It was such an honor to be on my friends podcast last spring - Pickleball and Partnership with Charlotte Jukes - this was right after I had come back from India in February and right after I had come home from a Cathy Heller's Retreat in LA in March two really significant healing events in my life where I share openingly on this episode.

This is my first podcast interview episode ever and very special near and dear to my heart - enjoy! Now a year later I am dropping it here - the sound quality is not the greatest - but it's still really good - enjoy!

In this episode of the Pickleball and Partnership podcast, host Charlotte Jukes converses with Shabana, who shares her deeply moving story of resilience and identity. Shabana recounts her journey from being found at a train station in India, being adopted, to discovering her roots and visiting her orphanage. The episode also reveals the incredible synchronicities Shabana experienced, including determining her chosen birthday with the help of newfound friends and human design. Shabana's story emphasizes the importance of choice, healing, and being present. The connection to pickleball as a fun and unifying activity adds a metaphor for life's playfulness and the importance of enjoying and connecting with others.

In this Manifesting Monday episode, Shabana shares a heartfelt (and slightly hilarious) story about how her children unknowingly manifested two cats — and how that experience became a powerful reminder of how manifestation truly works.

Children don’t overthink the “how.”
They ask.
They believe.
They let go.
Then they go play.

And that energy? It’s magnetic.

When her kids repeatedly asked for a pet, Shabana set clear boundaries and very specific conditions: the cat had to be free, indoor, litter-box trained, vaccinated, and basically the perfect situation. She wasn’t actively searching — just open.

Less than two weeks later, the exact opportunity appeared.

What unfolded next became one of her family’s greatest blessings — and a daily reminder that when we ask, trust, and detach, life has a way of delivering in perfect timing.

In This Episode:

• Why children are natural manifesters
• The power of asking, believing, and letting go
• Setting intentions without forcing outcomes
• Boundaries + openness = alignment
• How pets teach presence, loyalty, and unconditional love
• Trusting divine timing
• Recognizing everyday blessings

Manifesting Wisdom from Our Pets:

✨ Love doesn’t need language.
✨ Presence is power.
✨ Joy is found in the ordinary.
✨ Stillness teaches what noise never could.
✨ Divine guidance doesn’t always shout — sometimes it purrs.

Weekly Mantras:

• I receive divine wisdom in every form.
• I slow down enough to notice the lessons around me.
• I am guided by unconditional love.
• The universe speaks through energy, not just words.
• I trust what I feel, even when it’s quiet.

If this episode touched your heart, please follow the show, leave a five-star review, and share it with someone who needs a little reminder that magic is often closer than we think.

Healing in Real Time: Adoption, Marriage, Life, Returning to India & So much more!

In this deeply personal episode of Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana, I’m interviewed by Kimberly Katherine from The Light Keeper's Path — and what unfolds is healing in real time.

We talk about my personal life's journey:

✨ Being adopted from India at a very young age
✨ Growing up in Maryland and navigating identity
✨ Finding the one, marriage challenges, choosing commitment and resilience
✨ Discovering my gifts through fitness and organization
✨ Returning to India after 36 years
✨ Visiting the orphanage where my journey began
✨ Reclaiming belonging, forgiveness, and empowerment

This conversation is raw, emotional, and transformational.

If you’ve ever questioned your story or wondered how healing really happens — this one is for you.

With love,
Shabana 💛
