As we step into a new year, many of us focus on resolutions, but what if a more powerful question is: How do I actually want to feel?
In this episode, Colette explores Ayurvedic cleansing not as a quick detox or rigid reset, but as a gentle ritual, a way to digest the past, build resilience, and step into the year ahead with clarity, steadiness, and intention.
Rather than pushing or restricting, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with digestion as the foundation of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
If you're craving a nourishing fresh start that supports your nervous system and long-term health, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
Why the threshold between one year and the next is considered a potent time for healing
The lost art of ritual and why modern life often skips over important transitions
How unprocessed experiences and emotions can create subtle ama (toxicity) in the body and mind
Digestion as more than food, including how we digest experiences, emotions, and stress
Why Ayurveda prioritizes preventative health and resilience, especially in an unpredictable world
How gentle cleansing supports adaptability, immunity, and nervous system regulation
Cleansing as an act of self-respect, not willpower or deprivation
The role of community (sangha) and why group cleansing can be deeply supportive
