Shifting Paradigms

On this episode of The Sacred Donut Podcast we travel from lemonhead to jarhead, from lightslave to lightworker, from soldiers to warriors, our special guests Charessa and Alex Benavidez are living proof of what a path of enlightenment and spiritual awakening can do to enhance life and improve relationships. 

Join us on this journey with a special couple, from their "officer and a gentleman," beginnings through their hamster wheel existence through codependency and ancestral wounds to discovering their own truths through Cosmic investigation. 

If you are a veteran, a spouse of a veteran, self medicating, questioning your existence, without a purpose, trapped in the dark, just surviving... open your heart as you listen --  there are nuggets of hope in this story, there is a light inside you, it may be dim, but there is a light. 

Here is a way, a tool, some knowledge, some wisdom, a reminder. The truth is nobody is coming to save you. YOU are going to save you. You are the Warrior you have been waiting for.
