In this “Plot Twist” episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light Watkins sits down with Sahara Rose, a best-selling author and Ayurvedic expert, to explore her remarkable journey of resilience and self-discovery. Known for her books Eat Feel Fresh, The Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda, and Discover Your Dharma, Sahara shares how she overcame significant challenges to follow her true path.
Listeners will hear Sahara recount the difficulties she faced while writing her first book, especially the intense opposition from her parents, who labeled her a failure. Despite these hurdles, she persevered, driven by a deep belief in her mission. Her story takes a fascinating turn as she moves to Bali, where she finds solace and inspiration among spiritual entrepreneurs. This period in her life introduces her to transformative practices like ecstatic dance and shamanic training, which help her reclaim her power and trust her intuition.
Sahara's journey is a powerful example of believing in oneself, even when faced with doubt from those closest to us. She emphasizes the need to protect one’s dreams from negative influences and to trust in one's inner voice, no matter how unconventional the path may appear.
Featured in major publications like Vogue, Forbes, and Yoga Journal, and as the host of the number one spiritual podcast on iTunes, The Highest Self Podcast, Sahara Rose's story is both inspiring and enlightening. This episode will resonate with anyone who has ever faced a difficult choice or a challenging path. Tune in to hear how Sahara Rose turned her life's plot twists into a powerful narrative of triumph and transformation.
