Welcome back to the Womben Wellness Podcast with me, Usha Anandi. 🌹

This episode was a hard pill to swallow for me. I'm not comfortable talking about my sexuality online - but I wanted to shed light on a completely different take on sex than what I usually hear in today's world.

This is a tell-all about the year and a half I chose celibacy - and no, not as punishment. 

I share how growing up in a strict Irish Catholic home shaped my sexuality, what happened during a powerful womb-lifting training in Thailand (hello, energetic cords and old lovers resurfacing ✂️), and why stepping away from partnered sex helped me reclaim sovereignty, desire, and my own pleasure.

If your womb feels full or stagnant, if you're tired of carrying expectations - partner, family, culture - and you're ready to feel yourself again, this one might be for you.

You'll hear about…

• The moment everything flipped: visions, messages from past partners, and realizing our tissues can hold energetic imprints.

• From repression to performance to truth: how shame, birth control messaging, and "cool girl" culture influenced my early choices (with nuance and respect for access + autonomy)

• Why celibacy can be a cleanse: treating it like a fast that sharpens senses, clarifies boundaries, and restores vitality.
  Breaking the validation loop: noticing where we outsource approval and redirecting that energy back into aliveness.
  
  

Try this inquiry:

Where am I outsourcing my pleasure or self-worth? What would it feel like to give myself what I'm asking others to provide?

In this episode, we're stirring the pot with something deeply personal (and pretty controversial 👀): why, after nearly a decade as a vegetarian and vegan, I started eating meat again.

This is a story about listening to your body, breaking free from dogma, and reclaiming the right to nourish yourself in the way only YOU know how. I'll share the dreams that haunted me (spoiler: I kept showing up as a predator animal 🐆), the 30+ lbs I gained, the loss of my menstrual cycle, and the wisdom from Ayurveda, TCM, and blood type diets that finally made it all click.

If you've ever felt trapped in dietary rules, struggled with fatigue, bloating, or missing periods, or just want permission to follow your body before following the crowd, this episode is for you.

You'll learn…

• Why my health completely crashed while vegan, and how reintroducing meat brought me back to vitality
  
  

• What Ayurveda, TCM, and the blood type diet actually say about meat (hint: it's not one-size-fits-all)
  
  

• The role of intuition in guiding our body's needs
  
  

• 3 Ayurvedic tips to strengthen digestion, whether you eat meat or not

WELCOME to the very first episode of the Womben Wellness Podcast with me, Usha Anandi. 🌹

Pretending to be something I'm not exhausted me for so long.

That's why this episode is an invocation for the woman who's done trying to be good and is finally ready to be set loose as her free, feral self.

I'm pulling back the curtain on what inspired this podcast, the spiritual initiation that shaped me into the teacher I am today, and why I'm no longer interested in fitting into anyone's definition of "good."

From growing up in an Irish Catholic home steeped in shame, to faking orgasms, suppressing my bleed, and outsourcing my power, I share how I spent years silencing my wildness to be accepted.

You'll hear about…

🔥 What motherhood taught me about sitting in the fire instead of fleeing from it

🌑 Why darkness isn't bad  (it's the fertile ground of creation and power)

💫 The legacy we can leave when we finally stop running and come into ourselves

If you've ever felt like you're too much, too weird, too emotional, or too wild, this one's for you.
