Unconditional Joy

We’ve all heard the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated.But what about the reverse?

In this episode, I explore the Reverse Golden Rule — the simple but powerful idea of treating yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and compassion that you offer to others.

It’s about noticing how harshly we can speak to ourselves… and realizing that we’d never say those same things to a friend.

You’ll hear why self-compa...

We spend so much of our spiritual journey adding — more books, more retreats, more teachers. But what if true growth begins when we stop adding and start subtracting?

In this episode, I share how my path shifted from collecting knowledge to letting go of old conditioning, attachments, and beliefs that kept me from unconditional joy. Inspired by Alan Watts’ insight — “A scholar tries to learn something every day; a student of Buddhis...

Sometimes sadness isn’t a sign that you’re falling behind on your spiritual path — it’s a sign that something deep within you is healing.

In this episode, I open up about a recent phase of sadness that made me question my progress. I share how I learned that these low points aren’t failures; they’re part of the process. When old emotions rise to the surface, they’re coming up to be released — not to punish you, but to free you.

What if your stressful thoughts weren’t true?

In this episode, I share how Byron Katie’s book Loving What Is completely changed the way I see my mind, my emotions, and my suffering. Her method—called The Work—is a simple yet powerful process of questioning the thoughts that cause our pain.

I’ll walk you through the four questions, explain how I’ve been applying them in my own life, and reflect on the freedom that comes when w...

How do you actually measure spiritual growth? It’s not about how many books you’ve read or how often you meditate — it’s about how you respond when life tests you.

In this episode, I share a few personal stories that helped me see just how far I’ve come — moments that once would’ve ruined my whole day but now pass within seconds.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your inner work is really working, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever felt like someone completely misunderstood you? 🤔

In this episode, I share a life-changing metaphor from Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements: imagine a giant mall filled with theaters, each one playing a different movie. In your theater, you’re the star. In your mom’s, your partner’s, your friend’s—they’re the stars, and you’re just a side character.

This simple but profound teaching reveals why we shouldn’t ...

Have you ever felt like you’re living the wrong life — that maybe you weren’t meant to be here, in this exact situation, with these exact people?

In this episode, I share a deeply personal part of my journey — a time when I wished for a completely different life and believed I wasn’t meant to walk the path I was on. What helped me shift my perspective was a simple, yet profound truth: there are no errors in the divine plan.

Does your mind ever throw tantrums, repeat the same thoughts, or make you miserable with endless chatter? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share a powerful shift that’s helped me stop fighting my thoughts and start relating to my mind in a whole new way.

Spirituality isn’t only about meditation, journaling, or healing emotions—it’s also about laughter, joy, and fun. In this episode, I share a story that reminded me of the simple but profound truth that being fully present often means letting go of seriousness and enjoying life.

It’s easy to get caught up in bills, responsibilities, and even the pressure to grow spiritually—but when we forget to laugh, we forget a core part of wh...

What if the emotions you’re pushing away—fear, anger, jealousy, sadness—are actually the key to your freedom?

In this episode, I share the biggest shift I’ve experienced on my spiritual path: learning to welcome uncomfortable emotions instead of resisting them. By allowing them to pass through, I’ve found that their grip on me loosens, the blockages (samskaras) stored in the body begin to release, and life feels lighter and free...

Here is a PRACTICAL way in which I handle fear, anger, sadness, frustration, and other uncomfortable emotions.

Most of us push away uncomfortable emotions like fear, sadness, or anger. We distract ourselves, stay busy, scroll on our phones, or numb with food and habits. But here’s the counterintuitive truth: the more we resist, the more these emotions get stored and return even stronger.

In this episode, I share the practice that cha...

Sometimes the hardest part of the spiritual path isn’t our own growth—it’s watching the people we love struggle, resist, or simply walk a different path. The painful truth is: you can’t force spiritual growth on loved ones.

In this video, I share my own experience of trying to “wake up” those around me, and the lessons I had to learn when I realized that this too was part of my spiritual ego. True love and compassion mean allowing o...

I used to think I understood surrender—until I read something that stopped me in my tracks.In this episode, I share a subtle but important distinction I learned from Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now that helped me realize I wasn’t truly letting go...
