あらすじ・解説
In this episode, I chat with Carl J Ashley who shares an incredible journey from a life of addiction and indifference to one filled with mindfulness, spiritual awakening, and creative expression. Reflecting on his suburban roots and transformative experiences, including a life-changing near-death encounter and the disciplined practice of self-reflection, we discuss how writing and creativity helped him to heal and grow.
Join me for an inspirational conversation about resilience, exploring our true selves, and the transformative power of embracing one's creative and spiritual journey.
