it because we hate the space patience makes us sit inside of? Patience is not a time where nothing is happening. It's actually the space where everything is happening. New ideas can bloom, past reflections can be witnessed, new tastes can become developed and forceful efforts can be forgotten. Patience lets us build character and awareness.Patience grants a passion for the process instead of just the fleeting high of an end result. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about their own journey with patience and how they are using the space to connect with their our desires, expectations and aspirations.

I owe you? You owe me? It's hard to determine who we owe, what we owe or why we owe. Paying a debt is never fun, especially if you didn't even enjoy the process of creating the debt itself. Money debt can feel terribly heavy and overwhelming. And yet people debt can feel even worse. Paying back a favor, caring for the ungrateful or receiving a gift with strings attached can feel as worse as a Mastercard hitting its max and the bill being paid ain't never gonna happen. How did we get into debt, why do feel like we can't repay or that we don't even want to repay? Why do get angry the word “owe” has even drifted into our relationships? All these feelings and questions are explored on this triggering episode. Should owe and love be shared in a sentence? Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about their fears and agitations surrounding…..”owing anybody anything”!ReplyForward

On the playground we have the swings, the slides and the famous see-saw. That long basic board that simply goes up while the other side goes down. We all loved the small thrill it gave us, but we were terrified if we had to play with a mate that unfairly pushed too hard or forced themselves too strongly causing an unsafe imbalance.That basic old fashioned see-saw on the playground actually taught us a lot about proper interactions and how important grace and equality is crucial in fair play. Join Sherita and Allison as they discuss the art of see-sawing in conversations, and the importance of its rules …..especially now while we are engaging in these new modern day conversations. Listen to their ideas on how we can learn to share opinions and preferences without harming others, find peace in neutral points of views and how we can use the words of emotions more accurately.When we chose the appropriate language to describe our thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints we can create more honest and thoughtful environments for all to feel respected. Let's try to avoid the extremes- throwing some too high or slamming others too low. Let's learn to enjoy the see saw!

Sexy today, sexy tomorrow, sexy forever! Is this your truth? What we may have thought was sexy yesterday has arrived to become a different definition of sexy for us today.Let's allow our beauty to change in beautiful ways. Our tiny bikinis in our twenties may wardrobe change into bad ass one pieces. The high heels fall down to flip flops. Hard abs may give way to sexy bellies filled with beer and laughter. Our tastes, our preferences and our wants change over time. We are always shifting and evolving. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about how their idea of what is sexy has changed over the years and how they keep themselves feeling sexy throughout their Journey!

Whether it's the cycle or the pause, us women need to bond together and bring back our rights. The right to feel lousy, tired, emotional and needing a day off.Men can not understand our shifting hormones. So why is the word men even inserted into our MENstrual or MENopause labels?Women, it is up to us to restore our rights and normalize our hormonal selves. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk the truth about how our cycles really flow!

Are you a bad mamma or daddy? Were you raised by a bad mamma or daddy? It's time we talk about this parenting crisis and encourage all of us to do a bit better. To raise a child is to raise a human being that everyone must encounter in society.Just cause you had sex, doesn't mean you know how to be a parent. You probably need some education and guidance. Parenting is a skill, and to be honest some of us need to start with the basics. If you had a bad mama and daddy, it is time to create some boundaries and if you are acting like a bad mama or daddy…wake up…kids aren't required to always respect you!

Have you ever looked around trying to find someone or something to blame? Or worse, looked around and found nothing or no one to blame? That is playing the Blame Game. And this game really does have specific rules to play it fairly. Yes, oftentimes there is someone and something to blame. And we should acknowledge this.Poor actions and unfortunate circumstances should be acknowledged and validated. But once that step is achieved, the next step should follow. The here and now arrives and new choices should emerge.Join Allison and Sherita as they talk about blame, ownership and change.

We know it. Our logical brains has accepted this truth. We know not everyone is gonna like you. Even though we know this truth, it still feels awful when we experience it. Why? Why doesn't someone like us? You may never know. And truthfully the reason is irrelevant. We can't please everyone, we can't like everyone, and we can't change every time someone says we need to change……especially if we have to change in order to be liked.You don't like everyone. And that is o.k. You don't like everything. And that is o.k. We can remove the need to always be good for everyone and everything! We can move our focus towards those who authentically like us, so we can grow our authentic selves. Instead of focusing on those who don't, because if we stay focused on their needs we may accidentally create a fragmented self.Be brave! Lose the desire to be liked by all and trust your unique qualities may be an acquired taste for a few! And those few in life will truly be enough.

From one destination to the next we go. And our go is usually in a rush. But why the rush? Why do we want to get to the next place so quickly? Is the journey in between our phases in life that uncomfortable?Usually, yes! Many times when we are transitioning from one stage in life into another stage we feel uncomfortable, confused, uncertain. We know we shouldn't go backwards, yet forward can sometimes feel like an uncharted frontier with no clear direction. That's why we should slow down the speed and take time to gather our thoughts, our senses and our strength.Join Allison and Sherita as they talk about their own transitions in life, from changing careers to changing partners. How the process is uncomfortable for them both, but how beautiful the foggy space has allowed themselves to embrace their new wants and needs. The space of transition can feel rather vulnerable, like being naked, exposed with no identity. However, it is also freeing and rewarding.

In the spirit of self help we can start to look so deep in the mirror we lose sight of the self. Yes, improving our self every day is important but not when we become a bit obsessed! Self improvement junkies oftentimes hyper focus on changing themselves, gathering too much information and forgetting how to just live.Accepting past choices, flaws in our personalities and embracing the let downs are all part of the journey. There really isn't a perfect formula to living and we can't just manifest our future. Action and steps towards goals requires more than just thoughts.Join the Yatra Sisters as they talk about the greatness of manifesting when used properly alongside action. And how we can soften the pace of self help by just focusing on a bite sized goal.

Am I a Ho?You may be surprised that in fact you are. Yes, it's kinda obvious if we are a Ho in the sexual relations. And that is not to be judged! It may be exactly what you desire to be and it feels more right than wrong. But there are other relationship avenues we can be a Ho. Like being a Ho friend!What is that!?? A Ho friend jumps in quickly, loves quickly, grants promises and offers it all almost instantly. And this...can have dangerous emotional consequences. Let's all talk about our Ho tendencies, like why we may trust too quickly, give too much without receiving, and see if this conversation improves or impacts all our relationships. Being a Ho ain't bad….unless you know you really want a bit more!

We all have said it…I don't give a f*ck!And maybe we meant it, or maybe we said it to protect our energy supply from stupid things or people trying to steal our focus or peace. The art of not giving a f*ck is not about losing passion for the important things and people in your life, nor is it about becoming numb to all feelings of agitation. Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of not giving a F*ck, has systematically written a plan to execute where and when you should give a F*ck and where when you shouldn't!Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about Manson's life altering message laced in his self help book and how his teachings actually make life easier to stay focused on your real goals, as well as show us how not to react to every issue, feeling or difficult situation. You will learn that some dreams need to be stopped from chasing and some opinions need to cease from being deemed important. In this podcast you will find out what you really do give a F*ck about and how you know when truly not give a F*ck!
