Sacred Teeth Healing Journey | Ep 25
In this solo episode of Born to Be Free, recorded in Davos, the birthplace of this podcast...I share one of the most vulnerable chapters of my life.
Earlier this year in Bali, I found myself navigating a health crisis that brought me face-to-face with long-buried shame and deeper layers of healing I hadn’t yet met. What you’ll witness are raw clips I recorded just days after undergoing surgery. They are unfiltered, bloody, and real..an offering of truth, not perfection.
For most of my life, I’ve walked the path of alternative healing—Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, plant medicine, holistic therapies. And I still honor those traditions deeply. But sometimes, we must also receive the grace of Western medicine. I’m grateful for that system too, for the support it offered when I needed it most. So I made the choice to undergo bone graft surgery. Not because it aligned with how I usually do things, but because it was necessary.
Because...
'’In the worst-case scenario, you will lose your teeth.”
That was the diagnosis my dentist in Bali gave me after a checkup I scheduled—because of a dream.
In the dream, I lost all my teeth. It wasn’t the first time.
I’ve had this dream a few times in my life.
For many years, I carried a strong, almost primal fear in my system: the fear that one day I would lose all my teeth.
I was raised with the belief that having beautiful teeth was essential—necessary—to attract a partner. And I know that may sound silly to you, but to me, it was deeply ingrained.
One part of me knew that belief wasn’t true. And another part of me truly believed that it was.
My self-image became tied to the beauty, the health, the well-being of my teeth. My gums are bigger than most, and for many years I was self-conscious about it. I didn’t like that part of my body.
But through many love rituals and deep personal work, I learned to accept it. Maybe I can’t yet say I love it—but I can accept it. I can appreciate it.
I can witness the wonder and infinite intelligence in that part of me. Then came the day when I had to face it all. I needed surgery. I had periodontitis, and I didn’t want to lose my teeth.
The doctor told me: You can do a bone graft surgery, and hopefully the bone will regenerate in the next four to eight months—and you’ll be able to keep your teeth.
So I did the surgery.
For two weeks, I was in bed with stitches in my mouth.
And in those quiet, tender days, I descended underground— I met the little girl who felt so ashamed of her teeth. Ashamed of having braces. Ashamed of being seen.
And in those two weeks, I released an incredible amount of shame—shame that had been buried at the bottom of the iceberg, also known as the unconscious.
I’m sharing this with you so you know: you’re not alone. Maybe there’s something in your life that you’re struggling with—your looks, your hair, your back, your skin… whatever it may be.
I know so many people who are suffering quietly with these things.
So please—hear me when I say:
You are not alone. Reach out for help. Get support. And remember: you are ever loved.
No matter what.
With love and sovereignty,
Sharada
