In this grounding episode, Kara is joined by Ayurvedic content creator and wellness educator Kirti Tewani for a nourishing conversation on presence, simplicity, and sacred self-care. With a background as a makeup artist and founder, Kirti shares her journey from fashion and freelance artistry to becoming a viral wellness creator through authentic, minimalist rituals rooted in Ayurveda.
Together, they explore the power of tuning into your body’s wisdom, building a personal brand from a place of truth, and reconnecting with daily practices like tongue scraping, oil pulling, and breathwork to support spiritual and emotional well-being. The episode also touches on the pressure of beauty standards, holistic alternatives to Botox, and why aging can be embraced—not feared.
This conversation is a reminder that true wellness doesn’t have to be complicated—just deeply intentional.
