Episode Details

When Oprah Winfrey, Jack Canfield, and Deepak Chopra all agree on something, you know it’s probably worth at least checking out — and I was absolutely blown away by my time with Panache Desai, author of "You Are Enough: Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility."

There are few conversations I’ve had in my life that were more uplifting or inspiring than this one. Panache is truly a spiritual teacher for the modern age, able to communicate spiritual truths and ancient concepts in a way that feels simple and approachable. 

"You Are Enough," for example, shares a revelatory energetic process that moves you beyond what holds you back, opening a gateway to passion, purpose, and possibility. It isn’t just a theory. You can put the ideas that Panache shares in this podcast and in the book into action right away, transforming the way you experience life.

But, above all else, we both hope you leave this episode with one takeaway — that YOU ARE ENOUGH!
