Hey everyone! Today’s episode is one of those deep chats that I know will land with so many of you.We’re diving into how to STOP suffering by aligning with the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, but in a way that actually makes sense in real life.You don’t need to live in the Himalayas or have everything “figured out.” You just need to start practicing presence, awareness, and alignment. I’m breaking down how I apply each spiritual law in my own messy, human, everyday way, so you can too.Expect real talk, relatable stories, and simple tools that help you stop resisting life and start flowing with it.And yes… if you’ve been feeling disconnected, judgmental, or like you’re “behind” in life, this one’s your reminder: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. 💫Listen all the way through because the last few laws (especially Karma and Dharma) might just change how you see your whole purpose.✨✨This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp, the online therapy platform that matches users with licensed therapists to support mental and emotional wellbeing.
