With deep roots in mental health through both family and academic influence, Jonathan Marion shares how he tuned out societal expectations to tune into his soul’s calling.
Together, they explore what it means to shed outdated roles, embrace purposeful change, and use grief, movement, and global exploration as catalysts for healing. This conversation is a masterclass in conscious transformation.
