"I was invited by Arti to participate in the podcast to highlight Desi Women. Nari Shakti! It was fun to discuss with Bhavana Shelley and Bhawna Luthra and Arti during the hour long talk where we explored Ayurveda's take on many issues. Hope it was helpful to the audience. The podcast was very well planned and done in a professional manner. This is a very good initiative for common welfare of the society and women in particular. Woman being the center of the family holds many things in place along with her personal carrier and goals. Strength of women can never be underestimated and these three women show that in real life. It was honored to be part of the podcast and wishing these women the very best."
