What if your greatest freedom comes not from achieving more, but from letting go of the stories that hold you back? What if purpose, peace, and enlightenment are waiting for you not at some mystical place or after performing a flamboyant ritual, but right where you are — within?
In today's transformative episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, spiritual guide and best-selling author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati joins Marci for a heartfelt conversation about awakening, surrendering, and returning to our truest selves. Through exquisite storytelling, soul-level wisdom, and loving clarity, Sadhvi reveals the path to genuine transformation, teaching us that true healing begins only after "we are done" with our pain, and purpose arises when we stop seeking it outside of ourselves.
Sadhvi is a renowned spiritual leader, best-selling author, and motivational speaker based in Rishikesh, India. Originally from Los Angeles, she holds a PhD in Psychology and is a graduate of Stanford University. After a transformative experience at the sacred Ganga River, she renounced her American life and was ordained into the sacred order of Sanyas by her guru, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji.
Tune in and discover:
The moment Sahdvi let go of her old identity and how that renounce led to radical freedom
Why you don't need to "find your purpose" to live with purpose
How creating a sacred ritual — like crying in the shower — can become a gateway to healing
The difference between emotional release and true spiritual surrender
How perspective can shift fear into peace (with a beautiful Monet metaphor you won't forget)
Why our highest Dharma isn't about what we do, but who we are and why we are doing it
What it means to awaken to your essence — and how to start now
