The Yatra Sisters

We all have said it… I don’t give a f*ck! And maybe we meant it, or maybe we said it to protect our energy supply from stupid things or people trying to steal our focus or peace. The art of not giving a f*ck is not about losing passion for the important things and people in your life, nor is it about becoming numb to all feelings of agitation. Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of not giving a...

Forgive or not to forgive, that is the question. Forgiveness is a release once achieved, however the road to authentic forgiveness may take time and effort. When we forgive too soon we may be trying to avoid an exploration of our own feelings or we may be existing with blurry boundaries. Yet when we hold onto resentment or anger we may also be avoiding an internal conversation with old traumas or...

Have you ever found yourself in a moment of panic? You hyperventilate, feel weighted down by depression, want to fight your way out, feel anxious or become so frightened or worried that you become motionless? If you have, you’ve just experienced the state of Fight, Flight or Freeze! We’ve often been told that we should fight our way out of a moment that grips us, especially when the moment leaves...

To be “performance motivated” is part of growing up and developing into an independent self sufficient human being. We need to be motivated to learn how to perform tasks in order to progress and care for one’s self. And of course, learning a task extremely well is exciting and rewarding. We can get attached to the “high” of achieving, especially if it has a measured grade we can use to show oursel...

Should every emotion, every thought, every feeling be examined, explored or warrant a response? Probably not. Everyday we experience an array of feelings from fear to excitement. Our minds dance between memories and the unknowns of the future. We are constantly replaying old conversations, tangling with regrets and preparing for upcoming decisions (oftentimes with missing variables). We all know h...

If you haven't heard of Social Media by now, then you must be living under a rock and also not a human. Connecting and communicating vial social media has taken the place of phone calls and writing letters or notes (what are those things). While social media can be positively be used to connect to those who live far away or used to keep in touch with what's happening in the lives of those we love...

Don’t we all need a recipe for life? Well, The Yatra Sisters have some ingredients to share that may add some passion to your lifestyle. Life is a mixture of choices, responsibilities, challenges and excitement. If you measure them correctly a good life is possible. A life that is all play and no work is a life out of balance and a life without passionate expressions creates a recipe of mundane li...

Some conserations should end before they lead to nonsense. Some actions should be taken away before we negotiate with ourselves. Sometimes we need to react “quick and dirty”. Acting dirty doesn’t have to be wrong, but acting dirty for a long time is simply ineffective! If you are gonna do it, if you have to do it, then learn how to get in and get out. Join The Yatra Sisters while they chat about t...

Help me! Please help me. Why is this so difficult for many of us to say? Is it because we feel the answer will be no and that devastating truth feels worse than the struggle of doing it alone? Or is it that we are afraid we will be judged as weak, stupid or incompetent if we admit we need help? I think we all can at least agree that asking for help is rather difficult, because it is exposing and p...

Finally, The Yatra Sisters are back with Season Two. After our time away, we talk about how we are committed to traveling into 2023 with fresh new attitudes and bravery to make dramatic changes that encourages joy and freedom. We talk about taking our clothes off, living in ashrams, drumming with our ancestors, crying in bed for entire days and our newly developed love for Travelers Rest, South Ca...

It’s a WRAP The end of the year holidays is a time for reflection, gratitude and celebration. And the Yatra Sisters Podcast is jumping on the holiday bandwagon. While we are ecstatic to say that our first season is a WRAP, we're even more excited to take a moment to reflect on the things we’ve learned while dreaming up what’s to come in 2023! We want to thank each and every one of you for listenin...

There are times when we know that there are communities and or people that we know we shouldn’t hang out with because they ain’t our people. This isn’t to say it’s because they are a bad person or that you no longer like them, but there are times when you notice that the people you call your people are not in alignment with you. Maybe they were before but over time things may have changed. When yo...

There will be times when tragedy, pain or just the fact that you’re tired will hit you when you least expect it, and you don’t have an answer nor a solution to a problem. You don’t know how to fix it, you don’t care, don’t know what to do and you don’t have the money you need to fix it. So instead of wasting any more time and energy, just say ‘Fu%k It! I’m going to Disney World’ and you GO! Now, i...

Our lives can easily become a jumbled and messy place. When life is coming at you full speed, the one thing we rarely think of is the importance of space. We spend so much time trying to fill our lives with accomplishments, material things, people and experiences, that we often forget to hit pause and settle into the stillness for a while. Hitting pause is like inserting space, and nothing should...

Life is sometimes hard. Instead of resisting tough times and difficult situations, we should just Roll With It. The beautiful thing about rolling with it is that you never know where you will end. It's the freedom of surrendering and allowing a new adventure to unfold. The scary thing about rolling with it is that you never know where you will end. We often want to control everything in our lives...

There are times in life when we feel like we are a ‘nobody’ until we work hard enough to achieve our dreams and goals and become a ‘somebody.’ What if we told you that you are already somebody? Not only are born somebody, but you are also a special and amazing somebody! And as awesome as this is, being a nobody is even better! Being a somebody is hard work, but it is necessary in order to create a...

This is a saying that many of us have heard from childhood to adulthood. If you someone has told you, “Alright, keep on playing,” it’s because you’ve either irritated someone, angered someone or you’re pushing a button they no longer want you to push. But playing is something we should all do more often. When we were kids, we made friends by playing. We looked forward to recess because it allowed...

Have you ever felt like you were alone, even if you were surrounded by a room filled with people? Loneliness has many faces. We can feel alone even though we are married to the most wonderful life partner, we can feel alone because we are often by ourselves, and we can even feel alone while at a party filled with music and good times. Loneliness isn't about only how we feel but it's about the lack...

Let’s be honest, we’re all addicted to something. Addictions are fun, they offer a thrill, a feel-good pill, just like heroine (disclaimer, we haven’t tried heroine). The scare is not what we are addicted to, but the high we get from being addicted to it. And the Ego is one of the biggest things we’re addicted to. With the highs comes praise, validation, a sense of importance. We’re always talking...

Don’t worry. Take it easy. No stress. Be anxious for nothing. I’m sure we’ve heard at least one of these phrases before. We live in a fast-paced world where we’re often measured by goals, judged by being on time and just in case we forget these things, our phones will alert us to anything we miss or when someone tries to reach us. It’s no wonder we have anxiety! While the demands of life keep risi...

Oh Sh%T! This is the first thought that often comes to mind when someone says, “We need to talk!” There are times when difficult conversations must be had but we often avoid them because they're uncomfortable, we don’t know what to say, they make us nervous, or we often question if we’ve offended someone or said the wrong thing. Even though they are difficult, it doesn’t mean we should avoid them....

We often push ourselves to get through things that ‘maybe’ we shouldn’t have attempted to do in the first place. We believe we can do it and while we may get through it, imagine if we focused our belief and energy on something that we actually have a shot at doing and doing greatly! The beautiful thing about positively believing is that it doesn’t cost you a thing and it’s so much fun to do so. Wh...

Who we are is an accumulation of our thoughts, memories, and mess? It is no wonder we have a tough time figuring things out. But sometimes all it takes is a deep breath, a little sorting out your thoughts and finding the right place to dump those thoughts into. Just like sorting out your socks and panties. Once you do, it is no longer a messy pile of stuff, but an orderly grouping with everything...
