In even the most accepting of households, children pick up on their parents' beliefs about sex. If that includes restricting sex or teaching that it is inherently bad, that can lead to sexual shame that persists throughout our lives and shows up not just in our sex lives, but also in our entire emotional wellbeing. This week, we're joined by spiritual and sexual psychologist Kaamna Bhojwani to talk about healing sexual shame through spirituality. Kaamna starts by telling us what sexual shame is, where it comes from and how it shows up in our lives. For women, and older women particularly, sexual shame can separate them from embracing pleasure in their lives as a whole, as well as causing body image issues.Kaamna explains how spirituality can be used to move away from sexual shame, from using meditation to get back in touch with our bodies to examining and unlearning the sexual scripts we were taught during childhood. Overcoming sexual shame is all about looking at what beliefs about sex serve us and re-writing those that harm us so that we can prevent it from passing down through the generations. If you want ti find Kaamna goto her website: https://www.kaamnalive.com/ or find her on Instagram @kaamnalive.We hope you enjoy this episode and it inspires you to look at how sexual shame shows up in your life.

On this episode of Authentically Successful, host Carol Schultz interviews Sudhir Bhojwani, co-founder and CEO of a procurement technology company named ORO Labs. Sudhir opens up about his journey as a software engineer and his first startup which opened the door to three more. He reflects on projects that failed and also shares successes, such as his company Vayulogic. The conversation shifts to the difference between working at a large “finance” focused company to being at a smaller “mission” focused company. They also discuss what Sudhir says is an emerging category of "reverse platform" or "procurement orchestration layer" in the space, which aims to improve user experience and provide companies with agility and control. He explains that there are several competitors in this space, each with slightly different approaches. Diversity is another crucial aspect discussed in this episode. Sudhir stresses the significance of investing in diversity and actively seeking out diverse ideas. He states that diversity extends beyond gender, incorporating religion and other aspects. The company is actively seeking to add executive members and individuals with diverse ideas to its team, with a goal of showcasing increased diversity within the company within six months.BIOSudhir Bhojwani is a procurement tech expert with extensive experience in the industry. For many years, he worked at SAP, which acquired his former employerAriba, gaining valuable insights into the challenges people face in procurement. Sudhir recognized that despite the advantages of procurement technology, many still struggle with knowing what to do and when to do it. This inspired him to find a solution. Sudhir believes that procurement should not be complicated, especially since we all make purchases in our daily lives. However, the moment we enter the workplace, it becomes a complex process. This realization motivated Sudhir to embark on a mission to solve this problem. His vision is to empower both individual users and companies to make better decisions in procurement. Sudhir firmly believes that these two objectives can be achieved simultaneously. He aims to challenge the status quo and offer a unique approach that sets his solution apart from others in the market. Learn more about Sudhir Bhojwani and ORO Labs. You can find more information on all our episodes at Vertical Elevation, and you can find Carol on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube.

Which spend categories should procurement control would always be debatable. Most companies may have a budget threshold where they might dictate the involvement of procurement. But this approach might not be suitable for every category. Some categories may be so strategic, even if the budget threshold may not be as high, that the business might want to take over because of the cross-functional implications or risks. These categories might also have very unique workflows and processes that require unique designs compared to the other categories.In today's episode, our guest, Sudhir Bhojwani and Yuan Tung discusses the best practices for managing unmanaged spend. They also discuss the disconnect between procurement and business and the scope of procurement. Finally, they describe where ORO labs fit in the enterprise architecture and how it compares with other workflow automation tools, P2P, CLM, etc.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

“The idea is that we take and take and take from the planet. And we've been taking and there's all this talk about how can we get to neutral? And our company wanted to do something a little bit differently. We wanted to give back more than we were taking.” – Tina Bhojwani     Tina Bhojwani is the co-founder and CEO of AERA, a luxury vegan footwear brand. In a past life, she held key leadership roles at global brands including Donna Karan, Theory and was President of Dolce & Gabbana North America. Having spent over two decades in the fashion world, Tina has had front row seats to the impact of fashion on the planet as well as on people and animals.   AERA is her answer to how the fashion world (and those of us who frequent it) can do better. All of AERA's components are made from non-animal ingredients, they use as many eco-friendly materials as possible, ensuring that the end result is of the highest quality, and are committed to evolving their materials, with the ultimate goal to one day be able to create a shoe with zero environmental impact.   “Our shoes are certified Vegan. We went to great lengths to ensure that all components are made from non-animal ingredients, yet still maintain the quality and style expected from a luxury shoe.”   They're also stunning, insanely comfortable and, as Tina likes to point out, they don't look vegan.   Please listen and share and check out AERA's shoes.   AERA https://aeranewyork.com/   Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/aeranewyork/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aeranewyork

Our toxic relationship with our devices, the negative impact of huge and very quick scaling up of businesses, the need to change the all-pervasive culture of lauding those sorts of practices, the banality of evil with social media exemplifying the proverb, 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions', and how to stop falling prey to FOMO, bad moods and negativity brought on by our smartphones allowing us to be online all the time -- Tanuj Bhojwani, co-author, with Nandan Nilekani, of The Art of Bitfulness talks to Manjula Narayan about all that on this week's Books & Authors podcast

Prince’s parents are Hindus that fled Pakistan, so he grew up in the States and lived through experiences like the backlash after 9/11. Today, he’s lifted from that experience as one of the co-founders of ASANA Voices, a South Asian organization impacting political, economic, and social issues. By 30, he also sold one of his business ventures and currently serves as Chief Investment Officer of The Graywall Company. In this episode Prince shared his method for successfully discussing social issues and some of the initiatives that ASANA Voices is working on. He talks about how he accidentally created his first company, which he named after his dog. And he reflects on a near death experience with burnout, his recovery, and what we can do to avoid it.

"It was unfortunately after George Floyd's brutal murder in June of 2020, me and three of my friends who were all part of the South Asian organization, based in the US, got together and realized that our community was completely quiet to all of the racial injustices that were going on in US. We wanted to make sure that we were part of an active and ongoing discussion that can drive positive change. When we brought this topic to our community, they brushed it off as a political issue, and they didn't want to get involved in it. Because of that, we were not only upset, but we realized that many other South Asian organizations might be going through the same thing. So within 48 hours, we had launched ASANA Voices. The Alliance of South Asians in North America as a platform to educate and engage South Asians in North America on critical issues."

I wanted to know how to access and use that same mind power everyday.  My experience became the driving force of my life purpose.  The stuff I now know to be true I consciously live my values. Being clear about what I do and don't want. Making value based choices to ensure I love the life I wake-up to every day I thrive on learning, growing and expanding my awareness so I can embrace all that life has to offer.

America’s political leadership remains overwhelmingly white, male, moneyed, and Christian; even at the local and state levels, elected office is inaccessible to the people it aims to represent. But this trend is changing, says political scientist Sayu Bhojwani. She made her way to Town Hall’s stage to share accounts of the diverse and persevering range of new politicians from across the country who are challenging the status quo, winning against all odds, and leaving a path for others to follow in their wake. She introduced us to these political newcomers with stories from her book People Like Us: The New Wave of Candidates Knocking at Democracy’s Door. Bhojwani met with Sophia Jordán Wallace, professor of Political Science at the University of Washington. Together they shined a light on the political, systemic, and cultural roadblocks that have prevented government from effectively representing a rapidly changing America—and offered forward-thinking solutions on how to get rid of them. Join Bhojwani and Wallace for an inspiring story of the foreign-born, lower-income, and of-color Americans who are successfully taking on leadership roles to embody an inclusive and multiracial democracy that has been a long time in the making. Sayu Bhojwani is an advocate, speaker, writer, and former Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs in New York City. She is the founder of South Asian Youth Action, and the founder and president of New American Leaders, the only national organization focused on preparing immigrant leaders to run for public office at the local and state levels. Sophia Jordán Wallace is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Washington. She specializes in Latino Politics, representation, social movements, and immigration politics and policy. Her work has been published in theAmerican Journal of Political Science, Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, Political Research Quarterly, and many others. Recorded live at Rainier Arts Center by Town Hall Seattle on Monday, October 29, 2018.

While the congressional midterm elections and some statewide races dominate mainstream media coverage, there's a lot of action at the local, grassroots level. As minority communities grow and the dominance of the white majority wanes, immigrants and first generation Americans are running for office — and winning. Sayu Bhojwani served as Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs in New York City, and eight years ago she founded the nonprofit New American Leaders. Her new book is People Like Us: The New Wave of Candidates Knocking on Democracy's Door. She profiles a new generation of candidates of color across the country, and their paths to election. Bhojwani explains that the ACLU has sued local governments to enforce a portion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to establish district elections. Compared to running “at large” in an entire jurisdiction, district elections lower the barrier to entry for new candidates, allowing community-based campaigns with smaller budgets and more personal contact with voters. Bhojwani also notes that, in states like Arizona, public campaign financing has empowered people with limited resources to challenge powerful incumbents, and win. We also touch on Michigan's ballot initiative 18-2, which would establish a citizens' redistricting commission to draw the district lines following the 2020 Census. And Bhojwani closes with some advice for listeners who are considering running for local office.

Ali talks to three amazing women who are working both in public and behind the scenes to re-imagine the future for immigrants in the United States. Left to Right:- Gaby Pacheco, DACA recipient, and leader of TheDream.US Karen Tumlin, Legal Director of the National Immigration Law Center Sayu Bhojwani, President of the New American Leaders Project  

Sayu Bhojwani, Founder and President of New American Leaders, tells Ali that American democracy will be stronger when our elected officials mirror the nation's diversity. And, with the March 5 deadline for DACA looming, who among the Republicans in Congress is going to "give a little" as President Trump says?   

In politics, representation matters -- and that's why we should elect leaders who reflect their country's diversity and embrace its multicultural tapestry, says Sayu Bhojwani. Through her own story of becoming an American citizen, the immigration scholar reveals how her love and dedication to her country turned into a driving force for political change. "We have fought to be here," she says, calling immigrant voices to action. "It's our country, too."

In der Politik zählt es, vertreten zu sein – und deshalb sollten wir Leute wählen, die die Vielseitigkeit ihres Landes am besten reflektieren und sie auch so annehmen, meint Sayu Bhojwani. Mittels ihrer eigenen Geschichte, wie sie zur amerikanischen Bürgerin wurde, zeigt die Immigrationswissenschaftlerin, wie ihre Liebe und ihr Engagement für ihr Land zu einer treibenden Kraft für politische Veränderung wurde. "Wir haben gekämpft, um hier zu sein," sagt sie und ruft Immigranten zur Handlung auf. "Es ist auch unser Land."

En política, la representación es importante y por eso debemos elegir líderes que reflejen la diversidad de cada país y abracen su crisol multicultural, dice Sayu Bhojwani. A través de su propia historia de convertirse en ciudadana estadounidense, la investigadora en inmigración revela cómo su amor y dedicación a su país se convirtió en una fuerza motriz para el cambio político. "Hemos luchado para estar aquí", dice, llamando a las voces de los inmigrantes a la acción. Es nuestro país también.

Em política, representação é importante - e é por isso que devemos eleger líderes que reflitam a diversidade do país e abracem seu tecido multicultural, afirma Sayu Bhojwani. Através de sua própria trajetória de se tornar uma cidadã norte-americana, a especialista em imigração revela como seu amor e sua dedicação ao seu país se tornaram uma força motriz para a mudança política. "Lutamos muito para estar aqui", diz ela, evocando as vozes imigrantes à ação: "Este país é nosso também".

« En politique, la représentation importe - et c'est la raison pour laquelle nous devrions élire des dirigeants qui reflètent la diversité de leur pays et épousent sa tapisserie de multiculturalisme, dit Sayu Bhojwani. » A travers sa propre histoire d'obtention de la nationalité américaine, cette savante de l'immigration révèle comment son amour et son dévouement envers son pays se sont transformés en une force motrice du changement politique. « Nous nous sommes battus pour être ici, dit-elle en appelant les voix des immigrants à agir. C'est notre pays aussi. »

في السياسية التمثيل مهم ولهذا السبب يجب علينا أن ننتخب قادة ، تعكس تنوع البلد وتحتضن نسيج التعدد الثقافي. تقول سايو بهوجواني عبر قصتها لتصبح مواطنة أمريكية ، يكشف البحث عن الهجرة كيف أن حبها وتفانيها لبلدها، تحول لقوة دافعة للتغير السياسي.تقول "قاتلنا لنكون هنا" وتدعو ليكون للمهاجرين صوت فعال."هذا بلدنا أيضاً".
