Clarity isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about finally hearing the truth that’s been waiting inside you.
What if the fog you keep running into isn’t a barrier, but an invitation? In this episode, Nesha Pai sits down with Emily Paul, the founder of Aum Holistic Healing Arts, to talk about what it really means to come home to yourself. Through her work rooted in Daoism, alchemy, and intuitive guidance, Emily helps people reconnect with their purpose, not by chasing something outside themselves, but by learning to listen inward.
Nesha and Emily discuss how clarity often arrives quietly, after we’ve started shedding old stories and tuning into the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to ignore. Emily shares how her approach, including the Nine Palaces of Daoist alchemy, offers a structure for understanding the different areas of life like health, wealth, creativity, wisdom, and how they can work together to bring us into alignment.
This episode reminds us that clarity grows when we pause long enough to ask better questions and stay open to what rises up.
