Healing the Stories we Inherit: Serena Arora's Sister Science Story

What happens when the resilience that carried your family forward becomes the very thing holding you back?

Serena Arora, author of Unbound, joins Jill to explore that question through the lens of Ayurveda, yoga, and generational healing. Serena shares how being a first-generation Canadian of Indian and Chinese descent, gave her "immigrit" and "immiguilt", words she coined to describe the resilience and guilt carried by immigrant children. 

Together, Jill and Serena unpack how yoga and Ayurveda are far more than wellness practices, they are tools for processing generational trauma, releasing accumulated "ama," and finding the courage to live in alignment with your own truth.

This one is a powerful listen for anyone navigating inherited expectations, cultural identity, and the cost of doing life right vs being in relationship with your life. 

Themes: Vulnerability, Ayurveda, Breaking Generational Patterns, Feminine Wisdom, Personal Growth, Healing, and Truth.

Serena is a #1 international bestselling author of "Unbound," an Ayurvedic health practitioner and a yoga therapist of over 25 years who’s dedicated much of her career to guiding transformation—both at her retreat center in Costa Rica and through teacher trainings across the globe. Serena believes our histories live in our bodies, and she offers practical, accessible rituals rooted in Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga that help women break patterns and come home to themselves.

Born and raised in Calgary, Canada by an Indian father and Chinese mother, her personal journey as an immigrant daughter balancing generational expectations with her own healing brings another textured angle to the conversation.
