This Is Hijacking Your Nervous System (And You Don't Even Know It)

Have you ever wondered why you feel anxious, depleted, or foggy… even when everything seems fine? In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into the real reasons our nervous systems are constantly under attack — from the foods we eat, to the people around us, to the seemingly “clean” products we trust.

As a mama, entrepreneur, and founder of Chai Tonics, I’ve lived this journey firsthand. From burnout and mom brain to building a wellness brand rooted in Ayurveda, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of creating products that actually nourish instead of hijacking your system.

You’ll also get my top 3 tools to protect your energy, reclaim your rituals, and reset your calm (yes, even in the middle of toddler meltdowns or business chaos). This one’s for every high-achieving soul who’s ready to slow down and tune in.

Mama, your nervous system deserves a pause. The Chai Tonics Ritual Starter Kit was made to help you reset with blends that support focus, calm, and energy—without the coffee crash. Create your sacred moment at https://bit.ly/chaitonics with code BRAVE for 15% off.
