Expanded x Ep. 41: SriMati
“If you’re really really blessed, you’ll be dismantled at least once in your life because that is the beauty.”
SriMati, aka Julie Piatt, joins the EXPANDED Podcast for a truly expansive episode on all things from life, love, family and spirituality. She has always been one of my biggest expanders and I am beyond excited to share our conversation with you. SriMati takes us on her journey of her career in design, to finding her spiritual path, becoming a mother of 4, patience and trust through financial collapse, partnership and everything in between. Her spiritual devotion, practice and abilities are an inspiration.

Words from SriMati:
“My devotion to life, the life that is breathing through me is what allows me to manifest, what allows me to create, and bring my visions into fruition.”
“If you’re really really blessed, you’ll be dismantled at least once in your life because that is the beauty. If you can accept it as a warrior training and if you can lesson your moments of emotional disturbance as a result of what is happening to you, the test will resolve and you will go beyond it.”
“It’s all perspective. It’s what perspective do you want to take about what is happening to you. As a warrior, as a transformer, we have to choose a different perspective and don’t let anyone else define what your experience is.”
“The ability to cultivate that awareness being surrender, humility, a heart merging and an expansion into realms you could have never imagined for. It allows the portal for the miraculous to enter. In that Fram, the manifestation is a softness, a creativity, a flow.”
“I think there is an exciting potential in the field now that has never been and that is to actually experience a relationship that is beyond the false princess/prince paradigm that is exploding right now. I’m going to say yay awesome for you guys. Whenever we feel that completion is going to come in the other, it’s an illusion. Every single experience in your life can be addressed by turning the magnifying glass on your own being.”
“That’s the thing with healing that is important to say. We don’t want to look at the ugly. We just want to take a pill and have it go away. But to really experience a transformation you have to look at all the ugly stuff.”
