Even at work?!?! In today's podcast, I answer these questions and more as we dive into what enlightenment is, how to get it, why you're not enlightened, and how to make sure you're getting the…
We all have times in our lives when we are going through difficult times and we start to wonder why the heck we're here? We can begin to lose faith that we are here for any other purpose than to suffer. But there is a cause for this crisis of meaninglessness. When we understand the cause, we are able to see that it is not life that has lost meaning.…
Oftentimes, we try to conform in order to get approval and acceptance. But we never get it and we just end up pretending to be someone we're not. The truth is, we won't be liked by everybody.

In this podcast, I talk about why some people feel depressed after reflecting on something difficult in their lives, and I share how we can…

Anger is like pumping air into a balloon. When it starts to get overinflated, little leaks sprout up. Most of us try to cover those little holes with band-aids, such as alcohol, food, screen time, etc... But that only causes new holes to spring up. We must learn to turn off the air pump if we want to get to the root of the problem. But is anger always bad?…

All addictions rob us of the chance to be at deep peace and rest. They take over our mind, and chasing the high becomes our full-time job with overtime. Only when we don’t know the deep peace within do we search for it in vain outside of ourselves. Enjoying our favorite activities without attachment and craving is the key to freedom. It is when we become attached that we sacrifice…
