Can you believe THE Gretchen Rubin is on the show?? She's a 7x NYT bestselling author, and one of my professional heroes. Her work dives into human nature and happiness, which boils down to understanding ourselves better in order to discover areas for personal agency. From there, we can create lives we love.

This episode is all about a little Spanish village, very close to Seville, that most people haven't heard of. We tell you the story about how we heard about it – and the famous TV personality who recommended we go and who we actually met there. We also tell you about the history and why Julius Caeser was engrossed with Carmona. We enjoyed time around the local plaza, including following an ancient procession with ox-drawn carriages. We did a history tour, and we share with you about the massive homes that you can see in Carmona and why they are so big and close to the cathedral. Listen to the end to hear how we finally found out why there were no people around when we were having dinner and how we eventually found the night life.

Welcome to Season 7 of Ojas Oasis!  In part two of this three part series, Dr. Jayarajan Kodikannath (also known as Dr. J) and Sasha continue our exploration of Ayurveda for happy and healthy kids. In today's conversation, we focus on Vihara, which means lifestyle in terms of conscious or unconscious behavior, tendencies or hobbies, and Dinacharya, the Sanskrit word for ideal daily routines, which includes waking and sleeping times, oral and bodily hygiene, bowel illumination, self oil massage (abhyanga), exercise, meditation, prayer, and eating meals at regular times, all of which follow the circadian and seasonal rhythms. A key differential between Vihara and Dinacharya is that Dinacharya focuses on when and how you do the self-care rituals that optimize and regulate your life, while Vihara focuses on how you live overall: conscious or unconscious habits or hobbies you engage with throughout the day that impact your body and mind. Vihara and Dinacharya are both pillars of health in Ayurveda. Balancing both in a child's life supports healthy nervous system development, creative expression, emotional regulation, and physical resilience. In a world of overstimulation and technology continuing to advance at the speed of light, it has never been more important to balance the external environment with an internal environment that feels safe, nurturing, slow, and in sync with nature. These Ayurvedic principles offer a grounded, simple approach toward joyful, thriving childhood.We also touch on the importance of these principles being applied in parents' lives as parents are the most influential, energetic imprint in a child's life. We highly recommend Dr. J's book The Parent's Complete Guide to Ayurveda: Principles, Practices, and Recipes for Happy, Healthy Kids, published by Shambhala in 2022, which you can find in stores and online. More about Dr. J here: https://www.keralaayurveda.us/wellnesscenter/our-team/jayarajan-kodikannath/Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda herbs and products, visit https://keralaayurveda.store/?ref=SASHABERSHADSKYFor 20% off Garry N Sun herbs and products, visit: https://garrysun.com/?ref=e9r0u5k1 Book a 1:1 with Sasha at https://www.ojasoasis.com/book For 50% off your initial intake consultation, mention you're a subscriber of the podcast.

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I open up about what the spreadsheets don't show — the emotions, decisions, and real-life weight behind every estimate, every bid, and every budgeting choice. From personal finances to business scaling, it's all on the table. If you've ever wondered what it takes to run a business, support a family, and still sleep at night, this one's for you.

⁠

In today's episode, we're asking the hard question: How confident are you in your pricing? If you hesitate even a little, this episode is for you. We're digging into the real numbers behind bidding, estimating, and knowing your worth — because guessing isn't a strategy, and “what the other guys charge” isn't a business model. Whether you're pricing a lawn, a mulch job, or a six-figure commercial snow contract, you need to be 100% dialed in. We'll break down how to calculate your costs, factor in overhead, and build in healthy profit margins — so you're not just staying busy, but actually making money. Let's get you pricing with confidence, clarity, and conviction. Tune in and take your quoting game to the next level!

Today's episode is a little different from our typical conversation, leaning heavily into intentional living. After all, when we drown out the noise and clutter, we have time to focus on what truly matters - and what could be more important than the healthy and safety of our children and grandchildren? We welcome Kristen A. Jenson, author of the book Good Pictures, Bad Pictures - a children's book designed to promote conversation with our kids about X-rated content they may be exposed to on the internet. She helps us learn why being proactive with these conversations is important, what age to begin these talks, how to help our kids make a plan, and what to do if our kids have already been exposed to things they shouldn't have seen. I hope this episode is not only informative, but empowering. I feel *less* scared for my children - not more anxious - after gaining the tools I need to tackle this common struggle head on, and I hope you leave this episode feeling more confident, too.

In this episode, we're flipping the script on what most people believe about sales. Too often, we hear "no" and think it's the end of the road — but in reality, it's just the start of the real conversation. Whether you're selling lawn care services, pitching a sponsorship, or trying to grow your business, learning how to handle rejection is key to closing deals. We'll talk about how to turn objections into opportunities, build resilience, and reframe every "no" as a stepping stone toward success. Let's redefine the sales game, one no at a time.
