Ep. 41 - Spirituality in manifestation, Art, Family and A Financial Journey with SriMati

In this episode of the EXPANDED Podcast, host Jessica Gill welcomes SriMati, also known as Julie Piatt, for a deep and wide-ranging conversation. SriMati shares her journey from a career in fashion design to building a spiritual life, discussing her connection to nature, her family's financial struggles, and the principles of devotion and healing that guide her. The discussion covers her unique approach to parenting, partnership, and personal transformation through Ayurveda and embodiment practices.
SriMati begins by contrasting her nature-filled childhood with modern parenting, explaining how her deep connection with nature fuels her creativity and manifestation. She then recounts her career shift from the exhausting fashion wholesale model to building Jai House, and discusses her Human Design as a Generator. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on a seven-year period of financial collapse and spiritual dismantling with her husband, Rich Roll, where she trusted her heart over her mind, even pawning items for her daughter's birthday. She emphasizes that the family bonded through the struggle and reflects on the pressure on men to tie self-worth to money. The discussion moves to devotion as the core of manifestation, parenting advice that treats children as equals, and taking personal responsibility in relationships. Finally, SriMati introduces her 'Water Tiger' system for embodiment and shares her personal healing journey, choosing Ayurveda and meditation over surgery for a neck cyst.
