Feed Your Peace

About Feed Your Peace

Welcome. I’m Sadhna.

I grew up between two worlds - a mom from India and a dad from Kentucky. One shared her love of masala chai, introduced me to timeless wisdom, and tirelessly answered my favorite question: “But why, Mommy?” The other taught me to appreciate pie, horses, and a little hillbilly music - but his greatest gift was never asking me to fit into anyone else’s mold. Whenever my independent streak showed up, he’d just grin and say, “You always were an independent little cuss, sweetheart.”

For years, I thought I had to choose between those worlds.

Turns out, they were both preparing me for this one.

My twenties looked nothing like my life today. I traveled the world as a model - tarot deck in one hand, a Sony Walkman blasting Appetite for Destruction in the other. Back home in the States, I landed a dream job in artist relations at Gibson, where I even got to interview B.B. King, before moving into producing karaoke videos.

Life was loud.

Then it got very, very quiet.

I became a mom.

Overnight, late nights backstage turned into pancake mornings. Then came divorce, anxiety, and the kind of season that makes you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

And then - because life has a strange sense of humor - I met a guru from India while walking down Ventura Boulevard.

You really can’t make this stuff up.

He gave me a mantra.

I had no idea that quiet moment would change the trajectory of my life.

A year later, as a single mom of two, I enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu’s patisserie and baking program. Somewhere between flour, water, and time, I discovered something no cookbook had ever promised me: bread has a way of teaching patience, presence, and trust - if you’re willing to pay attention.

Peace isn’t found.

It’s cultivated.

Bread taught me that.

Motherhood confirmed it.

Yoga gave it language.

Ayurveda gave it rhythm.

Writing became how I share it.

These days, life is a mix of bread dough rising on the counter, homeschooling our twins, a cup of chai that’s gone cold because I got distracted chasing an idea, and trying to remember where I left my reading glasses. I’m still baking bread. I’m still asking big questions. I’m still that independent little cuss my Daddy always knew I was.

Feed Your Peace is the Substack home of Daily Sadhna.

This is a place for anyone who wants to cultivate a little more peace without checking out of real life.

Peace isn’t built in extraordinary moments.

It’s cultivated in ordinary ones.

Here you’ll find stories, recipes, and seasonal rituals for the beautiful, ordinary work of feeding your peace.

Some days we’ll talk about the Upanishads.

Some days we’ll crank up Aerosmith.

Sometimes both belong in the same kitchen.

Pull up a chair.

There’s always room at the table.
