The Feel Good Factor: Recent Episodes
Susmitha Veganosaurus
The Feel Good Factor is all about consciously finding things that spark joy through every aspect of life.
The podcast features contemplative talks, interviews and meditations, covering a wide range of topics from compassion to self-love, wellness to abundance, and so much more.
Come, join me, as we imbue fun, peace and uplifting, high vibe energy into our everyday moments by making feeling good our highest priority.
In the Unstoppable Force & Immovable Object paradox, the theory is everything comes to a complete standstill. But what does it mean to be a truly unstoppable force in business, and creativity? And also, where in our life do we need to become the immovable object?

"I want to begin, bit first I need to do one more course/some more research." "I can start, but I should get this certificate before that." Does that sound familiar to you? Procrastinating by using learning as an excuse, that's procrasta-learning.
I'm all for regularly updating our knowledge! But we need to watch out if the learning is being used as an excuse to delay taking action on a project, or habit, or business, or art...anything.

Apart from stuffing my face with super delicious food and getting to hang out with some cool people, I also had a reminder about some important things. 1. Life is full of new beginnings. 2. Nothing is as big a deal as we make it out to be. 3. We all have the power to be supportive just by normalising things for people we love.

Before we start a business, commit to a project, or even just buy something, we only think of what it'll feel like to have that thing belong to us. But the more important question to consider is, "How will I feel when I belong to it? How much of myself am I ready to give to this thing?"
This episode starts with a simple story about my shoes that leads us to understand the impact that this shift in perspective makes on our life and business decisions!

“Everything else was good, but because of that one thing, I have to fail you, sorry”, she says (in a sorry-not-sorry tone of voice). I apologise, or thank her, as she gets out of my car. At least, I'd like to believe I did, but I’m totally blanking on that detail.
What I do clearly remember is, as I gape at her walking away, my brain's going, “umm, what the eff just happened?”
For five years I’d driven through Bangalore on my own. I could even navigate the by lanes of Shivajinagar like a pro. But my first driving test in the US? I’d flunked! 🤦🏻♀️ I’d actually freakin' flunked.

It seems like a no brainer, but often we need the reminder to be kind to ourselves. We can't expect kindness from others, or even think we can be kind to people all the time if we're unkind to our own self to begin with!

Whether it's in content creation or in other facets of life, it's super important to cut out all the unnecessary stuff. Even if said stuff is perfectly good on its own. "Kill your Darlings" aka "Murder your Darlings" is a phrase used in the world of writing. It means that authors should ruthlessly edit out anything that interferes with the crisp, smooth pace, and flow of their article, story, blog post, etc. In my usual style, I couldn't resist using this as an analogy for cutting out dead weight – things, practices, habits, relationships – from our lives, businesses, and creative endeavours.

Travel in itself gives fresh perespectives, but solo travel adds a deeper layer of learning and contemplation. My hybrid solo trip last month to Dharamkot, (near Dharamshala) Himachal Pradesh was full of adventures and interesting experiences. It was a mix of exploring on my own, as well as hanging out with a dear friend, Ekta. We got to spend time at various interesting places, talking to many lovely people.
This episode is all about where I stayed, some of what I did, and ten of the many lessons I learnt.

"The path of Gyaan (knowledge) crushes the Ego, the path of Bhakti (devotion) melts the Ego." When my teacher said this, it blew my mind! I suddenly began to understand the way me and people in my world work and deal with things. Not just in the spiritual sense, but in all facets of life – home, work, business, creativity – those of us who surrender ourselves to the process and go with the flow have a vastly different experience than the ones who want a deeper understanding and look at things through the lens of precision and perfection. I've connected this thought process to an art workshop I attended a couple of weeks ago in this episode.

Do you have an idea? Do you want to start something new? A project, a business, a work of art, a book, a course... whatever it is, stop hesitating. Stop over thinking, over analysing and just get started.
There are so many important, meaningful things we're meant to do, but we create these unnecessary hurdles in our minds that make us hesitate. To celebrate the important milestone of reaching the 99th episode on the show (a journey that I took forever to begin, but has turned out to be highly rewarding), I've done a deep dive into a few common mental blocks that lead to starting trouble. And why and how we should overcome them and just get started already!

Being a multi-passionate is in itself can be a challenging way of living because it breaks certain social norms and expectation. Doing this as a woman brings with it a new set of complications. But being a woman, who's grown up surrounded by the contrasts and nuances of Indian culture, wanting to pursue and grow in various areas of interests and passions, carries a very unique blend of fears and struggles!
In this special episode for International Women's Day, let's take a look at the root of these fears and now understanding them can help us not only overcome them, but also see why and how we should freely pursue fulfilment and joy through our various skills, talents, and passions.

We're often unnecessarily dependent on so many people, things, and situations. Just because we believe we cannot live without them, or achieve things without them, doesn't mean it's true. In fact, most of the time this irrational attachment holds us back, hindering our growth, or worse, sabotaging it.

Whether you believe your willpower is strong or weak, it's important to remember that it's a limited resource to begin with. We need to deploy it selectively and discerningly, a little at a time, only as necessary.

Often we're so focussed on the outcome, the result, that we lose sight of being fully present in the moment. But flowing with the process instead of constantly thinking of the end product increases our chances of succeeding, being more productive, or inculcating a new habit with ease.
In this episode I've shared examples of how paying attention to the process instead of the product helps us to:
- Reduce overwhelm and stress
- Be less dependent on validation
- Lower our expectations in a healthy way
- Avoid comparing our achievements with others
- Find joy and fulfilment in doing the work, creating, and developing good habits

You know those mornings after a bad night's sleep where you're a world hating, gloomy-doomy grouch? And then there are those times when you've slept peacefully like a baby through the night and wake up feeling all fresh and smiley and shunshine-y. Throughout my life I've experienced both these extremes a lot.
So in the middle of last year I decided enough was enough and consciously started developing some healthy practices to help me slow down, come to the present moment and let my brain and body know it's time to fall sleep, and sleep well.
In this episode I've spoken about my present night time ritual in detail. If you're someone who struggles with getting a good night's rest and high quality sleep, then this is for you, my friend! Something I've shared might be just what you were looking for.

I recently read this quote by Peter Drucker (at least, it's famously attributed to him) about how the culture within an organisation trumps all strategies and plans that the leaders make. It goes, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast".
This essentially means, if the team culture is good, then plans tend to work. But any strategy, even a good one, becomes useless in the face of a crappy culture. It's not so much about the ideas, but the people executing them. How they feel, their level of enthusiasm, their sense of ownership.
I believe the quote can be stretched to be applied to other facets of life too, not just in business. So in this episode, I've shared my perspectives on this idea of the immense power of nurturing a healthy culture in our businesses, homes, personal life, and society as a whole.

A couple of weeks ago I'd published an episode about how to handle unwanted advice as a conscious entrepreneur. I was asked how one should deal with uninvited advice in general, not just as a business owner. So here's the episode where I talk about my perspectives on advice, how to deal with it, and what we can actually take away from it.
- Deciding if the advice needs to be rejected or accepted
- Understanding where the person is coming from
- Different types of responses to match the levels of persistence
- The very important hidden lesson in unpleasant situations
- What an automatic advice giver could be doing instead
- And more...
I have to warn you, I've broken out in giggles a LOT through this episode! Enjoy. :)

Let's take a deep dive into the sea of feedback and online reviews for conscious business owners. Some of them are super important, and some are totally not worth your time. How do you differentiate between the two, and how do you handle them? In this episode I share:
- Why feedback and reviews are important for your conscious business
- Which feedback is actually useful
- How to actively ask for and receive helpful feedback and reviews
- What to do with the feedback once you have it
- Why you shouldn't take every single review seriously
- Who deserves your response and who doesn't
- How to turn a mediocre review into a positive one
- And so much more

When you run a conscious business, sometimes people around you can inundate you with well intentioned suggestions. Too much of this can be overwhelming and totally suck out your energy. Especially if the advice is coming from people who have absolutely no clue about how a business like yours is even run. And let's admit it, most "helpful" advisers fall into this category.
In this fifth segment of the miniseries, "Keeping Your Customers Delighted, While Also Maintaining Your Own Sanity and Joy", I dive deep into:
How to deal with unwanted ideas
Why you often need to nip the flow of suggestions in the bud
Two examples of how I dealt with advice givers in the past
What kind of advice that you should encourage or consider
Not trying to be perfect
And so much more!
Enjoy the episode! :)

Placing community at the heart of your business leads to so much fulfilment, joy, and peace of mind. This fourth segment of "Keeping your Customers Delighted, while also Maintaining Your Own Sanity and Joy" is my favourite in the miniseries so far.

The three facets of community surrounding your business
Why it's necessary to focus on each of them
How they can make your life easier and more joyful

How you accept orders and communicate with your potential clients is an area of your business which can either be frictionless and efficient, or a time sucking, mentally burdening black hole.

It's a delicate balance keeping your customers delighted, while also maintaining your own sanity and joy. In this miniseries I share some ways you can achieve this. Part one is about Pricing.

Take a short break to meditate in the middle of a busy day. Reset yourself into the present moment and overcome overwhelm. Remind yourself to be in the here and now completely, and let go of anything else. Resetting often lets you flow back into work with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.

“I’ve spent a lot of years wasting my time, thinking about other people, and doing other things. I figure I got another 40 years to really turn it around and do the things that I wanna do. Write more books, design courses, help more people, and stay on this way of eating to ensure my health to the end of my genetic potential. And that’s my plan.” – Karen Warwick
After a long hiatus away from the show, this interview seemed like the perfect come back episode to me. Karen Warwick is all about being truly authentic, healthy, and free. It was such a pleasure to have her wisdom, energy, and quick wit on my podcast.

From growing up in a village in Kenya, to becoming a nurse in the USA, from having zero knowledge about technology a year ago to successfully running online challenges and becoming an author now, the trajectory of Flossie Njama's life is absolutely incredible! And she's only just beginning the immense impact she's about the create on the world.
In this episode, Flossie shares her story, her struggles, and her successes through her life. Her experience as a nurse and personal journey of recovery ignited the passion in her to help others heal through a mind, body, soul approach.
She's also a big proponent of simplification over perfection. Her wisdom and energy will make you feel like you can absolutely accomplish anything, as long as you believe in yourself and just try. And she'll also have you wanting to start drinking warm lemon water and ginger shots. haha

Last month I got to meet my grandmother after more than a year. Though we've had phone calls and even a few video calls, getting to experience her beautiful, warm, loving energy in person felt so good!
In her eighties, she still keeps herself occupied all the time. It's so inspiring to watch her. Spending time with her made me reflect on the amazing life she's lived.
I began to wonder what she must've been like when she was in her early forties, and it dawned on me...when my grandma was as old as I am right now, she already had her first grandchild, me. That thought really shook me awake and took me on an introspective journey that triggered this episode.

I mix the sauces and tofu together, cover and let it marinate, bake everything, relish the dish, and slow down to let it digest. That’s an excellent process to achieve delicious baked tofu, but it also works successfully in other endeavours.
Here are the five steps:
- Inspiration – creation/planning/ideation
- Marination – allowing the ideas to come together
- Action – doing the work
- Celebration – savouring and honouring everything that led to this success
- Relaxation – resting after a job well done
In this episode I explained each step in detail, and share how you can incorporate this process into your business and personal life.
Implement the system and watch things fall into place beautifully. It’s an enjoyable cycle that keeps your work, your projects and your life flowing smoothly.

The energy of the waning moon is very conducive to clearing unwanted energy from your life so that space can be created for new, useful energy. I follow various spiritual practices on full moon nights and the days following it. Here are my five favourite full moon rituals for you to try.
They're simple and powerful. If you're new to this, don't have to do all of them at once. Just start with the practice which most resonates with you and build from there.
I've spoken about these five rituals in detail on this episode:
Washing and Charging Crystals
Write, Tear, Burn – Emotional and Mental Clearing
Sound and/or Aroma Ritual – Energetic Cleansing
Guided Meditation
Intentional Decluttering– Physical Cleaning for Manifestation
Apart from these, if you're able to, spend at least 30-60 minutes looking at the moon and bathing in its light every full moon night. It's a beautiful, calming, energising experience.

Marsha is hands down the most fun, interesting person I’ve interviewed on my show until now! As soon as you start listening to this conversation, you’ll feel the energy uplifting you. Our excitement and laughter throughout are both totally contagious, so make sure you’re somewhere where it’s okay for you to randomly burst out laughing.
The episode made me feel so good that I’ve listened to it multiple times. Yes, even after I had completed the editing and refining work and didn’t “need” to listen to it anymore! That’s how much I love it.
This woman is full of delightful stories and ideas! I can’t get enough of them. And I’m beyond excited for you all to get as hooked as I am to the wonderful world of Yes Yes Marsha.
Oh and if you’re a podcaster, you’d be lucky to have her as a guest. She created a secret web page just for my audience with all the links and resources she mentioned on the show. And what’s even more amazing is that she freaking noted down all our talking points and sent them across to me so I could easily copy/paste them below. How thoughtful is that?!
Here they are, the key topics we discussed in this episode:
- Storytelling as time travel
- Everything you need to know about how to tell good stories (in 5 mins)
- How to edit your stories
- Marsha's thoughts on manifestations and tarot (and how they can work, even for the skeptics)
- Her philosophy on why it's important to get your hopes up
- Her best ever life hack — writing letters to your future self

My friend Shilpa did a series of video interviews featuring women supporting women on her Instagram page during the week of International Women’s Day. I was delighted to be a mid-week guest!
The idea was to discuss mindfulness, joyfulness, and being yourself – through all of life’s ups and downs. But as the conversation progressed, she had so many more interesting questions that we ended up covering a wide range of topics. Tips and guidance to help women in their entrepreneurial journey and personal life.
Shilpa has a beautiful way of guiding the conversation and asking the kind of questions to dig up nuggets of wisdom and insights from you that you didn’t even realise you had. Once you listen, you’ll agree with me that this woman should be running her own podcast! Haha
By the end, I knew I just had to pull the audio from that interview and put it here for all of you. It’s like getting a delicious assorted platter of all the things I usually discuss on the show, plus more.
Here are some of the things Shilpa and I conversed about:
Mindfulness – being fully present in each moment
Establishing boundaries with family, colleagues and customers
Unapologetically taking time for yourself
Delegation over perfection
The power of prioritising fun
Sustainable happiness
Need for digital and physical disconnection
Running your business from a place of inspiration
Enabling others through your own happiness
Quieting the mind and avoiding overwhelm
Making lists, brain dumping and taking deep breaths
Overcoming blocks to having an abundance mindset
Being excited, finding lessons and showing gratitude
How to make difficult choices and when to let go

Holistic health and wellness coach Manasa Rajan experienced the magic of going vegan in her mid-twenties. It immensely benefitted her and her family’s wellness, and over the years has shaped her purpose in life.
Manasa's mission is to help people upgrade their food and take control of their health! And this means work within the food ecosystem to make clean, healthy alternatives easily accessible and the norm in the country.
In this conversation, we speak about the impact of switching to a plant based life beyond just food. The way it uplifts our energy and emotions, how it influences our way of thinking, and inspires us to help others.
We also discuss the need to prioritise women’s health, the great need to create positive change in the food eco system so everyone can access healthy food, the beautiful way the vegan and health food movement has been growing, and so much more.

The thing I love most about podcasting is getting to have meaningful connections with a bunch of awesome folks! In the year (and few months) since The Feel Good Factor was launched, I’ve been able to reach out to so many people whose unique voice and message I admire, and invite them to have a conversation with me on the show.
This interview with @shivya is one of the most enjoyable exchanges I’ve had the privilege to experience. Shivya is all about thinking and living outside the box. She’s a proponent of breaking norms and forging your own path in life. And through her work she inspires others to do the same.
I loved how easily we were able to converse with each other and smoothly navigate multiple topics. If we hadn’t had internet issues on the day of the recording, I think we might’ve gone on chatting for an additional hour. haha
We discussed:
Life as a digital nomad
Solo travel stories
Our creative processes
Developing your voice as a writer
Balancing authenticity with privacy
Feeling financially secure as a freelancer (especially in these uncertain times)
The Journeys project
Consciously aligned collaborations
What she liked about my Vegan Immersion Experience course
The positive impact we can create on others through our work
How to travel the world as a vegan
Being “cornered” into discovering hidden skills
Thinking outside the box
And more…
I just know you’re going to love getting to know this amazing woman!

What can you do when scary things are happening in the world and you feel helpless at the unfairness? What can you do when you want to heal someone or keep them safe, but you’re not in a position to do so?
I had a different episode planned for this week, but with what’s going on right now, I felt like answers to these questions were desperately needed by all of us. So I sat down and meditated, and channeled the messages I received into a recording.
I trust that this episode will help us all to create a positive impact in the world today and in the future too. Some of topics covered are:
- Focusing on what you can do instead of on what’s not in your control
- Protecting yourself from negativity
- Not getting attached to others reactions and opinions
- Raising your vibrations before taking any action
- The power of surrender and visualisation
I’ve also included an 8 min long Visualisation exercise (from 12:00 to 20:00). Make sure to sit in a quiet place and try it out. It’ll immensely uplift your energy and feelings.

This short episode is all about why it’s so important to invest in yourself, especially when it comes to anything that’ll make your life easier, eliminate friction or help in your personal growth. And how to recognise the difference between impulse buying that gives you short term pleasure and spending on something that’ll keep you happier for the longer run.
A few months ago, I invested in a ring light. It wasn’t even expensive, but I had kept putting off the purchase for the longest time because I kept wondering if it would be a “waste”. But when I finally did get it, it helped me create much more video content than I had before because I was not dependent on daylight anymore. Whenever inspiration strikes now, I can just sit down and start recording. The quality of my IGTV live videos and online workshops have also gone up noticeably, and this motivates me to do them more often.
Now looking back, I’m like, “duh! why didn’t I buy this gadget sooner?” Haha
This is just one example of the things I’ve hesitated to invest in at first, but after I did, it contributed to my life in multiple ways and paid off significantly. Mindfully investing in yourself creates a domino effect of opportunities and opens up your world. And I just had to talk about this on my show!
Bottomline – if it will bring you more peace of mind, give you more time freedom, make your work smooth, result in self-improvement and knowledge upgrade, help you build meaningful connections to benefit you in the longer run…don’t hesitate to spend. Investing in your present life, your present self is just as important as saving up for your future.

A little over two years ago, I listened to my first episode of The Food Heals Podcast (foodhealsnation.com). It featured some very inspiring women. I can never forget that feeling of expansion I had as the conversation progressed. It felt like there was so much potential for me to tap into. I just knew my life would be irrevocably changed from that point onwards though I didn't know how.
Flash forward to today, I've had the privilege of meeting All in person, attend the Food Heals Italy Retreat (the episode art photo was clicked there), and be a part of her Rise and Bloom Mastermind (https://veganosaurus.krtra.com/t/r56FUGTlmgdT) for the past year. My 2020 has been filled with so much growth and learning because I've been a part of the group. I've shared the kind of value I've found on the group in my conversation with Alli.

How do you know it's okay to let go of something you love? Something beautiful that's added so much value to the world. When you've poured much of your life, love and energy into something for many years, how can you move on and make peace with it?
This week we announced that our restaurant of nearly eight years old will be shut down in January. It's a landmark in the Indian vegan community that has touched and changed many lives. It's also been a huge part of me for the better part of a decade.
This episode is filled with vulnerability and raw emotions. I've expressed the fear based thoughts I've experienced in connection with this decision. And I've shared how I'm finding strength to look forward to a new beginning with faith and hope.
I hope it inspires you to look into your life with honesty. At your relationships, work, business...and all other aspects of your life to see what's serving you and what's holding you back. And I hope it helps you in letting go of whatever you might have lost in this past year or what you need to move on from now.

Mahathi Parashuram tells you why it's so important to make a big deal of your "happy birthday" and celebrate it, and how that attitude of self-love extends into the rest of the year. The conversation is filled with lots of humour, mingled with so much deep, powerful advice.
It's an episode that's very close to my heart because Mahathi is one of my dearest friends. We've known each other for a loooong time now and it feels great to feature someone I care so deeply about on my show.
She is a mother of two, a wife, a sister, a daughter and a friend. These roles she plays mean a lot to her. Mahathi cares deeply for the people she loves. She's passionate about her work in Public Relations at Grundfos and the impact she creates through it. She is also someone who has learned to value and love herself through the years.
I've seen this woman grow and thrive through so much in her life. I am proud of her and blessed to have her as my friend. Listen to her and get ready to be inspired to unapologetically put yourself first, above all else!

What if your heart desires to take you in a direction to achieve something seemingly impossible? Would you follow it? Chef Yin did exactly that!
She studied law and worked in PR, but when she discovered raw vegan cuisine, the passion to create it was so strong it didn't matter that she had no prior experience in the food industry, she got into it with complete dedication. The fact that neither raw food nor vegan food was known in Malaysia didn't stop her either. She just knew this was a path she had to take and bravely ventured forth.
Today she's an extremely popular Raw Vegan Chef in not just her country but also across the globe. In this interview she talks about her journey, experiences and the practices she follows to keep going strong. I know you're going to find her story very inspiring!
I mentioned my brand new course, Vegan Immersion Experience on this episode. Here's a link if you'd like to learn more about it: https://learnwith.veganosaurus.com/vegan-immersion-experience.

The introduction to this episode was presented by my friend Kris McPeak from the Elevate Your 8 podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elevate-your-8-podcast/id1440536489). Listen to her show for lots of inspiration to be productive and gain time freedom.
I'm always talking about how to follow your happiness and practice habits that make you feel good. In this episode I wanted to share how veganism is the source of so much joy in my own life and how going vegan can deeply impact yours too.
I recently created a course called Vegan Immersion Experience. It takes a holistic approach to being a happy, joyful vegan. I have spoken a bit about it on the episode. You can find more details here: https://learnwith.veganosaurus.com/vegan-immersion-experience
Between this episode and the course, my intention is to inspire and guide more people to embrace this beautiful, uplifting way of life. Becoming vegan is the best decision I've made in my life and I so want you to experience its magic too!
Episode's main web page/blog post: https://www.veganosaurus.com/go-vegan-be-happy-episode-46
In this meditation, I guide you to form a deeply loving and tender connection with your inner child. Spend a few minutes practicing it regularly. As your inner child feels more safe and cared for, you'll be able to experience and share greater joy and uplifting energy in your life.

“Love yourself enough to say no to others demands on your time and energy.” When I pulled this message from my Goddess Cards Deck, it validated so much of what I’ve been saying for a few years now. The card is about Boundaries, and drawing it spurred me to speak about it with you all.
Episode’s main web page: https://www.veganosaurus.com/set-clear-boundaries-episode-44/
How much of your time and energy are going into your work/business, family and other relationships on a daily basis? What’s left for self-care? And creativity? What about for just having fun and enjoying life?
Just because you love your work, or enjoy any activity which involves you giving your time and energy to others, doesn’t make it eligible to be categorised as “me time”. It’s a common pit we fall into.
This is why it’s so important to set clear boundaries!
First the boundaries need to be defined between ourselves and everyone else, especially in our work and personal life. Then, after we’ve carved out time away from our work and other people, we need to create sub-boundaries between different aspects of the rest of our life.
In this episode of The Feel Good Factor, I’ve spoken about how I’ve consciously tried to make this happen in my own life, and the immense benefits that have emerged.
If you’ve been overwhelmed (especially considering the work-from-home situation we’re experiencing right now), and if the lines between different day to day activities are blurred, you really need to listen to this message!
And as with many of my episodes, what I’ve shared here will especially strike a chord with small business entrepreneurs.
I’m all about helping conscious entrepreneurs build and grow their business. That’s why I run my holistic Vegan Business Coaching program. I’ve learnt many things the hard way in my entrepreneurial journey. I’d like my mistakes to serve you with some valuable lessons and inspiration on what to do and what to avoid.

I'm a procrastinator. I have a tendency to put things off until the last moment. But there are also instances when I have so much energy and enthusiasm to get things done super quickly.
Last night something made me contemplate on what makes me productive sometimes and lazy at other times. So the moment I woke up today, I recorded this episode. It's a simple thought but I believe it makes a world of difference. And I hope it helps you.

Ever wanted to do something that you thought might help others, but then hesitated because you questioned your own ability and authority? Imposter syndrome is a feeling of self-doubt. It makes you wonder what right you have to be doing anything or sharing any knowledge with the world, even though you feel called to do so.
You're not alone. We all go through this at one point or another.
- "I'm too old to do this."
- "I don't have enough knowledge to talk about this."
- "There are so many people teaching this already."
- "What if others laugh at me?"
If thoughts like these ever stopped you from writing/recording/posting/teaching something you felt passionate about, then it's not a co-incidence that you've stumbled upon this episode my friend. You are meant to listen to the message I've shared today.

Life is not necessarily easy just because you’ve overcome something. But you can use that as an experience to help other people. This is Tamar Medford's message to everyone.
As you listen to Tamar share her story, you’re filled with an immense sense of hope. It intensifies your trust that at any moment you choose, you can turn your life around, as long as you have a clear intention, vision and deep commitment.
Tamar talks about overcoming addiction, her book Hope Elevated, her journey into building a life that makes her happy and finding her highest purpose in helping others as a performance consultant/life coach.
Link to the original blog post for this episode: https://www.veganosaurus.com/hope-elevated-tamar-40/
More about Tamar:
Tamar Medford is a performance consultant, podcast host, and champion for people who suffer from addiction. Since overcoming her own 20-year battle with addiction and obesity in 2012, Tamar has dedicated her life to inspiring and empowering others to believe their positive transformation is possible too. She was inspired to start helping others and creating her podcast because she understands how difficult it can be to stay healthy and turn your life around. Tamar struggled with alcoholism and obesity until she hit her bottom. In early 2012, she let her troubled past inspire her to make some much-needed changes. Tamar realized that she could no longer do this alone and decided to ask for help. She started to take action and took responsibility for the life she had created for herself. Since then she has changed her mindset around health, taken control of her life and now wants to empower and inspire others to do the same.

As another powerful new moon cycle begins, I felt called to create a manifestation meditation for you. When I asked the Universe for guidance on the message I should share through this meditation, I felt a strong pull to focus on the blocks we create in the way of manifesting.
All the positivity, love, abundance, success, joy, friends, happiness... everything we desire is attracted to us and is constantly flowing towards us. But often, instead of simply relaxing and receiving them, we let fear based thoughts and feelings become blocks that obstruct this flow.
Through the guided imagery in this meditation practice, you will identify and melt these blocks away. Gently, powerfully and with love.
I start with an introduction to explain the different kinds of blocks that we create. The actual meditation begins at 3:42 (incase you're coming back to do the meditation after the first time and would like to jump to it).

A recent conversation with a friend about how we use our weaknesses to our benefit reminded me about this blog post I'd written over a decade ago. It's all about how I would push my laziness to its limit and come out of the other end to stop procrastinating and get household chores done.
It made me so happy to see that something I'd written so long ago actually aligns with a lot of the messaging I share on my podcast now - loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, rewarding ourselves and celebrating even the smallest of achievements, and so much more. I had to read it out to you all.
It's kind of funny that a large part of this episode is about dealing with procrastination, because it's being published a day later than usual due to... surprise surprise... my procrastination! Hehe I hope you get a good laugh out of this episode. I totally did.

Continuing my conversation with Kuntal Joisher about his feelings and experience when he reached the summit of Mt. Everest, and his life after that.
In last week's episode, he spoke about what made him become a vegan mountaineer to begin with. In this second and final part of the interview, he shares his motivation behind going through the arduous journey of climbing the mountain for the second time, what keeps him going in life after achieving his biggest dream and his goals for the future.
This episode is worth a listen just to hear the powerful emotions in his voice as he shares his story! Be prepared to be moved.
More about Kuntal:
Kuntal Joisher combines the distinction of being both an accomplished mountaineer and a high-end, computer science professional. His insatiable passion for mountaineering has led him to climb mountain ranges across the world, including the Western Ghats, the Northern Ice cap in Chile, and the Nepalese and Indian Himalaya.
Kuntal has climbed to the top of Mt. Everest from both Nepal side (May 19th 2016), and China side (May 23rd, 2019). He regularly travels across the world to speak about his life transforming journey of climbing Mt. Everest in hopes to inspire his audience to pursue their dreams and passions.
In addition to his dedication to mountaineering, Kuntal is passionate about three causes: raising awareness about the disease of Dementia, spreading the message of Veganism, and education of the underprivileged in Nepal.

Kuntal Joisher is the first Vegan to have climbed Mt. Everest. And he’s done it twice!
This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series. In today’s conversation we get to know all about Kuntal’s back story and inspiration. The twists and turns in his life that unexpectedly led him on his journey to becoming a passionate mountaineer.
Kuntal is an incredible storyteller! Each time I listen to him talk, I can picture his experiences with so much clarity and detail. Today’s conversation stops short of Kuntal’s actual arrival at the summit of Mt. Everest, and there’s already so much to be inspired by!
My hope is that between this episode and the next, Kuntal’s story motivates you to follow your dreams and see the value in making them come true no matter what.

A total disconnection from the digital world is something we all intend to do at some point, but rarely ever get around to it.
Recently I took a complete day off without even turning on the internet on my phone. No social media, no emails, no messages... IT. FELT. AMAZING. I knew I had to share the experience with you all.
In this episode, I've spoken about the why it's such a good thing to do a digital detox, what we can do in the freed up time and how it has the potential to greatly benefit us.
I intend to practice this regularly and I hope you'll join me on this journey.

Our thoughts and feelings are immensely powerful tools. We can use them to attract and create the life that we desire. But often, we end up throwing them away on people and situations that don't deserve them.
In this episode, I've shared my thoughts on how we tend to waste our precious energy on past hurts, and how we can turn things around to become strong magnets for good things. Because feeling good is the key to manifestation.

Let me start by saying that Janice's story is damn freaking inspiring! She is a beacon of hope for anyone who wants to turn their pain to purpose.
The first trauma she went through in childhood lead to eating disorders and self judgement. The next (bigger) trauma in adulthood however, completely changed her outlook on life and self-care. After that, Janice started to truly shine from the inside out and has been able to mentor and guide many women to find their power.
Janice's gentle voice and kind energy make this interview not just inspiring, but also very pleasant to listen to.

She began her career in pageantry at 17, winning over 10 major titles, most notably, Mrs. United States, where she was a guest of President Clinton and the White House, and made over 200 appearances on behalf of Lung Health and Wellness.

Italy went into a lockdown state much before most the world. This interview with Anna Di Fiori is almost like a message from the future. Haha
Anna lives in Naples with her family. Being in a locked down situation has almost become the new normal for the people there. She talks about all the things she does on a daily basis to go through these times with ease, grace and joy.
Anna's advice is gold for those of us who have only recently been forced to stay home to stay safe. In the interview, we will know what to expect over the next few weeks/months and how to create a positive routine for ourselves and the people around us until things are normal once again.
Anna's message is one of hope, optimism and a little bit of humour. Enjoy! :)

Self-worth equals net-worth. Do you charge deservingly for your products, services, and contribution to society?
In this episode, I share the story of how when we let go of the guilt of “affordability” and started to value our foods, specialty products and services properly, it helped our vegan restaurant grown, gain more support and appreciation. And we ended up being in a position to do significantly more to further the cause we set out to support in the first place.
Though the story focuses on conscious entrepreneurship, it is just as applicable to artists, professionals and anyone at all who is earning money. Value your offerings, and others will value them too.

A quick guided meditation to begin your day on a happy, positive, high note. It evokes the energies of gratitude and love, and helps you set the intention for a day you can really look forward to.
The best time to listen to it is first thing in the morning as soon as you wake up, before you get out of bed. But if you need a burst of happy energy at any point during the day, this meditation can be practiced then too.

"Hello, hello, hello! I'm so excited to be here.
Welcome to the first episode of The Feel Good Factor. My name is Susmitha Veganosaurus, and this is a podcast about finding things that trigger good feelings, and pursuing them.
Our biggest Dharma, our purpose on this earth, is to spread love, joy, good feelings... But this must start with self love. Because we can only truly give what we already have.
Simple right? Take a moment to let that sink in. We can only truly give what we already have. When we are deeply happy. The natural progression of that happiness is to overflow and go out into the world.
Strengthen your inner light, and it will automatically shine out into the world and uplift everyone around you. This podcast will have talks, interviews, meditations, all focused on inspiring happiness and motivating you to follow your bliss.
In the past couple of years, I've realised the immense importance and power of pursuing good feelings through every aspect of my life. Good feelings have to be my top priority. So as you can guess, the purpose of this podcast is going to be all about... me feeling good! laughs
I'm going to interview people who make me happy. I'm going to record meditations, which make me feel calm and joyful. And through this whole process, I'm hoping all these good feelings will rub off on you, the listener.
The Feel Good Factor is going to be my little happy place, and I'm hoping it will be yours too. Looking forward to making beautiful connections on this new journey.
Thank you so much for listening to this very first, introduction episode of The Feel Good Factor.
Talk to you soon. Bye."
