Serena Arora is an Ayurvedic health practitioner and yoga therapist with over a decade of clinical experience, helping women reconnect with their bodies through daily, preventative self-care practices rooted in classical Ayurveda. Her work blends ancestral wisdom with modern nervous system awareness to support digestion, hormonal balance, and sustainable, embodied wellbeing.

Born in Canada to a Chinese mother and Indian father, Serena’s approach is deeply informed by her multicultural background and lifelong immersion in Eastern healing traditions, including the influence of her yogi uncle who taught her that "we don’t study yoga, we are yoga."

She is also the #1 international bestselling author of Unbound, a memoir exploring her journey of reclaiming self-worth as a mixed-race immigrant daughter and redefining what it means to live in alignment with one’s truth.

Episode 218: What We Should Be Teaching Our Kids

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:45:00 -0400

As adults, we’re still dealing with grown people who act like kids — drama, gossip, jealousy, comparison, and dishonesty. It makes you pause and ask… what are we teaching our own children?
In this episode, I share reflections as a parent (not a parenting expert) who has watched the world completely change since the 80s and the rise of the internet. The pressure on our kids is different now — louder, faster, and constant.

But the most important lessons are still simple.

In This Episode:

Teaching kids to stay out of drama and gossip
Learning to say no and protect their time and energy
Giving themselves grace when they mess up
Choosing good energy and healthy boundaries
Remembering social media isn’t real life
Why quality friendships matter more than quantity
Paying attention to what fills them up vs. drains them
How they start their day shapes everything
Hope is a choice — and you can always choose again

We can’t control the world they’re growing up in. But we can help shape how they move through it.
Simple daily choices matter — movement, nourishing food, time in prayer, quiet time, getting outside.
Sometimes our kids just need permission to know there is another way — and they will be okay.

Episode 217: Resilience: Learning to Rest, Reset, and Rise

Kelley Ranaudo — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Life will knock us down — physically, emotionally, professionally. The question isn’t if we’ll face stress or setbacks… it’s how we recover.

In this episode, we talk about what resilience really is. Not just pushing through. Not pretending we’re fine. But learning how to support our body, mind, and spirit so we can truly bounce back.
Sometimes getting back up isn’t about doing more.

It’s about choosing better — better recovery, better nourishment, better perspective.
More of what heals. Less of what harms.

Simple shifts. Stronger foundation. Healthier life.
