Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia professor and leading researcher on spirituality and mental health, shares groundbreaking neuroscience that proves we're all born with an "awakened brain", but two-thirds of us never activate it. She unpacks why depression is often misdiagnosed spiritual hunger, not medical illness, and reveals the three neural circuits that light up when we connect to something greater than ourselves. Through deeply personal stories, including her five-year struggle with infertility that ended the moment she opened her heart to adoption, Lisa shows how synchronicities aren't coincidence, they're guidance. You'll walk away knowing that your pain isn't against you, it's the doorway to discovering who you're meant to become.
